Why do we water the snow?

This morning I was walking to school and the sprinklers were watering the snow. I laughed, I slipped on the ice it created and then kept walking to class.
Yesterday was pretty fun. My uncle Nate has this sweet camera that is amazing....I love it....there are not enough words to describe the sweetness....I am nearly speechless about the sweetness of this camera. I loved the was it felt in my hands and the clicking sound it made when I took the pictures and the fact that it was a camera and now I covet the sweet camera. So he let me play with it and so I thought I would post some of the pictures I took. The majority of them were of baby Tyler because he is so cute! Hope you enjoy because I sure did.

Spring Break Fun!!!

I don't have a spring break but Jennifer did so she came up for two days to hang out
go to class with me!!!
So these are our pictures of our two days together!!!

This is on our way to my first class,
we walked in the rain and saw some ducks.
This is Jen and I at Rock Canyon Park having a
picnic and watching some little kid soccer games.

This is Jen playing at the JFSB.

We are on top of the JFSB checking out the view.

It was an amazingly gorgeous day!!!

We went to the bookstore and got her a BYU soccer shirt
and then went to the museum to check out some sweet art before class.

Yay for happiness!

So yesterday I was really craving the candles. They are so marvelous and so I went and bought a candle holder and candles that smell heavenly to put in them. Now our apartment smells wonderful all the time.
So on Friday night I went to the late show of 27 dresses at the dollar theater. It was really fun and here is why...for starters it was 25 cents. That was pretty amazing, I felt like I was in the 50's or 60's and after the movie I could go to an ice cream parlor in my poodle skirt and get a fudge sundae for like a quarter. It was really cool. The next reason why it was pretty amazing is that the movie was so good! Not like it will my cinematic history or get an oscar or anything but it was just one of those fun, feel good (most of the time) movies. It was funny, cute, had a hot guy a happy ending and apparently all the ingredients for a good chick flick. You never know, I may go see it again.
My family is on spring break this week so I definitely intend on spending time with them....between my classes. Also this is my last week of work! Yay for no longer washing pots and touching other people's half eaten food. Life is good. :)

The Good Day

Hola! I have such a good feeling that today is going to be marvelous! I went to class early so I would have more time to do my homework and then....I found out that my first class today was canceled! So now instead of one hour I have three! Life is good. Also stake conference was this weekend, I got my temple recommend renewed, I ate the good stir-fry and had a brownie for breakfast.....so things are definitely looking up. :) I love the breakfast brownie, it is wonderful and if I burp I can still taste it. That is not as wonderful but definitely a good reminder. :)

wh-wh-what a day

I'm not quite sure what happened today but I'm pretty sure there have been things that have been much more pleasant. Due to my hardworking nature my working partner and I work to fast and finish earlier than anyone ever. Due to this I have a very acute lack of funds. Funds are needed, funds are necessary, funds I do not have. Also at work tday I realized that I only have 5 working days left, meaning that in two-and-a-half weeks my income of minimal funds will be non-exsistant. So I began frantically job searching today. Also school is reaching an all-time stress level not only in the classes that I am able to attend but also in that I have no money to finish my application to Jordan that is due before Monday, I still have not been able to get to my independent study courses due to my insane schedule. Also my car is out of commission apparantly till the end of the week. So all in all I have a migrane, an ulcer, I am about to be broke and unemployed, I cannot escape everything due to being stranded without transportation and I am seriously considering dropping out of schoool and joining the circus. I will be on display as the woman who spontaneously combusts and then returns to her human form. Kind of like old faithful in Yellowstone.

Super Swank Day

Today started out really rough but turned into a marvelous end to a pretty great weekend. On Saturday I went to a dance conference at the U of U and it was wonderful. It was terrifying for me to attend something that I felt was totally out of my league and go by myself but it turned out wonderful and it was a wonderful day.
After that I went home and spent some time with my family. After a rough morning today I discovered that my car smelled like a gas station when I turned it on. So my dad and I decided that it would be a very bad idea to drive it back to school....I think that was a very good decision. So my dad decided to take me back to school and drop some more fresh california oranges off.
I love spending time with my dad on campus. It has become a place where we can hang out together without the pain of the past to bother either of us. It becomes a neutral ground for me and it gives me a way to connect and relate to him that I never had before. I am very grateful for this blessing. Today we walked around parts of campus and compared all of the new changes with what he remembers. My favorite parts was looking at the view from the pavillion at the Gordon B. Hinckley Alumni Building, talking about childhood memories in each building and one of my favorites is when he took me to the place that the old football field was when BYU was incredibly young. We went to the area that used to be the top of the bleachers and looked at what was now the Richards Building. There is still rusted pieces of metal that connected to the cement foundation that made up the bleachers. If you know what you are looking for you can totally tell that they used to be bleachers. It was so amazing! I get shivers just thinking about it. It could just be the archaeologist in me going crazy with the joy of history!!!
I remeber my old high school. It was so old and there were so many memories and people there through history that you could feel it in the air. I think each person has an impact on not only the people around them but the very air and ground they touch. I say this because you can feel a certain thickness in the air of places with history. I love it!!!!
