..I Said Yes!

The Story that some have been anxiously waiting to hear.

About two or three weeks ago Trevor took me to this cute little family owned jewelry store. His dad had been going there for years, and I can tell why. They are the nicest, real, happy sales people I know. We looked for a good amount of time, and I picked out three rings that I would love to have. There was one that shined (literally) another the rest. I fell in love with it instantly. It was a little more expensive, so I was glad that I fell in love with another one too. I left the choice up to Trevor, and was going to let him decide.
A week ago, Trevor and his twin made a trip to the same jeweler again. He came home with a little white paper in his pocket, and I was not allowed to look at it. He showed me half of it, and that's when I knew it was from the jeweler. I wasn't sure if he had bought it yet so I just played it cool!
He told me that they will take until after Christmas to finish the ring, if had even bought one. I believed him. I didn't think anything of it, until I was talking to his sister about it and she said that he is telling you its not this weekend because maybe it is this weekend! That got me nervous, but still didn't want to get my hopes up. (I always tend to play into things way to much, so i didn't want to do it this time)
Christmas eve morning he had to go pick up a Nativity scene for his dad. So I met up with him later to watch a Bronco's football game.
Christmas came around, and he suggested that we should open up gifts later that night that way we can do it alone when everything calms down. I had a feeling it was going to happen, but didn't want to get my hopes up. We had dinner, and hung around for a bit, and then finally other guest left. His mom left the room, Nikki (his sister) asked Tyler and Kenz to go downstairs to watch a movie.
We went into the living room where the Christmas tree was shining, and I asked who wanted to go first. Trevor volunteered to open his gifts from me first. I gave him a Utah Jazz hat, sweatshirt, and tickets to the Spurs game. He then gave me the box that had a purse in it. I was expecting boots so I asked him where they were. He said, "I couldn't quite get them this year." He then reached around his back and showed me a small box wrapped with a pretty bow on top. He gave it to me, and started to freak out a bit. I couldn't open it. I told him that he was freaking me out!! Inside that box was another box. He then grabbed it, went down on one knee, said some really nice things. (sounded like he kinda choked up a bit, or it was just the nerves) He then asked me to marry him. I of course said yes. I have never shaked so much in life. I hugged him, and didn't want to let go. We kissed, and I held back tears. We then went to go show everyone in Trevor's family.
They were waiting on the stairs, and his mom burst out of her room camera in hand. Nikki, Tyler, and Kenzie came running upstairs. I got some really big hugs. We took pictures, sat and talked. We then decided to go show my parents. I almost started crying when Nikki said we were going to be sisters-in-law.
We drove up to my parents house. My sister was still there, and my Aunt and Uncle were there too. Everyone screamed, and gave me hugs. My mom was really excited!!
That night while I was praying to my Heavenly Father is when I finally cried. I was just so thankful for everything. Then I felt that my mom was in my room, telling me how proud she is of me, and that she approves of Trevor. (she also was ooing and awing over my ring)
The next morning is when it finally sank in that I was getting married. I cried again.
I was so grateful that everyone was in town for it. My whole family, and Trevor's whole family. I feel so lucky to have found such a fantastic guy. I am grateful that we get to be sealed together in the temple, and live together for eternity. That means an Eternity of him tickling me feet :)
I can't wait to start this next journey in my life!!
I LOVE YOU TREVOR!!

Happiness.

Hello Again.
I may go into the Rest of Trevor and I's story later. Basically, we kissed. I felt his heart racing. We said Eu Te amo in his back yard for the first time. That's actually a funny story, and kinda cute :) We stayed up late, just talking about each other. During one of those talks I got the nickname, Goofball. Some how it stuck.

Trevor was the nicest person I had ever met. I was getting a cold, and I told him that the only cold medicine was in my parents bathroom, but they were already asleep. So, he went down to Walmart and got me some NyQuil. He really would do anything for me. He is a Teddy Bear :) ha ha another funny story right there!

What I loved most is that I could be myself. I didn't have to hide the "goofy" side of me. Trevor makes me laugh, and happy. He knows how to push my buttons, but knows how to make me feel better. Its just comfortable. I was once freaking out about school, and classes. He could tell. He looked at me, and said, "steph, Get over here" We then just cuddled for a couple minutes. That was all I needed. he is awesome!

This post is getting a little mushy gushy for the Internet! So, All I gotta say is, I am HAPPY I found Trevor! Things are going GREAT!! 

Trevor and I at his Birthday Dinner!

As for me,
A week from today I will be done with school!! Due to a few things I will be taking a break next semester. I was officially promoted to being the Associate Manager at Famous Footwear with a tiny raise :) I will be working lots, and saving! Life is great. I just need to call to set up an appointment to get my Patriarchal blessing.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
BYE!

