So, it finally snowed yesterday! I love snow. I was walking with Mary Jackson around my apartment building and we were questioning how anybody could hate snow. She said that snow is one of the most romantic things and I agreed. Two people standing out in the cold, holding each other, and snow falling. Ever seen "Serendipity"? It's romantic. I thought it was pretty funny. The first snowfall reminded me of Ali Newton (now Sister Newton since she is on a mission in New Jersey). Every year we always went and played in the snow either during or after it snowed the first time. Then we'd go back inside and have hot chocolate and change into our pajamas. It was so much fun and I loved those times. I was also reminded yesterday of the funniest time I fell outside in the snow. My friend Beau Dunn and come to pick me up so we could go to dinner. Well, I walked out of my apartment building and down the stairs safely. I got to his car (he was waiting inside the car) and reached for the door handle when I slipped and fell backward. He said that he had just turned for one second and when he turned back around I was gone. He got out of the car to see where I was and he laughed so hard when he saw me laying on the ground. I got a pretty good kick out of the situation. I have made sure to be a lot more careful on ice since then.

Elisabeth (Libby) Pond came to visit for Thanksgiving. She is deferred from BYU to serve a mission. Well, she tore her ACL and miniscus in the MTC so she went home for surgery. She decided that she was bored at home and wanted to come to Provo for Thanksgiving and an extra week. Thanksgiving was awesome and we had a good time while she was here. She was able to see some friends that she hadn't seen for over two years, so that was good for her. She definitely is one of my best friends and I don't know who I would talk to everyday if she weren't here. I would have to find new friends...that would suck. I am not very outgoing before I know people.

Stephanie and Kyle Hair are getting married in 27 days and I am so excited for Kyle to be my brother-in-law! He is awesome and I love him.

We only have two weeks left of the semester before finals and then I get to go home for Christmas. I am kinda nervous for my finals. I don't know how I've done in my classes thus far, but hopefully I have done well enough to do well on my finals. My friend Brad Tuckett comes home from his mission in Taiwan on the 28th of December and I can't wait to see him again. He was so cool and we had some good times together. Hopefully he's not weird!
