Manti Temple

B and Z and I have made it a goal to go to the Manti Temple at least once a week. Sometimes we will set an appointment for Tuesday and then not really make it there until Friday due to big groups and other things that come up. So we always try to plan it at the beginning of the week in case we have to unexpectedly change. I had hoped we would have a picture with the three of us together in front of the temple by now but we always forget. It'll have to come later. I think the Manti Temple is my favorite now. We've had great times.

Semester Quilt

This is a quilt that I had to start, work on, and finish for my quilt-making class this past semester. I worked on a lot of the quilt when we went to Idaho for Thanksgiving. Grandma let me bring down the sewing machine into the family room so I would still be able to socialize. There are a couple blocks that through doing this project, I know how to do but I will NEVER make again. There are others that I loved doing and I would make a whole quilt out of. We were suppose to give it a name and I named my The Beast. I named it that because of the fact that it was required and it was drug out through a whole semester. I loved the class and I love to sew but I've realized that I like to sew whatever I'd like and I'm not good at sewing on a deadline. I like to do what I like at my own pace. I am happy with the result though. Now I'll have to start on something else.

Apartment Christmas

We really wanted a Christmas in our apartment and since we knew that wouldn't be possible due to winter break we decided to do it before we left. K, B, and I planned a party for our complex, whoever wanted to come. It was super fun. We started putting up Christmas decorations right after Thanksgiving Break. We even got a small Christmas tree, it was fake but it was beautiful. We got presents for each other and our two guy friends R and Z. There was one night during finals week B and I couldn't sleep and it got super late, or should I say early in the morning. B remembered that we had a present coming in the mail for us, the present we got for Z. So we quickly got on her laptop and tracked the package. It said it had been delivered that same day! We were super excited and we didn't want to wait and so we ran outside to get the mail. Sure enough, IT WAS THERE! We immediately went inside and we were so excited that it felt like we were opening our own gift. They were guitar picks because we know how much Z loves his guitar. They had his favorite guitarist on them. We then quickly wrapped them and headed to bed. It was so much fun. When he did open them, he loved them and we were thrilled. We gave R a shirt that said 'MURICA on it. B's mom does vinyl and so we also got to write "Love your pals from Apt. _". It was small enough that he knows it's there but others don't have to see it. Then after we opened up roommate gifts. We had the best time. 

We had an extra day where nothing was planned before we went home and so we went to the pool. It's really random but I wanted to write it down because we had so much fun.
