It is time!

I have been alerted by several of my friends that it is time to post! They are right. It has been just over 3 weeks since my last post. However, these last weeks have been very hectic and not very interesting to most people. I had "hell week", or so I will call it, right before finals. Then was finals week. I feel like I've been so busy yet haven't done anything! I blame that on school! It seems like every time I was catching up 3 or 4 things would go wrong that would put me behind again.
I got home on thursday! It was wonderful! Time to relax! However the bad luck with school didn't stop there! Friday morning I got an email from my teaching p.e. teacher. I had to take that final online but for some reason it didn't show up that I took it! Such bad luck! Hopefully he believed me, otherwise I'll have to retake that class. :(
Tomorrow is the big day when all the family comes in. My sister, brother-in-law, and niece will come in along with my granparents and cousins. Tally of people staying at my house:15
I have also spent a ton of time working on a big christmas present for my family. I'm making a book of my extended family. It'll probably be about 40 to 50 pages when it is done. Hopefully I will be printing tonight!

Anyways, there's just a little update of what is going on with me! I'll post soon!

Nutcracker 5k

This morning Jean and I ran the nutcracker 5k. Thats the race I mentioned earlier where everyone wears tu-tus. When I woke up this morning, I looked outside and this is what I saw! YIKES!

Jean and I figured that it would be fun to run in the snow, plus I really wanted to run a race in a tu-tu! :) So we went for it. A couple of things bugged me about this race. First of all, they don't have any mile markers at all. I never knew how far I had gone and how much farther I had to go! The only other rough part was the snow! It was coming down the entire time and we were running in slush! The course was also kinda hilly so it felt like I was going REALLY slow. However, Jean decided that she wanted to run with me even though she is WAY faster. So, with Jean cheering me on I was still able to finish at a little quicker than an 11 minute pace. I was pretty happy with that considering the conditions. :)

After the race Jean and I had to hurry because we were throwing a bridal shower for our friend Amber in less than 2 hours. By the time we got the balloons and everything we had less than an hour to get ready and set up! I'd say the shower was a success. Next up, bachellorette party! Jean and I have quite a few exciting things up our sleeves! :)

The rest of the day was full of sports, BYU football beat San Diego State. And now, I'm watching BYU basketball against Portland! We're winning! What a day......
