Temple Square Lights!

Brad and I decided to escape the finals week stress in Provo and went to visit family and see the lights!

Brad liked the long eared donkey... he thought it was cute

too bad you can't see me in this pic... forgot to put the flash on

It's crazy how they put the lights on EVERY little twig in the tree!

this pic is supposed to be by the statues of Hyrum and Joseph, but the person didn't get the heads of the statues in the picture... thank goodness for the cropping function.

Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown

Through Rain, Sleet, and Snow....

No... I am not talking about the mail man. I am talking about your friendly neighborhood ice cream man. Ours likes to come out on freezing cold nights when it has been snowing for two days straight... don't believe me? listen up:

Sorry the video is weird... but if you listen closely you can hear our crazy neighborhood ice cream man. Making sure you get your ice cream fix on cold and snowy nights :)

Our neighbors think he is actually selling drugs...

Las Vegas Bowl: Do Stats Matter?

If you haven't heard my BYU Cougars are playing against my OSU Beavers in this year's Las Vegas Bowl! Naturally, I'll be rooting for the Cougars, though rooting against my beloved Beavers will not be easy. I'll probably root more for the Cougars than against the Beavers if that's possible. I hope for a great, close game and may the best team win!



I compiled these stats from the NCAA homepage. Looks like BYU has the edge statistically, but will that matter on the field? I'm excited to find out! Go Cougars!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

This is what I saw when I opened my door this morning at 8:30 AM... SNOW! Finally. It has been freezing the past two weeks, and I personally believe that if it is going to be freezing outside then there better be some snow! :)

ALSO I decorated my apartment all Christmas-like this last week:

My little Charlie Brown Tree

Our stockings have been hung over our TV with care...

Lion King

 

The promised picture. Just in case you didn't understand from the last post... the Lion King was AMAZING! I loved it. There was only one little thing that bothered me... the adult Simba did not have a super strong voice. Nala and Rafiki though, their voices were INCREDIBLE. The costumes and set in this musical are so well designed. And it helped that we had the most amazing seats ever. (Thanks Dad!) Even Brad liked this musical (although he tried to explain to me that it wasn't really a musical). If you ever get the chance, see the Lion King.

Giving Thanks

For Thanksgiving we went down to Vegas to visit my family AND we brought Allison with us! It a fun and relaxing trip. It was nice to play games, chat, eat lots of food, watch movies and such with the family.

Some highlights of the trip:

1. Lemon cream cheese pie with graham cracker crust.... my all time favorite pie from Marie Calendars
2. Thanksgiving meal feast.... it was delicious! Thanks mom!
3. 2012 - I do not like end of the world movies... and thus did not really care for this one, but the special effects were VERY realistic. (So much that I have officially decided I don't want to witness the second coming.)
4. BYU vs Utah - Brad is still a little sad we didn't go back for the game... but we did get to watch it in a nice warm house on a nice big TV and BYU WON!!! barely. But they did.
5. LION KING Musical - the reason we missed the BYU game. The Lion King was amazing. The seats were amazing. The music was amazing. The set was amazing. The costumes were amazing. And all the singers (minus adult simba) were amazing. I highly recommend you go see it in vegas if you get the chance.

we are working on getting pictures... tune in for a later post.
