Last Semester at Snow starts off Strong!

    I am in my fourth Semester here at Snow College and I just love Ephraim!! It is my home!! It is crazy to believe that I will be graduating in the Spring!  It blows my mind just a little bit!  This is a crazy Semester! I am just a little crazy and I am taking 19! credits along with Student Government and I work.  But I would not have it any other way!
     Moving back to Ephraim after Christmas break was Great!  It was so good to be with my roommates again!! I love these girls! But the down side is you do not get to enjoy as many homemade meals and family time.
     So the end of last semester I told Jessica that I would do P90X with her this Semester.  So Monday-Friday we wake up at the "wonderful" hour of 6am!! and workout!  Oh My goodness! It is tiring!  But this week has been easier after doing it for a week!! So pretty much we are going to look "hot" by the end of this Semester, at least we'd like to think so.
    On Friday we where finishing the work out and then we had the ab workout after and Jessica went to the Temple so we worked out later and by this time our entire apartment was awake and Billie (she also joined us the first day too) and Tiffany joined our workout and Tiffany at first kept making fun of us so we where laughing and then we where all trying and doing the ab workout and laughing.  When you are trying to workout your abs and you laugh it makes it hard.  But it was a fun morning of a good workout and laughs!!
    That day was a busy day of going to classes and spending time in the Student Life office.  I worked from 3-10, I work at a calling center called Key Research.  After work I went and partied it up at the Institute Stomp!! That was a BLAST!!! and then we had a party at our apartment where our new friend Geoff sang and played the guitar for us, we did not mind this at all!  He even made up a song for all of us.  It was enjoyable!  Then we watched Pitch Perfect and chilled and realized that it was 4am and this lovely girl had work at 8am the next day....yeah not the smartest thing.  But it was still fun! :)
    Thursday was Arise auditions and those went well, this past Monday was our first day of class and OH MY GOODNESS!!! It is going to be an incredible semester!! We already sound pretty good and the spirit was so strong and man I just love this class and the fact that I get to share my testimony through music is so awesome! :)  This class is really a blessing in my life and I am so glad that I can be apart of this wonderful Choir!
     This is going to be a great Semester!  I have amazing roommates! Amazing people all around me and the Lord blesses me everyday!  This is just a little bit of what the semester has been so far and of course there have been more but this is all for now.
    Hope you Enjoyed! Have a Great day!! :)

Christmas Break 2012

Christmas time is such a fun time!! Here are a few things that happened during Christmas Break!

Nutty and Nathan Get Engaged!!! 

Nutty (Kendra Christensen) my Best friend got engaged to Nathan Eddington!! This happened December 22, 2012 at Temple Square in Salt Lake.  I had the privilege of being there and it was a wonderful night.

Rebecka, Nathan, Nutty, Amber
We Love Each other!
But man don't they look so cute?? I am so excited for them! They will be getting married April 5, 2013! It is weird that my Best friend is getting married but it is just awesome and I could not be happier! :D

Krogh family

During the Break I had the privilege to spend time with the Krogh family.  The first time I got to see them over the break was when Maddie went through the Temple and so Nathan, Brenden, Jackson, and Sharlee came over to my house and we made Sugar cookies and played games.  And when Lori and Benj came to pick them up we played a little bit of Foosball.










Jace and Maddie Get Married!!!

This was fun Because I knew Maddie and Jace while they where dating and even was there when they first held hands back in April.  I was so excited for them when they got engaged! and Now that they are married I am just so Happy for them.  They are so adorable together and they both are amazing people!!  It has been fun to be apart of some of there adventures and look forward to having more. 

While they where getting married in the Draper Temple
we played at the Church.

Maddie and Jace on there special day!!
Reception Fun!

 

 

The Reception was fun and it was so good to see Lindsey and Stefani again! The last time I saw them was at Keagan's farewell so that was Great!! but man I loved that Alyssa, Lindsey, Stefani, and Adriann came, we had fun taking pictures with Jordan and Keagan in the Photo Booth. It was a Fun day! YAY for Maddie and Jace for getting married!! :)

Christmas Eve!

Christmas is just a great time to spend with family and to focus on our Savior.  On Christmas Eve we went over to my Grandparents house for dinner and fun.  We always act out the Christmas story and this year I was Mary.  This is a fun tradition we have! 



and then we sing Christmas songs!
Christmas Day! 

We woke up early and found out that Santa came!! After we where done with presents and that fun stuff we got to talk to Deven my big brother who is on his Mission in South Carolina!  I can't believe he comes home in May!! It is so weird and so cool!! YAY!!! :)  


   We had Christmas dinner and family came over, we had our traditional Mexican food and boy was it good and so much to choose from!! We played a lot of games and talked and enjoyed being with each other.  It is weird to think that I will not be home next year for Christmas but I am looking forward to what the Lord has planned for me. 

Family Christmas Card Picture!!!  I love My Family!!

Bowling/Food/Les Mis 

So my Parents took the older kids bowling, out to lunch, and to see Les Mis the day after Christmas.  This was a lot of fun!!

Bowling Time 

This was the Coolest thing!! I had 75 points and then
on the frame 10 I got a TRUKEY!! Freaken

So one of my brother's said we had to be serious
and then one by one they turned to look at me and
this happened.  It makes me giggle

Amber day! Spending time with my little sisters and brother!

Cuddle Cuddle Cuddle
Student Body Advocate Retreat!
We got to go on a retreat as a Team to Sundance, and one of the days we went tubing too Solder Hollow and that was a Blast!!  While we where on retreat we had a great time! We did a lot of planning and planned out the rest of the Semester, had some workshops and learned some cool stuff and also played games like Mafia, and Murder int the Dark.  We are a crazy bunch who love each other and will always be a family! This year has been amazing and we are going to have an Awesome Semester! Bring it On!!

Aren't we so cute!

Most of us where writing "warm fuzzies" to each
other = nice notes to each other.
