Christmas '10

Woot, so like on New Years eve I went ice skating with Mitchel, and saw my deaf friend Gideon plus his family we all skated together and had fun. Then later Mitch and I went to a grocery store and purchased fuzes and a cookie for me which he wouldn't let me eat until after I had my lunch. So back at the house we had soup for lunch, and then root beer floats and sat on the couch talking it was really nice and relaxing.
Later that day Dad and I watched Narnia 1 which I fell asleep watching. Grandma and Grandpa Hill came over to give us a gift then Dad and i went back to watching the second one. part way through I went to mom and asked if I had pjs this year and then I put them on and went to finish the movie and off to bed early.

XMAS I was up and going by 7:30 and then mom and dad made me wait so we didn't start till like an hour later. It was a great christmas I got some cute boots, adn some BKE jeans from Buckle, a new purse, flat/ curling iron, book, P.s. I love you, the illusionist, xmas countdown, calendar, bath stuff, hair stuff, stuff stuff stuff. it was a great xmas.
Dad made an omlet for all three of us for breakfast.
Mom, Dad, and I went to see the new Narnia 3 movie which was pretty good. So I spent most my day just watching movies. That night I was invited over to Trevors parents house in Lindon to have a game night. we played multiple games, i enjoyed the Just Dance 2 the best.
That was my xmas this year and It was quite enjoyable!

Farewell to Mitch

AAAAAAAAAAA i'm getting old!! One of my best friends from Elementary school in my little gang had his mission farewell and we hung out for the last time. His farewell talk was great, and I realized how old we are and how far we have come, we are all growing up. Before he left we had the opportunity to get the gang together and have a snowball fight, watch a movie like old times, and we went ice skating together. Then after his farewell we got together and went to Lazzer Assault, It was a blast to go out and have fun one last time before he left.

Fun Date

So over the weekend some random number kept calling my cell and I was SO not gonna answer it, but on sunday I finally decided to see who it was. It was Mitchel Shira from the game nights i'd been to with Aileen. He asked me to go on a double date with him, Steve, and Lisa.

When he picked me up we first headed off to the Olive Garden for dinner! I was nervous cause I can't eat in front of guys. Turns out... I can eat in front of him, and I enjoyed our conversation of asian food, and family, dinner was delicious.

Following dinner we headed over to the Ice Rink just in time to skate for 30min before public ended. The disco ball was going and we had a blast! I attempted to teach Mitchel a few things and he attempted to try and actually did quite well. So although we didn't have alot of time to skate we did have tons of fun, Mitch and I even decide we should come again sometime to skate longer. On our way out the door I said goodbye to some of the people I knew who were working, one of them, mouthed to me.. "He's Hot!" i was like "I know right?" then we started to laugh. :)
Following our adventure in skating, Steve drove us to Smiths, we split up in search for things to make Apple cider, It took me and Mitch awaile to find our stuff lol. Back at Steves appartment Lisa and I met his roomates as Steve changed his shoes. Now this is where the real fun begins! All four of us went out front of his appartment and had an epic snowball fight! Mitch and I VS. Steve and Lisa. We were running from each other and just clobbering snow, One of my snowballs hit Steve in the face and so he started after me, luckily Mitchel got in the way and took him out for me. Then we decided to build a snowman. Mitch and I were in charge of the middle piece which ended up being bigger then the bottom. It took us 5 people to get it on and that was only with half of our middle piece. The men sculpted and awesome looking face out of the snow and we also place a hat upon his head. While Steve an Lisa made a second snowman for our snowman to be standing on, Mitch an I tried to make an arm... it wasn't strong enough but that was okay, we gave him a sword and he looked AWESOME. any way next thing I know Mitch is standing by the door and Steve has a snowball aimed for him, so I got a huge snowball and came around the snowman and told steve to drop it! and then he threw it at mitch so I threw mine and steve and then mitch and I were just chasing him and throwing snow. i ended up falling in the snow but mitch said he'd avenge my death, it was TONS OF FUN!

After our adventures outside we headed in to make some Apple Cider which by the way was delicious! as we enjoyed that we sat and all just talked of all kinds of things. Like his mission in Korea. I had a WONDERFUL time with Mitchel!!

Temple Lights.

Aileen, Logan and I all wanted to see the SLC Temple lights so we made it a plan to go. First we went to a place called Jdawgs to eat, it was so delicious that i spilled the sauce on myself, and I couldn't decide what drink to get so I mixed Dr.Pepper and Apple Beer together and it was pretty good.
Once as we got to SLC it took us a while to find parking, we ended parking up the hill a few blocks away. Once there we walked around near the reflection water, asked a few strangers to take some photos of us and continued on. We decided to check out the lights inside the gates before they locked them and on our way there I heard someone say my name, when I turned around I saw a girl looking at me, and couldn't believe who it was. We hugged and greeted then departed. It was an interesting experience considering how several days leading up to the night I felt as though I would run into someone I knew out of a certain party of friends I knew and sure enough it happend. I got a little emotional. The lights inside the gate were pretty cool but we enjoyed the other lights more. We ventured up above the reflections pool and found several differnt nativity sets that were quite interesting, and some candle shades with pictures of christs life. it was reallly neat!
On our way back near the point of the mt. it got a little more snowy and traffice slowed down quite a bit. We ended up playing 20 questions after the point of the mt. all the way back to his appartment. Once there we went accross the street to his friends and watched Peter Pan! great movie.
Any way I had a ton of fun and am glad we had the chance to go.

