Happy Thanksgiving!

I spent this Thanksgiving with Katherine and Taurean! Sorry for abandoning you parents! I flew out to Kentucky and Katherine and Taurean showed me all the sights of Louisville and great hospitality!

Then we drove through 6 different states, over the river and through to woods to NYC to see the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! Only one of my favorite American Traditions!

This NYPD cop stood across from us for a good four hours while we waited for the parade to start. All I can say is... he didn't have a ring.... if you know what I mean. wink. wink

I simply love these people with the big heads. This picture should be put in a history book.

This is the NYPD marching band... aka weaksauce... yes, they actually took off their drums right in the middle of the parade...with the way this situation appears I'd rather have a skinny tall 17 year old high school boy protect me than one of these guys. At least they have the strength the wear their drum throughout the entire parade! I couldn't stop laughing when I saw this.

The American Girl Place!!!! My childhood dreamland!

It's too bad that I am too old for these!!!

And it's also too bad that I am too young for my perfect Matt Lauer! Inappropriate man crush!

We went to the Met and explored it for a few hours! It was so cool! The Upper East Side is where its at! I think I was made for New York City! And what would a trip to NY be without a trip to Serendipity 3! Perfect trip!

Shy Abby

Most people who know me well would think me to be an outgoing person. I mean, I'm loud I make outrageous/ slightly inappropriate comments most of the time, and my days usually consist of constant streams of embarrassing and awkward situations. So a class presentation shouldn't be a big deal right. I mean how much more a fool can I make of myself.

But then it happens. The heart starts pounding. My hands start shaking. Voice trembles. Blood rushes to my face. I loose all coherence and don't even recognize the words coming out of my mouth. Face is the color of a tomato by now. What am I even saying? Did I mention that part twice? Add in a few awkward "o boys" and "you betcha's" and you've just witnessed a presentation by Miss Abby Wheatley.

Sacrament meeting talks are this times 999 billion!!!!!!! But the weirdest part is...... I secretly enjoy it. There is such power when speaking to large groups of people. Please keep this on the DL......... you didn't hear it from me.

Holla back for Awesome Professors yo!!!!

My professors have been in a really good mood lately, gotta love it while it lasts.

This is an excerpt from my Geography of U.S. and Canada class discussion today

" I've always said that B's are for balance. If I balance a job, dating life, church callings, and schoolwork at the same time then I will get a B in a class. Where as those students who get A's... well they're not married for one thing! They don't date, don't have a job, or read their scriptures. B people do." - my professor

Maybe next time I get a B, I won't cry about it to my family over the phone. (which has been known to happen in the past). After all B is for Balanced.

Ps. On a major side note, everyone should know that I had run ins with two local celebrities this week... Carole Mikita and Provo's very own B Money$ Be jealous!

The JKB

The JKB also known as the Jesse Knight Building, seems to be the place where reviews for all of my classes are held, but there is just one problem… the rooms are impossible to find! There are so many staircases and ramps that leave you wondering what floor you’ve actually been led to. It is BYU’s very own labyrinth. I can’t help but look like an idiot in this building; walking in what I think is the right direction only to turn around mid stride and realize I’m headed the wrong way. So naturally I avoid this building, and the embarrassment it brings me, at all costs. You should too if you know what’s good for you.
