The aforementioned snow



                well that's flattering...

Life as I know it.

I love BYU. I'm really glad I decided to come here, and really sad that I didn't decide to until this semester. There are like zero ronchy people out here! It's really crazy! And great! And boys don't have long nasty hair or saggy pants either! However, they all look the same. (Blonde spiky hair, blue eyes, and 5 feet tall.) Everyone that is, except Tim. (If you don't already know who that is, I'm not going to tell you. haha)
A list of things I've done that make me very sociable:
1. Running with Jessica and Echo. Both from Hawaii, these girls are EXTREMELY fabulous and hilarious. Echo did wrestling her senior year of high school. Jessica is very very flexible. She's the first friend I made out here.
2. Going to the mall with Jessica and Dianne. I think Dianne is from Hawaii too. Shes one of the most fashionable people I've ever met and so it was extremely intimidating going shopping with her, even though none of us bought anything. She likes sushi. And she has an extremely attractive boyfriend.
3. Playing Just Dance 3 on the Wii with Whitney (my roommate) Paige (from the athens stake!) and Paige's roomie Amanda until 2 or 3 in the morning. The first sociable thing I did actually. SO MUCH FUNNNNNN.
4. Going to The Pizza Pie Cafe with Whitney, Paige, and their friend (and now my friend) Lindsay. I feel like Lindsay and I are a lot alike. AKA she's flippin amazing. She thinks I talk like Cari (the weirdo babysitter in the Incredibles) but SHE is definitely the Cari-voiced one. She can do like 12 man push ups. And she's really funny when she's tired. :)
5. Sometime this week Whitney, Augusta (my other roomie) and I are going to some yogurt place whitney really likes. I'm excited to get to know Augusta better!!! She's really nice, but we don't really know each other that well at all... I know she's been a convert for almost 3 years, her hair used to be realllllly long, and she has a boyfriend named spencer. And she's taking ice skating as one of her classes. but that's about it.

guys it's snowing outside right at this very instant. again. there's already like 3 inches of snow on the ground that's been there since saturday night. uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuug. BUT im pretty sure this means that me and whitney and paige are all going to go sledding, plus maybe some other people.

6. I go over to beck and ben's house like 8 days a week (ha. now that song is stuck in your head. :D mwahahahah) they are awesome. And pretty much everytime I go we all watch a movie because Ben wants to make me a cultured swine instead of an uncultured swine. My favorite one we've watched so far is probably... Oceans 11? Or maybe the proposal.

I think I'm gaining weight, despite walking almost a full mile to campus everyday. and despite the mile walk back from campus every day. And despite walking AROUND the gargantuan campus everyday, to get from class to class. AND despite the huge hill at the end of my walk every day. I just don't get it.
food: (this section is mostly for mom :D) I'm great in that area. I eat lots of soup and hamburger helper. And sandwiches, both turkey (with lettuce and mustard and cheese on whole wheat bread) and peanut butter. MILK ONLY COSTS 1.91 AT THE CREAMERY! It's great. I also eat ice cream, but only after supper.

I'm going to go play in the snow now. Heres some pictures of stuff here, taken at random places:
 That picture^^^^^^^^^^^ makes me look like a smart college girl doing homework. Which I was definitely doing at the time.
 "That's a good picture I wanna copy of that."^
                                                         Awwwwwwww. They're cute.
 
                                                         We're cute too.
                                           And Trev dog is cute too.
I can't think of an ending. So... yeah. awkward

First days of Utah

Hullo! As you all know, I'm in Utah now!!! My first four days were spent with Michelle and Nate, who are very fantastic hosts. We partied it up! On New Years Eve, Nate's fam came over (his dad, mam, and sister Abbey) and we ate takeout Chinese ("which I never actually did before but kind of enjoyed") and played on the Waite's new Wii. It was especially fun to watch Grandpa play wipeout (it's just like the show). He was pretty terrible at it but it was HILARIOUS! We were ALL laughing our heads off and I almost wet my pants. Then they left and we started the movie Rango. Shell got tired and went to bed, and me and Nate stayed down to finish it. I fell asleep at 11:30 though, and Nate finished it all by his lonesome.
To make up for me and Shells lack of party attitude on NYE, New Years DAY was the real partay. After church we went over to Nate's bro Aaron's house to help Grandma watch the children (5 of them, the 6th was born that day)! We left and came home to play Ticket to Ride and Shell got really grumpy because she lost reeeeeeeally badly plus she was gassy. We drank Martenelli's (which we called "bubbly") out of wine glasses and I thought it was really gross so I only drank like 2 sips. Plus, I was kind of gassy too and I didn't want to become any bubblier than I already was. (Yeah, yeah, I know i told you guys I wasn't gassy. I lied.)
And, somewhere in there we saw temple square with all of it's lights. IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL!!! And cold.
pictures!





We're so refined. And bubbly.


Addison at breakfast. This is one awesome kid. Oh, later we went to J Dawgs where they have massive hot dogs and Nate was trying to get him to take another bite, and he screamed, "BUT THEY TASTE LIKE TRASH!!!" Then, once he noticed me laughing my head off he screamed, "THEY TASTE LIKE GARBAGE!!!" hahahahahahaha



Bryn. She is also awesome, and has fabulous pink light-up princess cowgirl boots.
