This Weekend's Happenings..

So now that school is over, I have all of this free time on my hands and it is really freaking me out!! I have sure found ways to keep myself busy though that is for sure..

Friday Carson came down to Layton and we loaded all of my stuff up in the snowmobile trailer and moved me up to Wyoming!

Being the organizing freak that I am, I unpacked and organized EVERYTHING that same day and I love it! I really feel at home here and my room is so cozy! (Oh and can I just tell you, there were framed pictures and 2 dozen roses waiting for me in my room when I got there!!)

So before all of this moving though I watched this show with my family in Layton and LOVED IT!

And ever since watching it, I have wanted to make Bruschetta..and Saturday night I did just that! Everything was FRESH and SO yummy! Here are the results:

Has anyone ever noticed that pictures never do food justice?!


Saturday afternoon Cars and I went to the mountains to get a Christmas Tree!! I took LOTS of pictures of that.. here are my favs:

After I made him follow me around for a good 20-30 minutes, I finally picked out a baby tree for my room! He went to get it and came back with an even better one than I picked out..I did not find out that it wasn't the one I picked until later...haha

Here it is in my new room all lit up :)

Here is a shot of our tree out in the front room.. long story short, we both have A TON of Christmas tree decorations but didn't want to dig them out of storage, so we bought a few bulbs and made a ton of awesome snowflakes to put on our tree!

And to be honest, the fun we had making the snowflakes and the effort we both had to put into it made it that much better when it was done! I loved it!

That brings us to today, also known as Sunday. The snow has been falling, and yes, the wind was definitely blowing! We had a fire going, tree lights on, and watched Julie and Julia(yes, AGAIN. Told you I love that show).

And now, I am going to bed extra early because it is my second, first day at work tomorrow! Now I will be going to work everyday, counting money and typing away on the 10-key... Wish me luck!

Love and Miss you all.

The End of the Beginning

Usually that statement is said backwards.. but I wrote it that way intentionally.

Why you ask? Well let me tell you ..

The End of:
Fall Semester
Living in Utah
Feeling Stressed
Missing Carson
Working dead end jobs

The Beginning of:
My holiday season(FINALLY!!!)
A new semester(in a couple weeks)
Living in Wyoming
A new job
Applying for my future in Radiology
Never missing Carson

I am back. I know, I missed you too.

ahhh

I know that most people get to be slow bloggers around this time of year, but it is KILLING me not to have time to post!

Bear with me.

3 Days left of classes and Finals are next week.

See you around the 11th.

A few reasons..

It's going to be a good week...wanna know why?

When Monday starts out good, there is no way that any of the other days can be bad.

*I found out today that my 98 percent on my BioMed test is actually a 100 percent. One little test may not seem like anything special..but these tests are a HUGE deal..which makes it that much better.

*It is offically Winter. And I just happen to love Winter.

*Thursday is Thanksgiving so this week is technically only 3 days long. Oh my exciting.

P.S. Can I just tell you how hilarious I think it is that my entire family has a cold and I don't?(I am one of those people who gets EVERYTHING anyone gets)
The only explanation is that they got the swine flu shot and I didn't... Love it.

What's New

I can honestly say, I think this is one of the busiest times of my life. A lot is going on and will be going on over the next month and a half!


This is where I am grateful for the blog.. first of all, it is the easiest way to update the people who mean a lot to me with what is going on and second, it always makes me feel better(by better I mean more organized/a little less stressed) when I write all of it down..hence the 10 to-do lists I have that all have the EXACT same things on them.


-School is seriously SO close to being over. I wish I could put it in better perspective for you, but the only way I can explain it is this: after Thanksgiving, I have 3 Days of classes left. Thats it. Then I have a COMPREHENSIVE(we all know what pain this word brings) final exam every single day of the next week. Then its really over.


-I am taking a permanent vacation to Wyoming after this semester. Just because.


-Which means I will be finishing classes online. And yes I am still applying for the Radiology Program(through Evanston Regional Hospital=better chances of getting in people!). This is all good news.


-Which also means that I would need a job because sadly, this world revolves around making money.. I did manage to apply, interview, and obtain a position at this place though!


I will be a Teller again, I am so grateful to have gotten a job!

-This ALSO means that I do not work at the gym anymore. Which strangely enough, I think was meant to be, because I have been busy every second of every day with nothing other than..school!



And in-between random facts are always a must on posts like this!

-I am drinking a Diet Coke right now because I had the biggest craving for one..and it is practically disgusting.
I never thought I would say that about Diet Coke. Ever.

-I think iTunes and Fox are absolutely brilliant for getting together and making the songs from Glee available on iTunes.. I am one of millions(I'm sure) that have to buy at least one song a week.

-My mom is out Christmas shopping right now. I can't say I wouldn't be doing the same if I was in a little bit of a different situation. But still...

That is all I have to tell you for now.

p.s. Jenny, I am sorry this is almost exactly like your randoms post.. realized that after I wrote it and read yours. But funny how much we think alike!
