I so badly wish that I had pictures to show everyone from Nancy and my fabulous new years party...
but alas. We are horrid at picture-taking. So maybe we'll take pictures sometime soon.
Anyway, the evening was filled with wonderment! Friends came over, and we had great fun with them. My cheek got kissed at midnight, which was a wonderful moment. And I'm going on a date on Friday, all because of that night's events :)
The best part of everything? We danced at midnight, in the middle of our parking lot, in the snowfall. It was magical.
And after a few days of long shifts at work, I'm relaxing by watching "The Fox & the Hound". I'm already crying and it's fifteen minutes into the movie.
I convinced them to do awkward family Christmas pictures with Diana and I, and it was delightful. As you can see from the above photos, we are a goofy bunch of friends. Half these pictures are beyond ridiculous, and half of them are probably not very flattering. But, all of them are so completely our relationship. The guys invited Diana and I over for breakfast one morning when we had all just moved in, at the beginning of the semester. And ever since them, we've just gotten closer and closer. I have no problem just walking in at any given time, and I've been dubbed "the seventh roommate". Unfortunately, Matt, the actual sixth roommate, wasn't here today. He's in Texas reuniting with someone special
But anyway.
I'm sad that Diana is moving out (she's going to serve a mission for our church!), but luckily Nancy will be moving in this next semester. So I'll get to live with my best friend, and the boys will still be here until they graduate. Oh gosh. Now that's a depressing thought...
I'll be updating this post as soon as all the boys send me their Christmas Newsletter Contributions.
And on that note, Merry Christmas! Take pictures with someone you love :)
Christmas! I'm loving this season. The holiday is almost here, and I still haven't picked out most of the presents I need to buy for people! But I'm surprisingly unstressed. Maybe it's because so many wonderful and delightful things have been happening lately to me. I feel this intense gratitude for the people that I know right now. I have the most loving and wonderful parents who constantly and willingly always come to my rescue. And I have a best friend who is planning on moving in with me pretty soon (yay for Nancy finally coming to Utah!), and I have a roommate who looks out for me every step of the way. It's awe-inspiring, is what it is.
Isn't that sort of the meaning of this season though? Despite the fact that I'm poor, and tired all the time, and busy like no one's business, and struggling in pretty much all aspects of life, I can't even be that upset. Because everyone is just so wonderful, and Christmas is almost here. To think, we're about to celebrate the birth of our savior, and nothing could make me happier. I'm extra grateful because in two weeks I'm going home! It's only for a week, so that's kinda sad. But at least it's happening at all, right? I can't wait to see my family, and sleep in a real house, and not have to cook for myself. Lately, I've been eating milk and cookies every step of the way. Mostly because I haven't gone grocery shopping, but also because I just don't feel like cooking. It's a wonderful life here in Provo ;)
OH! I recently asked a boy on a date. We're friends, so that's scary in and of itself. But, as far as I know, the date went well. So here's to being brave!
My sweet roommates introduced me to the glory that is Cafe Rio. I think my life is forever changed. that is all that I have to say about that deliciousness. I hope I get to go back to that wonderful place. Except, I am also poor, and money only comes my way every other Friday. And officially, that goes to rent, and whatnot. It's the best. Also, can I just say that I miss Dane more than ever right now? We had an argument, and it hurts me that I can't just go kiss him after we make up. Or that I can't give him little cuddles when he stops being mad at me. I just miss him I guess. Also we haven't really talked on the phone, like, really, in a while. That's awful. Sometimes we talk for three hours, and apparently lately that is not going to happen, what with my busy schedule, and the lameness that is work. I love my company, don't get me wrong. But it feels kind of awful to work when I just want to be having fun. such as swimming, like tonight. That's actually another reason why I feel extra sad that Dane is gone. Everyone was having fun, and flirting, and goofing off. And I just splashed around having a relaxed little time. Which was kind of nice, not having to impress boys, but it was still depressing. I didn't want to hang out with those boys. I wanted to hang out with Dane Fred and splash around in the hot tub. We did that a few times this winter, and it was so nice, all hazy and lazy. I miss my sweet boy.
And I will be posting today's pictures....tomorrow :D
