Pictures from December

Remember how I had a Birthday in December? Well this is a picture from when

Chris and I went to "the Roof" for dinner, we had the best view of the temple.

This is Chris and his delicious dessert! (times two..)

This picture is actually from Thanksgiving but I wanted to document

the fact that I can now cook (kinda) I made our frog eye salad for Chris's families

Thanksgiving dinner. (I think that I was the only one who at it, other families just don't get it.)

Well goodbye February...

So, I just realized that I have been lacking on my 21th century communication skills, when I realized that I hadn't been on facebook and read my peeps blogs in almost a month! Fortunately, no one reported me missing, because well I wasn't missing. SO... to get everyone (two people I think) caught up on my life...

• I now hate valentines more than any other human being on the plant after working at a CARD STORE (I will not name it because they won't pay me for the commercial time on my blog.) and having to help dumb boys find presents for their "girlfriends."
• I now know my sisters babies gender (well 85% sure) but since she hasn't mentioned anything about it, mum's the word (hint: it's not a hermaphrodite good news). But me and mom got the chance to go to the doctor with my sister and danny and watched the baby sleep and we heard its heart beat (i am so excited to be an aunt! its going to be great!)
• I have been at *card store* for 4 months now and have watched 7 people get fired, and my hours have been cut, so i am currently looking for new employment
• I cute 5 inches off my hair (although I STILL don't have pictures to prove it!)
• Chris and I celebrated our 1 year annivarsary, by doing not really anything!
• School is going alright, just really really early and time consuming

thats about it. Now if i only could remember to blog more often!

Where did December go?

Did anyone notice that Christmas kind of just came and left really fast?? I feel like I was stressing so much about trying to get ready and then I blinked and it was done.. o well..

This year for Christmas me and Chris split it up and Christmas Eve when I got off work I met Chris at his grandma's house and ate dinner, and then went to my house and did the whole gift thang and then had to go to Chris's mom's house, where we spelt (separately!) and we were promptly woken up at 6:30. we did the Christmas morning present exchange and then took a nap and ate breakfast and went to my grandparents House in Orem for about two hours. Then went to Chris's grandma's house for about two hours in Kaysville, and then went to Chris's other grandma's house in Ogden for a few hours and then went back to Chris's mom's house to play mario brothers wii game with Chris's sister! what a long day!!

New Year's was pretty lame, me and Chris hung out at my parents house and watched the ball drop and then played ticket to ride with my parents. Then I had to go to bed because I had to be to work really early the next day. Now I am only two days away from starting my next semester... ugh!

Dear Bed...

Dear Bed,

It's been awhile since we got to spend a lot of time together. I miss you. I don't want you to think that I am trying to punish you. I promise after my finals are over I will have more time for you. I know that our relationship will be able to handle this, we have been through worse I'm sure, I just can't think of anything this bad right now, I just miss you so much.

I can't wait until I can sleep in for real and not have to literally jump out of bed and RUN to my car because I only have 2 more minutes to get to a final in Salt Lake. Just three more tests and we can re-connect for hours on end.

Don't forget about me.

I offically HATE snow..

So today I had to wake up and get to a final at 8:00am, I made it just fine and found parking ok, I went to my final and got done like super fast (I was done about 8:30am), so I decided that since I was in the neighborhood, and Chris probably wasn't awake yet, I would call him and see if I could stop by! I called him and woke him up and told him that I would be coming over.

Well when I got there I thought to myself, his roommate is probably at work so I will park in his parking spot, and not on the road! So I start up the steep driveway... and my little car can't make it!! and I just slide right back down but I slid down crooked because who knows why! and this put me in traffic on 1300east so I just decided that my first priority was to get out of traffic.

To get out of traffic, I just decided to park in a spot that was right by Chris's driveway entrance and just call it good, but when I went to adjust my parking spot, I was stuck. Unbeknownst to me (I have always wanted to use that word) the parking spot I chose was nothing but a sheet of ice covered in know, topped with some more snow.. so I went to Chris and we started to work on it and, sure enough it was stuck for good. So we than decided that if we waited an hour or so, some of the snow would melt so we went in, and Chris started to try to work from home, and I being so distraught about the whole thing passed out, (this is where Chris claims that I started snoring, but I have never snored in my life so I think that he was lying).

Anyway, after about an hour we went back out to work on the car some more (and by "we" I mean Chris, because I was still asleep) but then I got up and went to check on him and he finally succeeded on getting my car out and up his driveway!! It only took all day and ruined all my plans. O well, at least I have my car again.

OH HAPPY #21!!!!

It is my birthday today you guys, and it is the lamest birthday ever haha... I guess that is expected when you get old, it's just i haven't been old for that long so I'm not even used to it! HOWEVER there was a few ups to it.




It all started when I had to wake up and rush to school and then I got done with school at around noon. I then went to Chris's house for a birthday lunch because I wasn't going to have enough time to see him any other time, so when I got there he had cafe rio for me and had this cute little piece of cake with 3 candles in it (he said it was like 2 and then 1 but that equals 3, says my 2nd grade teacher) and then he gave me my present. I decided that I would be annoying and start to tear little tiny pieces of paper off and make his room a mess, unfortunatly he caught on too fast, so then I just opened it and was staring at a white box with words about batteries and I looked at Chris and I said, "Chris, I don't know what this is..." and so he told me to open the box and when I did one sentence stuck out in my mind it said "congratulations on getting a new laptop" HOLY COW YOU GOT ME A LAPTOP!!!? It is so much nicer than my old laptop and I love it so much!!! It has all these way sweet features, like when I log in, it recognizes my face instead of me having to enter in a password. and it has a HUGE screen, and it's just the bomb.





Anyway, after I got my laptop I had to go to work. I worked from 4-10. yeah kinda lame, but my work got me a really cute card (with a picture of a cute little kitty on it, how fitting). and I also got a card from my grandma that was cute. I guess it could have been a lot worse! And tomorrow is Friday and Chris and I are going to celebrate my real birthday officially tomorrow. DINNER AT THE ROOF, WHAT UP!!

ps this is a picture from my new laptop cam.

Texting...

Have you ever experienced something and you thought "O my heck, I can't believe this, I have to text so-and-so and tell them that this just happened"? Or like found something and been like, "Holy snap, this-person would think that this is so funny that I just found this?" Well have you ever found a cat hair on your jacket and thought "O, my heck, Minnie {cat #1} would think it's nice that I thought of her, I should text her!" hmmm I worry sometimes.
