Home Sweet Home!

Well I got back yesterday around 5! I was so excited! Although when I got in the car with my dad and two brothers, Christopher and Cameron didnt even notice I was there because they were to busy watching a movie! :( But, I am very glad to be home. It was really weird to wake up this morning and realize that I was actually in a house.

Last night was Aubry's 16th birthday party! I was very glad I made it home in time for it! She had her friends come over and have a 5 course meal, go caroling, play games, and then they watched The Chiristmas Shoes. It was a lot of fun of course, how can you not when you have 8 15/16 year old girls together!

Home Free!

So today I finished my last final!! Yeah!! I am now officially done with my 1st semester at BYU. Amazingly I am still alive and functioning :) This poor Panguitch girl is not use to this kind of intense studying.

Last night while I was studying, David called me and wanted to know if I wanted to take a study break before my brain exploded. So I took a break for a while, and made cards with him while we watched A Christmas Carol on the TV in the Lobby! It was very good to let my brain calm down before I went back to studying!

Bottom: Two of the cards that I madeI am just glad I am done and I can go home tomorrow!!! I am so excited for Aubry's birthday party tomorrow night. I cant wait to see all my family and spend time with them again.

The start of the end of my life!

Today is the start of finals, something all students look forward to ;) I am studying constantly and cant wait until they are over and I can make my way back to Panguitch again!

Winter Wonderland!

The view of the snow from my window

On Saturday it snowed all day long! I was SO excited! When I first looked out my window and saw the ground covered in white blanket I freaked out. I couldn't wait to go play in it. After finishing everything we needed to, Sydney and I finally went outside and had a blast!!

I am all ready to have fun in the snow!

Fun in the Snow!!

Well as you all know Sydney moved in with me, and so we got very excited about decorating our room for Christmas! So we spent a really long time cutting out 30 or more snowflakes to hang up all over. Now our room looks like a Winter Wonderland that we love! We also put up Christmas lights above our beds! We also have a Christmas Tree with candy canes all over it, and the star I made during Thanksgiving Break!

Our favorite snowflake that we made!

New Roomie!

Waiting for cleaning check

For the past little while my friend Sydney and I have been planning on becoming roommates. So yesterday she finally had all her stuff moved into my room. But she had to pile all her stuff on my side until the other side got checked to make sure it was clean. But we are now roomies!!! And both of us are very excited!

Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

Yesterday it started snowing!! I was very excited. It didnt stick for very long, but it finally started feeling like Christmas time to me!!

Temple Square

Nativity Scene in the Reflecting Pool and the Temple

Monday for FHE my ward went to Temple Square to see the lights! It was gorgeous like always, but it was a little different not being with my family on our yearly trip. But I still loved every second and I wish they would have given us more time. We had time to walk around, go to the top of the Joseph Smith Building, go inside the Tabernacle, and go inside the Assembly Hall. By the time we got out of the Assembley hall Sydney, Gary, and I wanted to head over to see the statue of Christ until we looked at our clocks and realized it was time to go. So Sydney and I just decided we were going to have to come back with a group of our friends. It was a really fun trip and I am very glad I was there to see my friends see the lights for the first time!
