6 Facts About Me

1. I don't really care for most desserts. I like sweets, but instead of the fancy stuff, I would rather have a piece of chocolate cake or a bowl of ice cream.

2. I get really nervous one-on-one with people. It doesn't really matter who it is. Does anyone think that might be why I'm not married yet?

3. I love to cook, but I haven't for a long time.

4. I love to organize things. My classroom is very organized and if I could I think I would organize others for a living.

5. I am a very straight sleeper. I don't really move at all. It is a good quality since usually I am sleeping with my laptop and several articles of clothing, nothing gets disturbed.

6. I am a people person. I love big groups of people hanging out and having fun. I almost never like to be alone.

I am now tagging my two good friends Sue and Marissa.

The Holy War

So today was the big day! BYU vs Utah. I must admit, it seemed like a pretty slow game. No one could score, but it got a little intense in the end for me. But BYU came out victorious. What a wonderful way to end this season. Plus, it's just nice to not have all my Utah friends rub it in my face that Utah is better. Two years in a row now that we have won!!!

Thanksgiving Blessings

Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday to spend with family and reflect upon the many blessings that we have in our lives. Here is a list of a few of the things that I am most grateful for:

My family

Good friends

Job

I have all the things that I need and more.

Good health

Prophets and Apostles

Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ

United States of America

Freedom

Life is hard, but it is good. I am truly blessed and I am grateful for all of the blessings that I have.

I Miss My Sister

So she moved away last Friday to Seattle. And I really am excited for her, but in a very selfish way I wish she were here. We grew very close in the time we lived together in college and the few years living close in Utah. I didn't realize how much it would effect me until she left. So Aimee, if you read this, just know that I love you and miss you and hope you are doing well. Also, you need to blog more now that I don't get to see you or your baby.

Fall Leaves

This past weekend we had an early Thanksgiving because my cousin Brian is leaving on Wednesday to serve a mission in Osorno, Chile. While we were there, the leaves were falling like crazy in the backyard. This is Cole in the leaves. As much as I blog about him, one might think that I was his mother. But not to be mistaken, I am just the proud Aunt. I love him so much (just look at how cute he is). I wish I would have taken more pictures. There was a lot of family there. It was fun to see all of them. Family is so important and I am very grateful that I was able to spend so much time with them.

Playing Mom

So this is the cutest baby that I got to babysit this weekend.

Cole and I hung out this weekend. We had a good time. He is such a good baby. He just plays around most of the time and entertains himself. However, I was still exhausted by the end of the weekend. Kudos to all of you mothers. It is a hard job and you never get a day off. I have a lot of admiration for you all.

Good Times

So Aimee and I were playing around the other day at her house. She has this fun feature on her Mac. Don't you think we are lovely?

We decided Aimee looked like Dobby, the house elf, in this one, what do you think? I'm not sure what I look like, but my chin is huge!

We were laughing so hard, we were crying! It was so much fun!
