Home Sweet Home

Ahhhh (huge sigh of relief) so happy to finally be home and done with finals! I am sorry for not posting but let me catch you up with what finals are like: It is 24/7 studying, your mind is so overloaded with material that you kind of lose it, you spend hours and hours in the same spot, the sun burns your eyes because you never go out,  and severe lack of sleep. My roommates and I decided that taking stretching breaks would help us not shrivel up. So let me give you a little peak at a typical stretch break at Chandelle 897

 Someday they will be able to touch their toes

So on our way home from working out Mela and I came across tons of balloons in the dumpster so we picked them up, yes dumpster diving, and gave them to some special people in our lives. We wrote individualized messages on each balloon for a finals pick-me-up. 

A highlight of the last week was our Ward Christmas Party- Ugly sweater / white elephant exchange. We all got some real nice things.

Here we are with out favorite fellas; the dinner group boys and the tree house

 On our way to the party we stopped at the Dollar store to buy our white elephant gifts and we came across this store display which was perfect for our christmas photo. So here is our christmas cards for the year (minus our dear Lindsey :( and introducing the new roomie, Bridget)

After all the finals were over then the celebrations began, cafe rio and the Sweet Tooth Fairy hit the spot. It was fun to go out and not have to stress about what homework we have to do or what tests we have to study for. 

I am going to miss these folks so much over the break. I can't wait to see them in a few weeks!
