long awaited...i'm sure.

since i'm sure i have so many people reading my blog who want an update..here ya go! haha.

school is...going pretty great. my classes this semester are actually surprisingly interesting. i'm in a humanities of islam class that is really super interesting. only problem - it's an hour and 15 minute class. i clock out after the regular 50 minutes. for the other 25 i'm just plain antsy!! i'm also in a pearl of great price class - it is hands down my favorite religion class that i have ever taken. i have never learned so many things! each class period is so fascinating. i love it. i'm registered for spring and summer classes. 9 credits each term! i hope i survive. i'm so ready to graduate though!! i just have to push through it. haha.

i am grateful for...the temple being so close. we've been able to go a few times since we got home from Christmas break. i just love it! i feel so happy whenever we come home from being there. i am also grateful for sammy. my lifesaver of a friend. she just gets me. she thinks like i do. she understands me. we don't have to talk. just sit. i like it. she's fun.

i get frustrated when...people don't give credit to BYU for being as hard as it is...or in other words when people think that the grades that they get at other universities are comparable to the grades that BYU students get. I work way harder than you...so just cuz you get good grades - doesn't really mean much to me!  not that i'm stuck up or anything...i promise i'm not. but i'm just sayin. i get frustrated when people don't give the credit that's due!

i love...vanilla diet coke from sonic, owl city, cheesecake brownies, my big comfy bed, google translate, popcorn, blankets, socks, veronica mars (new tv show addiction...too bad it was actually on tv a couple years ago) shade clothing sales, my new rock and republic jeans, toast with butter and honey...just to name a few of my recent loves.

i get happy when...the sun is so shiny! it has been beautiful the last couple days. so sunny. yesterday when i was driving home from school my car said that it was 49 degree's outside! so nice. i love it. i cant wait for spring. apparently the groundhogs this year were conflicted in their opinion..some saw their shadows and some didnt...really? lets just all agree on a story. thanks!

i am recently addicted to...get this...pickles and cheese. i know that's disgusting sounding. but no joke - a valasic dill pickle..and a slice of extra sharp cheese. YUM! i'm not even kidding. its delish. i'm also addicted to walmart brand carbonated flavored water that comes in giant bottles. no sugar..no aspartame...just delicious yum.

we went..to the basketball game on saturday night. super fun. im way glad that we decided to go. it was byu v utah. so it was fun to be there simply by virtue of the fact that it was against our greatest rivals. the crowd was electric. you could feel the buzz in the air. and talk about the opening of the game...i have never seen such an awesome opening!! i was totally giggling the whole time.

i saw...the movie leap year a few weeks ago. it is totally adorable. i love it. and would definitely see it again. it was the perfect chick flick. not too gaga, not too serious, super funny. it was super fun.

i started...project 356. (no, it's not a photo project like everyone else...)

i listen to....so mcuh country music these days! oh how i love it. it makes me feel happy. its kinda how love should be. i like it.

i'm excited for...valentines day!! this is my first married valentines day...greg better not leave me hangin!! last valentines day was...amazing. because i planned it. alena and i stayed up ALL night heart attacking greg and seans apartment. we planed an amazingly extravagant scavenger hunt all through provo - a sort of walk through our relationship, if you will. presents at every stop. it was super cute, if i do say so myself. the scavenger hunt ended at the hot springs in the mountains with zupas for dinner. seriously. it was bomb. one of the funnest dates that i've been on in my life!

well.thats all. boring post. no pictures. no real stories. mostly..i'm just sitting in the library waiting for greg to get out of class and i'm sick of doing homework.

cheers!
