new nephew alert!

 So I have a new nephew! He is super cute! He is a week old yesterday, but I got to hold him for the first time today! What a joy to have in your arms... Why the heck do they have to grow up? WHY?                                                                                                

He is just a little guy! But oh so cute!!

Exciting news!

So it look as if I might graduate after all!! I went and talked to an adviser today, and he said that basically I have 14-17 credits left depending on my last cluster!!! So basically if I wanted to, I could graduate in JULY! I'm not sure if I will, but it is possible and that is the best part of all! Lets just hope that I can figure out exactly what I want to be when I "grow up"!!

what language was that?

Today I was outside my class taking to my mom before it started. When I came back into the classroom, one of my classmates asked,
him: "were you speaking English."
me: "were you just listening to my conversation?"
him: "I just thought it was cool you were speaking Russian."
me: "I wasn't speaking Russian."

Okay that wasn't as funny as I thought, but it made me laugh pretty good, who knew I sounded like I spoke Russian when I am sick, a few feet away, and talking fast.
Maybe I should put it on my Resume...

visiting feet...

the offenders... obviously under the wrong desk!

Just now as I am sitting on the 2nd floor of the library, listening to my 90s music and working on my website, I suddenly feel something hit my foot. I look down, and there are these foreign feet tapping away under MY DESK! I have no idea who they belong too, but they keep touching me!! Excuse me I'm in the library doing homework... I am in no mood to be playing footsie, could you please move your feet! I don't even know you!


P.S.- Don't you love my boots? Well if you don't I do! :)

oh what a day!

So Sunday was quite the day! For one thing I was missing all my roommates except for one, so it was Elysha and I at home. We went to church like any other day... except we were late, well I guess what is normal :)!
Then the rest of church went on pretty regular. It wasn't until we went to get in the car to go home.  Earlier when we had parked the car, we had found a rock star space... the only catch was that the snow made the curb next to it invisible, so I had parked my back tire on the curb.
So flashforward back to after church. We get in the car, and remembered that we were stuck, so we got out to kick some snow around. The only problem was that I left the car in reverse, so the car automatically locked us out! Dang!!
We hurriedly ran through the wet parking lot and into the building (filling my black boots with water... I might add) to search for help. Everyone keep saying "find a hanger," but there were no hangers to be found.  Then suddenly someone said, "Call campus security!" The only problem was in my time of stress I couldn't remember the phone number, especially because I locked my phone in the car. 
So someone in my bishopric lent me some assistance, and before I knew it the campus cop was at my aid! Within minutes he had us in the car, and without any effort at all he pushed us out of our predicament! What a man!! I was so embarrassed, but I now have a testimony of the campus security, and although I hope to never have to call them again, I am so grateful my school has such a wonderful service for us to use in our time of need!!

 The "wonderful" snow in Rexburg that makes life interesting!!
The next pictures of things I'm grateful didn't happen to me... Enjoy the SNOW!

Wonderful Christmas!

I don't have alot to say, except that I had such a wonderful Christmas this year.  What made it wonderful was not the presents, cards and candy... but instead the quality time I had with my family remembering Christ's birth.  To start out this wonderful Holiday weekend I spent Christmas eve night with my parents! It was awesome!! We got Chinese food and watched a lifetime Christmas movie... which is two of my favorite things :) . Then we watched the Mo-Tab sings some songs on a dvd we had, and then after that we watched a movie called "The Nativity Story" which we own, but never watched.

It was a really good movie, and a wonderful reminder of what happened so long ago.  I liked it because it goes deeper in depth of how Mary being pregnant at that time was not culturally acceptable and what a hardship the people of the land were going through.  It helped me to realize all the hardships that came along with Jesus's birth, which really made it the humblest of circumstances.  Mostly it helped me to remember the details I had forgotten.

it looks way better on me :)

The next part of my wonderful Christmas weekend was Christmas day. My parents and I woke up(they got dressed and I stayed in my PJs :) ), and opened our stockings. I even got the traditional stairs picture we use to always take. Then had a yummy breakfast of caramel/orange rolls and crepe type omelets... way good ps.  We opened our presents and I got this way cool animal print trench-coat with awesome turquoise buttons. I also got a warm/pink blanket for my bed, and a few other really neat things like boots!!

Then to make the day super fun, my mom got the game Just dance 2. I really thought people were lying when they said it was fun, but I actually had a really good time playing. Talk about a workout! I figure if I do that everyday, I'll be in good shape. I got to play it several times through the day with my family members.  Brittany kicked my trash, and it was funny to watch Julie and dad dance to the bollywood duet song. Oh it was a hoot! It really made me grateful to have such a wonderful family. It was so awesome to see all my siblings during this week. Lets just hope I do not get sick with all the illness running around the fam! (knock on wood!) Well I'm not sure what else to say except... Merry Christmas!! We'll see you in the new year!! I hope its a good one!!
