Hiking to the "S"

I love this picture too much. B and I had hiking to the "S" on the side of the mountain an item on our bucket list and we fulfilled it. It was kind of steep on the way up but it was fun as R got up to the S first and started yelling to Z some "Remember the Titans" quotes. Like, "What kind of power do you got?!" and Z would yell, "SOUL POWER!" and we would start to run. They conveniently had a bench at the top and you could see the valley below. It was so cool. I think it'd be cool to wake up early one morning and be up there for the sunrise. Such a great view with great people.

New Haircut

The weather is feeling more like spring than winter. I was getting antsy for a new change and this is the result. I got a haircut! My intentions were to donate it because I have done it before and I'm glad to help. I was super grateful as well that they had a sign on the door that said that if there was more than 10", then they would do it for free. They took off 14"! It is weird now to grab hold of my hair and realize, "Wait nope, it's gone!" But it feels real good. 

Christmas Break with Friends

Over Christmas break my roommates and our guy friends wanted to meet up with each other and hang out. So we decided to go to Temple Square and Zoo Lights. Unfortunately, one of our guy friends (R) couldn't make it. We had so much fun and I am thrilled that we got pictures. We also went out to dinner to Cafe Rio. I'm really hoping we started a tradition. 

Fall Pictures

These are our fall family pictures. I love them.

                                                                      

So much to catch up on....

Wow, it really seems like it's been a long time since the last time I posted. I feel like I have posted so much but really, I haven't. I think one reason is because most of the time, if I want to share something, it goes on Facebook first and then I feel like I've already posted. But here are some pictures with some stories to go with them to catch me up.

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.
