Photo Journal of Christmas Break...Enjoy!

Sushi For Santa (So Cute)



Thought we'd drive to Denver on Friday afternoon/evening.



Turned into a bad idea fast!



So we stopped off at Sukie and Wudan's and decided to shovel snow/ build a tower.



A grand tower.



And spend the night with friends. (So cute, they sleep exactly the same :)



We set out the next morning. The roads were better but it was so cold the windshield wiper fluid froze. No good!



Angry fist! Driving hunched over trying to see out the small clear area.



After the first time unfreezing them we kept hot water in the car to unfreeze them again.



When we got into wyoming the roads were better but the snow was blowing and visibility sucked.



We avoided getting eaten by the carnivorous semi, just barely.



Bad visibility = accidents = traffic jams = :(



You thought the roads in Utah and Wyoming were bad? This is what they were like in Michigan.



Icy Pier.



Trying to walk on the pier to see the lake. We didn't succeed.



The bay. Pretty cool with the fog.



Chicago skyline from the car on the way back to the airport. Pretty awesome photo huh?!



This was in the men's restroom at a gas station in wyoming. If things are going well with a lady in the adjacent diner excuse yourself for a moment and really impress her by freshening up with this cologne. :)



Back home with awesome icicles :)

School's Cool

So last semester, that's big right? Totally! Pretty much it will be a useless but pretty easy semester.

I'm finally taking Biology 100, can anyone say "Freshman" 300 crazy, annoying, loud freshman. Not cool. But the class should be a breeze, the benefit of freshman classes is that they're super easy. Easy like take home open book tests. The professor just reads from her power point and then after class she posts them online. No worries the actual exams that aren't open book just come from those. The longest paper is 2 pages double spaced. I think I'll get through that class just fine :)

My other class, English 311, will be a little more demanding but not bad. I'm sure that if i stay on top of the writing assignments I'll do fine in the class.

All in all it should be a nice semester. And then school's over! That's right there's only like 107 days left of my college career! Sweet!

I know i've disappeared.

I promise I'll post sometime. I have to get work back up to speed then I'll get the great pictures of our drive to Denver, Christmas stories and last semester of college celebration stuff up. Promise :)

"It's gonna be a long time, girlfriend"...

(AKA you're not going to get to have sex for 4 months)that's what a girl at work said today when i told her i wasn't getting married until April. Haha. Little does she know, we've been officially engaged for the whole semester (4 months), and unofficially engaged since May (8 months). Haha, 4 months seems like nothing to me now!
And another question is why do people feel the need to tell you how something is going to be? I'm sure I'll experience it for myself and it will be different than it was for her.
But anyway, good times, apparently the next 4 months will be the most tormentingly long months of my life :)

This is what we need at work :)

"Security!"

"Did you just whammy?" ...

the best line of Saturday night.

after the wonderful, fun filled day we came back down to Provo and i did my laundry at Carolyn's. While waiting for it to wash and dry i decided to play some guitar hero, yes i said it guitar hero. I have changed my opinion of the game and now deem it, enjoyable and entertaining, whereas before i, how do i say this, hated it. (Wudan, i have gained an appreciation for the game and now i won't be all cranky when that's all anyone wants to do.)

So i was playing my second song and i whammied (love this whole made up word thing) and Carolyn asked "did you just whammy?" It was awesome.

Just wanted to throw it out there that i lake guitar hero now :)

Fabulous Surprise!

We went up to Sukie and Wudan's last weekend. I had my fitting for my little jacket for the wedding. It turned out great and the dresses for my wonderful bridesmaids are great too! I was cranky Friday night and caused some unnecessary drama, sorry wudan, but i think it got better on Saturday.

the day started off great with a wonderful snow storm! I love the snow and it was fun to drive around in it and look at the pretty whiteness! Yay!

It was such a fun day! We pick out and decorated a Christmas tree with them. i love decorating Christmas trees! I'm a dork :) We put our Christmas presents for our gift exchange under the tree and it looked all festive.

Then Carolyn brought out the surprise. A birthday cake! She organized a birthday party for me! It was so fun and i really didn't expect it until that day when she started telling me that she had a surprise and asking everyone if it was time to do the surprise yet. Then she gave me a birthday gift... a food dehydrator!!! I know that many people think this is dorky but i have been wanting one of these for the past year or so! I love dried fruit! I started drying fruit yesterday and it is wonderful!!! Sukie gave me an adorable scarf for my birthday and the cutest, perfect color orange shirt for the gift exchange! It was a great festive day! Thanks for the great surprise, it was awesome!!!

I love all my great friends and I'm glad we hang out so much! Thanks for making the weekend fun even if i wasn't!!!
