Who doesn't love food??

This is the first of a couple food posts. I realized a bunch of food pictures, and I figured i needed to do something with them :) One Sunday morning my bestie Lydia came over and we made Skittle pancakes, and BOY were the good. Check out all the nummy RAINBOW goodness. Did you know that there's the same number of letters in rainbow as there are colors in the rainbow? Me either until I changed the font on the word rainbow :) My roommates and I also enjoy roasting marshmallows over an open stove. They are quite delicious. We tried making smores with melted chocolate chips. It kinda worked lol. The last picture is my SUPER DELICIOUS BREAKFAST!!! I make breakfast for myself occasionally, but this one was especially beautiful and healthy. And it had BACON!!!

IT's A FLOWER!!!

Who doesn't love conjoined pancakes? Much like conjoined twins.

We're hot and we get lots of guys to date us. Especially when we look like this.

Does it look like the Marshmallow is saying "OH YESS"? We like to think so.

Super Numalicious breakfast!! Like the way I artistically arranged everything? Yup. I'm special like that.

I Love to See the Temple

So this semester it has been my goal to go to the temple every week. So far, I have totally accomplished that goal, and one week i even went twice. I went with my friends up to Harriman on Saturday night where we partied, burned a teddy bear (don't ask), and watched movies late into the night. Oh, and then stayed up till almost 5 in the morning talking. I love being in college. Anyways, the next day we went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. It is most beautiful and I love it. I kinda wish I lived near it so I could get married there. It was rainy and cold, but we still had a wonderful time. I've also gotten several gorgeous pictures of the Provo Temple as I've waited for people, or just couldn't not take a picture of it because it was so pretty. So enjoy this feast of temple pictures.

So at BYU we like to..

DANCE DANCE DANCE!!!!!!!!!!! I think I went to like 3 or 4 dances in a two week time span. It has been ridiculous, and TOTALLY fun. I went to a stake dance, two put on by BYU, a fancy formal dance, and a girls choice Dr Seuss dance. Unfortunately, I do not have a ton of pictures from these, especially the Dr. Seuss dance, but my date and I went as the kids from the Cat in the Hat, so it wasn't TERRIBLY exciting. I have decided that i like to wear high waisted skirts with my shirt tucked in though. Anyways, here's a bunch of pictures from the formal dance, and then pictures in the car after the stake dance. Also, some of the pictures are bigger cuz i copied them from facebook. apparently that makes a difference lol

Yah. we're normal. Or at least we like to pretend we are.

Me and Kamie. We loves each other.

ROOMIE LOVE!!!!!

Allie is kindly hiding my neck fat and multiple chins from the camera. She's not strangling me you silly people. ;)

apparently i missed the let's look weird memo. lol

Here's how I asked my date to the Dr. Seuss dance. Sorry there's no pictures of us together at all..... We're really good about that lol

Also, for the words taht are cut off, it says "Oh the place's you'll go, Oh the things you'll do. How 'bout Saturday night a Date with you?" I'm super creative like that :)

Spring Sing

So every year the BYU 12th stake does what's called Spring Sing. Every ward picks a disney movie and then creates a 5-7 minute skit/song medley to perform for everyone else in the stake. Our ward started probably at least a month before everyone else, and we picked The Lion King. It was unique, and we didn't do a BYU spin-off like almost every other ward. We were pretty epic if I do say so myself. Myself and the first soloist, were the choreographers. We had a blast, and no bragging, but we were pretty much the best there. People can tell if you have practiced a lot, or if you haven't practiced really at all. We had rehearsals starting in January, and so had a ton of time to plan our skit. We also had the best scenery. Hello, pride rock!! Woot. Anyways, I had so much fun, and here's the link to a video of the skit. Check it out!

Most. Epic. Music. Video. Ever.

Ummm, so my roommates and I couldn't get through this without breaking up into hysterical laughter. I hope you can't either. :) For all those history buffs out there.. We were literally ROFLing.

HAIRCUT!!!!!!!!

So i've been needing a haircut for a really long time, and i finally went and got one today, and i TOTALLY COMPLETELY LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't actually get a ton of length taken off, but i got like a zillion layers put in, and it looks totally awesome! i've been needing a change, and my hair just has so much movement now, its LOVELY. I went to Giani International, which has Paul Mitchell peeps working there, so it was wonderful.. I have also reaffirmed the fact that my hair is RIDICULOUSLY thick. I mean when your hair stylist comments on it 3 times at least, you know its the truth. And she said, wow, this is enough hair for like 8 people when we were done, hahaha. i also got my eyebrows threaded. So now I don't have big bushy eyebrows anymore. So you all probably know how much of a baby I can be when it comes to pain, but I made it through threading really well! It hurts so much less than waxing, and overall less than plucking. I only kinda teared up once. Which is REALLY good for me :) So, here comes the part you really want to see, instead of all my talking- PICTURES! So i took them on my webcam, therefore not very good quality, but it works you know? - yah and i know its gonna be out of order, but i'll do my birthday post soon :)

more webcam pictures!!! :)

Wow..

So i've been having a grr start to the new semester. I like half of my classes and the other three I'm really struggling to either stay awake in, stay interested, or stay unbored in. On top of that my computer has been having difficulties ever since I got back from Winter break, as has my blog, which is one of the reasons i haven't posted. It's kinda annoying to read anything through the lack of a solid background lol, But I'm going to post this anyways, and hopefully everything will be fixed soon. Thankfully, my other classes are completely making up for how much my classes aren't going the way I want them to, as is the bacon in the fridge, and the Jamba Juice runs with Nathan.. don't worry Mom, it's not TOO often. I'm not that stupid.. lol.

Another blessing in my life has been the fact that i have absolutely no classes on Friday, something I'm very grateful for. It means I have the time to go to the temple, which is my goal for this semester- going to the temple every week. I don't really have any excuse not to. I have a feeling I'm going to need it.

The other thing is that my classes that I like are my religion classes and dance classes, understandable right? Well, if you knew about my BOM class last semester, it's a wonderful thing that I like my religion classes. I'm taking International Church History and the second half of the BOM from the most wonderful professors. I've never been so excited to learn about the scriptures and the gospel. Brother Marsh, my BOM professor reminds me a bit of John Bytheway, and especially Brad Wilcox. He has the perfect mixture of humor, interesting facts about the gospel and life, and spiritual messages. He has such a wealth of wonderful stories that help me feel the Spirit every class period, something that didn't really happen last semester. My church history class has also made me more excited to l

earn about my family history than I ever have before, or at least my Great-grandma Peterson.

My dance classes are really what i look forward to every week tho. I'm taking world dance and irish dance. I LOVE THEM!!!! I'm learning so much an

d they're WAY fun. :) I've already learned like 5 to 6 dances in my World Dance class, and I feel like a legitimate irish dancer, that's how amazing that class is lol. It's so amazing, and makes everything worth it. Well, that's my January update, and just fyi, the photos aren't mine, but I wish it was.
