Today has been quite a lovely day! My alarm technically went off on time but I didn't get up for 20 minutes, leaving me 20 minutes to get ready (or so I thought). But being my brilliant self, showered the night before and got ready with ease and grace and looked rather cute if I do say so myself. I tried calling Albert to make sure we were walking to church together, but someone forgot to turn their phone back on......and off I went on my own, up the hill to church. I power walked it in my high heeled boots and got there about the same time as the cars that were driving the same way. I was quite proud of myself.
All the same, as I was walking up, who did I see but Brent and Bill! I was quite surprised they hadn't left for Burley already but according to Brent they were too lazy and tired to drive, therefore they slept yesterday to rest up. We got to church to find that half the stake had been told 9am and the other 9:30am. And after being quite good and getting there on time and everything. But we just relaxed for a bit and chatted. I felt more than usually small sitting next to two 6'4" guys plus Brent's shoes were about twice the size of mine. Talk about overwhelming, luckily they are all easy and I am pretty sure I was sitting next to the two coolest guys there. (They are so fun!) Albert came later and I did not see him until after sacrament.
Church ended up having sacrament, then 3 Sunday schools, but based on seating I didn't have to move, but Brent and Bill left to go home before the snow got too bad. Then for Relief Society, we were in the same room. I got to sit in the same seat for 3 hours....that was fun. (This was the same room we had Catherine's wedding reception in by the way). But church was quite good and I got my Temple Recommend but I still need to get the Stake President to sign it.
This afternoon was nice, I came back and I made Albert and I wraps with chicken, lettuce, ranch dressing and salsa on top. It was YUMMY. I even got to talk to my dear sister today =] Ah how I love talking to her.
And now I am watching Pride and Prejudice. Albert watched the first half with me. The snow started this morning and has yet to stop, but it is not to stop until Wednesday and then it is going to be a high of 9 degrees. I am a tad nervous but I kind of like the snow. It makes the break seem homely and warm. I desperately wish to have the classic Christmas movies, while curled up in a blanket on the couch, drinking hot cocoa. What a wonderful thought.
Anyway, this weather is making me quite happy, at least until school starts back up next week. Plus in the evening, Idaho gives off this beautiful pinkish glow of the sun setting behind the thick snowy clouds and it is a gorgeous site.
But now I am off to go drink some milk (I have most of a gallon to drink by Wednesday, as if it is a challenge though), Man I wish I had some cinnamon bears right now. Maybe I shall eat some chocolate (teeheehee). I bought some yesterday for the first time since I've been here. =D I forgot how happy it makes you feel =D =D =D
Now to go finish a letter. I promise to write you all that are far from Rexburg at present.Oh and I think the people in this whole complex have decided that since most people are gone that they must make up for the noise, for they have been running up and down their apartment and the breezeways to no end. It has never been this loud since I've been here, what is this craziness? Oh well. I love y'all dearly.
Jack: You are not to talk of Miss Cardew like that. I don’t like it.
Algernon: Well, I don’t like your clothes. You look perfectly ridiculous in them. Why on earth don’t you go up and change? It is perfectly childish to be in deep mourning for a man who is actually staying for a whole week with you in your house as a guest. I call it grotesque.
Jack: You are certainly not staying with me for a whole week as a guest or anything else. You have got to leave… by the four-five train.
Algernon: I certainly won’t leave you so long as you are in mourning. It would be most unfriendly. If I were in mourning you would stay with me, I suppose. I should think it very unkind if you didn’t.
Jack: Well, will you go if I change my clothes?
Algernon: Yes, if you are not too long. I never saw anybody take so long to dress, and with such little result.
Jack: Well, at any rate, that is better than being always over- dressed as you are.
Algernon: If I am occasionally a little over-dressed, I make up for it by being always immensely over-educated.

November 9, 2010
Up, down, touch the ground, puts me in the mood...for food
Just some thoughts I have had over the past week I guess:
1) The cold is never the problem, it is the windchill and the wind that blows the snow into your eyes that is the problem.
2) You know something is odd when Chucks (Converse) keep your feet dryer than other peoples boots....
3) Due to everyone having little traction on their shoes, forces a snow day to be the happiest day ever because people are laughing as they attempt to not make a fool of themselves. (I like it when people smile, it makes your day brighter)
4) While walking, try to walk on fresh snow (slush is icky), unless you're in a parking lot, then walk where the tires were.
5) Wet snow is not common here so there is an unwritten rule that everyone MUST build a snowman and have a snowball fight instantaneously.
6) I LOVE the person that invented skinny jeans! (I wasn't when I first got here, everyone wears flares here so I looked silly) But skinny jeans do not drag through the mud and therefore to not get soaked up to the knee. Yeah so skinny jeans inventor, you are my hero! =D
7) I actually like snow! *GASP* well for now anyway...
8) Hot cocoa and sweat pants while watching friends get WAY TOO into Mario Kart (for N64) makes for a happy evening =]
9) I think I am craving chocolate since I bought chocolate ice cream, chocolate syrup and brownie mix (but the ice cream is for when Rachel comes, along with the syrup and I used the last of my brownie mix last week....and you never know when you'll need a dessert for FHE or something...)
10) Cleanliness is next to Godliness. I've been really good about doing the dishes lately, my roomies have even helped a few times and it always makes me happy. Plus our livingroom has stayed clean since Thursday =D And when things are clean, it makes me VERY happy =]
11) I love my roommates, and goofying off with them =D
12) I've gotten my randomness back, I think it is partially due to my previous post about losing my randomness and skyping old friends. I am very random with them which helps =]
13) I miss family scripture reading & prayer but am SOOOOOOO grateful I was able to share that with them via Skype =D
14) Rachel White found a ride up this weekend to come see meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! =D =D =D =D =D and we are going to have a fabulous time! (I don't get too many girl visitors so I am QUITE excited! It's weird, we always have guys over so when Megan comes by I can be like "We can go in my room!" It is quite an exciting thought because no one sees my room except me and my roommates and sometimes Alisa has people over...but now I am rambling...)
15) Jon should ALWAYS play Mario Kart at our apartment, because it is beyond hilarious (He was the one I was talking about in #8, (he is in our FHE group) he was spazzing out, kind of like when Albert used to play video games, except Jon is around 6'3" and when he flips out you think the floor will break...I am sure the people below us loves us SOOOO much....but it was hilarious to watch while talking to Cacia)
16) We're going to have a ward talent show and Keely & Nicole are gonna clog! And I think they're going to get Bill and Brent in on it! Ah I am excited because they don't clog much, especially the guys. (All for of them were on an international clogging team and have been allllll over the world)
17) I loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove you! =D
I can't think of much else to say....
TTFN, Ta ta for now!
