Winter time

Winter has officially happened in Nebraska.  More like walked up and slapped me in the face...  Anyway, it snowed, and I'm officially inconvenienced by scraping ice off my car while still attempting to sleep in as much as possible.  Seriously, my ability to push the snooze button has reached epic proportions.  I hate driving in the snow (I may have had a little run-in with some ice, and one of those poles in the median), but even I will admit it's beautiful.

Winter Quarter's temple.

This year my Christmas came out dangerously early.  Well then my awesome mom sent me a package full of extra ornaments for my tree.  Awesome, right?  Too bad I had already decorated, and I'm only slightly OCD about where the ornaments go (ask the old roommates), which made new additions a bit challenging.  I think it turned out pretty well, but if I wanted to use all the ornaments, I need a bigger tree!  Now I have this random montage of red, white, and black on my tree.  Don't worry, it is fully equipped with 6-inch red balls, black and white icicles, random red feather stick thingies, black snowflakes, and a bunch of Utah gear!  (Now do you get the red, white, and black theme?!)

My little Utah Nutcracker!

Speaking of Nutcrackers, I got to go see the Nutcracker last week with my friend Zach.  Creighton put on a performance, and one of the girls in our ward was in it.  I loved it!

 In the meantime, I am supposed to be studying for finals and Boards right now.  Yuck, right?  You know, it's probably a bad thing that the only snack food I find appealing right now happens to be my orange gummy vitamin Cs.  I'm probably going to need to make a serious munchie run this weekend before I overdose on ascorbic acid and diet coke.