The First Week

The first week was full of just getting to know each other and enjoying each other's company.

On Monday, I went to Trevor's family home evening he was in charge of. It was some guy that played the piano. I tried to strategically place myself so that I would have a spot for Trevor right next to me. Well, I ended up in the middle, but I did have a seat next to me. As it was starting Trevor sat by me. I am pretty sure I tried to hide a huge smile. The piano man was great. We had ice cream for the refreshment. Trevor had recently gone to the dentist so his whole mouth was numb so he left early. I was kinda bummed just because I wanted to hang out that night.

On Tuesday, I had been texting Trevor all day. I was sitting on my couch watching TV just hoping he would invite me to do something. I kept saying how I was bored. I then hinted, "I wish that someone was doing something tonight!" Trevor is a smart one, so he invited me to go and get ice cream. We decided to just go to Harmon's and then go back to his house to watch a movie. I successfully made it down the stairs to his basement. We sat and ate our cookie dough ice cream. I sat incredible close to him, as we watched Dumb and Dumber. I was just hoping for him to put his arm around me! I thought I gave him all the right clues to go for it, but he didn't catch them. I also thought about just making the  first move to, but I was way too scared. Long story short I went home without cuddling!

On Wednesday, We planned a basketball game. It was Trevor, Tyler, Spencer, Me, and a few other people. I can't quite remember who all was there. It was fun. We played for quite sometime. Afterward, I went home and told Spencer how much I wanted to go and cuddle with Trevor. He told me that any guy would be crazy if he said no to cuddling. So, I being a professional at hinting I texted Trevor, "When I get really tired I like to cuddle." I don't know exactly what smooth thing Trevor said next, but he soon was at my house to pick me up, and we were going down to his house. When we arrived his Tyler and Drew had romantic music playing, and candles. It was a well played move, and I found it quite funny. We through the candles at Drew, and picked out a movie. I don't remember much of this night just because I was so happy that Trevor had his are around me. The movie ended, and we just sat and talked. It was late so I needed to go home. It ended with a hug. Just a hug.
I am not sure how it all played out, but it came out that Trevor wanted to kiss me, but he didn't. I told him that I wanted to too. So, I was pretty sure that the next time I saw him it was going to happen. I knew that it was going to be his first kiss. (he didn't know that I knew that! Thank You Tyler) I knew that I may just have to take the lead in this one, which made me very nervous. It was all very exciting.

Alrighty, I am off to St. George tomorrow so you all will have to wait for the next part!!
Enjoy Conference, and I will enjoy the hot St. George sun and pool.
:)

Half glass full!

We will take a short break from my love story to just write! Enjoy!

I don't know what is going on lately, but I have found myself being a Negative Nancy! I don't see Trevor as much. I hate homework. I am not pretty enough. I am not skinny enough. All those fun thoughts that Satan tend to put into out mind. Well, you know what I say to that, "I HAVE HAD ENOUGH" time to be positive. So I have composed a list of what is keeping me going. Why I am so lucky, and what makes me happy!!! (some more serious than others!)

#1 I am currently eating these...

AKA. Bliss



#2 I just bought these. I love them

#3 I look fantastic with curled hair!!

#4 I have an awesome job. I get paid pretty good, and enjoy what I do. Shoe love is True love!

#5 Trevor's Smile and hugs. They make me feel better, almost instantly!

Everyone should be jealous!

#6 Last night, I remember laughing with Trevor cause I said something dorky. I like when we laugh together.

#7 I may have just passed my first Physics test. I now know why to run into a pile of hay when my cars breaks stop working!!



#8 I get to see Trevor tonight.

#9 I have an awesome family. Speaking of which, I miss my sister!!! I have not seen her in ages!! LOVE YOU!

#10 I love the moment, as you are driving home and you realize, "man, I got it good!"

So, life may be rough. I may be hard to deal with. I may not like what I have to deal with, but heck I have quite the life! I am back to a positive state! WIPEEE!

Everyone have an Awesome day! 

Movie Night!

