Another Christmas!

I have now lived to celebrate 21 birthdays and I must admit that this one wasn't the most exciting holiday I've seen. The majority of it has consisted of watching Christmas movies and making food. Marc and I have played a countless number of rounds of King's Court with me winning 4 out of 5. Ha ha! It's a good thing Marc doesn't give up easily.
It snowed on Thursday and Friday. Dad and I went to the temple on Thursday and we only spun off the road once, so it wasn't too bad. Ha ha! But on Friday when it started to warm up, Marc and I built this snowman. Marc only rolled the first two balls and stacked them then I did all the rest. I was hoping to make a snowman like the one off the movie "The Snowman," but it didn't quite work out that way. Michelle came out just for the picture (:
And apparently we have an annual tradition of cleaning the house on Christmas eve? Well, it was news to me. Must have been a 1st annual thing. Ha ha! So I spent the majority of Christmas eve cleaning bathrooms. It was pretty fun, let me tell you!
Then if you're sitting there and all of a sudden Marc gets a cheesy grin, be prepared to be assaulted by the sounds of the cheese being cut. I think Marc has an issue with one of the Christmas goodies, because this scenario has been a common occurance. At least he isn't ashamed of the fact and takes full advantage of the the situation. I guess it's any guy's dream to have a good store of loud toots.
Yep, it's been a good Christmas (:

    He! He! I can so imagine Marc's cheesy toot grin. I did some house cleaning on Christmas Eve too. I wanted some parts of it to be clean because I knew it was going to get trashed in the morning. Sorry it was kind of a quiet Christmas for you guys. We didn't do anything extremely thrilling, but it was super fun to watch Spencer with his presents.

Comm. 150 Journal

Gee whiz, it has been several years since I personally posted anything on this blog.  I don't even know if anyone evens looks at it, but hey, that's okay. I am starting my 8th semester of university and I am taking a class where I have to keep a daily journal.  I just have to write about something that happened to me that day. I've started it on a Word document, but I had the thought that I could keep on here and share unique experiences that happen in my crazy life. So here are the ones I have done for this week so far: Comm 150 journal: Day 1: Monday, 15 Sept. 2014 When I was in my first area on my mission, Newcastle Emlyn in Wales, I had this funny zone leader named Elder Hopkinson. He was from Leeds and had a great accent. Every time he called he would always ask what the craziest thing was that had happened to us that day.  I remember feeling dumb if I didn’t have a wild story to tell him, but from then on I tried to make every day of my mission be a...

When it Rains it Pours

Day 4: Thursday, 18 September 2014 Today was my first day going to my Digital Imaging class, taught by Sis. Caryn Esplin.  I am so excited for this class. The homework is just going to be fun stuff!  I took a class last winter from Sister Esplin and she is amazing! She is my career role model. I want to be just like her some day!  When I took her class in the winter, I received several awards from her because she liked my work so well.  Today, I again impressed her as I was able to recite back every person’s name back after we all introduced ourselves. There were only about 27 kids in the class so it was easy. I just have a good memory. So I won the Bright Idea award (a light bulb jar filled with M&Ms).  Anyways, about an hour after class, Sister Esplin called me and asked me if I would like to be her TA for one of her classes! She thought I did really well in the winter and thought I would make an excellent TA.  This is the 9 th job of...

I headed to school this morning at 7:45am. I wasn't sure what the temperature was, but I realized it was in the negatives when I could feel my boogers freezing in my nose. I know it sounds gross, but you literally can feel your nose hairs become stiff as the moisture in your nose begins to freeze. It's quite the sensation. So I have my hood up to keep my ears and face warmer and there is a slight breeze, which makes it even colder! I had only been walking about 3 minutes when I noticed that the ends of my hair to my left was looking really white. As I looked closer, I realized that frost was collecting on my hair! I'm not quite sure why this happened. I had straightened my hair today, so it more dry than wet. The only thing I can think of, is that the moisture from my breath must have been collecting on the ends of my hair closest to my face. By the time I got to class I probably looked like a rendition of the White Witch with my frosted white hair. Oh the joys of Re...
