Let's be real though.. the real craziness right now is the Holidays!!! I abso-freaking love this time of year! It's all about family, friends, and food (Mmmmmm... food!). It's so great.
Thanksgiving:
This year, our family get together was so small. It was really weird too because I didn't have my best buddy there. It's chill though because he got two meals and one of them involved a deep fried turkey so.. yeah. He's fine. The food was amazing and I don't think I've ever eaten that much in my life. EVER.
I also got some major Black Friday shopping done too. My cousin Kellie and I woke up at the crack of dawn to head over to Smith's Marketplace. She is a hoot! We had a blast quoting Studio C's "Lobster Bisque" and talking in the most absurd voices. It was great! We also went to Walmart which was pretty great too. My mom and I went to Old Navy to grab some of their AWESOME 50% off deals. I am sooo stoked for Christmas so I can start wearing a bunch of the cute stuff I got!
Before I left for the break, Kayla and I transformed our apartment into a winter wonderland. It's pretty great and totally made our apartment feel more like a home. I'm going to miss that lady so much! She's so great and Pittsburgh is one heck of a lucky place! She is the glue that holds my apartment together. She is simply amazing. But I heard we are getting Marissa Bailey's sister as a roommate and she is the cutest darn thing. I'm really glad we get such a cutie!
Finals:
I've had some really great classes this semester. My favorite is probably my religious studies because my professor is probably the coolest dude ever. I've had so much fun and love all the buddies I've made! Next semester is probably going to be super crazy but I'm geared up and totally ready.
I took my first final this Wednesday and ACED IT! I officially have an A in that class and I feel so good about it. I definitely have not gotten as much sleep as I need though. Whatever though, that's what Christmas Break is for, right? Studying is basically the only thing I ever do now. I feel like I have turned into the anti-social caterpillar.. That doesn't really make sense. (Sleep Deprivation is setting in!) But after next week, my life will be soooo much better!
I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!! I'm so excited! It's fine! We set up our Christmas lights before I came back up to Logan and have to say my house is looking FABULOUS! This is seriously my favorite time of year. I love spending time with family and friends. I'm probably going to go to Temple Square for the lights and hot chocolate. I've been really thinking about my cute grandma who passed away about six years ago. She always made the holidays so much fun! She probably sparked my love for Christmas music. Gotta love that Grandma Geniel! It's probably just going to be my parents, brother, grandpa Garn and me for Christmas this year! Super small and weird. But it'll still be really fun! I can't wait!
My goal this month is to really find the Christ in Christmas. This time of year is really fun, but sometimes we get distracted with the parties, fun and sometimes the stress of the holidays. I know that if we search for Christ's love, and really do take time to remember him and all that he has done for us this season, we will truly be blessed with the Spirit of the Lord being upon us. I know that when we feel His spirit and the witness of the Holy Ghost, the peace we feel is a gift that is truly priceless.
