Christmas Cheer Clothing...

So I once lived with a girl named Shanna who, every Christmas, would wear Christmas colors every day after Thanksgiving until Christmas. This year I decided to give it a try. Although I admit I am getting terribly sick of wearing the same colors every day, it's been a good reminder of the Christmas season.


Outfit #1: Nija Pose
Outfit #2 For the gym. Who said you couldn't celebrate the season while lifting weights?

Outfit #3. This is called a classic Christmas outfit - boring but hey, sometimes you just run out okay?

Outfit #4 Notice the Christmas-y earrings.
Outfit #5: Red coats are always a nice accessory at Christmas time.
Outfit #6. Just a note: half these clothes were purchased at Provo's very own Desert Industries. And may I note that Shanna herself (the one pictured here with her adorable baby!) is the very inspiration for these festivities.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!! May your season be full of less work in a boring office with dangling paper gingerbread men and more time spent with family. Love you all.

(Please excuse the corny-ness of this post...I've been stuck in an office all day by myself, okay!?)

December 15, 2010

My walk to campus today:
I woke up to a blanket of snow. Love that feeling. Yesterday I officially finished my finals. It felt so so good to wake up at 10 am today (I've been sleep-deprived the past few days), make a breakfast of smoothies and Taiwanese egg pancakes, go weight-lifting, sing Christmas carols insanely loud and off-key with my friend Maranda, and then get to walk through a winter wonderland to work. What a morning.

Recently, I've been feeling grateful for tender mercies and all the little things I

about life. Here are just a few things:
1. Snow
2. Being done with finals, and getting good grades on them
3. hip-hop music
4. A clean kitchen
5. Running
6. Roommates that inspire me to have dreams, and help me believe that Heavenly Father will help me achieve them (Kasia)
7. Personality

8. Wearing skirts for fun
9. a good laugh
10. Roommates that listen. Really well (Ronnie)
11. Repentance & forgiveness
12. Chinese and anything Asian
13. Babies
14. Agency
15. my amazing parents
16. holiday cheer (Shanna Christensen)
17. Scriptures
18. Technology! (new.lds.org)
19. Service
20. Christmas

Best roommates ever

This is a tribute to my awesome roommates. They are soooooo fun. And spiritual.

Every night, we gather together for apartment prayer after which we all go around and say:
#1. BPOYD (Best Part of Your Day)
#2. What you did for someone that day.

It's changed my perspective and helped me to try and focus on service every day.

I am so blessed.

Thanksgiving

I spent Thanksgiving in Moab with Angie-poo and Bri-bread. It was so fun. I got spend some of Angela's last moments as a pregnant woman with her. Love. Them.