Then next day at church, for some reason, church became that more exciting. Trevor was going to be there, and I was very excited to see him! I patiently waited during relief society as my stomach had the butterflies. I walked to the class that I hoped Trevor was in. Spencer my brother was sitting by the Well's brothers so I sat by Spencer. We chatted a bit, and then went to Sacrament. We also sat by them there too. I secretly didn't want to leave church.
That evening Marci and I went for a walk around Victor's Pond. I was texting Trevor the whole time. I really wanted to invite him to come with us, but I was too scared. I then got a text from Courtney Lee in the ward that they were watching Pirates of the Caribbean at someones house. I immediately invited Trevor, and he agreed. Marci and I walked home. Trevor had agreed to come, and pick us up. I mapquested the address, and we were off.
I told Trevor that we needed to go to 9400 S. As we were driving on 94th, I realized we were lost. I called Courtney, and this is how the conversation went.
Steph: Hey how do we get there?
Courtney: Well, where are you?
S: Say we are at my house!
(laughter from everyone in the car)
C: okay, well go to 12300 S.
S: okay... (laughter)
Steph to Trevor: We need to go to 12300 S.
T: Really?
S: Okay Courtney, we are at 94th so I will call you when we get to 123rd.
C is really confused at this point! : Okay
I busted out laughing. Slightly embarrassed that I put the city Sandy in the Mapquest rather than Draper. We all we laughing.
I called Courtney back, and we were able to get to the apartment complex just smoothly. Only other stumble that may have happened was me tripping in the doorway as we entered the apartment!!
Trevor and I sat on the floor next to each other. I don't remember watching the movie at all. We just sat, and got to know each other. He made me laugh, and this is when I knew that I was really starting to like this kid!!

Well, I got to go to class!!!
Stay tuned for the first time we cuddled, and the most amazing first kiss EVER :)

The First Date

The original date was suppose to be with Trevor and I, then Katelin and Tyler. Then Katelin no longer could go so it was going to just be Trevor and I. Tyler couldn't find a date, so just Trevor and I planned on going go-carting and dinner on that Saturday.  Then Tyler decided to run his head into Robyn Abrahamson's knee which caused some brain damaged. That night Kenzie scratched Tyler's head, and in the words of Tyler, he was "sold." So, Tyler got the guts to ask Kenzie out. Then there was four again.
Instead of go-carting we ended up going to a ward BBQ, then figure something out afterward.
I showed up with my brother Spencer who left shortly. I was extremely nervous. What do I say? How much of a goofball should I be on a first date? I soon just let everything go, and decided to not worry and have some fun.
The BBQ was a lot of fun. There was a group of hilarious people sitting at our table. We ate hamburgers and just laughed. We decided to leave, and start the next adventure. Kenzie had an awesome idea to go hiking. I needed to change shoes, so Trevor drove me up to my house. I was happy that we could talk the whole time without any awkward silence. I ran inside grabbed my shoes, and jumped back into the car to meet Tyler and Kenzie at the Well's home. On the short ride there I told him about the story of my concussion. He thought it was pretty funny, and I explained how clumsy I was.
We got to his house. I followed Trevor as we walked through his garage, and down the stairs to his basement. For some reason I missed the last step, rolled my ankle, and fell really hard on the ground. Trevor turned around in shock, and I began to laugh. Trevor wasn't quite sure how to react. He asked if I was alright, and when he saw that I was laughing that gave him the green light to laugh as well. I was really embarrassed. Only I, Stephanie Stohel, would roll her ankle, fall down the stairs on a first date!


View from South Mountain. Photo from the Web



It was dark by this time, we grabbed a flash light and headed out. Kenzie knew of this great waterfall we could hike to by south mountain. We wondered around. Walked through some bushes. Heard some running water, but never found a waterfall. (to this day, still not sure if there really is one up there) We walked up a huge hill, and the valley looked amazing. After a few seconds we decided to head back to the car. After trudging through more unmarked paths we made it back safely. I sat in the car, my ankle throbbing, but I put on my tough face and continued the date.

This is where the date got quite random. We first went to the Daybreak lake. Wondered around until the cop on the bike told us that we should leave. Drove back to Draper to get shakes at in and out burger. Drove up by the mountains to a school where there is a creepy janitor, then last but  not least drove past Paul Millsap's home. At this point it was late, we were all tired so we called it a night.

Trevor walked me to the door, I got one of his amazing hugs and I walked inside.

I then sat and debated when I should text him to tell him that I had an awesome time. As that thought crossed my mind the phone buzzed, and I got a text from Trevor. It said something like, "Hey, I had a great time tonight we should do it again sometime." Pretty sure I did a happy dance, and replied with a big time yes! He said he owed me dinner and go-carting. I couldn't say no, so we planned the second Date...

to be continued...

In Honor...

..of Katelin Cook who is also telling the story of how her and her "boy" met, I too want to put it into writing. It is a great idea. Because if things work out (which I am hoping they will) we can share with our cute children all about our story!

