Christmas Morning


Because Allison, Ari and Tom did not arrive in Corpus until Christmas, we celebrated Christmas morning on the 26th. We set our stockings out on the porch waiting for Santa to come. Then we opened our Christmas presents inside. This year I had my mom for secret Santa and she had me! I made her an apron and bought her a Dr. Oz book she wanted. She gave me money for my iPod fund. The babies had so many presents to open and probably played with every gift before the break was over.

Christmas in Corpus Christi



For Christmas this year we all traveled to Corpus Christi to be with my Grandparents. It was jammed pack with family fun activities! We first stopped in San Antonio to see the Alamo before going on to Corpus. I was so excited to see Lincoln and Ari play with each other. By the second day, Lincoln finally gave Ari a hug. They are so precious! They were both pretty obsessed with Miss Kitty. They would call for the kitty by saying "mow! mow!"

Finals Finals Finals!

It's the last week of the semester, which means that my extra time is/should be spent studying & preparing for finals. This semester half of my finals have been projects, and the other half have been tests. I have a test today, and one paper to turn in. After today I will only have one more test to take! So far I have felt pretty confident in my grades for all my classes. Hopefully this semester's GPA will be high and help to bring up my overall GPA!! This was a good semester! I had good teachers and great classes. School seems to get better and better the more I have a chance to choose the classes I really want to take (as opposed to the BYU general courses...ugh!).

I'm getting so excited for Christmas! Also, now that Andrew isn't working out of town, he is coming to Texas with me! I can't wait to go to Corpus Christi and see all of my lovely family members! Especially Ari! (no offense Allison, Kathleen, Mommy, or Daddy, or whoever reads this) I just can't wait to see how much he has grown since I left him in August! He and Lincoln just seem to be growing out of control! I cannot believe they are both almost two years old! And I'm totally excited to see the two together! Perhaps now they are both old enough to want to play with eachother! cute!

Well, I suppose I have put off taking this test long enough....

My Wish Came True!

Snow Today!

Am I still in Utah?


So up until yesterday it had not snowed at all here in Provo!! This is such a shock because last year it practically snowed year round! Anyway, yesterday I walk out of my 10am class to gentle drizzling snow! The strange part about this was that I was actually excited to see the snow. I was giddy, even! It all the sudden seemed to become more Christmasy! Although, the snow didn't fall for very long, or stick to the ground, it was wonderful! I then awoke this morning hoping that by chance it had snowed all night and covered the ground and everything else with white fluffiness! (But it hadn't...) Anyway, this winter season is baffling to me for two reasons:

1. It hasn't REALLY snowed here yet

2. I can't wait for it to snow!

(snowmen, sledding, and hot chocolate - OH MY!)
