So Happy Together!

These are my boys

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 :)

Love, Sarai

You probably can't tell from these pictures, but recently, there was a loss in my little family. The family that was Diana, Iroh, Pompeii, and myself. On Monday, my two little sweet babies both died, within twelve hours of each other. Iroh first, then Pompeii. So suffice to say, I've been having a hard time the last few days. I know that to some people they are just rabbits. Cute, but not a pet to cry over. 

Yet they were my babies. That's all there is to it.

Anyway, I've been a mess. But then I went to Thanksgiving dinner with Sydney, and I was a little bit more okay. Still sad, but maybe not crying nearly as much. And that's better than what I was on Monday, and Tuesday, and Wednesday. So there you go.

Also, this past Sunday, I watched "It's a Wonderful Life" with my delightful friends in Apartment 2. By far, my favorite holiday movie, and by far my favorite romantic scenes. My whole romantic life, or lack thereof is defined by that movie. So yeah. That was pretty great. 

oh! Lots of movies were seen this week by the way. I saw Life of Pi on Wednesday (I HIGHLY recommend), I saw Silver Linings Playbook on Thursday (amazing portrayal of mental illness), and I saw Looper last night. Which I recommend also, but only if you can handle mature elements. VERY MATURE.

Anyway, that's my life these days. A lot has happened, and in the matter of twelve hours, so much of my life was changed. Which reminds me, Nancy has been exhorting me to be brave. So that's what I'm doing. I'm going to be brave tonight, and tell the world how I feel. Or rather, just someone...

Love, Sarai

I convinced Dane to watch "The Help" with me tonight, and it was even better this time. If you haven't seen it, you should. It's inspirational, without being anti-white. Some of the stories are sad, some are good, but they're all incredible. The movie alone is amazing, but the book is even better. I'm almost done with it, and I keep recommending it to everyone who needs a good book to read. Fur rull. Just read it.

We also went to Dane's ward talent show, and I don't think I've laughed that hard in a long time. This guy played his recorder with his nose. It was extremely impressive. I kid not. And then this guy did a hilarious Harry Potter monologue/mash-up. So great. It was delightful, and hilarious, and there were the requisite awkward people, but even they were pretty good :)

Love, Sarai

Basically, this is my new favorite shirt. Nancy and I just happened to buy the same shirt... and the same sunglasses. No big deal or anything. She has some mildly hilarious photos of us that she's going to post soon. It's solely for your entertainment, of course.

Anyway, the weather is glorious and delightful, all sixty-three degrees of it. Supposedly there will be a thunder storm tomorrow. That would be ideal. I have a thing for thunder storms... even though they kind of frighten me
I especially love hiding out under my covers while peeking out the window of my bedroom, and cuddling with all my lovelies. Best thing ever :)

Love, Sarai