It all began with me deciding to go to the singles ward. I started hanging out with Katelin Cook who at this time was being courted by Tyler Wells. Katelin just wanted to be friends, so long story short things didn't work out between them, but no worries better things are coming for the both of them. Any who, Katelin told me a little about the Wells family while this was going on sometime in March. I was sorta Dating a kid, whose name we will not mention. He wasn't the best, but that is another story for another time.
I found out that Tyler had a twin. I remember it like it was yesterday... April's Ward Prayer. I was still dating the boy whose name we will not mention, but I couldn't"t keep myself from looking at his twin. (At this point I couldn't"t remember his name) He was sitting next to Tyler, and wearing a striped shirt, and his Boston Red Sox cap. I knew at this point that some how I was going to get to know this kid.
I am pretty sure I went home and Facebook stalked him almost everyday. Trying to figure out if he had a girlfriend or not. That is creepy, but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do!! At least by doing this I found out that his name was Trevor.
At the end of April, I made a decision to leave the boy who I was dating. I wanted to get out of the ridiculous relationship, and also start dating new people.
One night, I went to FHE, all dolled up. They were making sugar cube temples, and Trevor was there. I cracked jokes when he was around, and smiled.. a lot. I remember I was just about to go up to him, and tell him that he did a good job at planning the FHE. I was too afraid. After that FHE, a group of people went up to Katelin's house. I tried to convince her to invite Tyler Wells, that way Trevor would come too. I guess they were busy because they both didn't show. That night Katelin told me how nice Trevor was.
I believe I was baking cookies one Sunday when I decided to do a little investigation.  I text Katelin and asked, "Does Trevor have a girlie?" She responded almost instantly with, "Nope" I was pretty happy about this new found knowledge. I then got another text saying something along the lines of, "If Trevor can, wanna come Four wheeling with Tyler and I." I kinda freaked out, but agreed. I now felt awkward, but extremely excited. I didn't want Trevor to know that I thought he was cute. I become more shy when around boys I like. I didn't want to ruin things!
A week or so later, a girls night turned into just a movie night. A bunch of people came to my house encluding Trevor, to watch a movie outside. I was super nervous, and pretty sure I barely even talked to him. That night Tyler, and I became friends on Facebook. We would chat about Trevor, and Katelin. At some point Tyler gave Trevor my number so that we could get to know eachother before our date on Saturday. We texted a little here and there.
One night Spencer (my brother) came home, and told me that he talked to Trevor at the basketball game. That just about killed me. I promptly asked him what he told him. The conversation went like this.
Spencer: I hear you are taking my lil sis on a date
Matt Terry: Your going out with Stephanie?
Trevor: Yep
Spencer: If you break her heart, I will break your legs.
Don't you love older brothers.

To be continued...

Summer is coming to an end, school starts in three weeks!!! AHH!!! say goodbye to Me! I am going to be working full time as the Associate Manager at Famous Footwear. Also for about 6 weeks I will be running the store!! The store manager will be gone, and I get to run the place! I am excited.. also freaking out!
I will also be taking 9 credits at Salt Lake Community College! I was doing 15 until I realized that I only needed 9 to get my associates degree, and that I was working full time as well. So YES i will be getting my Associates Degree by December!! I am one excited girl!!
This summer has been great! A summer of first! I have (somewhat) conquered my fear of roller coasters. Spent a weekend in St. george, gone jet skiing, four wheeling, and have taken a ride on a razor. It has been a blast! (thanks to Trevor of course) I dare say one of the best summer I have had to date. Lovin every minute. I should have taken pictures!!! Silly me!
Well, I best get going.. I am now going boating!! Livin' the life!!
And, i would also like to make a shout out to my family. Love them to death. Sunday night game nights are the highlight of my week! (pretty sure Trevor looks forward to them too) Spoons anyone?

Ain't He Cute???

So, I have met a great guy. He doesn't know I have a blog (or at least I haven't told him I have one) Do you know what this means? I get to talk about him all I want, and he will never know!!! Unless he google's me.
We went Four Wheeling today.

Zach says he looks like an old man in this picture. He is only 22 I promise. I think we are kinda cute :)

It was SOOOO much fun!!!! First time four wheeling was a success if you ask me!!!

Peace & Love

Funny Grandma

This is the funny thing that happened last night.
My dad and I were sitting in the living room at around nine o'clock at night. I was on the computer, and my dad was watching TV. Out walks my grandma..
Me: What are you doing with your pillow and blanket?
G: I just wanted to come sit out here.
Me: Okay..
G: Oh is it only nine at night?
Dad: Yes mom
G: oh, I thought it was the morning.
Dad and I continued to laugh as grandma went back to her room.
Up walks michael and shows my dad his booklet that has his blood pressure numbers. Out walks grandma
G: MICHAEL YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO BE AT WORK!
Dad: Mom, it is still night time!
My grandma then hits herself in the forhead and lowers her head.
Me: Grandma it sounds like you need to go back to bed!
G: I have been a sleep for a very long time!!
I laugh for quite sometime as my grandma goes back to bed.

ha ha sooooooo funny!!!
Then this morning my grandma walks out and says.."it's morning right?"
Me: yes yes it is!

