Finals Anyone?

This is what I do when I'm fed-up with finals. I draw and paint.

Done using Dollar Store paint set. Mixed colors on my hand.

I don't know if this tree exists, but here it is.

Easter

Catrina and I had a wonderful day! We first had dinner with the Jacobs at their home. We had a delicious meal, followed by a wonderful dessert. Sister Jacobs was SO kind and considerate as she had prepared individual Easter baskets for me and Catrina to take home. It really did feel like we were at home.

Following our visit, dinner, and dessert, Catrina and I went home. Later that night we decided to make apple cake. It was so fun to spend a Sunday afternoon/evening with Catrina. She is so much fun and is a wonderful cook. After baking our cake, we decorated eggs. Our Easter was complete: time with family, an Easter basket, delicious food, a Sunday nap, and the dying of Easter eggs. What could be better?

I just love this girl!

Night at the Oscars

Our ward decided that for our individual FHe activities, we would create a video. The theme was "super heroes". The video we made was a little confusing, but I think overall, turned out well. Kortni was one of the super heroes. I was an indian statue and a bad guy. Type cast? I'll leave that to you. :) Following the completion of our videos, our ward had a "Night at the Oscars" where we all dressed in our best to watch all the films and receive awards. Our video did not win, but we were okay with it. :) It was fun to glam up with my roomies. We need that every now and then, don't we?

Bloody Sunday

Have you ever had a friend ask you if they could draw your blood; just to practice?

I have!

The Mama!

My mom came to visit this weekend! It was wonderful to have her here. While she was here, she and I went to the General Young Women's broadcast in Salt Lake. She, Bryan, Catrina, and I, also went to a BYU Rugby game. It was SO fun! I love watching sports with her because she and I are real intense athletes. :) I love having her around. I love California and love that my family is still there, but man, I wish my family lived closer. I miss them!

Salt Lake with the Mama!

Bryan and Catrina. Did I mention it was FREEZING!! Not cold, FREEZING!!!

"Four Eyes"

All my life I had thought I would have perfect vision and hearing. I mean, who doesn't want to believe their sight and hearing would remain perfect their whole life?! Alas...it was my time. :)

So I was having a harder time reading the chalkboard in my Chem 105 class, so I went to an optometrist. That's where I received the bad news. I needed glasses. My vision is not horrible, but as a measure to maintain the good vision I have now, I needed glasses. All my life I have secretly wanted to have glasses, but never wanted to NEED them. I could have gone with fake ones. :) Anyways, here they are. After spending time choosing them with Kortni and Catrina, these are what we chose.
