Mas snow y Temple Square

Theres something about waking up saturday mornings and finding fresh snow on the ground. This is the second saturday in a row where it has snowed during friday night, welcoming us to play. So i did. Saturday night (Dec. 8th) my ward and I went up to Temple Square in Salt Lake to se the lights and watch the Joseph Smith movie. Oh it was fun, except the bus ride...but i won't get into that. Well, here are some more pictures out trip (mostly are of the Salt Lake Temple and a short vid of some more kind of sliding or somehting).

let it snow...let it SNOW...LET IT SNOW!!!

Its December 1st and when i woke up this morning, i looked out my window, and what did i see? not popcorn popping before my eyes...but SNOW!!! its snowing !!
Welcome to Narnia

Handstand!! or an attempt...

Here i am with my room mate Stephanie and our Texan friend, Breanna.

I wanted to see if it would really stick...it didn't


waa haa haa, the funny thing is that i really did drop it on her, lol : )

all the trees look so cool with snow on them, its a definite change from the usual evergreens back home!

you can't tell but i was hugging the bush...then i ate snow from it...i couldn't say no that would have been rude to the plant... : )

Ok, so i tried a light post...still no tounge-stickage...my whole life has been a lie!

here i am about to do the most amazing thing ever!!.. well ok maybe not, but i had FUN and that is the most important thing in life!!!

Thanksgiving dinner in Arcata

Oh its that time of year, turn the burners on, flame the candles, sharpen those knifes, its Thanksgiving Day!

I must say that this year my favorite food item (besides the rolls of course) was mixing the mashed potatos and stuffing together, i never really liked stuffing before, but this year, i don't know it was really good.


What i find strange is that I did not eat any turkey and yet i was still tired when i was done eating!! all i wanted to do was to take a nap!! how does that work when i didn't eat any tryptophan? Maybe i should look into going to bed earlier, which i is not a bad idea since i am writing this at 12:33am and i have school tomorrow, oh my. But i must say i did enjoy all the food that i did eat, oh if only the cannon center was a fresh, fortunatly my days at the cannon center (except for sundays) is practicaly over due to the switch to DP, but enough BYU talk, lets talk of thanks!

aww, the pumpkin pie, you know the funny thing is, i only had 2 pieces the whole time i was home, that has never happened before in my whole existence, but i think times are changing and i'm slowly moving on, towards something i don't know yet

Here is a video of my nephew, Peter John (son of Peter and Lisa, brother of Daniel)

Scene: Thanksgiving Dinner

Act: Peter John coming talking about important issues in the world

Well, all in all, i must say that i am extremely thankful that i was able to come home for thanksgiving. Though i love my family, it would be a lie not to say that my favorite part was being able to walk the California trial, my eyes and feet have missed it so much. Sadly i was not able to make it to the Marsh, but that adventure waits for christmas break, at least i walked the CA trial, (and slipped in a few rounds of hot chocolate, oh my i think i am in withdrawal right now, what am i going to do!) well, on that note thankyou nature!

Oh i am so glad to be back
Walking along the plaza with a cup of hot chocolate
yes it is from JitterBean since Sacred Grounds is closed..."tear"
But it will do...oh it tastes so good!






















Oh my sweet sweet five fingered fern, oh how i have missed you dearly! Oh the peacefulness of the California Trials where the plants roam free and wild for passerbys to admire...oh i am so glad i was able to return to them, like a renewal of my inner peace

SMASHING PUMPKINS

So this is Bravery, they opened for Smashing Pumpkins, they are really good and the main singer was insane and so fun to watch.

After a bizillion 1/2 an hours, SMASHING PUMPKINS came on stage, oh it was so amazing to see and hear them. Oh they sound even better live, they did a beautiful job. Here are some pictures Of them and also some movies of some of the songs they sung. enjoy cause i sure did!

Oh, It was soo unreal that i saw them and listened to them live, i still can't believe it. Steph and I almost missed it, but not really, we just completely got lost trying to find the bus stop and boarded the south one instead of the north one, then pn our way back we could not find our way out of the UVSC main buildings, for they were all connected in this big square, then we had to run across some streets but it was all worth it. yes, worth it...