I smile when i am sad.. I smile when I am mad.. I smile when I am scared Etc..

Hold on to your horses because this post is going to be a venting one.
Let me just clue everyone in on how Stephanie works. She doesn't like to ask for help. She doesn't like to disappoint. She laughs to hide tears. She tries to go with the flow. When she is upset don't give her a hug. She tries to be positive. She sees the good in everyone, and continuously gives them chances. Stay away from her during that time of month. She is stubborn. 
It is ridiculous, but it is who I am.
I actually have surprised a few people when I tell them all of my worries. One of my friends said, "whoa Steph, I had no clue you had self esteem issues!" First off what girl doesn't? I just hide things well I guess. Why walk around worrying, and being so down. Life is to be lived. If you make mistakes then that's when you need to learn from them right?
This whole conversation is coming up because someone close to me said that, "I am TOO much Happy go Lucky" It kinda hit a nerve. I had a friend once said that, "I don't understand, because I have such a perfect life!" ugh..That made me really mad! People don't know that I sometimes cry. People don't know that I worry way too much. But these people don't know these  things because I do it alone. My best friend left on a mission, and he was the one that I worried with and cried with. No one else.
Well, now that that is out. I want to change. I want to let people in. I want to ask for help. Crying is very healthy. I need to turn to the lord to answer question. This life is not meant to be handled by yourself. I just ask for people to be patient. I am a lot more sensitive then I look. I pretend to be tough. I'm not.

On a lighter note...
Some positive things about Stephanie..
She is caring, loving, funny, amazing eyes, cute smile, forgiving, she makes friends easily, fun, lights up a room, throws a killer party, random, spontaneous, and a whole lot more.
Thanks for letting me vent.
It's been great!!
Adios

SLOW DOWN!!!!

Dear Life,
Please just freeze!!
You are speeding by too fast that I can't decide what my next move is.. it just kinda happens! ha ha
Maybe its just I need to slow down? take a moment and breathe! Well.. i guess i will go buy a plane ticket to Hawaii so I can have a week of laying on a beach.
I work 40 hours a week!!! ouchie! I never realized how much 40 is until now! It's a lot! I wake up at 5:45 Am almost every day, and that is tough! It helps that the pay checks are nice, but I am afraid that I am going to get bored.. pretty fast.
I am going to school... nothing much to say here except.. I am glad that in two weeks I AM DONE!!!!
I am sorta kinda dating a boy. Okay we are dating, but its just complicated. He actually is a sweetheart! and to my family: i hope to bring him by sometime soon! It will happen when it happens. No worries we are just starting off, we haven't even talked about the future of our relationship. Basically we just eat ice cream, and laugh... kiss.. cuddle.. all of that early relationship crap!
Oh.. and i really need a vacation!!!!!!!
Maybe St. geezy sometime soon :)
Oh and I am now 20!!!!
That is the latest catch up for now!!!

Here is the new do!

Cute and SASSY!

GOOD NIGHT!

Funny Moment by Stephanie #2,347,341

Ha ha so do you ever just get done doing something, and then think about what you did and laugh. Well, this happens to me quite often.
Today, at work, I told a lady that i would call her back so that we could get her information set up to order her some contacts. I told her i would call sometime after 3. I was in a training session until 330 so i called her right after that. Well, she didn't pick up. So i left a message. It went something like this...

"Hey zoya, this is stephanie from 1800 contacts and i was just calling you back to set up the order. Well, if you could call us back at 1800 contacts that would be great. We then can send those contacts out to you. Thanks"

Okay really "call us back at 1800 contacts"?? I am an idiot. ha ha i laughed all the way home because frankly i can admit how awkward that probably sounded. funny.

Have a good day!!

I am in love...

...with my new JOB!!!!
Ha ha did I trick anyone?? I haven't quite gotten to that status with the current boy. :) ha ha

So.. it's true. i got the job. me, stephanie stohel, out of about 1,000 applications, I was narrowed down to 16. yes, i am that cool.
Well, I am not here to brag (maybe just a tad) so i will continue about what the past two days have been like.

12:45- PM Meet at training center, but then we went up to the call center. We then listend for an hour on another agents calls. It was fun. I can't wait to not be the "new kid." for some reason I just don't like the feeling of being not up to par.. weird? First day we met with our team and managers. My team is #1 in the center. BIG shoes to fill. My manager is sooo funny. I am excited about it.
2:00 PM Fifteen minute break. I went and got FREE juice. Then went to the bathroom. While at the bathroom, I walked in on a girl in my training class. In complete shock, i actually sat there for a second with out closing. I now feel like a creep. She was like, "oh sorry." and i said, "no, i am sorry!" (while the door was still open) Then I told her that we had bonded. i heard no laugh...

