3 months of catching up...;)

Well, the holidays are officially over....

And this is what has been happening the last few months!  (I know, I know. I've been bad at getting ANYTHING done lately.)

Our apartment was in charge of treats after ward prayer, so these are pictures of people hanging out...

 This is my cute roommate Ashley! 

Mid-December, we had a girls' night out at gardner village in Salt Lake. I LOVED that place! So many cute ideas for home decor!

And this is my other cute roommate Lisa.  She saw this lady with a dog, and asked to hold the dog! It was hilarious, because it kept flailing its legs all over the place and its whole body was freaking out....

OK so Advent calendars like this (with the little chocolates inside of them) have special meaning to me!  My dad has this co-worker from Holland that gave me one each year, and I would cherish every day I could open it up and eat a chocolate! Oh the simple joys of life. ;)

OK. 1. I loved this bedset. and 2. I REALLY loved the quote plaque idea....How easy would that be to make!  seriously. All you need is a piece of wood, some paint, and maybe a stencil sheet.  And bam..instead of spending 20-30 bucks on each one, you can make them for very cheap. 

They had these drawings for prizes in the store--and everyone had to scatter and find a "moon walk" number and stand on it....sadly, I didn't win haha...but this lady won some gift wrap that was maybe 5 bucks, and she had been standing on her square for half an hour...and she was so excited.  Way uber excited. It was pretty funny seeing her reaction. (actually I didn't see it, but my friends told me about it!) 

And this is our ward choir practicing for the Christmas performance!  It was pretty fun having so much beautiful music in our apartment :)

Ashley does such a great job planning Enrichment activities! I love it!  She's so dedicated to the gospel, such a Christ-like disciple.  She's everyone's best friend. I hope I can be more like her someday, so I am working on it :)  

 The Modesty Panel...we asked these guys if they would be truthful and tell us what affects them when girls wear certain things.  We also asked them what they liked to see, and it seemed like they really liked modest girls the most, even though they were visually attracted more to the girls who were not modest.  They said that immodest girls are fun to look at, but not fun to keep. 

Ashley taught us how to dress for our body-type.  THAT was fun too! It's always good to get advice on how to look better...

Erin and Jon. Erin is my other cute roommate. And Jon is her fiancee :)  Here they are eating pasta...Jon's favorite. haha

Our ward rented out this place up in Spanish Fork (?) (I forgot what it's called..haha)  It was really homey, and they even got food from Chuck O'Rama. Delicious.

Christmas Morning!  Peter came over and made omelettes, and then we opened presents :)  T'was pretty fun.  The day was the first day we spent all day together--and we realized how different it felt..

Peter made me this jewelry box with stuff from Hobby lobby--clever!  He said he remembered when I said that if someone made me something like that that I would cherish it forever.  So he did it..he even snuck in my room (sneaky) and stole my varnish so he could make it.  

We went shooting the day after Christmas. It was super busy.  Peter brought a lot of targets, and we made some as well.  

 RIP baby minnie mouse....

The End. For now.
