Going Home!!!

I am so excited! Josh and I both finished our last finals today and now we are off to California tomorrow! Although it would have been a lot of fun to go back east and be with Josh's family, I am really looking forward to warmer weather. It seemed to snow all day. I think snow can be pretty, but I really do like being warm and not stuck under 7 layers of clothes. I am not trying to be pessimistic about the snow, but it isn't fun to run in a couple of inches of snow each morning, first because running shoes were not made to be repel water, and because it is cold I have to wear 2 pairs of exercise pants, three shirts, 2 jackets (one being my snow ski jacket), and gloves just to not die while I am out. Oh but hands got so numb during my run that I wanted to cry, and I was trying to move them the whole time, but it was really hard. I need ear muffs or something too... that would be nice. this is a picture from inside our house of the backyard/ neighbor's yard. It's pretty, but COLD. these next two pictures were taken in California last Christmas break. notice we are both wearing shorts... Anyways, we are leaning tomorrow to drive to California, in separate cars, and hopefully in no snow. I would love it if it didn't snow because that would scare me a lot.

"wow. I am really impressed"

Scariest haircut experience ever.... I decided I needed my haircut, it was getting annoying, so I decided to go down the street to Paul Mitchell the school for a cheap and time consuming haircut. I have liked what I've gotten there before so I was pretty confident. Apparently I was the only one that was confident. The straight guy that cut my hair (he made sure I knew he was straight) started off by telling his instructor person what he was going to do to my hair before he even asked me what I wanted. Thank goodness he read my mind and all I wanted was a simple trim. After I told him how much to trim off he washed my hair where he continued to tell me how he was suing his old boss for a lot of money... so much money that it was taking over three years to get it. Just what I needed to know... As he started to cut my hair he kept looking around the room like he had no idea what he was doing, yah, I was not so confident at this point, I was just hoping it was going to turn out well... Luckily the cut went fine and the instructor came over again and told him how to correctly straighten hair, I never realized it was so hard, but I guess there is a correct technique to it. When he was finally done after and hour and half he looked at my hair and said, "Do you like it? I really like it. I am really impressed, and I even cut it! Yah, I really like it, wow."

I think I might have been his first haircut, luckily I am happy with the results...

Dance Aerobics

I get to teach an aerobic dance class next semester at BYU! I am way excited! It will be so fun, I'll just have to remember to brings lots of water each day so I can get through a whole class without my voice dying. YAY!!

oh snap...

I love crafts! I don't know what has been going on lately, but I always feel like I need to be doing something. I want to make cakes and clothes and quilts and treats and stuff. I never quite get to the making cakes and treats, but that's okay, probably better for my health anyways. Something I was really excited about was a book I made on snapfish with our wedding photos. I got it in the mail on Thursday I was so excited! It is so fun getting packages and letters in the mail! I tried explaining the book a couple of times to Josh, but I guess I wasn't very good at it because when he finally saw it he was suprised it to see it actually was bound like a real book.
So here is a picture of the front. I chose this picture because we look really happy, which is how I always feel when I am with my husband. I can't think of anyone I'd rather be with everyday of my life. He makes me smile and laugh and he always makes me feel good when I am having a hard day. He is absolutely wonderful and I am so blessed to be married to him for all of eternity. I love you!
p.s. Henry (my old van) is running again thanks to Josh fixing the battery.