"Hittin on dudes... Hard"

So.. Justine and I are dancing fools, and last night we put it to the test.
We had to go down to Provo because the SLC Studio 600 was..well.. Sketchy.
Well, you have to understand that when Justine and I go out we are silly. It's just us two. We dance how we want, and get a lot of people to stare in amazement of our awesomeness. We actually had quite a few group of guys that attempt to dance with us. Or you get that one brave soul that comes up, and we just stare at him like he is crazy. People just try so hard to be as cool as us. ha ha
It was a great time!! I love going out with my girl. It is always a good time!!!

We look fresh!

What's New?

Hello,
It's me again. After a few weeks of ups and downs I feel like life is at a constant rate of "GREAT"
Do I officially know what I am doing? Nope.
Do I know where life is taking me? Nope.
Do I have super long eyelashes? Nope.
Am I having fun? YES.
Am I happy? YES YES.
Am I dating new people? Yep.
Do I still enjoy Cafe Rio? You Betch ya!
Do I have a new calling? Yeparoohoo.
Is there a possibility I am getting a new job? Yes
So as you can see I am doing good!!!
mmm..

Holy SMOKES!

I got a gym membership to 24 Hour Fitness. I have had it since tuesday, and i have gone EVERYDAY!!! Now i know that is only 3 times, but that is 3 days in a row! it is very impressive! i figure if i am spending 30 dollars a month i might as well go everyday to make it worth it whether i go at 11:00 at night or in the morning! (i was very tired after that late night workout)
Anywho.. the best part is that while running today i ran almost a full MILE without stopping! Now, all of you runners out there probably aren't impressed. If i told you that i haven't ran in a LONG LONG LONG LONG time would that make a difference?
Well.. whether you are impressed or not! I am!! oh boy am i tired!!

Uh... Did I Just Pick That?

When I tell people that I hardly ever get embarrasses that just laugh. Okay.. except for the occasional rolling of the ankle, or a toot in the middle of class (hasn't happened yet but i am sure it will cause my cheeks to go red) I hardly get embarrasses.
Such as today...
I was getting out of my car.. and there it was a WEDGIE!!! hate them.
Anywho.. i decided that no one was around so i could pull it :) I positioned myself so that the backside was facing my car, and i pulled. Success.
As i turned around.. there was a girl in the car kitty corner to me.
Did she see?
oh well.. who cares! I just walked away with my head held high!!
Had it been a cute boy.. maybe i would have cared a tad bit more.
Now that i am done.. telling this story i am not sure why i shared it on the web, but it is kinda funny right?
goodnight!
and safe pickin's :)
ps. don't type wedgie into Google images.. interesting things come up!

Esthetics?

So, I have been thinking about what I want to be when I "grow up" and is considering Esthetics. I could be done in less than a year, and then make up to 60,000 a year.
I just need to come up with 15,000 dollars! Student loan? that would mean I would be 18,000 dollars in debt, but is it worth it?
So basically for a living i would work in a spa or doctors office helping people with hair, and skin. Another plus.. i need "models" so that i can practice!! (that would be you friends out there)
I am thinking about Elase Academy. It is about 5 minutes away from my house. I could go to school from 9 to 3 and then work at night. This is feeling pretty good!! Also, 98% of their students pass the state test, and 86% end up finding jobs.
Yes, No?
hmm... what do you guys think?
Time to fast and pray, i guess!!
cya!

whoa nelly..

Okay i really can't stop laughing.. it's pathetic really, but i need to share :)
I work at Famous Footwear (as most of you know) and as people leave and didn't get anything i like to say "hey, thanks for dropping by:" or "thanks for coming in"
Well, tonight, as i was working at the Jordan Landing location, I told this lady, "thanks for dropping by!" She then turned around gave me a disgusted look... then looked away, thought for a second and then turned back and said, "GET BETTER SHOES!" she then proceeded to walk out the door.
I wish i had a camera so I could have seen my face..

Had i taken a picture this is what it would have looked like

I walked to the sales associate and said, "welp, that was a first!" and i continued to laugh until i got home..
who does this lady think she is... Okay ma'am i will call the CEO right now and let them know that we need to carry better shoes. Thank you dearest lady with a weird jacket.. you made my day!! (and i am serious, she really did make my day.. so funny)

So this is what it feels like...

