On Tuesday, March 1st, Chris and I went to the SLC REAL Soccer Team's season opener in Sandy with his parents! It was cool, I  have never been to a soccer game like that before. The crowd was way fun and it was nice to watch some good soccer. Yesterday, March 2nd, was the second to last BYU Basketball game. Me, my friend Londyn, and Griffin and his friends all sat together. The Cougars lost and it was a rough game but i think we are camping out for the game Saturday...maybe haha. should be fun!

VEGAS!

okay so this past weekend was presidents day weekend which also means it was a four day weekend! chris and i wanted to get out of provo so we took a road trip to cedar city and las vegas! it was a blast. friday afternoon we drove down to cedar city to his sister's house and made it for the last little bit of his niece's third birthday party. The rest of his family came down friday as well. Saturday we all went to this indoor water park which was actually really fun. Saturday night christopher and i headed down to vegas and let me tell you it was so cool! vegas is like no other city i've been in. We arrived at his older sister's house and then went to the strip. its amazing! sunday we also went to the strip and just saw all of the famous sites including new york, new york, the bellagio, ceasar's palace, etc. All in all it was a very fun weekend :)

these past couple of weeks have been so fun. last weekend there was alot that went on. christopher's birthday was last friday so me and him went to olive garden to celebrate...but then he has to go work at a stunting clinich for the cheer squad. Saturday was the rivalry basketball game against utah! it was so fun, especially since everyone has been obsessing over our star player jimmer fredette. i went with my friends alison, hillary, and callie, and griffin and some of his friends came too. griffin got to be a part of the half time show and won a brand new ipod. he was pretty excited. it was so much fun and of course the cougars won. sunday christopher and i went up to his parents house to actually celebrate his birthday. we got there early so while we were waiting, since it was a nice day outside, we went for a motorcycle ride. so fun. then we celebrated with dinner, cake, and gifts which was alot of fun.  Then this past week got pretty busy because there were alot of midterms.  but there was also valentines day. christopher planned a very enjoyable evening for the two of us which was so sweet and very fun :)

ragnar training

yesterday: 30 minutes
today: i intend to run 30 minutes

Ragnar Training

So, I have decided I am going to run a Ragnar Relay! I'm excited. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is basically a 2 day long relay race.  I run three times total. I got the easiest leg which I am pretty glad about because it is my first one. So I will be running 4 miles, then 3.8 miles, then 4.2 miles. I am running with some of Chris's family and friends. It's in June up in Logan Utah near Utah State University. I am going to log my training everyday!

So yesterday's training I ran: 3 miles, in 28 minutes



(please keep in mind i need to get back into running shape because it has been quite awhile since i have race haha)

hey everyone! once again sorry it's been FOREVER! lots has happened since my last post...

- finals were a killer but i got through them all! let me tell you i was SO happy the day i was finished with those. i hated last semester's classes to be completely honest.

- break was so much fun. it was great to see everyone. i pretty much spent my entire break with my family and amie and her kids. i also got to see my diving coach and teammates and my best friend from high school stacey :) i had the best time. it was hard to leave them all after a short visit.

- i came back to utah for new years and spent it with christopher and his family. On new years eve we all went over to the church to play soccer and have a nerf gun war.  It was alot of fun.

-school started up on january 4th. im taking doctrine and covenants- 2nd half, strengthening family and marriage, soccer, life planning and decision making, American sign language, and interior design...i've been enjoying it alot so far.

December 1st, 2010

HAPPY DECEMBER! ahh what a great month :) so as of today i can:
1. start wearing my Christmas bracelet
2. Start counting down the 25 days of Christmas
3. Count down til I go home to see my family! which is 16 days by the way!

But I just love the Holiday season! I love Christmas music more than you know! I love how cheery everyone is! And most of all I love the reason why we celebrate Christmas...the birth of Jesus Christ!

Thanksgiving break was fantastic! I spent majority of it with Christopher and his family. We watched the parade, lots of football, and ate a delicious meal on Thanksgiving Day. I ate probably more than I should have, but don't we all? Then Friday Chris and I tried to do some homework, but then went to the mall with his parents.  After that Me, Chris, his parents, his sister and her family, and Whitney and Griffin (my brother, not her husband) went cosmic bowling which was really fun! Then Saturday was the RIVALRY GAME! It was BYU vs. UTAH! ugh... I am quite depressed about it! Utah won by one point! They got so lucky it is not even funny! Anywho, after that Chris and I went to Whitney's apartment and had yet another Thanksgiving feast.  Here is all who was there: Me, Chris, Griffin (Adams), Whitney, Griffin (Weaver), and Griffin's brother Kellen.  All the food Whit cooked reminded me of home because the food is exactly what my Mom would cook! It was yummy and yet again, rather filling. Sunday was church and time for leftovers! Once again ate a full meal when I should not have haha! I watched the Family Stone with Chris's family and it was a way good movie. So I forgot to mention it snowed like all of break and on Sunday, it literally snowed from the time I woke up until the time I went to bed. I love the Snow! So Chris and I went sledding Sunday night, that was fun. I am so thankful for the Welcker's for letting me spend time with them! Overall, it was a very enjoyable break :)

But, today I was having a pretty stressful day so I figured I would take a break and write a new post :) So, why has my day been crazy? Well, the end of the semester is fast approaching and it is cram time! Last minute papers and assignment are all due this week and next, then its time to study for finals! GAHH! For instance my load this week includes 2 papers, a presentation, and a test....ALL DUE FRIDAY! please pray for me :) next week isn't as bad thank goodness...so I'm just hoping I survive this week!

So, 16 days until I get to visit home! Griffin and I will fly home on the 17th! I am very excited to see my family! I am also very excited to see everyone from church too! Especially Amie and her family along with Cindy and hers! I was talking to Amie the other day and she made me miss her little girl so bad! She showed me a song  called "Gracie" by Ben Folds and it reminded me of her Gracie so much! Not only because the title of the song is in fact her name but the song is about a little girl just like Grace! I posted the song too and I think anyone who knows Grace will enjoy this song :) ---> click here to hear the song :)

Well that's all I have for you right now! love you all dearly!
