Well a new year has begun, and 2012 will be missed. For New Year's Eve, Challie, Megan and I had planned to go to Megan's apartment in Orem and have some other people over as well for a little get together. Well, we got to her place, and realized that her roommate was there and having a party of her own. So we relocated to my dorm! It was really fun to go back, but strange to have no one on campus or in the building.
Last moments of 2012.
Happy New Year!!
January marks the start of a crazy thing I'm trying, inspired by my roommate Jean! No sugar for the whole month. Of course, just processed sugars, not the natural sugar found in food. So if sugar is on the ingredient list, or fructose or whatever, I can't have it. Boy has it been hard! But I've gone almost a week now, so I'm a fourth of the way done. If Jean did it, so can I! Wish me luck, and please don't tempt me with sugary foods. (:
Wednesday me and Challie hung out, and it was an eventful night!
(side note: like how we look the same with our glasses, brown hair, and bangs?)
First we visited our previous place of employment, Iceberg!! I like visiting there way too much. Next, we headed to Scheels. It was my first time there, and I felt like a little kid at a candy store, ooo-ing and ahh-ing at everything. I had free tokens for the ferris wheel, so you better believe we rode that thing and enjoyed it more than half the kids on it.
One funny story, while at the very top of the ferris wheel, I took Challie's phone to take a picture of us because I left mine at the bottom. I stuck my arm out and held her phone over the edge of the ferris wheel, not even thinking about it. Of course, this gave her a little heart attack! With my bad record for breaking phones, she had every right to be nervous! Luckily her phone did not fall, and she is a good friend and didn't even get mad.
Our next stop for the night was the good old dollar theater, where we saw Perks of Being a Wallflower. Such a different movie, but we both loved it. One of those movies that just makes you think.
Then on a whim, we went sledding! 11 at night and about 10 degrees outside. We went to my old school, Lone Peak Elementary, where there are signs everywhere saying 'no sledding.' We're such rebels. (; It was incredible though, we were seriously flying down the hill, across the field, and almost ran into the railing every single time.
Finally our night ended at her house buried in blankets, drinking hot chocolate (sugar-free for me of course), and watching another movie, one we got from Redbox called 10 years. I do NOT recommend it, even though Channing Tatum is quite the eye candy.
I've gotten some new photo apps recently, which I've been toying around with non stop. I love 'em! The possibilities are endless. Here are some samples:
IT'S SO FUN. A lot of these take quite a few different apps to get to the finished product, but its so worth it.
On Friday, Megan, Challie, and I hung out. We didn't have any ideas of what to do, so we kind of just drove around, hung out, and talked. We made a stop to the gorgeous Draper park with it's amazing tree-light display.
Love these girls, and so happy we got to hang out lots over break.
Saturday I made a trip to Provo to drop off some things at my dorm and go grocery shopping. I must say, my mother's sale shopping has rub off on me. I live for sales, and it makes me happy to see basically every single thing I buy is on sale! Score.
I just had to share >>this article<< that my mom recommended, it is incredible, and something that I really want to apply in my life. Worth the read, I promise!!
Now the time has come for second semester. I sit in my dorm writing this, wondering where the 3 weeks off went! I don't feel nearly prepared enough at all for class to start tomorrow, but ready or not, here it comes! Back into the routine of early mornings, work, school, and homework. Let's do this.
