A Normal, Sit-Down Dinner!! :)

Guess what?? I actually made a Sunday-like sit-down dinner!! And you know what?? Everyone sat down together for the first time this semester and ate dinner together! :) I was so happy (and everyone else was too) to have a honest-to-goodness home-cooked meal, that we all scarfed it down pretty fast. We even made garlic toast with it! Let me tell, you, that meal was the BEST meal I've had in a while! Yeah for normal food!! :)Sorry, this is a kinda blurry picture, but at least it isn't all turned around where you are breaking your neck to try and look at the picture... :) like other pictures I have posted that I could mention. This is what the kitchen looked like tonight.
This was an earlier picture that I took before I made the toast. Believe me, that was one of the most satisfying meals I've eaten in a LONG TIME! MMMM, MMMM!

Swimming

Hey! Momma wanted me to post a picture with my swim cap on from the Spartans. I decided to post the silly picture first since that one was the funniest. The green cap is for our Spartan-green colors, and our emblem is on the side of the cap for the swim meets. I hope you enjoy the pics! :)
I got a profile shot so that you could see our SPARTANS emblem on the side. :) I think it's funny that I'm in the Spartans group, because my high school mascot was the Trojan...lol, it's funny how things turn out. :)
And that's pretty much all, folks! I'm not getting as dizzy at workouts anymore (I was getting dizzy for a while because of the altitude, I think). Yea for the weekend!!!

Welcome to the 80's!!

Welcome to the 80's!!! Sorry that the pictures are kinda turned around, I always forget that you can't rotate them when you blog the pics, so they're always kinda messed up. However, last night we had a ward Halloween Party, and our FHE family dressed up as people from the 80's, but Darci wanted to be a Ninja, so that's what she went as instead. I talked to Kristie before we left for the ward party, and she said to have big hair, and tightroll my pants (since that's what they did in the 80's), so I kinda tightrolled my pants here, and put my hair up in a big, poofy side ponytail for the party. I had my make-up done by Mandi (you probably can't see it...thank goodness...but I have rainbow colored eyeshadow), and Sydney rolled my shirt I borrowed from her, and I also borrowed her big headphones, since they told me that looked 80's too. Here we all are before we left!
Sorry the picture of Sydney and Mandi are kinda blurry, but we were taking pictures fast before we left, and this is the best that I got.
And here's the picure of Darci in her Ninja costume. She loves Anamae, and all that kind of stuff, so this is what she had decided to be before our FHE group decided to go as people from the 80's. Doesn't she look like a true Ninja? :) Here she is striking a pose for a fighter Ninja.

:) A Little Late, But What A Day! :)

I'm sorry that this is coming so late to all of y'all.I have been doing a ton of homework, and bogged down with schoolwork lately, but I should have done this WAY before now.

I had such a FANTASTIC time this past weekend when Jenny and Logan came over! I learned how to play Guitar Hero, and I LOVED hanging out with my favorite cousin, hehe! We laughed SOOOOOO much, more than almost anything else, I think! :) It was great being with family for a while, even if it was only for the weekend. We spent pretty much all of Friday evening together, and then most of Saturday, and a couple of hours on Sunday together, and it really helped with the homesickness. We took some crazy-looking pictures, and Jenny sent me some to blog, but being the naturally LAME person that I am, my blog is of course NOT WORKING enough to let me post the pics that she sent me to take the place of the pics that I forgot to take this past weekend. Sorry! I'll try again later and see if they will post sometime in the near future!! :( Oh well! Technology........you can't live without it, and you almost can't live with it...sigh. I miss you guys! I hope that everyone is doing as good as I am (actually, I hope everyone else is doing better...I have a TON of homework to do...) :) I love you!!

More Snow Pictures!










This is what my world looks like right now. I hope that you enjoyed looking at my posts! I'll be sure to keep you updated! It started snowing who knows what time last night, and has pretty much let off by now, and is starting to melt little by little. But we still got around one and a half to two inches of snow!!

I Got Mail!

Yeah!!! I went to the downstairs lobby today to check the mail (I usually check it every day for my apt.), and lo and behold, there was a LETTER in my mailbox!! I couldn't believe it! I looked at the envelope, and not only was it just mail, but it was addressed to ME! I walked very quickly back to my dorm room, and opened it up. Inside was this cute card from Steven, Amanda, and Pierce. It mad my day! I have been starting to feel rather homesick lately, and this cheered me up so much! I love it when I get mail! This is my first Official Mail of the semester! I thought that I would post a picture of the letter and how cute it was so that you guys could all see my little miracle. Thanks Amanda and Steve!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Isn't the card so cute?? I sure like it!!! Yeah for mail!! :)
