SNOW DAY!!!!

So this past weekend, it snowed and snowed and snowed and snowed. And guess what it brought? My first ever SNOW DAY!!! I was so excited, one reason because I had early class that morning, and also becuase it gave me time to do homework that I needed to catch up on, but most of all, so I could play! I spent the day watching lost with my roommates and some friends from our complex, eating an amazing breakfast of waffles and eggs and bacon, and playing in the snow (including watching my roomates try to sled down and hill with card board boxes, having a snowball fight, and making a snowman). It was such a fun day. I'm so glad I got that day to relax and catch up on everything. I wish there was a snow day ever Tuesday!!! 

Oh and I would post pictures, but I don't have any from that day, but I'll get some... sometime... and post them. 

Winter Wonderland!!

Yesterday it snowed, lightly, but it was snowing (and cold just to add). It was just enough enough to leave a new beautiful white layer over everything. As I was walking home from school, I saw the beauty of the snow. It was breath-taking! And because there was snow and ice everywhere, all of the cars were going really slow, so they weren't as noisy as they usually are. So the ending result was me walking home in a white wonderland that was so peaceful and quite (comparatively). It made my day! Also, as we were walking to and from FHE, we were able to help a few people who were having problems with their car and the the snow and ice. It felt so good to help them in their time of need. I know I would love anyone who did the same for me. One of the ladies called us Angels. It made me think of Elder Holland's talk in this last General Conference, "The Ministery of Angels." We can all be someone's angel and help them when they need it. Service is what the Savior did his entire life. He was always serving and helping someone. I'm so grateful for his example that he set for me, and hope that I can continue to become more like him.

Gingerbread Houses!!

A few days before we came to Mesa, Aubree, Amy, Carissa, and I made gingerbread houses (out of grahm crackers of course). We made some frosting and made our houses and decorated them using lots and lots of candy! It was kind of messy, but it was so much fun! And these are the houses that came out of this fun night!

This one was built by the one and only... CARISSA!!! Who else would put one random yellow M&M among the reds and the greens?

And this creative little house is by non other than... Aubree!! She was finally able to get a house to stay up!! Yay!!

And this beautiful... well it's not exactly a house... but it's Amy's!! The reason her's is a snowman and not a house is because Amy was also having troubles keeping her house up, and so Carissa told her to make a snowman out of grahm crackers. Amy graciously accepted the challenge and this is what she made!

And this one is my beautiful house! At first it was staying up really well... but that didn't last long. I was able to get a picture of it while it was still up. I was lucky. But I liked it while it lasted!

It was such a fun night! Thanks guys!

IT'S OVER!!!!!

I'm done with finals!! To be precise, I finished this morning at 11:00. I made it through my first semester of college!! It's official!! College isn't as bad as I thought it would be, but they do let you adjust before they throw you into all of the really hard stuff. That could make a difference. But hey, I made it and am so proud of myself! Now I get to go back home to Mesa and spend a good month there where I don't have to pay for groceries, and I can have a car to drive again, and a while bunch of good stuff like that!! But then it's back to school after that... It never ends...

(This is how I feel sometimes in college, like I'm really really little...)

There is Christmas in the Air!!!!

So last night we made a trip to Dollar Tree and bought Christmas decorations! Kylie brought up a little foot and a half tall Christmas Tree, and we decorated it with necklaces and earings. (Yes we are poor college students)

And we bought plastic flowers and Aubree and Kylie made them all pretty and Christmas-y!!

We also cut Snowflakes out of paper and hung them up by our kitchen to add to it.

Putting up our Christmas decorations made me so happy!!! It feels like Christmas now!!! I hope evryone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! I love you all!!!
