Five Years Ago...

I remember how hard it was to be away from home, how much I wish I could have been there to hold her hand and say good-bye and thank-you for being such a great example to us. I know she's happy and that she loves us and that we will see her again, but still I miss our neighbor lady so much sometimes.

What do you call cheese that isn't yours?

Well since i have a camera now it seems pretty fun to post new pictures and such on the blog so here is another one! I had a fun week, i went to the basketball game vs. oregon and it was awesome. we are planning on going to watch the stanford game in a couple weeks too!

These are my friends i went to the game with and the middle one is bryan my new good friend who lives a floor above me that i met the first day of church. We hang out quite a bit. This quarter is really cool, my clases are much chillaxed and less rigorous. It is nice and it has really allowed me to spend more time to focus on the more difficult chemistry and having more time to study, i find that i realyl enjoy it! Also, the new quarter has been fun because you start out knowwing people from last quarter and you arent just trying to meet new people. Its cool seeing everyone after break that you were so used to seeing and living with everyday! Also, im having a lot more fun with my roommates. A few nights we stayed up talking to each other and telling jokes and stuff and it was really fun. All three of us love the office ALOT and so we usually can be found going to the store to get ice cream and watching a season three in our room. its been fun getting to hang out wiht them more!

On the left is patrick a tall guy, and loves his laptop, and on the right is Abed who likes music and movies.

ANSWER: Nacho (Not your) cheese!

Holiday fun!!

I know it has taken a while to put up the pictures, but its better late than never! The first one is of our wonderful family (well just the boys were home) going out on our annual christmas tree shopping. Neil started off the comic relief by wearing his nice christmas sweater he bought from a thrift shop, followed by carl's customized yet chic outfit and my bright retro sweater. Wow such a fashionable fam! The second picture is from Christmas morning as we were opening presents. It was the first picture i took on my new digital camera (thanks mom and dad!) It was sad not having Terra and Jeremy there but we still had fun!
