The wildest weekend in a long time

What a weekend! Friday was full of research, a game night, and then off to bed because of my 5K on Saturday! I also went to lunch with some friends from FOL for pho on Saturday and then went to the Utah Symphony/MOTAB Mahler concert.

I MADE IT! 28 minutes, 5 seconds, 12th place overall, 2nd in my division!
but most importantly, I didn't walk at all!

Soldier Hollow and work work work

Last night was our ward activity at Soldier Hollow, a tubing run! It was a lot of fun, now I'm just catching up on never ending internship applications! Okay, so there's only a couple left, but it's not as easy as I thought it would be. The deadline for both is March 1st, so my goal is to get them in next week!

Valentine's and President's Day

Valentine's Day was on a Sunday, but we could still spread the love! Onnie and I went to the Werners and enjoyed make-your-own pizza night. Mine was in the spirit of the season (day). They were delicious!

Monday was President's Day, so there was no school! I wanted to do something outside of my house/Provo, so at the last minute Sarah, Onnie, her friend Jacob, Danielle and I went to check out Gilgal Gardens in Salt Lake. It's a bunch of sculptures/engraved stone poems this rich eccentric Mormon guy had made. Pretty wild!

Galentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Today's post is about Galentine's Day, though. Galentine's Day comes from the tv show Parks and Rec. Here's what the main character has to say about it:

"Oh it's only the best day of the year. Every February 13th, my lady friends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home, and we just come and kick it, breakfast-style. Ladies celebrating ladies. It's like Lilith Fair, minus the angst. Plus frittatas."

So I got my ladies together and we had a rockin' breakfast celebrating each other! This character from the tv show also has the crazy compliments, so Ali printed them off and gave one to everybody. So fun!

Other weekly happenings included Annaka learning that onions really do make you cry, I won the hitlist again, and mom and the dogs got the Valentines card I sent them in the mail.

woohoo!!!

not so matchy matchy

And that's the latest update! Love you all, no matter what day of the year.

Over the weekend

Friday: Men's Volleyball, Caitlyn's intramural basketball game (which the other team forfeited, so we shot some hoops ourselves!), and a dance party at Claire's.

Saturday: RIP, relaxing, more MVB, and babysitting.

Sunday: Church, break-the-fast, hanging out with Onnie.

what a workweek hustle!!! I won the family challenge
but lost the office one. by a lot!

This week brings a couple of midterms, my first 5k on Saturday, and more internship applications.

What a day!

Woke up early, went to the gym. Came home, ate breakfast, read a bit and then picked up Onnie to go to the City Center open house. Went to work, worked for five hours. After work it was straight to class until 6:15, dinner group at 6:30, baked some muffins since my bananas were getting a little ripe, then walked over to yoga at 8:10. Got home from yoga at 9:50, called home, am writing in my blog, then will go shower and go to bed!!

my "minnie mouse" running shoes! I just need red leggings!

2/2 on a 2sday

Another day, another dollar! Today was the usual school/work/home, but with the added excitement that I cooked for dinner group tonight (and totally forgot to take a picture. whoops). Then I went for a walk, finished some homework and laundry, and now need to shower so I can be in bed before 10:30, hopefully!

It has still been pretty cold with some flurries, not as much snow as yesterday/the weekend, just enough to freeze everything over and make people miserable. I did find a fun snow sculpture, though! Check it out below.

rawr!

healthy and delicious.

New Week

It's another week off to another busy start! Although today brought lots of snow and a cancelled class, so that was exciting! Then it was time for work after school was done and then back home for dinner group. I'm cooking tomorrow!

off to the gym at 6, and it's just me!

snow day! kind of.
