My Request: NO MORE SNOW!!!

So, I am not a snow driver. I don't enjoy being wet or cold. And I definitely don't LOVE that snow means indoor recess... Just my thoughts on a snowy day...

I'm going to go to New York for New Year's Eve! I am so excited!

Some things never change!

This week I have had so much fun in St. George. I have been able to do many things with my family (like shopping on Black Friday) and I have seen many old friends. Last night I went to dinner with Christin, Kati, Elise, Christian, and Brandon. We went to Paula's Mexican Restaurant. Christin used to work there when I went to Dixie College, so we used to go there often. It was fun to eat there and to catch up with my good buddies. I'm excited for Christmas time because then Kandi will be able to come also. I'm glad to have such good friends!

Cutest Pilgrims EVER!

Yeah! We are out of school now for the rest of the week. Today we did a lot of Thanksgiving activities, including making Pilgrim hats and bonnets. They loved them and look so cute! I can't wait to go home for Thanksgiving and to see my family. I haven't been home since Labor Day!

Friends, Movies, and a Cake!

I had a great weekend! Friday night I went to Chili's with some girls that I used to teach with at Pony Express. It was so good to see all of them, especially Beth because I hadn't seen her since she moved to Wyoming.

After Chili's, I rushed home and got ready to go to Ashley and Jordan's reception. Then I went to watch the new Disney movie, Bolt. It was such a cute movie. Cory and I had to wear these dorky glasses because it was in 3-D!









Saturday night I saw Twilight with some friends. I have read all of the books, so I was excited to see the movie. I have heard many people say that they didn't really like it, but I thought that it was pretty good... Sort of cheesy, but so was the book!









My niece Carly just turned 2, so Sunday I decorated a cake for her. It was the first 3 level cake that I'd ever done. I was pretty nervous about doing it, but I think it turned out okay. Angie had the cute idea of making it a tutu cake because Carly is 2!

Guess What Disney Princess I am?

You Are Cinderella!

Dignified and hard working. With a gentle and soft-spoken manner you have something many people don't. Patience. Even through the moments of heartbreak you're still able to hold onto all of your hopes and dreams. Bide your time; your dream will come true.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

Caribbean!!!

Last week I went on the best trip ever... We flew into Miami early Saturday morning, checked into our hotel, and spent the day in South Beach.


Sunday we got onto our boat, the Carnival Triumph.


Monday we spent the day in Half Moon Cay, Bahamas. The beach was SO beautiful there! These are most of the friends that we went with...


Tuesday morning we awoke to an announcement that they were rerouting our cruise due to a hurricane. We were kind of bummed until we heard that now we were going to Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel! We spend our day at sea sleeping, eating, and hanging out on deck. Oh and singing karaoke and dancing, of course!


Wednesday we went to Jamaica!!! It was a gorgeous island. We hiked up a waterfall and bartered with the locals. They tried to sell us just about anything (if you know what I mean...).


Thursday we went to Grand Cayman. We went on a boat ride to a reef where we went snorkeling. We were also supposed to play with sting rays, but that part of the reef was too wavy so the coast guard wouldn't let us off the boat there. I did see two sting rays swimming around while I was snorkeling though!



Friday we went to Cozumel, Mexico. I loved this island. We hiked around some Mayan ruins and learned a little history about those people. We also went snorkeling and saw tons of colorful fish.











Saturday was another day at sea... But the fun doesn't stop just because you're stuck on a boat! We laid out on deck, went down the water slide, went dancing, and even met Montel Jordan (he sang "This is how we do it" in the early 90s).









Sunday we flew home... It was the longest day ever! We were all super tired from traveling. We got pretty bored waiting for our flight in the airport, but somehow we kept ourselves entertained!

Here are a few of my favorite pics from the trip...
