A Surprising Gift!

For my best friend's birthday, I drove down to St. George to surprise her!  I was planning on surprising her on Sunday up in Cedar, but it so happens that she ended up being down in St. George on Saturday, so I just decided to surprise her then and there and took her to Kneaders!! :)
Her surprised face was priceless.  I loved it!
It was a short trip, but quite fun!  And I made it back up through Fillmore before the snow storm hit which was good!!  I hope I don't have to ever really drive in snow.  It scares me.

Happy Birthday Shayna! :)

Thanksgiving

Sorry I have been slacking on blogging.

I think we were watching Seven Pounds...if you haven't seen that movie, I HIGHLY suggest it!  It's good!

Let's go back to Thanksgiving break... :) It was a rough and fun time for me, but overall a grand time. :)  I love Thanksgiving.  It's the time when EVERYONE is Thankful for things!  Even though we should be thankful year round, everyone recognizes that at least this day we should all be thankful.

Hiking with Shayna, Ryan, and Mitch!

May your stuffing be tasty

May your turkey plump,

May your potatoes and gravy

Have nary a lump.

May your yams be delicious

... And your pies take the prize,

And may your Thanksgiving dinner

Stay off your thighs!

I'm thankful for the gospel, temples, my Savior, my wonderful family, amazing friends, my kitty Sassy, the chance to further my education at a wonderful university, the joy that comes from smiling and laughing, the sun, the piano, and cookies! All the things that make me happy in life. :)

I hiked ALL the way to the TOP!  Beautiful, eh? :)

I love Thanksgiving!  It was a good break from school and a fun week! :)

♫Snowflakes That Stay on my Nose and Eyelashes♪

Last night...IT SNOWED!!!!!!!!

Of course, I went and played in it. :)

Then I decided to make snowflakes of my own!

This dude randomly picked my car to draw a face on it...now my car has personality! Check it out :)

What fun it is when the snow first comes.  I'm sure I'll be sick of it when there's feet of snow everywhere...but for now, I'm excited for it. :)

My Pro-Runner Sista! :)

Okay, so she's not Pro....yet. :) She is awesome tho and I've been able to go to a couple of her meets that were up here in Provo!! :)

Rachel finishing and beating Kaylee! - American Fork race

The first one I went to, she got 2nd place OVERALL!!!

Kaylee, Mia, Frida, Rachel, & JP - after Bulldog Invite

Then the last one, I don't what her place was (I think 3 or 4 or 5?), but she beat Kaylee, who is the fastest PV Girls Varsity Runner!  It was quite exciting! :)

Rachel soon passes Kaylee after this - last lap in American Fork Race

Rachel, you are awesome.  LOVE YOU!!! :) Good luck in Pheonix today and tomorrow! :)

God Sends No Stress That Chocolate and Prayer Can't Handle :)

To handle my stress, I go crazy with my roommates.  It lets me just stop worrying about school and just have fun.  It is the greatest!  Our most recent adventure...

we made a fort!!! :)

We watched a movie, ate ice cream and pie, and then slept in it!  It was grand :)

Held up by our broom and mop.  Hoorah. :)

I also go to devotionals to cope with my stress from school and homework.  They are great, and I'm so glad that we have them every Tuesday!

Devotional with Pres. Monson! :)

Also, the temple is a great place to just lose my stress and just think about this gospel and how thankful I am for it.  There is no greater thing in my life.  I love this gospel, and I love the temple. :)

Sometimes Life is Just Great :)

Sometimes our friends from downstairs invite us over for crazy dancing parties... :)Sometimes me and my roommates have wars...with flowers... :)Sometimes me and my roommates dress up like crazies...oh wait. We are crazy :)Sometimes we draw targets on the mirror and shoot them... :)Sometimes life is just great... :)
