Merry Christmas. Finally.

We had so much fun over the holidays and the long winter break from school! Unfortunately that break comes to an end on Monday, but I did enjoy the extra week :)

OH YEAH...

I forgot one quick story.

I had a final yesterday (Thursday) at 3 PM.

I stayed up all night studying for it.

I worked the next day, and left work around 1:30

I planned on studying for my final.

I arrive at the school,

Lolly gag,

buy a christmas present at the bookstore,

IN NO REAL HURRY.

Arrive at the couch in front of my class at 2PM.

One hour til test time.

Kid from class walks out of classroom,

"LINDSEY! What are you doing, why aren't you taking the final??!"

"Because it's not til 3?"

"No it started at 1:30"

Bad words run through my head as I panic.

I didn't believe him until someone else came out of class..

"Lindsey, did you take the final?"

WOW. who does that. I almost missed it entirely.

Nice teacher let me take it still.

PHEW.

Sometimes I'm a danger to myself.

hooray

So Happy today because...

School's out for Winter! (although i wish it said Summer there, I'll take a break now)

I will be and aunt soon... Yeah for Tressa and Kody

Tomorrow is Saturday so I can sleep in until 10 or maybe 11...

(that's right I said eleven, I'm tired)

Just thinking- I love my dad

And my mom

And HIM

Basketball ups and downs

This week has been a roller coaster in the basketball world. They played BYU on Wednesday at home and won! it was the most intense game and SO much fun. It was nuts. SOOO many people were there they ended up locking the doors so that no more students could get in. It was jammed packed so some people didn't have seats. We ended up scalping some tickets so my sis and her husband could get in.
Jared played amazing- he always does. It amazes me how high he can jump and how great he is. After we went out to dinner at Ruby Tuesday's with the fam where this happened..



Creepy/Funny?

Then on Saturday they played st Mary's and lost. It was a tough loss to swallow since it broke a 37 game winning streak at the Spectrum. But, losses happen- even though they suck. Jared once again played great.

We are looking forward to being done with school and for Christmas break and Christmas!

Hooray for the holidays!

SOOO bored

Wow, class can be a drag. Especially when every other professor cancelled class today EXCEPT mr. Roper. GAG. So here I am.. in class.. but not technically in class. I'm avoiding reality.

Well.. basketball is well underway. It's been a sad start to the season with a one point loss to utah and a 3? point loss to a school in boston. Jared scored his career high 27 points against Utah which was pretty dang cool. He also has been a rebounding machine.

Our Dog.. LEAH... aka the BEAST.. has been keeping us busy and entertained. For instance, one night while Jared was gone I had her sleeping in bed with me so I wouldn't be scared.. BAD IDEA. She decided she was hungry in the middle of the night, so she wandered out to the kitchen for some Sugar Cookies (which were really delicious so I can see why she was craving them at 2AM). I woke up with a heart attack.. I heard pans banging, plates clashing and every other sort of mayhem imaginable... My reaction, " OHHHHH crud! someones in my house!!" Panic panic panic.

Dumb dog.

She also likes to find random food and eat them.. For instance, while talking on the phone to my mother she managed to find a beef stroganoff package, open it, and sprinkle it around the house. Love it when my house smells like Stroganoff.

She also ate a half cube of butter last night, wrapper and all. She might have high cholesterol.

THANKSGIVING is this week. So thrilled. Love to eat until I'm sick. Love it.

Thats all.

Love Lindsey

So it's been quite a while since I posted last. We have had a lot going on. I started my new job back in June and I am really loving it and really busy with it. It makes me think hard everyday and I actually feel like I'm finally catching on.. phew. I work in the budgeting department at Logan Regional hospital. We create different budgets for different things, its been a great learning experience as I'm finishing up school. I'm on track to graduate in the Spring and I absolutely can NOT wait! It will be such a relief.

Jared has been in full swing with Basketball. They started practicing last week and their first game is on Friday the 30th! (I can't believe it's already here.. tis the season!) Jared works hard everyday at practice and school and we're hoping he stays healthy throughout the whole season. He was recently picked for WAC first team- preseason. I thought it was a pretty cool recognition- He's just hoping that that's how it ends up.. haha. He's also what I call Utah State's poster boy (haha) He's on the magnets that have the schedules on them- it's a sweet little action shot.

Here is the action shot!

WE are so excited for basketball. It's going to be a party.

Hope all is well with everyone :)
