Merry Christmas. Love the Ho Ho Homies.

Well here they are, our Christmas card pictures in their full glory. I could seriously stare at these all day and laugh for hours.  The strand of lights got caught in just about everybody's hair and we spent half of our time de-tangling the mess. Someone looked at the pics and made the comment that my legs were probably cold....(i'm wearing pants, thank you.) Our attempt at being serious...(ashes...death...haha) It was also raining the whole entire time so our hurrs were kinda nasty after a little while. And I have figured out that my lack of a mean-muggin face is genetic. It took blood, sweat, tears, and being pulled over to get these lovelies.

enjoy,

Merry Christmas!

pictures are worth a thousand words.

Please excuse the cliche title. (I know it's way lame)  It is just so true for the following picture. 

This picture was snapped one year ago....to the week. Gill resurfaced this gem on FB this week and I literally started crying> at the lib> studying for finals> in a public place. It's fine. anyway I just really miss her.

Obviously people like completely freak out about finals. I try not to because finals week is awesome! Guys, you don't have class.  But like the whole brain overload-feeling like mush thing.  It happens. Today after my physics final I needed to take a break and just release.  background: Three weeks ago I told myself I couldn't go to Rio until after finals because it was seriously becoming a weekly thing. I figured that today was perfectly justifiable since I only have one final left. (that is right next to zero on a number line)  My perfect plan to forgetting about school was getting Rio and watching a chick flick. Perfect right? I know. Then my roommate had some weird, scary allergic reaction to the Rio and ended up in the E.R.  Ya know what, finals week is never boring that's for sure!  

Christmas miracle of the day: finding a one-dollar bill under my chair while studying tonight at the lib.  DP? don't mind if I do. 

Get well soon KY.  Rio boycott starting...NOW. actually prob not.  

Deuces 

oh, these nights (Christmas card edition)

Let me try to recreate the scene of last night in written form. I'm gonna butcher it, but I might as well try, right?

We were all gathered around the kitchen table discussing, talking, and laughing. It's pretty normal.  And then we started looking for this one wedding video that makes us laugh at this one part that only lasts 3 seconds long. So we keep rewinding it about a million times till we then happen across new wedding videos and get sucked into those and come close to tears because weddings are just so beautiful. (run-on? i'm not mad about it.)  We haven't done this in like a solid 3 months, honest, so it was much needed.

Then we went to take our roommate Christmas card picture. Eight girls piled in Ky's cute rav with our ugly Christmas sweaters, ornaments, Christmas lights, a poinsettia, glass tree and snowman while singing jingle bells loudly for all to hear.  We could still see the apt when we pulled to the side of the road with those flashing red and blue light behind us.  Amy and I were in the very back of the car and when the cop walked by he shined his flash light right on us. Clearly there was no hiding it.  The true Christmas miracle happened when the cop didn't even question the over stuffed car.  Only a burned out head light.  Did you guys know that in UT there is such thing as the soccer mom law? It really is a thing. As long as all the seat belts are being used then you can't get a ticket for having more people in the car.  OWH OWH. (baby mama anyone?)  And just in case we did get in trouble for three extra people in the car we were ready to give the officer the poinsettia. (but of course we knew we wouldn't because my friends have dads who are cops....pick your friends wisely kids!)

After tweeting the moment and reliving it again and again we finally made it to downtown Logan to take the photos.  Upon arriving my eyes zeroed in on an outlet. I ran to plug in our own strands of Christmas lights. "GIRLS, we have power!"  These pictures are going to be real good, stay tuned!

Last night was one of those nights that was truly what college is all about. Yeah we go to school and we're getting an education but being with your friends and making those memories is just as important.

hang in there, finals week is nearly upon us!
