Delayed...

At the airport trying to get home for Christmas...
Flight is delayed for 2 hours...
What to do,
What to do?

One good thing that has come from this situation is a text from my dad:
Dad: Hang in there and get on that plane.
Me: Ok, I will try!
Dad: "There is no try, only do" - Yoda
Thanks for the smile Dad.

December... So Far

So far December has been a blast!
I have been doing so many festive things and really getting into the Christmas spirit.
1 more week till Christmas Eve!

There have been A LOT of Christmas parties to attend.
Last Wednesday was the OrangeSoda Christmas party.
It was held at the Provo Convention Center, which is beautiful!
 My cute date for the night.
Allison and I.
Love this girl.
I'm so lucky that we get to work together!

The very next night was Anders' church Christmas party.
This was a fancy dinner at the SkyRoom for the leaders of the stake.
The food was soooo good.
Well done, BYU.

I've also been making a lot of trips up to Salt Lake on the weekends.
I took the Front Runner from Provo to Draper!
It was so fun.
I made some friends on the train that gave me a free ticket,
so that was a plus.

Anders and I met up with his family in Salt Lake for some pizza and mini golf.
Another really fun evening!
His family is so fun to be around. 



Well, to get into the spirit of Christmas we have been watching A LOT of Christmas movies...
I can't even tell you how many times I have seen Elf and How The Grinch Stole Christmas (HTGSC).
But seriously, I had forgotten how funny HTGSC is.
I laugh so hard every time I watch it.
Other movies we have seen:
Polar Express
Home Alone 1
Home Alone 2
Santa Clause Is Coming To Town
Santa Clause
Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe
Leap Year
THE HOBBIT! 
(Not Christmas related but I had to add it. I enjoyed it but it was super long)
Lots of movie watching going on.

I also made some AMAZING white chocolate popcorn with M&M's.
I didn't take any pictures so I don't have proof.
But I really did, I promise!
Maybe I will just have to make some more to prove it :)

Yesterday Anders made me breakfast,
so I thought it would only be fair that I made him dinner...
Which I did.
Which meant he ended up helping me make most of it.
It was funny, really.
I had to ask him how to cook chicken.
So he told me to boil it...
and I said how do you do that?
I couldn't stop laughing at myself failing miserably making dinner.
I had to text my mom and ask her how to cook corn.
Ridiculous, right?
Anders said it's ok because I'm learning.
Let's just roll with that...

4 days till I go home for Christmas!

Let's Go

Life has been a whirlwind!
And so fun.
School is wrapping up so I am just trying to finish all my big projects and get ready for finals.
I'm really just enjoying this stage of life and being 21.
Lately I have been reflecting on how many amazing people are in my life.
I have such a great group of friends.
They each teach me something about being a better person.
I'm such a lucky girl!
Anyways, here are just a few pictures that I've snapped of my recent escapades. 


 I took some time off from doing homework on Saturday and enjoyed being very very lazy.
 Allison brought me back a present from Disneyland!
Love that girl. 
 Anders and I went to see the lights at Temple Square on Saturday night.
It was sooo crowded but we had so much fun.

Just another fun date night!
Oh, and by the way, Anders is my boyfriend.

Happy Wednesday!
