Some things simply matter more than others

INVASION!

I am very tired of typing in the address for this lovely blog only to see the SAME picture of the lovely North Dakota sunset, so I'm taking things into my own hands. Also, I'm trying to keep from falling asleep on this nice Sunday afternoon (I know, unbelievable).

I saw most of you at Christmas, so I suppose I could throw in some fun facts in the 2 months that have passed.


This is actually from before the break, right as I was switching rooms. You can see my birthday quilt (thanks Mom and Dad :D), and my belongings, which are much more organized now.



I WENT TO MY FIRST EVER CONCERT..in the Wilk. It was Matt Costa (Don't worry, I'd never heard of him before either), and it was a fun little experience with some friends.



This is my roomate, Mariah. Living with her has been such a joy. She is one of the most kindhearted and accommodating people I've known, so living with her is just easy, and lots of fun. On Valentine's Day, we knew, along with our friend Sarah, that we weren't gonna have Valentines, so we were eachother's Valentines. I am also holding my nerf-gun-turned-cupid-arrows (thanks Suzie!). I wrote little messages on the darts ("just kiss her" "this doesn't happen every day" etc) and then shot random couples. However, most people didn't read the darts and got offended by being shot at; I'll wear wings next year, so maybe it will be clearer.

And I did end up having a fun date that night with my friend Skyler. We got frozen yogurt (of course) and talked for a long time. Relaxed and fun.



We had a day off for President's day, so a bunch of us decided to go on a hike to Stewart Falls. In the middle of winter--we're freshmen, give us a break :D. But we weren't adequately dressed so some of us thought we would be smart and hike Timp instead. KIDDING. We just hung out and pretended to make a fire and laughed and stuff.


And just this last weekend we went and played broomball at the 7 peaks ice arena. I had a serious advantage with 3 years of practice from high school gym class (one of the few head-starts Bismarck Public Schools gave me). I have lots of bruises, but no pictures, so you will just have to imagine me running all over the ice. I did score 2 goals and ran into people a lot, so it was a good use of time.

So this post is a random selection of things I've done, but I mostly picked the pictures from what was available on facebook. Speaking of which, that is a pretty accurate depiction of how I'm doing. I love being able to stay in touch with you guys that way. (Also, it was great seeing the COXES this week--thanks for making the time in your busyness, Ben and Em! It meant a lot). I love being so close to the Adamzes.

AND I LOVE YOU, FAMILY.

Ok, permission to Blog returned to Yomamma. Signing out.

Don't know if there's any way to say how glad I am you "invaded" the blog. I have been considering doing away with it in the last few weeks. But I don't know how... So, now we have a long weekend (no Seminary, no classes, no excuses), and my guilt level is as high as it should ever get - I think I better do as you do. Love you, my inspiring child!!!

P.S. Maybe you should just take it over... ;-)
