Life Goes On
HEY! Whats happenin?! Not a whole lot is new here...just cold as usual! :) I actually had the thought last night that I want to fly home for President's Day weekend if I can find a cheap flight that fits in my budget. With everything going on right now I think I just need to get out of the BYU environment for a few days. Maybe more like the Utah environment, but its mostly the same thing. haha. We'll see though...I'm just thinkin about it at the moment. How cool would that be tho? There's nothing a little bit of family can't fix!
This weekend should be fun...a bunch of us are going to this thing on campus for my friends birthday. Its got like laser tag, a dance, food, kareoke, etc. etc. etc. She wanted to go so we're gonna hit that up for a while and then I get to come home and clean my butt off for cleaning checks! YAYUH! I do like to clean, especially our apartment cuz it gets so nasty. BLEH. Anyway, Saturday morning we have a VT workshop that we're putting on and then I think I'm going with my roommate to go wedding dress shopping. I'm quite the pro and I know where all the good places are, so it should be quite productive! :) Later on, I'm volunteering at the TRC in the MTC to be an investigator for the missionaries there and then my friend and I are goin out to dinner for each others birthdays. YAYUH! I always love a good girls night out.
If anyone sees syd today, make sure to give her a big hug from me for her birthday! I sure miss all of yall and I hope I get to see you soon! XOXOXO

Going to school in Narnia?
Alright, alright, alright. First off, I want to apologize to Adrienne for not giving her enough stuff to do while she's at work. I promise I'll try to be better at updating! :) So these last two weeks have been INSANE. I'll do my best to catch yall up in an orderly fashion!
Okay, so first off, Trevor and I broke up...its been just about the hardest thing EVER. It just didn't feel right so we thought that it would be for the better and I tell you what...breaking up with someone you still have feelings for, sucks. Especially when its the same on the other side of it too. haha. BLEH. Good thing for self-control...i guess. hahaha. We have what we call "weak moment" days and well, they stink real bad. THey mostly occur on Wednesdays cuz we have a class together, so if you ever feel the need to call me and give me a boost of encouragement, I welcome the move. haha.
It has been soooo incredibly cold here. Like feeling like negative 13 one day. NOt even joking. I swear, my ears and tip of my nose got frost bite or something. EW. Its been horrible. Like going to school in Narnia before the return of Aslan! BLEH...it would explain why I dont always go to class, but I really need to be better about that. haha.
Anyway, my birthday was Tuesday which was fun. Although, I definitely didnt do any homework pretty much all week and I'm way behind. Good thing for three day weekends! I plan on catching up, although that hasn't happened so far! OOPS! :) we had some people over for cake and ice cream which was fun and just sat around and talked n stuff. We saw that the auditions for 'So you think you can dance' are coming to SLC in February and my roommates all want me to try out. I do too...I know I wouldn't probably make it very far, but I think it would be a cool experience. If I did it tho, that would mean that I would have to skip more class and work and I've already skipped three classes! *blushes* haha. We'll see...I have a couple of weeks to think about it.
Thursday night was...nice. haha. I was out running some errands when my phone combusted. It was pretty funny. I don't think that I can even describe in words what it was doing, but long story short, I had to end up buying a new phone. I also took my car in to the shop yesterday to get some stuff fixed too, so its been funny. ANyway, I really need to get in the shower so I can get started on my homework n stuff. Love you guys and miss yall tons! XOXOX

The Joy of Musicals
Happy Sunday! Today was yet another good, relaxing Sunday. I got to see a bunch of my old leaders and friends at church which was awesome and well, you know, going to church is always good too! I got to take a small nap (even though i couldn't get to sleep), but it was definitely nice just to lay there for a while. Meredith and Syd came over for dinner which was fun and I got to go see Stephanie's wedding dress which is always fun! But here's the topper. I was downstairs watching the football game with my Grammy and we were just kinda flippin around to see what else was happenin on the TV scene and what did I find? THE SOUND OF MUSIC! Only the most amazing musical of all time. Now, anyone that knows me or my family at all, knows that we go way back with this movie. My dad walked in to my Grammy and me singing the songs and bouncing a little on the couch and the best part is that he just walked in like nothing was different or out of place. Rightfully so though, we do that sort of thing all the time. But really...you just cant be in a bad mood after you've watched that movie. Its just way too good. My favorite line from that movie has got to be, "Reverend Mother...I have sinned." BWAHAHAHAHA those nuns...you'd better watch out for them. Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky! I'd like to think that if I were ever a nun, I would be that cool. :)
So I've decided that my new favorite TV show is going to be Dance Wars: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann. Well, aside from Smallville of course. It doesnt start until January, but hey...that's definitely close and it looks like something that I'm gonna make sure that I watch every week. And that I'll probably wish that I tried out for. hahaha. One day, I'll try out for something like that just so I can say that I did it and not wish that I did. Sound good? Good. Anyway, I'm gonna go play with Puden now, so I'll catch y'all later. Happy early New Years Eve!

Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night!!!
Alright, Halla...this is for you! I want you to be able to have things to read whilst you're at work, so I'll try my hardest to update regularly. P.S. I miss you bad. We didn't get to play mario party or mario kart together and I gotta say, I'm pretty bummed about it. Yawning with you during the hymns in relief society just isn't enough Halla time to fill my quota! haha. Anyway, HAPPY CHRISTMAS Y'ALL! I hope everyone's was as awesome as mine was. I love being home with the family! We had so many people over today so it was pretty loud and crazy, but still way fun. I didn't even have to open a lot of my presents this year which was pretty funny. Syd was definitely the present helper this year! :) I felt kind of like one of those really rich Queens or something when people just brought stuff for you. I would write down who gave me what so I could write out my thank you cards later, and I would look up and Syd was workin on my next one. It was the quickest system I've ever experienced! haha
So the breakdown of Christmas goes as follows:
I woke up and had some breakfast and all that, we took family pictures and opened presents once Ben, Meredith and Syd came over and then Puden and I got to watch Harry potter on HD...it was A freakin mazing! I just love that movie. I think my favorite present that I got this year is my "I Love Auntie" calendar of Sydney pictures. I'm so excited to flaunt it in my room! :) Once we had all the yummy food, I made the mistake of going outside where all the kids were and jumped in a pile of leaves. After that it was all over...I was attacked by all sorts of kids, leaves and other flying objects...like feet. haha. When I went to take my shower like 5 hours later, I was still finding leaves in strange places. haha. After that we played "London Bridges" for at least 30 minutes. Pretty sure I haven't played that in YEARS. It was then followed by a game of catch phrase. Ya know...I've realized that we're all too competitive for our own good. We ended up engageing in some playful bantering more than once. hahaha. Gotta love the fam! Ben said that when Sydney woke up this morning, they were like hey babe, do you want to go see if Santa came? And her reply was, and I quote, "I love Auntie." haha I've found my shadow!
Meredith, Syd and I are hittin the shops tomorrow. I'm so excited to finally have a heavy coat...well that is, if I can find one! :) I don't know if they actually sell those here, but I figure if all else fails, I can hit up some place when I get back to Provo and give it to me for my birthday. haha. I hope I'm not the only person that does that. Every year, before my birthday, I take myself out shopping and buy me something fun that I want. I think last year it was a movie which wouldn't surprise me in the least, but hey, what are you gonna do?! :)

Sunday's Musings
Holy crap! I just love Sundays. I was kind of hoping for a quiet Sunday for a change. One where I get to take a nap and just kind of relax and enjoy the slowness of the day...yeah, that DEFINITELY didn't happen. :) It was a weird day from the start. My mom came into my room before I had woken up and started talking to me, however I wasn't really conscious at the moment. Usually, she tries to wake me up before she starts talking to me, but maybe she's a little out of practice. Anyway, I go downstairs cuz she made us some oatmeal for breakfast. I showered and got ready for church as normal, but once I was almost done, my cousin whitney comes in and starts to climb all over me. I continued being a jungle gym up until we left for church where I continued to be a jungle gym for Sydney and an apparently very fun poking object for Ben, Heath and Cody. haha. good times. Today was my day that I just couldn't catch a break. lol.
I think the best part of church (aside from the Spirit n stuff) was the fact that during the Sacrament prayer, Sydney farted really big on my lap. Our whole row was just cracking up because it was insanely large in stature. I'm sure the Bishopric was thinking, "Who are these crazy visitors and why are they laughing so hard?" lol. Good times. Sydney then decided to fart while she was sitting in my hands which is always funny, right?
After church, we went home and I was then bombarded by both Sydney and Whitney to read them book upon book. Now I'm at Ben and Merediths and they just turned on Elf and I'm so excited to watch it since I haven't seen it this year. This movie just cracks me up.
In all, its been a good Sunday. It was nice to not have to worry about who was saying the prayers, what songs we were going to sing and all that jazz. Not to mention that any day where Syd randomly looks at you, gives you a big sloppy kiss and says, "I just love you, Auntie," can't be labeled as a bum day.

Humble Pie
Alright, so since I've been back, me and Syd (and sometimes Meredith and Grammy) play wii bowling. Let's just say that I haven't beat Syd ONCE since I've been home. That's my new New Years Resolution. She whomps me every time. Talk about GAY. haha. Its definitely funny though.
Okay...may I just have my moment to say...THE MAVS BEAT THE SUNS! WAHOO! That's right. I haven't slept so good in my life. lol. Well, except for when the beat the heat or the Lakers...come to think of it, I sleep really well when the beat the spurs and the rocket too. So lets just say that I sleep really well whenever we win! But especially well when we beat those guys!
Yesterday meant another trip to Wendy's for lunch. I think I should keep a tally of how many times my dad and I go there. I'm sure it will be pretty high by the time I leave. I wrapped an insane amount of presents yesterday and the weird part is, is I actually enjoyed it. lol. That usually doesn't happen. Its probably because none of them were mine this time. :) I'm sure that part is yet to come though. They went back to the mall today to get stuff for me and Puden, so that must have been why I didn't wrap any of mine yesterday. :)
Anyway, I'm heading out so I can go party with the sistah! Boom baby!!! XOXO
