Homesick!!!!

GRRRRRRRR.......

I hate being homesick. Every once in awhile I get EXTREMELY homesick and if I could would leave and that instant and go see my family. This week has been one of those weeks and maybe just one more charge to the credit card to have gas money will have to happen to make it up to Salt Lake this weekend. As much as I would love to leave right this minute I know I have a life I still have to live....gotta love work and school. So hopefully I will make it through the week without breaking down in public and go see my family this week. What have I gotten myself into.......

UPDATES!!!!!!

So it has been forever since I have updated my blog. In fact I think that it has been since Halloween since I've blogged about anything of significance. So this is going to be a long entry. Here goes!!!

TWILIGHT THE MOVIE!!!

So I am a big fan of The Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyers and could not wait for the movie of the first book to come out. I had tickets for a midnight showing in West Jordan to go with my sister and stepmom, but I couldn't make the long trip from Cedar City and back and take a Math test that Friday morning. So, me and 3 co-workers went and saw it Friday night for a Girl's Night Out. I will admit I was a bit disappointed in the movie. There were too many things that I felt should have been more like the book. But I went and saw it again a second time with my sister and it was ten times better the second time. So over all I REALLY liked the movie and can't wait to see the other books turned into movies.


The Girls at Applebee's -- YUMMY!!!



Waiting in Line in the FREEZING cold!!!!



This is from Thanksgiving. I got to spend some awesome time with my family. The two on the left are my adorable cousins and my brother Jacob is on the right. I miss my family soooo much!!!!!!!!

SNOWBOARDING!!!!!!
Me and a co-worker friend of mine headed up to SLC to learn how to snowboard at Brighton Ski Resort!!! A totally awesome time. It was FREEZING, but so much fun. We took some lessons first and I seemed to be getting the hang of it there, but as soon as I was on my own.....not so hot. I definitely want to make it to the slopes again before the season is over though. I need lots, and I mean LOTS, of practice!!! After that we hit up Happy Sumo for dinner and then off to Green Street to get our drink on. We met up with Naomi's friend and a friend of his and had an awesome time!!!!! So wanna go partying again soon!!!!!!

CHRISTMAS TIME!!!!!
Christmas was AWESOME!!!! Anytime I can make it up to Salt Lake and hang with my family is great!!! Christmas started out at my moms Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve my brother, sister and I all hung out for most of the day. Then Christmas was Christmas. Opened gifts and breakfast and then hung out until it was time to go to my dads. The trip to my dad's was quite the adventure. My mom lives in Sandy and my dad in West Jordan....so I had to go across the valley. About half way there the weather turned bad......and I went sliding into a curb. Good news....no one was hurt and the car is still driveable for now. Bad news....I gotta put some money into getting my car fixed eventually. So my siblings and I made it alive. We opened presents there (which my little little bro, Jacob, decided to tell us what a couple of them were before opening) and hung out. Then we had some family over for dinner and some more gift exchanges. It was definitely a fun and relaxing Christmas.

My dad competes in BBQ competitions so for Christmas my stepmom got him a banner and the whole BBQ competition team (the family) T-shirts. The team name is OU812 BBQ. OU812 is the title of a Van Halen CD. Now team OU812 is ready to rock in 2009!!!!


Our cute puppy Hank!!!!! He is so silly!!!

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK!!!!!
My BFF, Celeste, is in Oklahoma going to Law School, so for the remainder of my Xmas break I went out to visit her. Her and her husband drove back home for Christmas so I drove back to Oklahoma with them. Overall I think it took us about 20 hours it get there....definitely a majorly long car drive. I was glad that I flew back. A more detailed blog and pictures shall be coming shortly!!! :)
