Twas the night before Christmas..

And all through the house, 

Not a creature was stirring, 

Not even a chocolate cherry mouse.

Traditions are what makes each family unique during the holidays.

We all celebrate the birth of our Savior,

but what traditions do you have? 

My sister and I run around the yard barefoot 

screaming MERRY CHRISTMAS!! :).

Sweet Pea

So as any college student knows..it's finals week. So I looked something like this:

But then I received some lovely Christmas presents from my lovely friends..

 Flowers from J.T. and Steve!!

 Sweet Pea candle from Mike

 Princess Bride DVD from Jen..

She also gave me a boyfriend that I can grow!! ( I actually asked Santa for one this year how'd she know??)

So then I looked something like this:

Happy finals week :). Hang in there and watch for the little things.

Breaking Dawn

I may or may not be admitting that I waited in line for hours to see the midnight premiere..

I also may or may not have dressed up as Jane.

What happens when Banner crashes

After a second night of anxiously waiting to register for classes, I was ready to just get it over with. I really needed to get into English 2010 and a couple other necessary courses. In order to do this I would need to register in the first three minutes after it opens at midnight. This is what occurred two hours into Banners server crash.

I drew a face that represented banner and proceeded to punch it, sit on it, stamp it, and crumple it.

"Death is too easy for Banner!"

You have now experienced firsthand the rampages of a college student when they are forced to stay up waiting for a server that has crashed.

Feel free to laugh, I did.

Sippin Cider

As I sit here sippin my cider in the cafe, one part from his letter plays over and over in my head.
"So I am going to ask now what may be to you a stupid question. That part you wrote about standing on the cliffs with a boys arms around you...was that a hint? That's all I'm going say."

Well dear Elder, You're catching on :).

Tender Mercies.

I have a friend, a very close friend. This person is one of the most in-tune-with-the-spirit people I have ever met, and he's not even LDS. He knew exactly what a friend of mine needed. An anonymous letter that broke her down to the deepest, most humble place she's ever been. Heavenly Father loves ALL of us. Even this person. I got to witness a minor miracle that night with her. Heavenly Father had needed someone to start the spark...and I didn't listen. It humbled me as much as it humbled her. His plan is for all of us, and sometimes what he asks us to do is not what we want to do, but it's what we need to. I'm so grateful for this gospel, for my heavenly parents, and for patriarchal blessings. It's time I get back into the work.

Shake that.

I don't care if this song is so last season, because every day I'm Shufflin.
