The Greatest Christmas Present...
I am having so much fun here in Utah for Christmas vacation and I will post more about it later, but for now I just want to talk about the greatest Christmas present. I got to talk to Grant on webcam. He is so stinkin cute! I miss him so much and time flew by as I was talking to him. He is so wonderful. It was the best christmas present ever to get to talk to my missionary. I love him.

Life Back Home
Since arriving home in Utah, I have been busy busy busy. I have been catching up with old friends, going to all of Janelle and Louisa’s recitals, hanging out with the family, and working. I just want you all to know that working at Nordstrom is amazing! I absolutely love it. My manager is so sweet too.
Tonight Rob, Janelle, Louisa, Mom and I were all sitting in the family room and mom out of nowhere broke into a crazy mood. She started telling us stories about her childhood. It was absolutely hilarious. We were all rolling on the floor laughing. I have just decided that I have the world’s craziest mother. End of story.

Semester Ends
I made it through my third semester of college. I am so stinkin excited. I managed to pull all A’s and a B in my biology class. The end of this semester was rather sad. Usually I am stoked to be leaving Rexburg/school/roommates to go home for a little break, but this was not the case this semester. I loved all of my classes, professors, my class schedule, the beautiful fall weather, and my many new friends. I felt empty inside as I left my last class of this glorious semester. Oh I have a story…
So Rob and I were supposed to pack, clean our apartments, check out and leave Rexburg on Saturday the 13th. Well on Friday the 12th I was lying in bed at about 9:00 am watching the TV Guide channel and the weather came on. The weatherman said there was a winter snow storm advisory from Friday evening to Wednesday the 17th. Well me being my winter-phobic self jumped out of bed and called Rob. He too had heard of the blizzard that was moving in. we knew we had to leave Rexburg ASAP.
To make a long story short I had to take my literature final, pack for one month, clean my bedroom, clean and pack up the kitchen, pass my clean check, and check out of my apartment in less than 3 hours. Rob also had to take a final, pack up all of his stuff, clean his room and apartment and pass his clean check. I have no idea how we did, but we did. And the good news is we beat the storm. The roads were perfectly clear. The bad news, it has not stopped snowing in Rexburg. My friend Betsy is still up there waiting for the weather to calm down so she can get home.
Okay so, moving on…
Saying goodbye to my roommates was very depressing. I loved all five of my roommates. When Lauryn came to say goodbye to me she broke into tears. She will not be back next semester because she got a job at Disneyworld. Saying goodbye to Steph was sad too. She is moving to Logan to get married. My other roommates I will see next semester though! Well I guess it is time to close this chapter in my life and start on a new chapter. With all that being said, all I have to say is…I loved fall 2008 semester.

Lying in Bed Thinking....
Right now I am lying in my very comfortable bed just thinking. I have two weeks left in this semester and I still have to: write two reflective literature essays, read 15 talks about the Atonement, write a 4 page paper about the Atonement, read 6 English articles and then write a page summary for each one, I have to take a biology final, a literature final, and I have to complete 10 pages in my wellness workbook. Why do I procrastinate? Why am I lying in bed writing on my blog when I could be doing homework?
Now just a little update on my life… About a month ago I got a job at the Buckle. I enjoy working there and I love the 40% discount I get on the clothing there, But it is a ½ hour drive to work, the shifts are at least 8 hours and in order to keep my job I have to stay in Idaho over the Christmas break. Why oh why did I take this job? Well after much contemplation and a few unexpected events that happened in my life I quit and will be going home over the Christmas break. Luckily, Nordstrom has offered me a job for the two weeks before Christmas. I am excited to be home for the Holiday season!
