Aerials & Basketball

Spencer & Sara gave me some great Jazz tickets last Monday. So, Michelle and I decided to go up to the Jazz game that night instead of going to the FHE ward activity. We had our own FHE, right???? I mean we are roommates afterall! It was really fun. Michelle hadn't been to a Jazz game since she was like 7 yrs. old so I'm glad that she could come with me. There were some real winners sitting in front of us that definitely kept us entertained the whole time!!

I guess Michelle and I decided to be twins and both wear gray!
Michelle was enthralled by the sports reporters!
We had pretty good seats!- Thanks Spence and Sara!!
Last Friday, the roomies (-Katie +Michelle- who is practically a roommate anyways) went up to Deer Valley for the Ski Aerial competition. I always forget what the real name of the competition is, but it was pretty cool. I couldn't believe that those people can actually land on their feet after doing all those flips. Highlights of the night included:
  • freezing to death even though we were wearing our snow clothes!
  • hiking up the mountain and feeling like the mountain was never going to end
  • sliding down the mountain on our derrieres
  • AND, best of all, seeing this wonderful pink spider faux fur coat- CLASSY!!- way to go Park City visitor- he must be a trend-setter!

AWESOME!!
I wish I had a video of these guys- a still shot doesn't do it justice!
Britt, Lindsay, Michelle, and Michelle with our frozen noses!

Christmas Break

I got to spend my Christmas break in AZ!!! I couldn't wait to get out of the cold and snow. I spent most of my vacation hanging out with family and friends, watching movies on my parents' HUGE new TV, shopping with my mom, making jewelry with my mom, sewing with my mom, and hanging out with extended family. The weather was PERFECT!!! It couldn't have gotten better. I guess the only thing that could make Christmas break better was if it was in February. By February I am so sick of the snow that I just have to go somewhere. There is no real vacation to save you from winter in February, so I guess that would be my first wish if I found a magic lantern with a genie- move Christmas break to February, but other than that, my break was incredible. Now, back to life.....back to reality.....
I took my little cousins on a "date" to lunch and then to go see Alvin & the Chipmunks the 'squeakquel'. The Chipettes doing Beyonce's 'Single Ladies' was priceless. Here is Cute Kaila and I at my parents' house after our In 'N Out lunch.
After lunch we went over to see the neighbors' llama, zebra, ponies and goats. The kids LOVED them. Joshy, Jackson, Kaila, Britt
Jax and Joshy by the llama. I told them that llamas spit and whenever he got close to the fence they would run back. :)
My Mom and I in her sewing room. I love her new cute glasses!
Stephanie and Israel by our snowman in front of our house. Lindsay and I built him and then he was murdered!!! Someone killed him 20 minutes after we finished him!!! BUT, luckily our nice friend Lane rebuilt him for us. Here is the whole story

Here are some pictures of Lindsay and I right after we finished Jack (our snowman). He was so cute!!! It took us about 2 hours to get him perfect. Then.....he was gone. Don't worry... I stole this picture from Lindsay's blog. I do things like that :)

Cute little James in his tux! Unfortunately, he had a little blowout after the blessing. But, at least it is washable!
Before heading out to the casino party for New Years. Michelle, Lynette, Lindsay, Brittany, Katie. My mom made my awesome flapper dress for me the night before I came back to Provo!
At the casino party: Chris, Matt, Brandon, Chris, Michelle, Pete, Britt, Kaity, Lindsay

School has started again and I am loving my classes so far. I am really enjoying being able to choose my own classes. I am taking mostly OB/HR classes which is my emphasis. I'm off to Denver in the morning for a last minute trip. I'll post pictures from my brief/interesting interview/company visit when I get back.
