Old Photos December 22, 2010

Seeing as I have so much free time over break I have been going through the photos on my computer and organizing them into categories and years! WOOHOO! But upon organizing my photos I found one of Elder Schott and I from my 18th birthday...ya not so long ago but I had forgotten that we took this one..:D

Flowers :) December 20,2010

Today was Hazel Coons birthday so my mom and I went and picked up some flowers and delivered them to her and had the chance to catch up with her which was nice! So we went to Safeway for the flowers and I discovered that blue flowers exist-not just BLUE but the BLUE that I want for my wedding :) I know its a long way to go and I might change my mind but I'm noting that in my mind for when it does happen :D

Elder Schott's Christmas Package December 18, 2010

After waiting in the post office line for an HOUR (i learned the lesson from procrastinating :/) Elder Schott's christmas box was finally sent off :) My mom has been collecting all the Lowe's ads we get in the mail so I can wrap all his gifts in them (I wonder if he notices haha). The picture with the ties didn't actually get sent, I sent him and his companion two for christmas though (matching ones red & orange too :p) But i had already wrapped them so I took this one! This picture is of Elder Schott's ties for the next five months (one including his birthday tie!) Yup my mom picked the perfect colors to go with the next four holidays! :)

Girls Day :) December 17, 2010

So I took out Mireya and Jenna for nails and ice cream today! It was a blast! We all got redish colors on our nails then we got snowflakes on our thumbs (for christmas :) ) and then we headed to DQ for ice cream (yes in december haha) and then I came up with the crazy idea of taking those two to the mall LOL. It was fun and they had loved picking out things that they would like and they especially had fun picking out shoes at Payless for me to try on! :p

Making FUDGE :D December 17, 2010

So tonight my mom and I made fudge :D I got appointed the job of stirring the mixture till it had boiled for four minutes-do you know how long four minutes is as you watch the clock tick down a second at a time!?!?! lol but OOHH the fudge tastes AMAZING! Oh the picture with me and the chocolate chips i call "every childs dream" haha

I heart TEXAS Dec 17 2010

So for part of my Christmas gift my friend Electra bought me a Texas shirt and a bumper sticker that says "someone in Texas loves me" i was so excited when i opened it :) Her box was so cute-all about time and how the best things in life are worth waiting for! Thank you again Electra for my gift! I absolutely loved it all...I took this picture to send to Nate in his birthday package! :D

Elder Schott's Christmas Texas Style! December 13, 2010

Here's a glimpse of Elder Schott's Christmas in Texas. 
Although no snow or rain Texas is getting into the spirit of Christmas!
The tree in the photo has over 5,000 lights on it and the house in the other photo is a member that Elder Schott helped decorate-the guy had over 3,000 lights :O!!

Seattle Lights December 9, 2010

So tonight I went downtown with Carlye, Electra, and Tessa to check out the lights in Seattle. They had a huge tree that was beautifully decorated! But what caught our eye-the store that has the words "No, You're Weird" haha amazing! We had to pose in front of it :)

Seattle Temple December 7, 2010

Tonight the Institute got another opprotunity to go to the Seattle Temple to do baptisms for the dead! One of the many perks of going to UW is having a temple so close :) Our institute tries to go at least once a quarter and this quarter we got lucky and were able to go in November and December! I absolutely love it there-there is no place where I feel more at peace and feel the love of the Savior! Doing temple work at night is amazing as well-we are the only ones there and the temple workers are so helpful-I am so grateful for them :)

Seattle University November 10, 2010

Well tonight Electra and I went over to Seattle University to visit our good old friend Tessa :) Seattle University is pretty sweet-not as good as UW of course ;) Good times we had by all...I really liked Tessa's bed, she has made it like a couch and it was super comfy!

Jaxson's 3rd Birthday November 9, 2010

CES fireside with M. Russell Ballard November 7, 2010

Being at the Institute I am privileged to find out all about the messages that the first presidency and quorum of the twelve broadcasts. This weekend M. Russell Ballard aired a CES fireside so a bunch of us headed over to the Stake Center to watch it. It was an amazing talk, he discussed the basics of the gospel. He talked about going back to the simple things and not getting caught up with the world. It was a great reminder especially for myself, technology is fantastic but its nice to remember the little things in life :)

Turkey Bowl November 6, 2010

So guess what I did this weekend? I played at Husky Stadium-yup that's right! Right on the field-just like how the real football players do it!

The Young Single Adults have their annual turkey bowl and I got a chance to be on the team and play with people from my ward :)
