Update

So I haven’t blogged in a long while because, like always, I’m a big slacker. I’ve been meaning to post something since Christmas, but I just never seem to find the time. I feel like a lot has been going on though, so I thought I would do a quick update for my 3 readers. :-)

Anyway, Christmas was really great…very low key with my amazing family and I even had time to hang out with friends too. The weekend before Christmas, I went to a get-together with my oldest and best friends: Anna, Sarah, Natalie, Bethany, and Erin. Kirsha couldn’t make it because she lives far away in Cali. It’s been awhile since all 7 of us have gotten together, but if we can get 5-6 at once I still think that’s pretty amazing because we are all doing different things in different places (except Nat and Beth, they live next door to each other). Anyway, we just had dinner at Nat’s house, but it was fun to see everyone and catch up on our lives.

Christmas was really quiet this year, which was very nice. Christmas Eve was just me, Kayla, and my mom and dad. We had planned to go downtown to see the lights, but then it was snowing like crazy and my mom was getting a cold, so we stayed home and watched a movie and just hung out.

Santa was good to me this year and I got some great loot. The usual socks and gift cards, but I also got this barbell set I wanted so I can keep up with the workouts I used to love when I was going to 24-hour fitness when I was in Salt Lake. I will post some pics of my sweet guns as soon as they get a little more toned. :-)

New Years was fun too-I just stayed in Logan and played with everyone here. The New Year has gotten off to a good-but busy-start. I started my LAST semester at USU last week and I am so excited to be so close to being done. My 2 last classes are both pretty intense though, so I will be busy all semester. This is our busiest time at work too, so my days are long and I basically crash at the end.

Me and Scuba...up to no good I'm sure. :)

John and Me on New Year's Eve...cheesy as always

Other news: Heidi is the cutest little girl ever! She looks so much like Leah did as a newborn and she is so sweet. I was happy to get to see her finally and I wish I were able to go down more to see her (and my other sweet nieces).

New hair and my new niece Heidi on 1/5/07

Oh, and I cut my hair! I guess that’s the biggest change for the New Year. I think I ended up chopping about 14 inches. It was just time for something different…I’ve had long hair for too long. I’m getting more used to it now, but I’ve had to learn how to use a blow dryer again, but I’m getting better.

New hair cut!

Well this is really long. This is why I should blog more often I suppose. I think that is all. It is really cold in Logan and it snows almost every day. Who wants to go skiing?

Oh, and I found out we are having our 10-year reunion this summer. I can’t believe it’s been that long already! We have a reunion blog now if anyone wants to check it out. It’s been fun to see other people’s blogs and see what everyone has been up to these last few years. I’m betting money I am one of maybe 5 single people left in my class…but I’m very proud of that. Steve and I are planning on going together…it will be funny to see who thinks we’re a couple and who thinks I’m a lesbian. Neither of course! So hello to any of my fellow Wildcats that might read this…and see you this summer I hope.

All right, I am done because I’m boring myself. :-) Enjoy…

I am so glad that you posted that picture of the girls. I wish so bad that I could have made it. It looks like you guys had a lot of fun. Hopefully one of these years we can all get together- the 7 of us again :) Thanks for the updates.

And we missed you! You just have to let us know next time you're in town and then maybe we can try again. It just wasn't the same without you!

I'm sure you have way more readers than you think! I check almost everyday for an update (maybe I am just on the computer way too much) Anyway, I was excited for an update. Cute hair!
