I went on an awesome jog/run this afternoon. Then, went to FHE, where we played volleyball. Haha it was a blast! Then, I came home, and saw this pitiful "Out of Order" vending machine. How sad... poor thing...
After a wonderful Sunday dinner at the Gill's house (they sent me back with some legit honey from the bees they have), I went to the Stake Relief Society Conference where they talked about receiving personal revelation. It was so spiritually uplifting! Then, I spent some time with Lauren, Rylie, Aspen, Kelsi, and Maggie. I love these girls so much, and am so thankful to have them in my life :)
After my CNA Course (8am - 2:30pm every Saturday), I went to the BYU Basketball game with Jessica (she is so awesome!). We sat in front of the Banana man, and didn't get on the big-screen the whole time... until the end! Mission Accomplished!! Oh, and we won. That was cool too :)
Went to the BYU Men's Volleyball game with a group of kids from my ward. We won! That's whats up!
Then I went to our Intramural Inner-Tube Water Polo game, where we pulled in a dramatic TIE!! (32-32). And I pulled in the final score! Our team hasn't won a single game, but every game we play, we make the point gap between us and the winners smaller and smaller. And just in time for the tournament, we broke even! It was such a big deal, we took a Victory Pic. Behold the almost-winners.
Alyssa and I found free tickets to go see the new movie, Unicorn City (it's supposed to be like Monty Python and Napoleon Dynamite) tonight! The night before it officially comes out! I took Joey and she took her friend Sam. It was super fun!! We got to meet some of the cast there, and met the guys who make Kid History. Then after the movie, we went to Chipotle. It was AWESOME
Amanda and I bought our ticket to the Hunger Games together!! We are going at 12:03am with a few of the other ladies. We still have no idea what we are going to wear... (yes, we are already thinking about that... we plan ahead!) SO EXCITED!!
Then I went and played an awesome game of pool with these fine gentleman :)
Wanting a movie night, these beautiful ladies and I watched Knight and Day. Literally one of my top 5 favorite movies... Love it!! :D
Yes, I gave in....
Sunday evening, Alyssa and I went on a lovely walk up and around the Provo Temple! It is so beautiful, and we feel blessed to have it so close! We had wonderful discussions, and this girl is amazing!! I love her :)
Since we had a 3-day weekend, Emily invited 8 of us up to her house in Bountiful! It was absolutely beautiful! Her Grandma took all of us to Texas Roadhouse for dinner, and I (of course), ordered myself a lovely medium rare steak. Yes. That is how it's done, folks.
And here are the men making us some Kool Aid...
Ironic... Yesterday, my picture was an empty mailbox. And now, it is a letter I received from my friend, Elder Dean Patten, out in Russia!! Doesn't it look so awesome??? It's all colorful and decorated :) He is doing wonderful, I was so happy to hear from him!!
Well... I didn't really take a picture of anything today... So here is a picture of our empty mailbox...
Today in Book of Mormon, we talked about Moroni (probably my favorite Book of Mormon prophet) and the Title of Liberty. My teacher brought in something he had that probably looked exactly like the actual Title of Liberty- even the language (Egyptian) on the flag!! It says "In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children." SO COOL. I loved it :)
Happy Valentine's Day!! :D Today was a pretty great day! I got my magenta-ish colored TOMS, and they fit great! And I have my lovely rose there, which I am attractively kissing... And I got a letter from David!! Nice timing, bestie ;) And to top it all off, I went on a run with Jessica afterwards. And then watched the Wedding Planner with the ladies (more proof that I still don't like chick-flicks... but thats ok!)
After weeks of waiting, Lauren finally got a letter from her missionary in Paraguay!! Wohoo!!
In honor of Valentine's Day, I bought myself a rose. Because I love flowers :) LOVE them so much, they make me so happy!!
We woke up this morning to a wet snowfall. Finally some snow!! It wasn't the storm I've been waiting for, but it made for a beautiful Sunday! Then later that night, Xanny painted our nails for Valentine's Day :) Mine were painted red, with the ring finger hot pink. Beautiful!
