Time Flies When You're Having Fun

...which is why this week as been DRAGGING on. OK, I'm having fun being at home, but when a cruise is around the corner...home can seem a little boring. What I have done since I've been home: eat, sleep, visit friends/family, saw Billy Elliot, eat, sleep, church on Sunday, Michael's family birthday dinner, eat, sleep, worked out (once haha), errands with mom, and you guessed it...eat, sleep. There have been some exciting moments but the other moments...I wonder if my clock moves backwards! (Tootsie agrees hence the email from her today: "4 more days and we cruise, but I miss your blog...makes time pass quickly!!")

Not sure what the Internet situation will be on the cruise, but I'm going to write a blog a day with pictures so that all you blog readers can be very jealous :) Well, it's really just so I can remember haha. Hope everyone is having a relaxing holiday filled with fun. Don't want time to drag on :)

Let It Go

Bored? No...Board!

There was a possibility, starting at the beginning of my week, to go snowboarding on Wednesday. Brighton was having a "buy 1 get 1 free" night pass and my friend Ben was trying to get some people to go. I wasn't planning on going, but I came home after class to find Andrew in my apartment with all his snow gear on..."Ya comin'?!" After contemplating for a little I actually decided to go...probably the best decision of my week. It was just me, Ben , and Andrew--three musketeers. Haha. It was so much fun...little weird being on my board again in a few months, but I got back into it fairly quickly. I'm SO excited for the season to get going and for snow to start falling! :)

2 classes (ones a party!)

4 finals

Bahamas. There's a light at the end of the tunnel!

Warm Weather

It was a wopping (sp?) 10 degrees this morning when I left to go to class. Can I just say that I am not ready for this! Yeah for snow up in the mountains to go boarding, but can it be a tropical island here on campus? Speaking of tropical weather...in 3 weeks I will be here:

Nassau, Bahamas

Grand Turk

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas

Man, I can feel that warm weather already! :) Thanks to the best grandparents in the ENTIRE WORLD we will all set sail on the Carnival Destiny the day after Christmas!!

Until then I have:

-1 last physics assignment

-1 midterm (just finished my last paper woohoo!)

-5 more classes (2 days)

-4 finals

I can totally do it!

PS. Pandora station: "Michael Buble (Holiday)"= the best. period.

Happy Tuesday!

Basil Pesto

We all know that I love cereal. 99% of my breakfast meals (some lunches and dinners) in my lifetime have been cereal. Lunch has always been the tricky meal for me. I grew up on turkey sandwiches and yes, they are great, but the can get old. Especially, when you are a cheap collage student and can't buy the good, fresh deli meats. Anywho, I have found my new lunch addiction. Basil Pesto! For the next two weeks I will be having cereal for breakfast and some sort of pesto dish. It is so darn yummy!

Keep listening to that Christmas music blog readers!

Happy Monday :)

PS. Exactly two months left of being a teenager. 20's here I come!

Joseph's Lullaby

This song is the first song I play after Thanksgiving. It is one of my favorite Christmas songs and it has such a powerful message. A parents love for their children is something I have not experienced yet, but I know when I do it will be more than I can imagine. Let us all remember what Christmas is all about.

Christmas Music

IT'S FINALLY HERE! Everyone is now allowed to listen to Christmas music and I will not get mad at you. In fact, I'm currently listening to this joyous song:

Mom and I sorted through all of our decorations and donated a ton to Good Will. She's all happy that our garage is less cluttered. Christmas lights are up in the front. Hopefully, the inside will get done tomorrow. Listening to Delilah on 97.1 just makes me so happy (even if they do cheat and start before Thanksgiving). Anyone know of a Christmas radio station in Utah?? 

Speaking of Utah, I'm excited to go back this year. Don't get me wrong, I am soaking up all the time I have at home, but I won't be as sad to leave this year. I'm going to finish out the semester strong (I hope) and hopefully hit the slopes!

Happy beginning-of-the-Christmas-season everyone!
