HOUSTON

I know. I suck at updating! But I've been so busy lately... you really can't blame me!

I finally made my journey here to Houston. It is absolutely amazing. I love being here. The weather is perfect, and it has been so amazing to spend time with my family and all of the friends that I have missed so much! I definitely want to spend even more time with them! It makes me not want to go back... but I know that I'll want to by the end... but right now this is just fabulous!

It was so funny to get my niece and nephew together. They are so funny, and they've grown up sooo fast! There are so many fun things we've done... expect pictures soon :]]

FINALS!

are terrible.

just terrible.

I've taken four so far. I did well on the first three... but then I completely bombed my last one (like below fifty bomb).

But the thing is studying more wouldn't have helped. It was just hard. No one did very well. I've only heard of one person that passed and he got a 72. So hopefully there will be a HUGE curve!

Anyways enough ranting! I only have one final left! And it's religion so it shouldn't be too hard!! Then off to Houston! Can't wait!!

CHRISTMAS

is almost here! Who is pumped? You are of course. I know you are! Today at church was our Christmas program (because there is no church next week because everyone's going home!) and it was amazing! I sang in the choir and played my viola! It really put me in the Christmas mood! I loved it.

Last night I went sledding with some friends. Most fun I've had in a long time! I've never really gotten to play in the snow like that before. It was soooo much fun! Laura took a picture so as soon as I get it from her I'll post it!

Five days people. FIVE DAYS! and five finals....

This is pretty much my favorite Christmas song right now :] Just listen to the whole thing!

So Much!

So much has been going on! I don't even know where to start!

This past weekend I got to go to the BYU Military Ball with a friend from back home. It was a lot of fun, and kind of funny at times. They had like a ceremony for the guys to pour our water.... But all in all it was really fun.

Sunday Provo finally had its first real snow. At first it was so exciting!... but the excitement wore off as I came to a realization that this dirty snow is going to be here until april :[ But it's kind of fun. I guess. haha.

There's a lot more now.... this was taken on Sunday!

Sunday night my sister, Kelli, and I drove up to Salt Lake and waited in the standby line for tickets into the Conference Center for the First Presidency Devotional. Luckily we didn't have to wait long outside because it was COLD! The conference center was decorated so pretty for christmas!

(excuse the bad quality... taken on my phone! haha)

It was awesome. That was the first time that I'd ever been in there! It was so fun. That place is huge!!!

Monday night my ward (congregation at church) took a trip up to the Salt Lake temple. It was so fun to be on the grounds during the winter/Christmas time. The lights were amazing... and of course the temple is SO beautiful!



It was so fun to hang out with everyone!

Today my roommate and I ventured out in the snow and went and got vaccinated for H1N1. It was free for BYU students. I was really nervous about getting a shot... I hate needles. I need to get over that... anyways. Once we got there we found out that you can a live strand put in you through a nasal "mist." It's supposed to be better because your body builds up better immunity, but I was kind of nervous about having them stick something up my nose, but it was so good! I didn't feel anything! I highly recommend the "nasal mist" route! Not scary at all!!

Ten Days till in I'm in TEXAS!!!!

BYU Football

So our regular season is over :[

But we definitely ended with a bang! I've had family attend BYU and my dad always watched the game, so I realized that BYU and University of Utah were rivals, but I never realized the intensity of it! Everyone was booing their fans and it was just reallllly intense! This might be my favorite...

This isn't the best picture because I was caught off guard laughing and trying to pull my camera out at the same time. The guy wearing red with a backpack, had a stuffed animal cougar (our mascot) on a leash and was dragging him around. Even though he was hating on BYU I laughed so hard. Had to be one of the funniest things EVER! You can kind of see a little bit of it in the picture!

I went to the game with my sister Kelli and we made sure to get there super early so that no one would take our seats! On everyone's seat they had BYU flags so of course we took tons of pictures with them!

And I wore the BYU rival shirt, duh!

The game was super close. I might have doubted BYU for a couple of moments :[ Haha but we finally won in overtime! Everyone was screaming. It was so intense, and then people started rushing the field. Which is generally a huge no no. The cops were trying to push people back into the stands, but there were so many that they gave up. He is the field full of people!!

It was like the funnest game ever!

SO later drama occurs! Max Hall (our QB) decided that it would be awesome to hate on Utah to the press. Which sucks because at BYU we like to be classy and good sports. Here is his statement.

"I don't like Utah. In fact, I hate them. I hate everything about them. I hate their program, I hate their fans, I hate everything. I think the whole university, their fans and their organization is classless. They threw beer on my family and stuff last year, and they did a whole bunch of nasty things, and I don't respect them, and they deserved to lose."

Way to be classy Max Hall. Hahah. A lot of people are upset about it. He came out with a statement and apologized, but I actually think it's funny. I don't think it took away from our win.

Because BYU is the best. duhhh :]

Until next year!

soooo

I have a new addition to my room!

Of course I loved Twilight. I love everything Twilight.

I was one of those girls that screamed when Jacob took his shirt off to help Bella's sicknast forehead.

Taylor Lautner is 17. Really? Guess what? I DON'T CARE. He has got to be one of the sexiest men (boys?) alive.

And hereeee it is.

This is in fact hanging in my dorm room. And yes. Everyone is jealous. When the girls on my floor came home from their Thanksgiving festivities we had a photoshoot with everyone fawning over it.

$5 well spent.
