FHE

FHE (Family Home Evening) is so much better when you are really with your family. I like it at college, but it's just different. Tonight we took pictures for our Christmas card. I honestly can say that we didn't mean to fall that way, but it really happened. Good times!

I'll Be Home For Christmas!

It’s so nice to be home for such a long, fun Christmas break. I’ll be home for 3 ½ weeks. That is the longest that I will be living at home until I am graduated from college and officially move back. I am going to try to have a productive few weeks and not be too lazy. I want to exercise on the elliptical (that I didn’t know my family had). I have lots of parties and friends to see. I have lots of babysitting little Lukester to do. I have to wrap all of Santa’s presents (I’m his/her elf). I have shopping to be done and lots of organizing I want to do. I also want to watch some movies with Stockton and Cabe and maybe Brynlie and Caleb as well. I am so excited to be home. It really feels like Christmas now. I love this time of year and want to spend the rest of the Christmas season with family and friends. It’s good to be home and I’m going to try to live up every moment of it.

When I'm old...

I decided this morning that when I am old and have money I NEED a garage. Okay, I don't really need one, but I really, really want one. This morning I got ready and so five minutes before I was going to drive to class I decided I should go start my car. (Usually I do it before this, but I forgot.) When I went outside it was freezing. (The high today in Rexburg is 16 degrees... brrrr!) I started my car and went out five minutes later. None of the ice had come off my car at all and scraping it wouldn't work either. It was way to frozen. So I took the keys out and began walking to campus. I don't live that far away, but it felt far today. As I was walking, I had my first encounter with "frozen nose hairs" in 2007 (since I began 2007 in Ecuador.) For those of you who haven't experienced "frozen nose hairs" it's quite the experience. See, the liquid in your nose freezes, because it's so cold. Then as soon as you get inside your nose starts running, because it isn't cold anymore. Anyways, cold days are here in Rexburg and I have a feeling it's going to be a long winter! But I am willing to take it for all you skiers and snowboarders... so... bring it on! What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger... right? And I can wait a few years for the garage. I just hope it's sometime in the future!

Finally...

You probably won't believe this, but last night I wrote a blog about our fun, family trip to Cancun! I had just uploaded pictures and my computer shut off. Don't worry, it's been doing this lately. It will just shut off in the middle of whatever I am doing. Since I have discovered it I have been saving everything to my roommates jump drive so I haven't lost any homework, but it's so frustrating. I am taking my computer in to get fixed this weekend and will hopefully have it back by next week. A little ironic that it's during finals week?! I just got a very positive, happy email... so I am going to try to do the same. I can use the schools computers or my roommates (like I'm doing now!) It's really not that bad, but I won't be able to post any pictures. At least I wrote something though! :) I going to try to keep this a habit... but we'll see!
