Catching up

I guess I am over due for a post, it has almost been a month. Life right now is just peachy. I am only taking 11 credits so I have a lot of time on my hands. I did have 14 but last week I withdrew from my Elementary Number Theory class. It was a nightmare and I am sad to say I was not quite ready for it. So I will take it again in a year and hopefully by then I will have enough math background for everything to make sense. So with my new found free time I cook more, I am typing my journal, I started reading the third Eragon book, and I don't do my HW! :)
My goal for tomorrow is to actually get out of bed at 6:30 (or 7) and go running. I miss being able to sleep well and the solution to that problem it to exhaust myself and I have full confidence that getting up early and running will do just that.
This past week was amazing! I taught my first math lesson to REAL Jr High kids, I had my first job interview, and I planed out the classes I need to take for the next three semesters and now I know for sure that I will be able to get my teaching degree in three years! If everything works out the way I have planed I will graduate in May of 2011! :D That makes me really happy
I cannot wait for spring break and I am so excited to go home and see my family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think that is about it...

SNOW!!!!

I was told I needed to post more so I am going to try but I am not making any promises. Today is snowed and snowed and snowed!!!!! It was crazy! We are all hoping for a snow day tomorrow which would not be too beneficial to me cause I only have one class. :( I have decided that there is nothing more beautiful than untouched snow! It is so beautiful, it reminds me why I decided to move up here. My roommates and I went sledding today, it was cold and hot and wonderful all at the same time. I don't think I have ever been so hot and so cold at the same time. We all got home and were covered in snow and all ready to go to bed. But we are still up watching movies eating popcorn, like we do every night!!!!

SOOO MUCH SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could not believe how much show was on me beanie by the time I got home! It was completely covered in snow and ice!

Grapefruit Diet

Yesterday we found out that we might be getting another roommate!!! We are all so excited to have a new friend and have less rent to pay! :) That was the highlight of my day yesterday, except we still don't know for sure. I am so tight on money right now, books are killing me and until my first paycheck comes in I am not going to have much money for anything. My budget breakfast had become home made granola and Grapefruit. :) Mom sent me up with a whole box of grapefruit and so did Lindsey. I just hope my roommates and I can eat them before they all go bad! :D

Oh and this is really funny I just thought I would share it with everyone. I took a whole bunch of picture one night right before I went home for winter break. I was just sitting on the couch looking through them and Anne was very interested in what I was doing. She was sitting next to me and when I got to this picture of Jerah she tried to do the same pose. It was so darn cute! Then later Rachel wanted to join in the fun so I got one of her too. Once again those girls are way to cute....I hope that won't get them into trouble when they are old enough to start breaking hearts. :P

Winter Wonder Land

OH MY GOODNESS! There is so much snow in Flagstaff! I can't even believe it! there are piles and piles of snow on the side of every rode and sidewalk. I was so shocked when mom brought me up here on Friday. The weirdest part about it thought is that during the day it is warm. I question my sanity when I sit down in my smoldering classes wearing long selves. You think with the snow it would be colder but you thought wrong!

It makes me laugh that so many things are just buried in the snow! There is something else buried right next to the picnic table and Jerah and I can not figure out what it is! I guess we will just have to wait till spring to find out! And I laugh at who ever owns this car. Poor poor things. :) I took that picture on Sunday and it is still like that. I guess they decided it just wasn't worth the trouble.

In other news... I started classes yesterday. 3 Math classes(Modern Geometry, Differential Equations and Elementary Number Theory), 2 Education classes and a Liberal Studies. I really hope I will be able to survive the next 4 months. It has recently been reaffirmed to me that an education is expensive. It is ridiculous that I have to pay for the classes and then pay for the textbooks. How is anyone supposed to be able to pay for all that on their own?!?!? It is a conspiracy!

This is Jerah and I on the first day of classes at the bus stop on our way to our 9:1o classes

I also didn't write anything about Christmas or New Years, just like everyone else.
Christmas was great fun and it even lasted for a week. The highlight of my New Years was the party with Lindsey and her kids. We all got sparkly hats, masks and horns, we drank sparkling cider and tooted our horns at 7:00! :D Those girls are so adorable!
The most adorable picture ever!!!! I just love that Annie has food all over her face, it really adds something to it.

Gifts and Mountian Dew

This week one of my roommates left and to go down to the valley so we had a Secret Santa exchange and...a wild drinking party! :D I will explain.

This is my beautiful present I got from Whitney. Everyone else got/gave small presents like candy and socks, but Whitney gave me a set of pots and pans! It was pretty awesome. I didn't complain! :)

So this was my first experience with Mountain Dew. Jerah got the bright idea of taking shots of Mountain Dew and then it just evolved from there. We ended up playing Kings cup. My roommates were so shocked that I had never had Mountain Dew that they tried as hard as they could to make me get to drink more! And ironically by the end instead of bouncing off the walls I was ready crash.

To roommates and highly caffeinated drinks (in place of alcohol)...Cheers!

MORE PICTURES!

K...This picture is super cute! I couldn't pass up posting this one. Every single one of them are makings the most adorable faces!!! :D

These next ones are just a little glimpse into my C-R-A-Z-Y college life! :) Except I was home when I took all these.....

All the rest are pictures taken during the incredibly boring Lillywhite reunion. Elise, Julia, and I went snap happy and just took a whole bunch of pictures! It was really fun :) But Grandma's couch was not a very good back ground though! :D

SO, I have jsut decided that Julia is the cutiest little girl ever. She is going to be a heart breaker!

These one were a few hours later and the reunion was STILL going on. Jeni and I were tired of being around so many people we didn't know and couldn't stand the nasty enchiladas, so we took Brittny and Karl with us and snuck away to McDonald's. We all had hot fudge Sundays and we played on the play place...and they didn't even kick up out!!!!!!!!!!! :P

All I have to say about these is that Jeni is SOOOO Pretty and the Brittny turned out so much cooler than Myrna but, that is not to hard to do! (I know I'm a horrible person)

PICTURES!!!

Since I got back to Flag last night it seems like all I have done is look at the 300 some odd pictures I took while I was home. I am so excited...I am just starting to figure out the best way to edit photos. So I decided that this post should be all about pictures. :D

It was soooooo weird to watch Afton get married. But she is happy and they are a really cute couple; what else can you ask for?

I was very surprised at how calm Afton was the whole day. She was just like, "yep I want to spend the rest of eternity with Sean" :D

Oh! Look how cute we are!!! ;)

Yes Daddy...I caught the bouquet! Don't worry, I don't think it really means anything. But.....

....who know, Maybe this will be me in a few YEARS! :D

I have a few more but I need to go to FHE soon so I will get around to those later!
