Best Break Ever!

I have absolutely loved everything about this week! Spending time with my family, enjoying the 60 degree weather, eating food I didn't pay for! Everything has been so wonderful!

On Saturday my parents took my to see How the Grinch Stole Christmas at the ASU Gammage theater, and it was so much fun!

On Sunday I got really sick at church and almost threw up during Sacrament meeting, so I came home early which was super depressing because I was really looking forward to going to Vintage Ranch Ward and seeing all my old friend.

Monday I went to ASU with Kyle and went to his Kinesology class and then went to Institute. I was so excited because I got to see my old seminary teacher Sister Brinkerhoff teach again! Then Kyle and I went out to lunch and then played games with my mom.

Tuesday my mom and I went to the movies, and then Keri and I went to the temple. Then we went to Bahama Bucks!

Wednesday I hung out at Kyle's apartment! We also went to Bahama Bucks! I love that place! Then I went to the store with my Dad and we picked out a bunch of new lights to put on our house to change up the lighting display a little bit. Then my BFF Amy came over and we went to Sonic and then went to our other friend Janessa's house to watch her open her mission call! She is going to Warsaw Poland!

Then Thursday my dad and I put the lights on the house (and missed the entire Macys Day Parade... I'm not bitter though!) Then my cousins came over and we had the best day ever! We ate dinner from 2 to 3, talked from 3 to about 4, went to see Unstoppable at like 4:30, then we came home, ate some pie, and played games!

Friday was really fun because I went shopping with Keri and completely finished my Christmas shopping. Then Friday night, all of my high school best friends came over and we talked forever! I don't know how I would have survived 8th grade and all of High School without the help of my best friends Amy, Alix, Morgan and Staci! Oh how I love them!!!

Today was supposed to be it. I was going to hop on a flight and get into Salt Lake about right now, and then drive to Rexburg. But I guess there is a big snow storm that my parents didn't want me flying home in, so instead I will be coming back first thing Monday morning. And I mean 1st thing, my flight is at 6am. So I have to leave at about 4:30 am... YIKES! Thankfully I got someone to teach my relief society lesson tomorrow, and I got people to cover all my hours at work on Monday. So I just have to make it back for my classes! And if I miss those, I'm not going to be too heartbroken!

I LOVE THANKSGIVING!!!

Home

"And I'm surrounded by, a million people I, still feel alone, let me go home, Oh I miss you you know!

Oh how Michael Buble knows exactly how I feel. I have been so homesick since, well last time I got to go home! There is nothing better than being in your hometown with your family. So far since I have been home, I have watched all my favorite shows, including Sonny with a Chance, JONAS LA, and Hannah Montana; I have been to In-n-Out and Bahama Bucks, I have seen my best friends in the whole world, Keri and Staci, and I have gone on a long car ride with my dad! These are like my favorite things to do! Oh and my favorite favorite part of being home, I was outside today, in my short sleeve T-Shirt and flip flops! So wonderful!

Tonight I get to go to the Gammage to see a play with my parents, tomorrow I get to go to Vintage Ranch ward, and Monday I get to clean the house! (I'm trying to act excited if you couldn't tell!) Thursday will come and I get to spend a lot of time with my extended family eating Turkey and pie! Friday will come and I will sneak off to the store to buy presents, and then I will hurry home and put lights on the house with my dad!

"It will all be alright, I'll be home tonight, I'm coming back home!"

Best Sight Ever!

My school uses a website called BrainHoney, and when teachers post assignments online, it appears on my main page, and I have a whole long list of assignments due in a week... well, I don't have school next week, which means...
I DON'T HAVE ANY ASSIGNMENTS!!!



So... see ya next week school! :D

Bubble Trouble

So today was a pretty busy Sunday afternoon. We had church at 12, dinner at 4, tithing settlement at 5:15, and a ward social at 6:00. Right after church I came home and decided to help out Gaby. She was cooking dinner today, so I thought I would clean up the kitchen a bit so that she could cook in it. Well being the wonderful roommate that I am... (said with sarcasm), I cleaned off the table and loaded the dishwasher. Then when I looked for the cute little packets of soap to load the dishwasher, I saw that we were all out. I guess its been a while since I loaded the dishwasher, because I could have sworn we had a big bag still left. So looking under the very crowded cupboard, I saw some dish soap and put it in. I thought to myself that this was a little bit off, because usually the soap is a solid, and not a liquid, but it seemed to be all we had. So in it went, and off to my room I went to call my mom. About ten minutes later I heard my name from the kitchen. I got to the kitchen to see this...



"Oh crap, I gotta go!" I said to my mom as I hung up and grabbed some more towels. We turned off the dishwasher and opened it up. There were bubbles EVERYWHERE!!! I wasn't mad, I thought it was really funny! I just laughed as I started wiping up the bubbles on the ground. Then my roommate called her brother who did this same thing not too long ago. He said to put downy laundry detergent in the machine and to run it, so it will get all of my soap out. So we took all the dishes and ran it like that. I was just laughing the whole time. It makes for a really good story! And now I know what soap to use, and which soap you don't use! hahaha...

Battleship!

Rememeber in the spring when I posted about how much I love playing Softball! Well I have found something else to take its place while the field is covered in snow. Battleship!

Imagine... an indoor swimming pool, 8 to 10 canoes in the pool with 3 to 4 people in each canoe flinging water at the other canoes. Its basically the coolest thing EVER! I heard about this at the beginning of the semester, so I went to the meeting for the captains, and I made a team. My team has my roommate Gaby Judd, our FHE brother Zac, and the EQP, Jimmy! And basically... WE DOMINATE! There are three rounds of 15 minutes each. Whoever is still standing after the 15 minutes gets 3 points. If you get out in the first 5 minutes you don't get a point, 5 to 10 you get 1 point, and then 10 t0 15 2 points. I think thats how they do it. Anyway, we lasted the entire first 2 rounds, and got out towards the end of the 3rd round, becasue one team totally cheated and pulled our canoe down... what the heck people! We ended up getting 2nd place, 1 point behind the cheating team! haha

Gaby and I sit at the end of the canoe and we hold big sleds as shields. Zac and Jimmy are in the middle of the canoe with little garabge pails that they fill up with water and chuck at the other canoes. Eventually the other canoes will get off balance and tip over, or they will just get so full of water that they will sink. Basically it is the funnest thing ever! We have played two games already, and only have a couple more weeks of it.

Best part of the whole night, after we got sunk during the 3rd round, we were pulling our canoe up from the bottom of the pool and decided to pull a Pirates of the Caribean and get under the canoe and talk to each other, and OH MY GOSH, it was the funnest thing ever! Everything echoed like crazy, and we were laughing so so so hard. I wanted to talk, but I couldn't stop laughing! So we just stood there in the pool under our canoe laughing for like 5 minutes, and finally Zac started pounding on the outside, so we got out and pulled our canoe out of the pool.

After the game was over, Gaby and I got out of our wet clothes and bundled up to go outside in the below freezing, I think it was like 23* or something, and then we went and got ice cream! haha, thats how awesome we are!!! So ya, I love Battleship!