After my CNA course, I went to the BYU Basketball game with Adam, and his sister and her date! It was so awesome- he got some VIP tickets from his grandpa. We got catered Tucano's before the game, then little snack boxes under our seat (which was four rows up), and at halftime, we delighted ourselves with a chocolate fountain and plethora of snack foods!! It was so great! Oh yeah, and we won the game :)
Then later that evening, Kelsi Lauren Maggie and I made little microwave chocolate nutella cakes in mugs that was just a little piece of heaven! Then Maggie amazed us with her chocolate-dipped strawberry skills.
This lovely little bunch went to see "The Vow." It was... cute... But it just confirmed to me that I don't like chick-flicks :P Fun to hang out with the ladies, though! Afterwards, we went to Roll It Up! It's a delicious little crepe joint
I got a dark chocolate and mixed berry crepe called the Honeymoon. oooh...
Then, for Lars' birthday, a huge group of us went Classic Skating!! :D It was crazy fun!
I just love these girls :) Amongst many others!!
Today held a momentous occassion for me! I actually had a quote of mine make it on the infamous Quote Wall of the Taylor 1100 Hall! It's the purple one right in the corner :) It reads: "I know her intimately, but not on purpose!" ...speaking of my roomate Lauren :)
Went to the temple today with this gorgeous lady! It was really great to spend some time here, especially with Desi! Had some good Gospel-talk, and may or may not have shared embarrassing stories and hilarious memories about our bestest friend, David, who is serving a 2-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Cochabamba, Bolivia. He's been gone for a whole 6 weeks today!
For Christmas, my Mom gave me a new running outfit! However, I had to switch out the shirt size. So today (yes, I procrastinated), I went to Koh'ls to exchange it, but had to get a whole new outfit because they didn't have that shirt anymore :P So here is my new outfit! YES.
I bought a pair of TOMS online from Nordstrom last week, and I got them yesterday, but they were the wrong size! FOILED! So I took them to the Nordstrom up the street and ordered a half size larger. They should get here next week.
I got this huge amazing flower for myself last week. I LOVE FLOWERS!!! So much, they make me so happy :) However, it died today. I had to throw it away. But here is a picture of it before that :)
Today was Stake Conference! Since the guys had meetings that started at 10, Emily suggested that some of us make breakfast for some of them! So we had a delicious morning feast of cinnamon rolls, bacon (yes), eggs, juice, and chocolate banana bread (yes). It was great!
For dinner, I went to the Gill's gorgeous house! Here is the sunset we saw out their back door. What a stunning view! And we played Squeak (their version of it). I'm going to have to practice more... Then I watched the tail end of the Super Bowl. Wohoo!
Lauren and I decided to share our Chinese deliciousness with some of the other fine ladies in our hall, and these are the remains. We somehow started playing "Great Depression"??..... Yeah haha so that was fun :)
Then a few hours later, Adam and I went with Johnny-Boy and Hailey to the Happy Sumo. Probably my new favorite restaraunt. Look at that SUSHI!! It's beautiful, and it tasted amazing :)
A bunch of our family and friends were in town for the Miche Conference in SLC, so my grandparents invited me to go to dinner at the Mandarin with them! I brought my lovely roomate, Lauren with me, and we dined on a plethora of delicious Chinese food! I got to hang out with the family, and see my mother again. That was great :) She is awesome! And the best part?? The Mandarin is my Dad's favorite restaraunt, and we ate there... without him... on his birthday...
My Inter-Mural Inner-Tube Water Polo Game!! My Ultimate Frisbee team from the Summer and Fall decided to join forces once again to dominate the water. It has yet to happen *cough*cough, but every game, we're getting closer! 
My friend Adam had a haircut that needed some fixing. He is pickier about fixing his hair than I am! But I offered to help and he somehow trusted me (not by the looks of this picture, but trust me- he trusted me!). I walked to his place after my Anatomy Lab and fixed his lovely locks while he sat on a chair in the shower. It was a success!
