BYU Bowl Game

Last weekend Luke and I went to the BYU bowl game in Vegas. We decided to say some mulla by staying in Mesquite. It actually broke the trip up perfectly! On Friday night we drove through a wretched blizzard and I was just happy to make it to Mesquite in one piece. Saturday morning we woke up and had breakfast at Denny's with Lorna, my friend from work, and her family. I talked Luke into going to the Outlets in Vegas and needless to say there was just nothing to be had! So then it was time to meet up with Yosh and Gaye and head to the game. Who would have thought that you would freeze in Vegas- yes it is true! It was VERY chilly~ The game was pretty boring until the very end so I just stayed entertained with my Dal and Porter. After the game Luke and I hit up In-N-Out Burger. We were cracking up because you could just tell that this particular one was full of BYU Mormons! Why is it that we all (including myself) have to eat at In-N-Out Burger, Cheesecake Factory...etc. when we leave Utah? We all have the same rituals when it comes to leaving town! Too funny. Anyhow- it was a good little getaway and a nice break from our usual routines~

Finals are Over!

So I just wanted to announce the joy of my life right now- FINALS are over and I am free as a bird! I was finally able to just do a little shopping last night without feeling like I needed to be home by a certain time to get some studying done. Last night I was trying to fall asleep and I just kept feeling like I needed to study or edit a research paper. What a relief~ I am so grateful to be done. It has just been so stressful with Christmas and all! So just so you all know I only have one more semester to go and then I will get my diploma and never go to school again!

The Forgoten Carols

What would Christmas be with out The Forgotten Carols? Who doesn't love "I cry the day I take the tree down?" I DONT! But I do love all the other songs. I have been listening to this CD since I was a little girl. Some of my favorite memories is when I got to be Mary and Grammy would play "Mary let me hold her baby". So this year I decided to buy Luke and I tickets, so we invited Trina and Steve to go with us. We grabbed a bite to eat at the Goodwood Barbeque and then headed over. I was dying because I could tell that Luke was ready to leave after the first song. They do all this funny acting and what not and being the cheese ball that I am- I loved it. Luke on the other hand liked the songs but could have done without the whole story. It was just fun to take a break from homework and have a night on the town!
Christmas time is always so emotional, busy, hectic, fun, stressful, etc. You all know the feelings that we all feel this time of year. I have this problem of setting my expectations for myself and others too HIGH~ so this year I decided that I am just going to do my best at getting things together, and I am just going to be excited for what this year brings! I hope you all are ready and I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, and don't forget that starting Christmas day you will see pictures on our blog because hopefully "Santa" will be for putting that camera in his sleigh!

SORRY!!!

So it has almost been a month since I have posted. Let me just blame that on a broken camera. Things around here have been crazy and let's just say in 2 weeks I will post a good one. This next week is the last week of class and then the week after is finals!!!! Then thanks goodness I will have a break for a few weeks. Until then.....I will just keep looking at everyone else's and thinking, "Man I gotta post something new!" Happy Holidays~
