Dan and Allyx: December 2011

911 911 911 away. oh how much fun it is to ride in an ambulance all day! Hey!

That is the version of Jingle Bells my primary class has been signing to me each Sunday. I wish I remembered the rest of the words because it is pretty funny.

So it is one right now and I am still lying in bed. I have the worst sore throat ever, you know the kind where you can hardly swallow and talking takes too much effort to deal with? That is where I am at. I hate that! The good news: I am going to watch a serious chick flick today and love every second of it.

Just finished an amazing series- The Maze Runner. I thought it got better and better as it went on. It is about a boy who wakes up in this maze and can't remember anything about his life. There are a bunch of other boys who have been there for a while and none of them remember anything either. They have to work together to survive and all they know is someway, somehow, they have to solve the maze. Sound intense? It is. Read it.

Dan is really doing so great at his new job. I'm so proud of my sweet nugget for being such a hard worker and so good looking at the same time. I went to a work party, it was saweet. I couldn't find a dress I loved so I decided to make one, and it actually turned out to be one my favorite things I have made! Maybe I am bragging but whatever.

My sister and I ran in a 10K for my work. I wasn't prepared and it was kind of hard. Really fun tho, I am glad we did it. I wish that I would keep up with my running so when I do decide to run a race, it isn't a near death experience for me. I say that, but I haven't ran since that race, not even once. Oh well, laziness brings such joy to this life.

We went to St. George for Thanksgiving. All my cousins came down too so it was totally baller. The trip included some football, golf, black friday shopping (where I scored a sweet storage ottoman... I made my lil sister run and fight the masses to get it for me and she ended up hitting a lady in the head with it... so proud), minute to win it games, swimming, and food. So much food. It was such a fun trip- I love getting together with my whole family.

Now that the Christmas Season is upon us, my fam went up to Temple Square and checked out the lights. It is gorgeous up there. Christmas brings such a peaceful feeling, especially on Temple grounds. We ended the adventure with dinner at Tucannos. It was such a nice way to end our night- with pure gluttany. Seriously, I ate until I almost died. Vair Vair enjoyable.

It snowed the other day. It hasn't really snowed a lot so far this year, but I just love it. Let's be honest, if it snows too much more I am going to hate it, but for now the light snow every now and then is so pretty and makes me feel all homey. I love this time of year. I put Christmas up before Thanksgiving because I was too excited to wait, but now it is really Christmas time so it is wonderful. Plus I get to listen to my Groban Christmas CD every second and no one can tell me to turn it off. Man that guy can sing. And speaking of the great JOSH, did anybody see him on The Office as Andy's little brother? That was really funny. Anyway- I still have so much Christmas shopping to do. There are only 10 more days and I am sort of freaking out. I did however get my brother's present and it is so funny. I can't say what I got him in case for some weird reason he decides to read my blog, but just know, it is a winner.

Now I would like to entreat you to a billion pictures documenting our every move. All of the Thanksgiving trip pics are from my wonderfully talented cousin Katie, not me... all my pictures come from my phone.
