Twilight!!!!

Thanks to the National Guard, I got Ashley to go to the big-bucks movie theatre to see Twilight last night...
I got two free movie tickets from the National Guard just for watching a 15 minute video online. how sweet?? I am hoping I didn't accidentally make any commitments to join..? So, since it was free, Ashley and I snuck some Jamba Juice into Edwards theatre and settled down for the heart wrenching/slightly cheesy tale of a girl who falls in-love with a vampire. We came dressed up in all of our Twilight paraphenelia:
**Ashley's hair is kind of in the way, but her's says I love Jacob, and mine says I love Edward!**

When we were at Jamba getting our drinks, we were both trying to persuade the girl the worked there to join our side;

mine being Team Edward






and Ashley's being Team Jacob.
All-in-all it was a way fun night with my sister. I was so happy I could see the movie with her.
(sadly, RaeAnn couldn't be there cuz she wanted to get sleep before church the next day...)

Game Day

For finals week at school, I only have to go to 2 classes everyday and I get out of school at 11:05. So, what do I do with this new found time?? Well today a couple of my school girlfriends and I decided to go to the Paramount Club House to play games and eat pizza...




















We played a little buzz word, imaginiff, and Eat it!


These are two of my friends Amanda and Tori playing the game. The funniest thing happened!! Amanda was reading Tori a question and she was like there are 5 correct answers, you just have to pick one. and Tori said, "Can you read me the 5 and then I'll pick which one is right." I don't know if that sounds as funny right now as it did in the moment. The whole time we were there we were all laughing a lot. The Buzz Word scores were pretty low because we'd waste our time with laughter (but don't worry, my team won. haha).
And here's another funny story. So we were playing our games on the coffee table^ and I put my head down on the table and all of a sudden I was like "oh my gosh! something smells like Thomas!" (after his baths of course...) So then I was like sniffing my hands and the card I was holding and everything around me to find where the scent was coming from. Finally, I figure out that the smell is on the table so I smelled it again and everyone was making fun of me but I was like so excited! It made me miss that little guy even more although!

So, in the club house there was also this big work out room with elliptical and T.V.'s and stuff so we decided we were going to go back tomorrow at noon to work out and possible watch some BH9 while we're running. :)

Merry Christmas!

Well, I don't have any pictures from Christmas, but I thought I should still give a little update. Christmas this year was awesome! or, as RaeAnn would say, A-W-E-S-O-M-E, Awesome, are we! haha. I was seriously spoiled this year by Santa/Dad/RaeAnn's good shopping eye. I got an adorable pair of boots that I was in dire need of (my toes are so happy!), lots of warm winter clothes, which were also needed (my arms thank you!), undershirts with NO HOLES!!, and some books I've been dying to read from Deseret Book (Reunion, When the Bough Breaks, and Reflections of Christ **which is less of a read, more of a picture book**), and my first piece of BYU paraphernalia from Danny (who would've thought he'd be the first to get me BYU clothes?? I did!!).
On Christmas Eve we went to they yummiest restaraunt, Brick 29 Bistro. It was awesome! Then we spent Christmas Eve night at RaeAnn and Paul's. We got to do all of our family traditions that I remember doing when I was younger; singing favorite Christmas songs, reading the story of Christ's birth from the Bible, snacking on RaeAnn's yummy goodies, and opening my PJ present.
On Christmas morning we all waited at the top of the stairs to run down and see what Santa had gotten us. RaeAnn made us breakfast and a delicious turkey for dinner (we were definitely well fed). It was so fun to have Ashley, Nolan, Thomas, and Grace with us to celebrate Christmas. The only sad thing was that I realized this is my last Christmas living at home...weird! I'm getting so old!! But it was a perfect Christmas to go out on. Thank you family for making the holiday season so awesome!!

Books...


(The current book I'm reading)

I'm looking for some reading help. This is what I've been reading lately (and a lot of them are repeats):

The 4 Twilight Books by Stephenie Meyer

The Host by Stephenie Meyer

The Secret Journal of Brett Colton by Kay Lynn

Random Jane Austen Biography

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd

So does anyone have any suggestions for more books I can read, cuz I'm PRETTY bored. haha. I am asking for like 3 new books for Christmas, but they're all pretty short so they won't last very long, ya know?
