A party a day is sure to keep me pleasant and plump!

Well the week before Christmas I had a party every day! It was so much fun. Starting with UVU's kids night on Monday, a trip to temple square on Tuesday, Cohort Party on Wednesday, Party with my momma on Thursday (OK we just were shopping) and my friend party on Friday! It was so much fun. Here are some pictures that highlight each party! At our cohort party we drew names so we did our gift exchange, ate some food, and then played games. We played a game called guess the professor. It was so funny. At my friend party we each had to bring a basket that had a them. For example everything pink, or lazy day, or baby it's cold outside. It was a really fun thing. I ended up with Jami's "as seen on TV" basket, it included a snuggie, (which I wanted so badly) bumpits, and smooth away! It was a great party! On Sunday night before we watched our Christmas movie (we have been watching a Christmas movie every Sunday since the beginning of November) we decided to have a white elephant exchange. So much fun. I got a golden piggy bank! :)

One more down!

The crew at the Ed psych fair. Gotta love that extra credit!

So much work to be done! We sent this picture to our fifth grade class, to let them know we would rather be with them than taking finals!

The good news is THE SEMESTER IS OVER, the bad news is: I have to go back in three weeks! Just kidding, I really am loving school. My classes are great and I love the girls and ladies in the cohort! We have a good time no matter what we do! This is me when I completed my Junior Teacher Work Sample....a.k.a. a really large assignment. The other picture is of my awesome field partner Teresa Segura....a.k.a. Mrs. Seguro! There is also a group picture, not everyone is in it though! :( Looking forward to a little break however!

Christmas Time is Here again!

There is nothing better than the holidays! A month that you can party all month long, yup I just love it! This week has been filled with Christmas parties. Starting with Kid's night with Santa on Monday, trip to Temple Square on Tuesday, Cohort party on Wednesday, Christmas shopping with mom on Thursday, and party with the Dirty Dozen on Friday! I can't believe Christmas is in a week. I feel like it was just Christmas. This year has gone by so fast. Looking forward to the Holiday!

Gobble til ya wobble....

Thanksgiving is one day of the year that you can EAT all day long, and feel ok about it! I have always loved Thanksgiving. To me it isn't all about the food, but it is the time that I get to spend with my family. From this day til the end of the year we will find ourselves playing games on a nightly basis, watching movies, and of course eating yummy food. I have a lot to be thankful for. Including my amazing family and friends. My list can go on and on. Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I forgot to mention one of my favorite events that is associated with Thanksgiving, BLACK FRIDAY, what a crazy day. I look forward to this shopping event all year!

Visiting our Nation's Capital!

I know it has taken me forever to get post pictures from my trip, but I am finally getting around to it! I was lucky enough to visit Washington D.C. for a third time. I traveled with UVU Student Government. I was a little nervous at first, but ended up having such a great time. I got to meet a lot of great people, and see some great sites. This trip to D.C. was very different than my previous two. This time I was able to see and visit wherever I wanted to. One thing that was a must see was Arlington Cemetery, what an amazing place. It was so beautiful with the fall colors. I also wanted to visit some of the Smithsonian exhibits. I also saw some new attractions like the electronic super highway at one of the art museums. We also spent some time at the capitol meeting with senators and representatives. It was way cool to do this. (I kinda felt important). My time in D.C. went by so quickly. I really love the city life, but it was nice to come home.

Happy Halloween!!

All I can say is I have the BEST cohort! We really do have such a great time! We decided to dress up this week for the college's dress up day! (When I say we decided I really mean I made them dress up to support student government) They are so great! I am going to miss them all when we are in field! Teresa won the best costume (bird lady) contest! With Lindsey, or should I say Stacey in second! It was a fun day! Thanks for dressing up gals!
