I have been much too busy to actually post anything good lately. I'm swamped at school, and dealing with a lot. But, that doesn't really matter. Because tomorrow (the 26th), is my birthday. BOOM BABY!
The first picture is of my friend Ben and I after a night of karaoke for my birthday on Saturday. And then the next picture is of my darling friend Sydney. She turned twenty on the 24th, so we now declare the 25th to be our special shared birthday-day. I love that girl. A whole lot a lot.
Anyway, this is just my version of checking in on my lil' bloggy blog before I die from the stress of midterms.
Also, my grandpa was starting to get worried by the lack of posting. Hahaha.
Guys. If you don't have a best friendship like we do, you're missing out, quite a bit. Men? Pssh. All you need is a best friend who will take pictures with you on Webcam Toys until you're sorta late for class...
I hope you enjoyed these. We certainly enjoyed taking them..
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.
Being best friends, is just the best. I would be so lost without this girl right hurr. So tomorrow (or technically today...), will be the start of a new era of Nancy & Sarai. We've known each other since we were three years old, and no one will ever quite understand us I don't think. Except Celeste. She comes pretty dang close...
Anyway, we're almost roommates. Just a few more hours, and it's official. I have a feeling that for a little while it's going to feel like a sleepover... and then we'll snap out of it and get down to business..
With the year coming to a close, and so much coming to an end, we thought we'd respost these wonderful Christmas photos for you and your loved ones, along with a sort of "year in review" for those who maybe aren't quite as caught up on our daily lives.
Seth:
This year Seth decided on his future career, namely being a hunter gatherer. If that doesn't work out then he is going to work at In-'N-Out instead. And if that fails then he applied to medical school as a last resort. He also vastly improved his hand-eye coordination, multi-tasking, and strategy skills... yeah.
Joel:
Joel Christensen spent the first half of this year partying it up in Beijing on the government's dime. He is pleased to report that these were well-spent tax payers dollars. Taking a break from the constant partying, he returned in the U.S. in June, welcomed his brother home from his mission and was an instrumental part of his sister's wedding. This last semester, facing an 18 credit class load Joel spent several months whimpering under his bed but recently emerged in the hope that all those horrible teachers and assignments have gone away.
Michael:
Michael finished his first semester as a grad student and a calculus teacher. He had a lot of fun teaching his students and found that grading isn't so bad. Michael also started dating Caroline Faulkner, who is a fantastic person. Caroline studies Teaching Social Sciences, and is planning on teaching History, Geography and Economics at a high school when she graduates.
Stephen:
This past year, Stephen failed all of his classes one semester in a misguided attempt to work in a semi useful major, namely Information Technology. He now has settled with the English major because he "can kind of speak English good." He also watched a lot of Law and Order re-runs.
Ben:
After outsourcing himself to China last year, working for half of minimum wage at a programming sweat shop, Ben was glad to return to the US in 2012. Ben is still attending BYU and looking forward to all his friends graduating without him.
Diana:
During the year 2012, Diana, became pregnant with twins* who she plans to name Justin Bieber and Nedbert. They might be due in April. Something like that. She also became engaged multiple times*, but broke them all off because she "just wasn't feelin' it". She is now preparing to serve a mission in Ukraine. She reports in March. She also became addicted to the popular primetime TV show "Grey's Anatomy" (this may be Sarai's fault).
Sarai:
Just before quitting her job at Icing (where she made little girls cry daily by stabbing holes into their ears), Sarai got hired at Victoria's Secret where she currently makes her daily wages by selling white bras to the women of Utah. She also made friends with all these boys in these pictures, although she's sometimes not sure why. As soon as the New Year starts, she will be living with her very best friend, and having adventures galore, such as Unicorn hunting.
{not pictured}
Matt:
Matt Wise is also pregnant with twins*, although no one is quite sure what he plans on naming them. Nothing else of importance happened to him this year.
Except he did kinda get a huge job offer in Texas. Which he took. Because he rocks the professional world and whatnot.
So there ya have it folks. A year in review from these wonderful people who all chose to live in the same complex, and thus became best friends.
