I believe I have survived my own quarter-life crisis - or at least my latest one. I now have a 5 year plan. I am going to become a real estate attorney. (See happy picture of me now that I have figured out what I want to be when I grow up) In my 
head, lawyers were all trial lawyers so I always put that option out of my head. But as I was sitting in the American Fork court (for no proof of insurance when I was rear-ended), I realized my respect for the law. So, I have officially enrolled at Salt Lake Community College. I know - definately not glamorous. But I spent three years at BYU and sometimes glamour should take second stage to reality. I won't get into debt if I restart at SLCC. The end justifies the means.
The second part of the plan is to turn the basement into my own little apartment (see "before" picture below). It is being finished a little at a time, but I hope to be officially moved down in three weeks or so. Kimball: mom is calling you tomorrow to see what your schedule is for putting in a few walls :)
Let's be honest - I am going to be single for a while, so I might as well get comfortable. For some reason that I don't understand, I intimidate people. How 5'4" and 120 pounds could intimidate anyone, I don't know. Any thoughts on the subject would be greatly appreciated.

e a plan for my life, I have been anxiously engaged: Peeling wallpaper, playing Tetris with storage boxes, and reading up on The History of American Law. Plus, I believe blogs need pictures and I still have not bought a new camera. Thank you Katie for letting me borrow yours for the 500th time.Oh, and on a totally unrelated note, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you all to Jonny Lang. I have included some of his songs on my playlist below. New favorite! You may have to scroll to find all the songs. The playlist thing is acting funny. If you would like a copy of my new favorite mix CD, please let me know and I would be happy to share his awesomeness.
Love today! I look forward to your comments on my future life!

Intimidating? That is the sad state of my gender if they find a smart woman intimidating.
Of course, going back to school is the perfect remedy - especially law school. Then you'll be so smart I won't want to hang out with you anymore.
Ashley just for an update i am going to be sending out some wonder french fashion pictures. so get excited! and the only question is, where i am going to stay when i get back home!
anyway love have a good one!
I'm STILL intimidated by you!! Even after all these years and knowing you inside out...you're just smart. It's like dad-he's a bottomless pit of knowledge and I am pretty sure you got that gene. it's a little intimidating talking to someone when they know everything. And now you're going to be in law...even more smart.
PS i'm a little bitter you ripped off my pastel navaho wallpaper. It's like my whole childhood (well, part of it...) has been ripped out of my life!! Perhaps it was the bad part of childhood I don't really want to remember anyway?? In that case, no worries!
Intimidating, please! I know why people are afraid of you...it is your lack of rhythm. Obviously. Have you noticed that no one is intimated by my sweet moves that I have perfected so well (mainly the flying squirrel)?!?! But as you continue to take note of my talent, make sure that you are in a safe area with no hanging light fixtures. :) Work it out and you will no longer be feared!!
I am a little sad that you didn't follow through with the secret agent idea. I think you would have made a great secret agent!!!

**highly amusing, but avoid at all costs**
check these out for inspiration. I realize there are a lot, but if you want to be less intimidating, serious action must be taken :)
I think I am going to have to agree with Katie that it is not my intelligence that is intimidating. It takes at least five conversations with someone before you know whether or not they are smarter then the average bear. It's got to be my lack of rhythm. P.S. Everyone really should view the videos above. But picture Katie dancing to them, not me. Awesome.
false. one conversation with you and I know you're smarter than me. I'm sure many admire you from afar, and would like to become your friend or more, but are scared...just as i am. be the aggressor. Perhaps they're afraid of your newly aquired status and don't know your intentions as of yet? "Maybe she's not ready for another relationship yet", "she probably has super high expectations now and I'll never be good enough", "i've talked to her 4 times now and they say that it takes 5 times to know if you're intelligent...maybe she'll think I'm retarded if I talk to her again!" You get the picture. B-E-A-G-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-E!!

Shall we replay the experience I had when I was a-g-g-r-e-s-s-i-v-e? Dad came home and said there was someone down at BYU that I absolutely had to meet. So I called him and set up a lunch date. He was totally afraid of me after that. I think you accidentally hit the nail on the head when you used the word relationship above. I think people are so focused on the relationship aspect of a friendship that sometimes they put way too much pressure on a conversion. Just because someone says hello or you have a nice conversation about the weather, does not mean you are bound together for life... I guess there is a fine line between making yourself available and not pushing your "availableness". What do you think?
