I'm still Alive

Hello all you people who haven't given up faith. I haven't died or anything, it's just really hard for me to get on here to post my pictures in between school and playing around.

So, I'll try to catch up here in the next few days.

Over Thanksgiving, we decorated gingerbread houses, and Nathan (who by the way now has his mission call to Roseville CA):

Later that weekend, we were able to go waterskiing, and my roommate Jacob got to wakeboard for the first time:

The first day of snow was right before finals, so of course we had to stop studying and build a snowman:



We eventually got through the tests and made it home for Christmas. I was really lucky this year because my ENTIRE family was home. It was a little bit of a zoo, but next year I'll be off on a mission, so it was great to have everyone there.
The weather was bad enough that we weren't able to go to the lake and instead we went gun shopping and shooting:





(This is where we took care of the aforementioned gingerbread house.)

When school started back up, there were a few fun things that happened, we climbed up the Y in the snow, and had a 'decades' dance party.

Jacob decided to be the 1850's decade.



For our day off in February, we took a day-trip up to Salt Lake. We went to the Gateway and then the Capital building.





After a black light dance party one weekend, we had a visit from Gavin and Lisa who came from Boise for the weekend.




For my dance class, I had to compete in a mini-competition. I got really lucky because my partner was better than me, AND because I got the best number there:

That weekend, I read about a hotspring that was a nice short winter hike, so we went and found out that instead of being just 2 miles from the road, it was actually 3 miles up the road, before the 2 mile trail. So, we just found some rocks to climb on on the side of the road:

For the long weekend in February, we took a road trip home to Boise, where once again the weather didn't allow us to go Waterskiing. So we went shooting and took care of the rest of the gingerbread houses.







It was really muddy, so we had to wash the cars when we got back. The only problem is that it was also snowing.

So now you're basically caught up on my life. I'd tell you that I'm going to keep it up, but truthfully I probably won't.
