Birthday Surprises :)

So, I know my birthday isn't until tomorrow, but I've already had tons of presents :)

During Thanksgiving Break, my mom made me a cake, and I got my presents.

And yesterday, my roommates took me to Texas Roadhouse.  I got free ice cream, strawberry lemonade and I had to ride on the saddle haha.

And then my roommate bought me "The Help" and we watched it and played Five Crowns (which I won).

And then today, I got a package from my mommy with cards, money, croutons, and Christmas cd's :)

I have such amazing friends and family :) And it's not even my birthday yet!!!

ROAD TRIP!

So, my roommate Lexi has a brother, who has a band haha.  So yesterday, we spontaneously decided to go watch them in Battle of the Bands, at 8 o'clock at night, in Provo.  Forget studying for finals!

But we had a really fun trip filled with singing, talking, random grocery store pit stops, and indie rock clubs.  By the way, his band was AMAZING!!

Their name is Thesaurus Rex, and you can look them up on facebook if you don't believe me :)
Lexi's Brother's Band :)

We took pictures, but I haven't had time to get them up here yet.  Hopefully soon!

19 Days!!

Deck the Halls!

Seeing as how I took down all the Halloween decorations and put up Christmas ones on Nov. 1st, I thought I'd show you some of my festive decorations.

These are only a small of part of the decorations my roommates and I have spread throughout the apartment.  But I think we can all agree that I have gotten a little more crafty since coming to college :)

Devotionals

So, obviously, the gospel is an important part of the Christmas season.  Church today helped me reflect on the blessing Christ has been on my life.  And tonight, after a delicious dinner prepared by my roommates, we get to watch the 1st Presidency Christmas Devotional.  I hope you all get the chance to watch it and remember the true meaning of Christmas :)

Christmas Miracles!

Today, I decided to tackle one of the hardest parts of the holiday season, Christmas shopping.  But while I was engaging in the endeavor, three Christmas Miracles surprised me!

First, I was able to get everyone's presents (excluding my dad.  If you have any suggestions let me know)
Second, I didn't get in a wreck in the parking lot full of mass loads of shoppers.
And third, I found this gem in my wallet that I had completely forgotten about.

Good Luck on your shopping!!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

Even the weather has decided to jump in on this December action.  Here are the beginnings of the second real snow fall we have had all year:

It doesn't look like much, but no worries the snow is still working on it.  In case you're wondering, sitting by the fire with my roommates and watching the snow is a quite lovely way to spend the afternoon :)
