A post that is long overdue. :)

My family. Minus my brother's fiance who will be in here soon, but wasn't technically his fiance at the time. haha :) Maybe we can crop her in. (Back row L-R: Bryce, Spencer, Ryan and Me. Front row: my dad, Michael and my mom.)

My roommates and I playing Rock Band all night long. We are awesome at that game! :)


My cute little brother Michael in his Halloween costume. He is awesome! :)

My roommate Lindsay and I at a hockey game. I love hockey!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Anyways, just thought I would share some pictures of my life recently. I am back in Logan after being in Sandy for the last 3 weeks relaxing during Christmas break. It was a nice break, I only wish we had one more week. I always wish there was another week before school starts. haha. I didn't do much besides go to the movies with Lindsay and my brothers, and hang out with my brothers and my roommates. It was still a lot of fun though. My brothers played their first church basketball games last weekend. They won, and all 3 of them played really well. I don't like watching church ball games though, because everyone gets really mean, but I went to support them. :) haha I got my student refund back today, which is nice, but I have to buy new tires, so probably half of it will go towards that. :( haha tires are so expensive. I hate going to auto shops too, I feel so dumb in there and the guys who work there usually don't help the situation much. I feel sometimes like they make you feel stupid just so they can trick you into paying more money. But that is just my conspiracy theory. haha

My schedule for the next semester should be pretty mellow. I technically only need 4 credit hours to graduate, but since I need to take a minimum of 12 to keep my scholarship I am taking 12 credit hours. This is the lightest semester I have ever had. Usually I take 15-18 credits per semester, but I decided after the last semester I needed an easy one. :) The classes I am taking are: British Imperialism, WWII in Asia, Ethics, and Social Inequality. I am hoping that they are all very easy, but I guess I won't truly know until Monday.

This is Rob and his current companion Elder Herrera, they built a snowman as you can see. I don't know if this guy will be his companion much longer. Rob told me that this Friday they could get a transfer. I think he is hoping for that. He likes going to new areas, and being with new companions. I just hope he doesn't get sent to Sandy or Draper since that is where I live. He is hoping to go to India soon, but he hasn't received any word on his visa yet, so as for now he is still stuck here. haha :) He said the weeks of Christmas and New Years were terribly slow and boring. They had no lessons to teach since everyone was doing stuff for the holidays and not having much to do is apparently not what missionaries want. They must be the only people on the earth who long to be busy constantly, it seems the rest of us would like a week or two where we literally had nothing to do. :) Rob has been gone for almost 5 months. Which seems so hard to believe. Sometimes it feels like he just barely left, and other times it feels like he should be coming home tomorrow.

Here is my little plug for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. WATCH THEM!! They should be really fun to watch. The opening ceremony is on Feb 12, in just a little over 30 days! If you don't know what events to watch let me suggest my favorites. Men's Ice Hockey is always good and is my favorite! Pretty much all the downhill skiing events are fun to watch, also snowboarding, speed skating, bobsled, luge and skeleton. There are many other events too but I don't like them as much. Cheer on our teams from the USA and watch them kick butt! Remember FEBRUARY ON NBC. (I should get paid for this nice little endorsement I just gave them!) haha
