pictures and a bit of an update!

I can't believe it's almost Christmas! Friday I will be home with my lovely family and I am super excited about that! There are so many things I haven't blogged about - Thanksgiving trip to Logan with mom, dad, and Brian (where we almost got killed by a spinning car on the freeway in that "blizzard" - yikes!), mom and dad's birthday party, last weeks of clinicals and school, adventures at Jamba Juice, etc etc. I figured since I don't study on Sunday, I could at least post some pictures :). So, enjoy!

Mom and Dad at their birthday party! As you can see, they have quite the different taste in literature ;)

About a month ago Andrea and I went to see the Christmas lights at the Riverwoods and it was SO MUCH FUN to be with her! We saw the lights, did a bit of Christmas shopping, and of course got a milkshake!

Going to temple square to see the lights is one of my favorite things to do during the holiday season - it is soooo beautiful. I don't remember ever seeing the floating lights in the reflecting pool before. As you can see from the photo, it was really foggy, but honestly that made it look even more magical!

I like this picture for several reasons. #1. you can see that I decorated my apartment for Christmas! Oh how I love Christmas. #2 Brian and I have cool stickers. #3 yay for cheesy smiles

Also on temple square - can you see the snow and the sheep in the background? - It was part of a life-size nativity set.
