Let's All Remember...

The reason why we celebrate Christmas. He has done SO much for us, and usually we take it for granted. Of course, as little kids, all we can think about when we think of the word "Christmas" is the word "presents" or the phrase "I wonder what I'll get this year". What my family likes to do to implement the importance of Christ on this special holiday is to read the story of the Savior's birth, which can be found in Luke 2.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, and I hope you have a happy (and safe) New Years celebration. I know I will :D

Have a good day!

I [Have] Survive[d]!!!



Imagine this song...except in past tense. I SURVIVED FINALS WEEK!! I got a C- on my American Literature final, a B on my Book of Mormon final, and a D+ on my Science final (which is WAY better than failing)! I was so happy I did well on my finals!

In other news, I decided to come down to Utah this weekend instead of next week. I'm so excited to surprise my family and to see them.

I'm excited to live in Hogwarts and share Narnia and house a boggart with Nanc^ in our room next semester :D its going to be EPIC!!!

I'm in a happy-go-lucky mood right now :D

Have a good day!!

So Many Movies...and Other Things I Want to Talk About :)

My roommates and I have watched so many movies in the past week and a half, its insane! Here's the official list:
  • Eclipse
  • New Moon
  • The Wedding Planner
  • A Walk to Remember
  • 17 Again
  • She's the Man
  • Baby Mama
  • The Grinch
  • Charly
  • Pride and Prejudice
  • Gabriel Iglesias' DVD Special
  • Holes
  • Penelope
  • Maid of Honor
  • 27 Dresses
  • The Blind Side

Grand total (so far): 16

In other news, I took my first final yesterday. I'm anxiously awaiting to find out my score. I think I got at least a C, maybe a C-.

Our FHE brothers (we actually don't know if its them, but we heard our FHE sister who likes to hang out with our FHE brothers all the time, so we're guessing its them) put a 5-ft wall of snow in front of our door. Thanks, guys. Best Christmas present ever (sarcasm hand).

If any of you haven't heard of it, go check out http://www.deargirlsaboveme.com/. Its hilarious! Be warned, there's some interesting choice of words on that site. But its still funny.

I turned in three applications yesterday, as a last attempt at trying to get a job. I turned in applications at Arctic Circle, Dairy Queen, and Craigo's. Craigo's is hiring in the next couple of weeks, so here's to hoping I get a job there!

I have two more finals tomorrow (bleh) and I have to take a picture of myself (hopefully with the help of someone) today for my family's Christmas card (they were rude and decided to not include me in it. Ya'll could have taken it at Thanksgiving, you know...).

Anyway. Lots going on in the next few days. On Thursday my roommate is moving her stuff out (YES!!!) and my new roommate Nanc^ is moving her stuff in on either Thursday or Friday! I'm so excited to be her roommate! Then on Friday, I'm going to the BYU-IC and MC dedication services. President Henry B. Eyring and Elder David A. Bednar will be there. So cool!

After that, I will have the entire apartment to myself, as everyone is leaving for the holidays and I'm staying here an extra week to try to get a job (which is going to be really hard without anyone to drive me around, but I'll manage. I need to "work out"), and then taking the Salt Lake Express down to Utah for Christmas/the semester.

I really hope I get a job up here! I desperately need one so I can stay and be roommates with Nancy.

Have a great day!

WOO!!!




None of Nancy (or Trevor)'s family is on here (mainly cuz I don't know any of them), so this gives me free reign to congratulate them on their engagement tonight :D the engagement would be the "super secret surprise" that I said in my earlier post that I never thought I would have to plan in my first semester of college.


I helped Trevor pick out the ring on Wednesday before he asked her parents "for her hand" (not exactly smart in my opinion, but whatever). Isn't it so pretty? :D


I wish them all the happiness in life, and can't wait for July!! Congrats Nancy and Trevor!!!