I have been givin a Dear Jane...
If that is even possible...
Jeron was feeling distracted, prayed to get focused... and the answer was sketch me out.
Ouch...
I feel like a jerk.. should i?
I was distracting him... i was trying so hard not to..
Trust the lord right?
If you ask me how i am doing.. i will reply.. I have not a clue...it is weird..
i am going to go clean, do homework, and try not to eat a gallon of ice cream.

..i miss him..

My Best Friend!!

I want to go hiking again!

It has been SIX WHOLE MONTHS!!! it is insane... it is kinda scary not knowing what is going to happen, but i guess that is what faith is for.

He recently was transfered, to a new area where he has to start fresh. I guess it has been a while since there has been missionaries in that area. So he is contacting ALL day long. He is super busy (which is super good) I am proud of him.

He is so strong.. not getting discouraged and such.

He is awesome!

Anywho.. enough bragging... how are you all?

Here is the quote of the day: "Obedience-That which god will never take by force-He will accept freely given, and he will then return to you freedom that you can hardly dream of-the freedom to feel and to know, the freedom to do, and the freedom to be at least a thousand fold more than we offer him. Strangely enough the key to freedom is obedience." -Boyd K. Packer

Its funny to think that so many people (my older brothers) think living the gospel is going to hold them back... not true.

the end.

Poor Me...

Okay, I admit I have lived a full life of awesome eyesight.
My sophomore year I had a non-stop headache, so my mom decided that I should get my vision checked. I got reading glasses that i wore like five times and then stopped.
So, tonight, i opened my computer to Facebook. (which if you haven't seen the movie Social Network, I totally recommend it.. good show) I was trying to focus my eyes, and couldn't. Everything was pretty blurry.
...is it true? is my sight getting worse? NOOOOO!! I liked the whole no glasses life style.
So.. i found my reading glasses... they are helping a lot but i still feel like my eyes are blurry... time for an eye check up?

... I am sad...

This is me "blue"



Then i realized... why be sad about something so lame?

So i am Happy, And kinda cute in these glasses?

I kinda want to go and get new frames!! Maybe something like my sisters? Her's are cute!

Look how long my hair is!! YAY!!

I also like my Chin... very defined.. ha ha

Goodnight!

UPDATE :)

Well, hello there the five people that read my blog, how are you?
I am doing so good! Better than the black team on the Biggest Loser! ha ha (stop reading now if you are watching the Biggest Loser) They just gained nine pounds each!! ouchie!! They don't even care... and Bob & Jillian are mad!! Okay, enough of the tangent onto me :)
MAY START READING AGAIN HERE!!!
So, after starting my diet i have lost 15 pounds!! YAY!!! i feel so so so good!! I have another 2 1/2 weeks left of it, and i am feeling soo good! (I already said that) I have never eaten so much broccoli in my life, and actually really enjoy it!! After my diet i plan on cutting portions, and not eating sooo many carbs. I also plan on running! I really want to run a marathon one day oh how fun it would be!! It is going to be hard work and dedication. I can do it!!
Onto the next update.. Boys :)
first of.. i am going to my Communications class, because the amount of attractive boys in that class. There is one, but there is a possibility that he is gay... sketchy... maybe not... hmm... tough decision!
One, sat by me today, and we chatted. Maybe something stirring? we will see! But his name is Greg..is that wierd?
There are a few others... and they haven't quite made an impact on me yet!!
Ha ha super fun class!! I am also learning (don't worry) i am finding a lot of things very interesting (boys) nah it's about Conflict Management, i am finding that a lot of it will help me in Retail!
Okay next... uh... I can curl my hair, and do makeup in 30 minutes! (is that good)
I love watching Bones at night! i have 3 season to catch up on!
One day i hope to do a giveaway on my blog... i just want to be cool like the other bloggers!!
OH YA!!
My review on Sketcher Shape-ups!!
I wore them to work for five hours. I got home and my feet, ankles (huge accomplishment), knees, teeth, hair and back didn't hurt at all!! My legs didn't hurt... and i can't wait to start running in them!! They are suppose to increase your calorie burn by 13.5%!! Oh and also activate you leg muscles anywhere from 70 to 90%
They are super comfortable, and look awful, but I will wear them, and love them!

The end!

These are the Running ones, they cost $130, I got them for FREE!!!

New Single Ward!

Went to the New Eastridge Singles Ward today and what can i say I LOVED IT!!
Have you ever been to a meeting where EVERYTHING the speaker said related to you? No joke, i went to every class and was inspired by something. This is when you know that is right.
I went all by myself too. An accomplishment in of itself. I never do ANYTHING by myself. I felt strong and proud and excited to see what lies ahead.
Obviously a good start!
Next goal.. Get my brother Spencer to come with me! We will see..

Re-Evaluating.

