Utah is finally looking like Utah again, and it sure is beautiful. I'm not big on winter or cold or snowy dangerous roads, but when the world look like this, it's hard to find a reason to complain. And since it does look quite lovely, Sarah and I decided to take a trip up into the mountains to take a few pictures. Behind us, there were a bunch of sledders staring at us like we were crazy, but honey badger don't care.

Christmas was lovely. It was a day filled with family and loved ones and it was truly magical and joyful. I was gifted mostly clothes and gift cards (every girls dream am I right?) Now that Christmas is over, I plan on spending the rest of the Christmas break relaxing and eating and figuring out what I want to do for the New Year. Also I plan on watching every single episode of Grey's Anatomy. I'm obsessed #help.

I'm not big on New Years Resolutions because I never seem to keep them, but I love to make a list of things to focus on. General things to think about and improve on if I can. I'm hoping to work on my creativity a bit this year among other things. What are you guys hoping to focus on?

WOW HI! Where have I been? Has it really been a month?? Gosh I can't believe it's been that long since I've posted. Ahh well, GUYS! School is over and I'M OVER THE MOON. SO EXCITED I MUST TYPE IN ALL CAPS. Gosh it's just the most wonderful feeling to sit down on Sunday night and be like, "Crap, how much homework do I have due tomorrow?? How long is my to-do list?" and then suddenly realizing that you have zero homework and your to-do list is nonexistent. The feeling is straight up euphoric and I'm considering never going back to school so I can feel this way always and forever. 

This time of year is my favorite. Everyone is all warm and fuzzy inside and I tend to get sentimental about just about everything. I wear my comfiest sweats all day long and, if you're looking for me, you can find me snuggled in with hot chocolate and a good movie. It's all cold and frosty outside so you gotta hold hands and get close to stay warm...and everyone is just filled with so much love and giving, it's just magical. Not to mention, Christ's name and message is constantly floating through the air...each December I'm reminded of how grateful I am for Him and for the amazing gift He is to this world. Is there anything bad about December? I'm tellin' ya I don't think there is.

Utah has forgotten who she is this year and decided that we don't have the best snow on earth? Or something? It's all anyone is talking about these days: Where the cuss is the freaking snow?? All of our fretting hearts are being put to rest however, as Mr. Weatherman has given us the forecast of snowfall for Christmas Day. I think everyone is a bit giddy about it. Hooray for white Christmases and happiness and joy. The end.
