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?

My Weekend in Provo

This weekend I had a 4-day break from school so I planned a trip to BYU Provo with my friend Kelsey (who's going to BYU Idaho, she's from Mesa) to visit our friends Amy and Melissa who are going to BYU. We got their Friday night and got to meet their roommates and we all went to Denny's.

We had a sleepover at Melissa's dorm Friday and Saturday night. On Saturday we went to the BYU-San Diego game (I think that's who we were playing...) Anyway, we totally killed them! And we got to go up so close that we were like on the field. It was way fun, though there is a lot of school spirit that I'm going to have to slowly get use to next year...

Then Amy's friend Ben took us to Applebees with his family. We went back to the dorms and freshened up a little and then went to take some pictures with the cougar outside the stadium.

And then, when we were walking back to the appartment, we saw these way cool motorcycles parked outside the guy's dorms, so naturally we took a picture on them! Kelsey wouldn't get on her's cuz she was too scared that they were going to come out, but I did cuz even if they did come out, they'd feel so cool to have some girls taking pictures with their bikes!

We got like three honks a night from guys when we were walking around Provo, and we got invited by these 3 guys to a hockey game, but we didn't take them up on that one...haha. Anyway, then we hung out for a while and made this blog for all of the Mesa girls to blog on so we can keep in touch, cool idea, huh? Then we went to Olive Garden and got the all you can eat breadsticks, soup, and salad. It was way yum, but too filling. I don't think I got as much out of it as possible since I was still pretty full from Applebee's, and we basically had to roll back home with how big our stomaches got! Once we got back to Melissa's place, we crashed on the couch and didn't get up for the rest of the night. Let me tell ya, college life is way tiring!
