The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Ahha! I have figured out why this time is called the most wonderful time of the year- no school!! No worrying about homework, no studying, no going to class, no checking school e-mails, no tests, no finals. That is just pure bliss. Time to yourself & time with the family. Just what a doctor prescribed for my homesickness. Hope everytime enjoys their break and doesn't wish to be back in school one bit!

First semester- DONEZO

Woooo wooooo! Took my last final yesterday. Packing up the apartment today & tomorrow. Annnd then it's home for the holidays! This semester has been challenging but great. I've learned so much and grow in so many ways I didn't think was possible. I'm ready for all the experiences my life has to bring.

Last night we went sledding at the devil's hour (shhh don't tell anyone) on campus ti celebrate the end of the semester!! 

good times

making a list, and checking it twice

Yay for Christmas time!! This time of year makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside (forgetting about the cold Idaho weather). I love listening to Christmas music, watching 25 days of Christmas & seeing the streets decked in lights. I'm posting my Christmas list this year on here. Hopefully Santa reads my blog!

Simplicity

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent.  It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction.

St George

Last weekend we had a road trip and spent the weekend down in St George, Utah. It was perfect timing too- after we left they had a storm here in Rexburg. And it had cleared up just in time to welcome us back! Our trip was filled with good music, friends, Swig(if you have not been there you better put it on your to-do list), sarcasm, pictures, and good memories.

Stopped to check our Cove Fort. Way cool. Such a strong spirit there!

Sunday Brunch

There is a tradition that has been started with the roomies. Every weekend one of us picks a recipe, gets the ingredients, and we all cook together. I am quite fond of this tradition. It gives us a good chance to practice our holly homemaker skills and also eat some delicious comida. This week Brenna chose Coconut French Toast. (Thank you Pinterest!) The ingredients can be found here. They turned out bomb.com. Def won't be the last time they are made.

Do you have good traditions with family or friends?

What are some good recipes you want to try out?

HAPPY SUNDAY!
