Life as I know it

Sorry it's been forever-things get really busy, and then I don't end up blogging enough to keep you all really updated. I don't have a ton of time to write about everything, so this will probably be mostly a picture blog.
Pictures from my birthday party-which was great fun by the way!

Also for the month of Novemeber Jessica's family always does a thankful calendar, so our apartment had one this year!
Some of our Christmas decorations!
I went home for Thanksgiving, but my batteries in my camera had been dead for a while, so no pictures from that, plus most of you were there. It was fun to see everyone, and dinner was really good. Since I've been back in Provo I went down to Heath and Steph's for a weekend, and saw them!That same weekend when I got back to Provo some of my friends and I made graham cracker temples. I had talked about making gingerbread houses, and how fun it would be, and Jeremy decided that was a pretty good idea, and got some graham crackers and this is them:

This is mine and Brady's-it's supposed to be modeled after the Madrid Spain temple.
And this is Jeremy and Kristin's. It's supposedly modeled after the South Jordan temple. . .
Mine and Brady's won the contest.
Besides the fun things-which seems to be what I get pictures of life consists of school and studying, so really just school I guess. I've had two finals, and I've got four more coming this next week, so wish me luck! Anyway I love you all, and will see you at Christmas time!

Final Test!

Hey guys!
So this week I had my last test, well I actually had two tests, but now until finals I'm done with tests! I've got three papers still due. . .
My tests this week went well-ish, I did pretty good, I'm hoping for a slightly better grade with the curve, and it sounds as if I may be getting that.
This week has been pretty eventful. For Family Home Evening my group went to Brother Jones' home(he's in the bishopric in my ward) and played some games and ate homemade ice cream. I also went out for ice cream at SubZero this week-it was for an extra credit Chemistry assignment.
Tuesday was our friend Jake's birthday-we made him a giant card and had a bunch of people sign it, we were also going to make him a cake-but that didn't get done until Thursday. His cake turned out pretty awesome though. Jake is going to the Philippines on his mission speaking Tagalog. So Jessica and I talked to one of our friends who came back from the Philippines this summer and found out what a missionary name tag would look like and made our cake that way. I forgot to take a picture of it, and there won't be any pictures in this post anyhow, because Jessica borrowed my camera to take to Dance Sport tonight-my pictures wouldn't have been too exciting anyway.
Wednesday after classes I went to watch, "Mr. Smith goes to Washington" for American Heritage. It's a pretty good movie-I'd seen it before. It put me a little to late to catch the last bus home for the night, so I called "Safe Walk." I walked about halfway home with a policewoman, and then a policeman picked us up and drove me the rest of the way home.
Friday I went to my first BYU Basketball game-we played Long Beach State and won 75 to 65! It was pretty awesome. Samuel Villarreal also came down from Logan and watched the game with a bunch of us. Then we hung out at our place and watched a few episodes of Psych.
Today has been pretty fun-I went rollerskating this morning with my ward, and almost went swimming tonight, but I didn't really want to be the only girl there.
Besides all that I signed up for classes for next semester-it looks crazy.
Well I should get back to my homework before I get too distracted here-I love y'all!
