It is FREEZING here. The low tonight is 1. 1! As I walked to class this morning, it was 3. Sooo coold. In other news, today is my second to last day of class. EVER. Then finals, and then DONE. Wooo! I am very excited for Christmas! I have already finished all of my Christmas shopping, so let the holidays begin!
Our niece Eva came to visit this weekend. She spent Saturday night and Sunday with us, and it was quite the adventure! She was very excited to come to our place, but I could tell she was also a bit apprehensive about being away from her mom, dad, and sister. She was scared to sleep on the floor, so she ended up sleeping between Johnny and me in our bed! My sister warned me that Eva wakes up at 7:00 every morning, and sure enough, 7:00 rolled around and she sat up in bed and said, "I'm awake! Wake up!" Johnny and I were both super tired from staying up late and then being hit in the face all night by Eva's tiny arms (she must have very vivid dreams!). I woke up with Eva and watched Dora the Explorer for hours/got her dressed for church/let her color/and tried to feed her breakfast but all she would eat was candy and gum (sorry Sarah). Finally, I got her to lay down for a nap (with me...I was exhausted!!) before church started, while Johnny went to a meeting for our church calling. Eva went to church with us and was a perfect little angel, sitting still all through sacrament. She even went to nursery! Johnny and I were both exhausted, and I was ready to give her back to her real parents by the afternoon. We loved having that little girl with us, but I don't know if I can ever be a parent! When we gave Eva back to her parents, Johnny and I both looked at each other and started laughing at how relieved we felt at not having a little child to look after anymore! Maybe some day I'll be able to handle a little one of my own, but for now, nieces and nephews are quite enough for me!
This video has never been posted on our blog...It's from a looong time ago...the summer when we got married. It's Johnny's application video to the Advertising Program at BYU. The requirements were to make a 60 second video about yourself. This thing makes me laugh every time I watch it...ENJOY!
The basketball season has officially begun. I LOVE watching basketball. It is much more easy to stay interested in, I think anyway. These were taken at the first basketball game of the season. So far we haven't missed even one home game. And the 'stache Johnny is sportin in these pictures? Yeah, that thing has since been shaved right off, THANK GOODNESS. Rick and Will are not only our football buddies, but they are also our basketball buddies.
the two of us!
I love Dave Rose...I think he's the best coach ever.
These two little boys were right in front of us during the game. Aren't they cute? The one on the left would mimic everything Johnny did. When Johnny would "boo," he would look back and then start "booing" as well. It was really funny!
Saturday was the Holy War. It is not only the most anticipated game of the year, but it was also our last game as students. Rick and Will, who we have season passes with, walked to the game with us.
Johnny and me at our last game!
the opposing team...booooo
some lovely Ute fans who were on our sideline before the game
our boys in their royal blue 1984 jerseys...they looked so good!!
the Ute fans
injured #47 . . . a lot of the players had his number on their arm
some of the players trying to get the crowd to cheer loud!
BYU football...don't you LOVE the jerseys??!
Will and Johnny watching intensely
Mr. Rick
Logan and Eason both had "God 1st" on their arms...I thought it was cute
the players standing on the benches to watch the games...the players were so excited throughout the whole game...it was great to see!
We WON!!! (and rushed the field!!!)
Johnny was SO excited! He kept hugging me over and over on the field. I was really excited to win as well, but I was SUPER cold, so I was also just excited that it was over. It was such a crazy game!! We loved it. What a great way to end the season!!!
You know, there are a lot of things I love about being in school, but you know what I hate? There's always something more I should be doing. I am never "done." I can never just relax without feeling like there's some kind of school work I should be working on. Even right now.... Aaaagrh. BUT, I only have to get through three more weeks of classes and I'm out of school for good!
Last Saturday Johnny's mom taught me how to knit! I know how to crochet, but I've always been intimidated by knitting for some reason. Anyway, I am loving it and finding it a bit addicting. I'm working on my first little project right now. Yippee! Note: This amazing picture is by Johnny's mom as well. She's a very talented lady :)

Lately Johnny and I have been playing Scrabble a lot. It gets very competitive. So far the score is tied, so we'll have to see who wins our next game!

When you're craving an all-around good burger, it sure is nice to have an IN-N-OUT right down the street.
