This weekend has been great.

Friday consisted of a work party with the girls. We watched The Others :)

After that I watched BYU and the Rangers lose.

(that sucked, but I just love watching games, so oh well...)

Then I finished my Christmas wreath! I love getting crafty.

When I was done with that, I made Emily watch Friday The 13th with me.

On Saturday I spent the morning cleaning and doing homework

Frosting was my study buddy for the day.

I'm going on a no-sugar diet next week, so I have to get in all I can now :)

Then Emily and I went and babysat my niece, Sophie.

Followed by that, we spent the rest of our evening attempting to go to a dance party, failing, and then hanging out with our friend Jarom.

And now, this morning, I'm spending time reading this.

So far, this weekend has been a success :)

Life

Life is good.

And happy.

And beautiful.

My parents are here in Rexburg to meet my nephew, little Samuel.

My parents bought me frosting (for cookies I'm making tomorrow) and Chloraseptic to rid a canker sore in my mouth. 

Is that too much information? Oh well :)

They also bought me dinner.

My mom made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.

Also, the new Michael Buble Christmas cd and Coldplay cd came out yeterday.

Music to my ears.

Needless to say, I'm a happy girl.

They should probably come to Rexburg more often, especially during midterms!

I'll do a post soon with pictures of Sam and maybe some other people, like myself, or my parents, or my roommates, or my boyfriends (hahaha funny...).

That One Dreaded Question

 Boy in class - "Where are you from?"

Me - "Um, I don't know."

Boy - "Well, where do your parents live at right now?"

Me - "They're moving this week from Washington to Utah."

Boy - "Oh.. So I guess you really don't know."

I can't even count how many times I have this conversation with people in the past three days.

Talk about an awkward start to a conversation.

I always decide that I'm just going to say Washington, or Illinois, and end it, but the question always catches me off guard, even though I know it's coming.

I guess I'm now technically from Utah. 

Just like the majority of the population of this school.

That's right people, I'm from Utah, and yep, you guessed it..

I'm a Mormon :)

I Can't Wait...

October 24th.

That's one week away, folks.

Christmas is in the air.

Thank you, Michael, for bringing me Christmas in October.

I'm in love.

Today it Rained

It was wet.

And cold.

Kathryn and I started listening to Christmas music tonight...

And now I have Christmas fever.

All I want is snow.

All I want is to come home to crock-pot cooked meals.

All I want is hot chocolate, every night.

All I want is my electric blanket keeping me warm when I sleep.

All I want is Christmas decor, everywhere.

All I want is to bake Christmas goodies, all day, every day.

All I want for Christmas is this c.d...

 19 days until it's mine.

A Busy, Eventful, and Amazing Weekend

These are the reasons why...

1. My nephew was born!

See previous post :)

2. I didn't have any classes on Friday

3. I got a surprising amount of homework done

4. BYU v. Utah State

Riley Nelson saved the game.

Watch the fourth quarter - you won't regret it.

5. General Conference.

The two GC weekends twice a year are usually some of the best :)

I'm definitely not ready for another week to start.
Is the semester over yet?

Samuel Jeffrey Walters

At 12:35 yesterday morning I helped welcome my new nephew, Samuel into the world.

Samuel Jeffrey Walters
Born September 30th, 2011

It was truly amazing.
I'm so fortunate to be able to be so close to my sister and brother in law and I'm very grateful for the opportunity that I had to be able to be there.

I love that boy so much already :)