(this post is for my Sister to read and help me out:))
Okay.. if i had to pick one word for myself right now it would have to be.. Indecisive.
It all began with his letter. Jeron sent me a letter explaining his 5 year plan. I just wanted to get an idea of what he wanted to do with his life.
Well.. he is leaning toward Border Patrol or a Police Officer. DANGEROUS!! that is all i can think of. I would move anywhere in the world to be with the man of my dreams but why something so dangerous? Am i suppose to raise a family where there are drug lords all over? It is dangerous... very dangerous. I have lost too many people in my life.
Now of course, i am not telling him any of this. He is doing the lords work, and i am trying to not distract him. It is just making me rethink things.
I love him. I would be soooo very happy with him. I would even move away from my family for him to make him happy.
I have decided that i need to live my life during these 1.5 years. (it has already been 6 months YAY) I can't be afraid of hurting someone else to make myself happy. If Mr. Right comes around i don't want to turn him down because i could make it with Jeron. I have lived these past 6 months afraid to flirt. Afraid that i was going to start liking someone else. I was really afraid of hurting peoples feelings. and really really afraid that i was going to hurt myself. It's life. If Jeron and I don't work out then so be it... there is something greater in store for me!
So introducing.. the NEW Stephanie Stohel. I am going to a singles ward, and going to be looking so fine. I am going to laugh and flirt. I will be cautious though. My heart is very big, and i don't want it to fall into the wrong hands. With a little of Faith and prayer i will end up where i am suppose to. I will make mistakes. I have accepted that Jeron is maturing, and i need to build myself up and learn for myself and grow before i am ready to move onto the next stage of my life.. (marriage) 
Jen what are your thoughts?
Well.. anyone.. what are your thoughts?

Stampin' Up!

Some of you know but some of you don't.. my sister is a genius. She is very good at Math and she is also super creative when it comes to Stampin' Up!. Well, through out the years i have always gone to her classes and such and never really experimented on my own. Well, here it is. My official first attempt at Stampin' Up!.
I made a Journal and also a scripture study notebook.
drum roll please.... badum dum dum

Kinda Cute, Right?

Makes me want to go and write in my Journal :)

Enjoy.

Spring 2011 at SLCC!

I am ready for school to start!!!!
I am bored..(and want to eat)..i wanted to do homework tonight, but didn't have anything to do.
So wanna hear my schedule starting on January 10th? Here it is

• Computer Essentials-online
• Conflict Management and Diversity- Tues & Thurs @ 4:00 pm
• Intro. To Early Childhood Education-online
• Intro. To Early Childhood Education Lab- Friday @ 9:00 am
• Marriage and Family Relations-online
• Elementry Physics(help me!) - online

I wasn't able to be in Drawing II.. but that is okay. These classes will keep me busy enough! I am excited to get started!! I also help my aunt out at her preschool on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursday from 9:00 am to about 3:00 pm. Then i work at Famous Footwear on Mon, Wed, Fri, nights and Saturday during the day.

After my diet, i plan on working out at 10:00 at night, or early in the morning.
If you never see me.. this is why :)

Dieting...

Dieting is never fun. Who wants to cut out sugars and oils? not me!!!
Well.. i never really had to. All through high school i was working out 3 to 4 hours a day and had to eat to keep myself going.
Now, a year and a half out of high school i have become the heavest i have been in my whole life. I don't want to be over weight anymore. (i know i am not that bad) I have always been the bigger friend and i am about to change that.
My mom has been on the HCG diet for quite sometime and is looking awesome.
So.. she asked if i wanted to do it, i said yes and here i am 3 days in and.. wanting it to be over.
I don't want to give up though. I want to prove to myself that i have self control.
HCG basically resets your metabolism. You take drops of HCG and put it under your tongue and let it absorb into your blood. HCG also breaks up the fat in your body. With a VERY VERY STRICT diet of 500 calories you lose one pound a day.
Sounds scary right? i went online and researched it, and it really is safe. HCG is a pregnancy hormone. Everyone has it in them. it is safe for men to use. My sister was worried about it affecting my infertility in the future. It won't. HCG is actually a fertility drug. A lot of women use it to get pregnant.
It's hard. I eat when i am bored... i am bored and want to snack. ugh... but i am going to do this! i am going to fit into my jeans!! i am going to have more energy!
it is going to be hard.
i can't just eat spinach for the rest of the month (YUCK)
i may be sick of apples in a week.
i am excited though.

So you may ask "what are you going to do when you are done?"
this diet is ment to kick of weight loss. give me a new start. it is kinda like a body cleanse.
I am doing this and then getting a gym membership, and make myself healthy.
I will continue to tell you all my Journey.
it should be interesting.
