So nobody is blogging and it's making me sad because I don't know what is going on with anyone!! It's very sad. So maybe if I blog... I can start a chain reaction and then everyone will blog!! yes?? no?? i hope so!! So the semester is basically over, it's been crazy and I can't wait for it to be done. With classes, work, projects, mono, money, post-florida depression, it's been a rough semester. BUT with the amazing friends, constant partying at my house, whether its with the roomies or with other people, Church activiites, and lots of movies, it has been a lot of fun!
We finally got our 5th girl in the house. Her name is Arianne Judkins and we love her! She is so much fun and normal, we needed some normalcy. So now there are a total of 6 of us living in our house. Me, Colleen, Amber, Cristina, Arianne, and of course, Nate. (Don't worry, all BYU housing standards are being followed). We like to watch movies at our house, and we watch one every night basically. Ever genre. Horror (although not too scary) like "What Lies Beneath" and "Red Eye" SciFi like "I am Legend" and "I Robot" (yes, we love Will Smith) movies like "Johnny Lingo" and "The Other Side of Heaven" chick flicks of course "You've Got Mail" (Colleen's favorite movie)and "Letters to Juliet" and animated movies "Mulan" and "Space Jam." I watched Space Jam for the FIRST TIME ever last night!! It was great. So that's a very short list of movies, but those are some that we have watched recently.
We (my roomies and I) are trying to work out whenever we can...we do decently, but we could do better. We use a Jillian Michaels workout video. It's intense. It's pretty awesome, we didn't have weights, so we used cans of Progresso soup. But me and Colleen bought weights, so no more soup for us. Good thing, cuz it's getting cold and I want to eat my soup!!
Halloween was a lot of fun. I had a ward party and a work party and I was Belle at both. I made my beautiful Belle dress (thanks mom) and I love it!! It was a lot of fun to be Belle. I even dyed my hair... darker brown. I like it. But it's only temporary so it is going away...fading... but that's okay. Since Halloween is over, and we tend to skip Thanksgiving... okay, thats not true, I love Thanksgiving, I'm quite excited for Thanksgiving, but CHRISTMAS IS COMING!! I have been listening to Christmas music in my car and in the kitchen, it's a wonderful time of year!! We have a Countdown to Christmas chain and it's getting shorter!! Oh, we also have a Nate chaing (how many days in a row Nate has been at our house) and that one is getting longer. By now, the Nate Chain may be longer than the Christmas chain!! For Christmas for all of my roommates (Nate included) I am making footsie pajamas. I'm so excited! I have one pair done, except for the button and butt flap, and another cut out. They are basically going to be awesome!! I can't believe it...I'm sewing...all by myself. I made footsie pajamas all by myself. Where did that come from? Mom is thrilled becasue I'm sewing, Megan is sewing, Natalie is sewing. All those years of her twisting our arms to sew have finally paid off!! I am so glad that my mom took the time to teach me how to sew. Although I didn't appreciate it at the time... I sure do now!!
So for Church, I got called to be on the Family Home Evening Committee, and I am loving it. We plan really fun activities. Last week we had a magician come and we are going to do a lot of fun things for the rest of the year. It will be great. Also, for church, on December 11 we are going to go to Salt Lake and go to Savior of the World. i am very excited, it is supposed to be amazing!! We are going to have dinner catered at the church and then take some busses to Temple square. We'll go to the show and check out the lights, I AM SO EXCITED!!
Anyway, I think that kindof catches up my life for right now... I can't think of anything else terribly exciting...so I'm gonna wrap up. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!
