ward basketball.

i finally decided to be a supportive wife and go to greg's ward basketball game. it was the last one of the tournament (cuz...they lost, unfortunately). i was so glad that i did! he is so dang good! yes, i am biased, but you should have seen his 3 pointers! what a stud. they lost to THE MOST OBNOXIOUS team. which makes it even harder to loose. Bummer. We came home and 20 minutes later he was off to his intermural football game. what a guy. im glad that he goes. he always comes home so happy and talking about how he has so much fun with the guys he goes with. i'm so happy for him. now, if only i could make super great girl friends...wouldn't that be nice? haha.

we are slowly packing...today my sweet hubby fixed our garage door opener and hooked up the washer and dryer while i was at school. it was so exciting to drive up to our house, open the garage, drive in from the crazy blizzard, and shut the door, then get out of the car in a dry, warmish sort of place. oh i loved it!! i'm so excited to move. i seriously can't believe how lucky we are to have found this place. i love it so much. i love everything right down to the olive green sinks (oh yeah buddy, straight from the 60's).  my boss was nice enough to let me take the day off tomorrow, so hopefully we will be able to get alllll packed up and moved out! saturday morning a few of my sweet sweet friends are coming to help me clean my apartment. so nice of them. rachel didn't even have to be asked. she totally offered. so cool! im a little embarrassed to have them help me clean our apartment...but the help with be much appreciated. i think i might bake them a treat :]

i have a 10 page research paper first draft due on wednesday. have a i started? well, no, i haven't. but don't worry, i wrote my french satire and rocked my french test. so it was a productive day right?? i think so.

once upon a time, it was after dinner at the london centre. everyone had plans for the night, except me and sammy. surprise! so, we hopped on the tube and went down to trafalgar square, walked around a bit, made our way to ciaos for a delicious ice cream creation, and then, hit another wall. we really wanted to do something exciting. we made our way to the dicounted ticket booth, but nothing jumped out at us as being worth the money. so we just kinda walked around aimlessly trying to find something to entertain us. several people from the program had been trying to get tickets to mama mia, but they had repeatedly been told that there were no student tickets. well, we don't take no for an answer! so we walked into the mama mia theater literally 10 minutes before the show started, we put on our cutest faces, and walked up to the ticket window. "do you have any student tickets for tonight's performance?" "let me check...yes i have 2 front row center tickets, 35 pounds" literally we were front and center. so close that we could see the actors spitting when they sang, we could see the hair on sophies legs, and the butterfly tramp stamp that she so feebly tried to cover up with make up. it was awesome. it was so much fun. after the show was over, the cast came back on stage, disco balls were lowered out of the ceiling, and neon colored flashing lights appeared. the cast AND the audience then sang every major song from the production for the next 45 minutes. we were singing at the top of our lungs, dancing in the isles, and having a blast. it was the coolest show. i loved it. i loved even more that is was so completely spur of the moment!! it was a blast. i can't wait until legally blonde. 3 weeks!!