Fun Nights Out..

After the Nutcracker and work I ended up at Logans with him and Josh we watched "The Sorcerers Apprentice." it was a great movie.

This past weekend on Friday after skating practice and work I was just turning on the car and saw the temple with the night lights on and all and just felt that I should go tonight so when I got home I went to call Aileen, there were two txts from her already saying we should go so of course we did! it was a great experience and exactly where we needed to be. After that we were on campus and we saw our cousins Chris and his wife Chealsie and then their friend. We went to the library and got a movie for Aileen.

Josh and I were texting and he invited us to watch a movie at Logans. So after running to rite aid we arrived and he wasn't even there yet. there was someone who did look familiar but he recognized Aileen instead haha his name is Trevor we met at the murder mystery. Logan still looks extreamly familiar to me and we just can't figure it out! Any way they were inviting ppl over to watch ELF and have hot chocolate. so two other guys and a girl showed up. The movie was good and so was everyones comapany. it was nice to be there after the Temple.

The Following day(this past saturday) Josh and I had planned to go Ice skating again for him to try his own skates. But he first had to babysit his neices and nephews, their movie didn't get over in time to go skating so we went for a walk instead... it was nice. When we returned we played a few rounds of Pool, the second round was fun because it never ended! haha. We sat for a bit on the big love sac, when another girl came in and started to talk to Josh. They were trying to figure out how to hook up her ipod to the sound system. While they did that I tried to play the piano off of memory but it wasn't working. Josh played the piano too and it was beautiful. Well it ended all way too soon! he had to met up with a mish comp to see the movie Inception so we said our goodbyes.

Later as I was watching the Jazz game and on the computer Logan asked if Aileen and I wanted to go to Trevors sisters house to play rockband. After Aileen finished studying we headed over, Josh didn't come cause he saw a movie with someone else and wasn't up to it. Well we got there right as they finished playing rockband, but just intime to play some other games. More people showed up (I met Haley Trevors sister, Mitchel, Daniel, and more) so we all split into two difernt rooms. Logan went to the other while Aileen and I stayed. The first game we played was sighns. The second game was called Moose Moose. it was SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!! I love that game! Though after a few rounds some ppl in our group left so the other group returned and we played a bigger round of Moose Moose. Lets see if I can explain it right.. One person is Moose moose, the seat next to them is the lowest seat. each person/seat has a sign and sound. so lets say there is a snake(sssss), a dog(arf arf), cougar (roar roar), for example the person who is moose starts "moose moose, arf arf" "arf arf, ssssss" "sssssss moose moose" "moose moose roar roar" etc. the game gets fast and crazy if you mess up the sound or sign you have to sit in the lowest seat next to moose moose and everyone moves a seat thus chaning the animal you were before. Get it?

Afterward Aileen and I ended up at Josh's apartment and we had pizza outside on the picnic table. we just chatted for a bit but it was really nice just to sit there and enjoy each others company. It had been a long but enjoyable day.

The Nutcracker on Ice

1st day of the show, I came by the rink in the afternoon to help set up the back drop and then returned home. Well the first show was a success, it felt just like dress rehersal though.
The first number I was in was the oppening christmas party and I played as a parent. While standing on the side watching the others with their solos my partner in crime Lindsay S. and I sneeked off the ice to change for our next number as Wind up Dolls, it was my fav number. well we got back there changed and put our hair in pig tales. After this number we went around to the other side of the rink for the Snowflake (syncro) number. When this one is done we have intermission. Then near the end of the second half, most of us from the snowflake group came out as flowers and skated to Waltz of the flowers with my coach Rory.

The second day was even better it was amazing! everything was going perfectly!! We even finished the two big boxes(present) that Lindsay and I were supposed to be in for our doll number. The day before since we didn't have them we just bent over and was pushed out. So this time we were behind these boxes so no one could see us, we were pushed out and then bent over so when the boxes moved we were suddenly there! it was AWESOME! Lindsay and I did really good and were synced pretty well. For the snowflake number we did a great job two the whole group did better then we ever have and the lifts went well too. During intermission some of us went into the lobby. I ran into my cuz Aileen, Saw my 1st coach Allison, and then ran into my friend Josh. As we were chatting a women came up and asked if her daughter could get a photo with me. I felt so famous haha. Then I saw some of my students from LTS with there faces all lit up. Josh's younger sister came up and I was able to meet her and his nephew. Then it was back to get ready for our number. Finally we came out for the flower number, it went very well. my fav part was when my coach did a back flip and the crowd just went nuts!! For the bowing Lindsay and I decided to do our syncro jump and it went well.
After ward Emma my cuz and I got a rose from my dad. I went up stairs to get photos with my sister Kelsi +fam and with my dad. Then Josh came over and I met his other sister and got a photo with him.

I really enjoyed the nutcracker and wish we did it for a few more extra days.
