It's been busy....

It has been a busy month, so sorry for making you wait! Finals week begins is this week and before I get too caught up in the stress of that, I thought I would update you all on this last month. It has mostly just been school and fun here at the dorms since I last posted, but I also got to go home for Thanksgiving break! It was great to be home and to spend time with my awesome family and friends! I also got to meet my new cousin baby Nate! It was great to be home and all that, but it was nice to return to school. It wasn't as hard coming back this time as it was last time! After thanksgiving there was only three weeks until the semester ended, which meant only three more weeks with two of the greatest guys. So of course we have had some more awesome adventures in those couple weeks! (Don't worry, I still focused on school Dad!) The first of these great adventures was the Yule Ball! EEEEK It was awesome and so fun! For those of you uncultured swine who don't know what the Yule Ball is, read Harry Potter! It's in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, but just read them all! So since this is from Harry Potter, you could either dress nice/formally or dress as your favorite Harry Potter character!!! My friends and I all dressed up as characters and looked awesome!!! I went as Bellatrix Lestrange, Kaylee was Hermione, Dylan was Draco, Taylor was Dobby, and Miriam was Professor Trelawny!!!! It was great and we looked awesome!!!!!!! That was on December 1, 2012. Last week we just hung out as usual, having late night talks in the stair well, going to get ice cream, "misunderstanding" each other about dinner...you know, the usual! This weekend was our last weekend all together before the break and before the boys move out. So, of course, we made it great! Friday night we went to the free gymnastics showcase, then went to an improv show from Off The Cuff. Since that only got done at midnight, we weren't tired so we went and played at Discovery Park until 1:00 am. Since we still weren't tired, we played cards in the elevator! It was fun! Saturday we started off the day by going to do baptizims for the dead at the St. George temple! It was a great way to start the day and spend time together! After the temple, we went to this trampoline place called Antigravity! That was fun, but we realized that we aren't as young or as in shape as we used to be...but we still had lots fun! We got back to Cedar around 4:45 and I took a quick power nap before dinner. After dinner and a quick Walmart trip, we went and saw A Christmas Carol on the Air that was put on my SUU. It was really good and pretty funny! When that was over we had hot chocolate and just hung out, watching SNL and getting henna tattoos! It was a fun day that I got to spend  with some of my greatest friends. I sure am going to miss them when they leave, but I am so happy that they have decided to serve the lord as full time missionaries! Picture time! Warning, these may seen random and insignificant, but they all came from fun memories so suck it up!
 There was this random, awesome parade here in Cedar!!! We met Gingy!!!
