Merry (Late) Christmas & Happy (Early) New Year

Oh hello. I know I have some catching up to do. I guess I will just get started.
Ok, so Chase works in Minersville with his uncles and grandpa. And sometimes he needs to save money on gas so he doesn't come home at night. So that means I don't get to see him. Unless... I go over there. Yep, you guessed it. Sometimes I go over there and hang out with him so he doesn't die of boredom and missing me. I know, I'm too kind. But it is for my own benefit as well. So one night when I was over there before Christmas we made a gingerbread house. After we were finished Chase asked me if I wanted to take a picture so I could blog about it. He always has my best interests in mind.
So here is the finished product!

I have been working a lot lately. Which is good because that was what I had planned for this break. Christmas was great! I received a kitchen aid mixer, a crock pot, cook books, a rolling pin, a thermometer, some earrings, and candy. Chase bought me a pearl necklace and I love it with my whole heart!!! It's absolutely gorgeous! I couldn't have asked for anything more! I would have to say that my Christmas was a complete success. I don't have any plans for New Years. I guess we will just see what life has in store for me. I am very excited for 2011 though! It might just be my favorite year so far!

The Word Dainty Reminds Me of a Princess...

Every little girl dreams about being a Princess, well I did. I guess I took it a little too seriously sometimes because now I'm getting the word dainty thrown at me from every direction. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind it. I just never expected to hear it so much in the past couple days. Chase and I went up to Salt Lake on Monday morning to go to the Jazz game that night. We made a pit stop in Lehi at Cabellas. And they didn't even have what we needed there. But it was fun to look at the big animals. Some of them looked like they were about to charge me. I couldn't help but think of movies like Toy Story and Night at the Museum while I was there. From there we headed up to the Gateway mall. We got some good Christmas shopping done. For dinnner we drove up to Layton to my Uncle's resturaunt for some good BBQ. I kept asking Chase if he liked BBQ. He said that he did but I don't think I fully understood how much he like it until it was sitting in front of him and he looked like a little boy at Christmas. He ate it all. And some of mine. We wanted to go back to temple square to see the lights before the game so we headed back down to Salt Lake. Temple square was packed full of people. There were people taking wedding pictures, little children running everywhere, and I think I even spotted a couple fighting about going home because it was too cold. I like to people watch, and I always listen to what people around me are saying. So I was laughing at all the comments I heard. I wanted to get a picutre of us in front of the lights but it took me so long to get the nerve up to ask this lady to take it for us. But she was really nice. I just hate interupting people when I see that they are trying to enjoy themselves too. But I am happy with the picture we got.We decided to just walk from the temple to the area. Which was a good plan. It wasn't even very cold outside so I thought walking was fun. We got to the game just in time for it to start. The Jazz won the game even though they kind of had a hard time shooting throughout the game. We stayed at Chase's uncle's house in Spanish Fork on Monday night. Tuesday morning I spent playing Barbies with Chase's cousin Aubrey. She's adorable! We had fun throwing a birthday party for my Barbie. We headed to Provo that afternoon to finsish some Christmas shopping and eat lunch before heading home. At Toys R Us there was this HUGE Lego firefighter. I was so amazed by it that I made Chase go stand by it so everyone whould know how big it was and I took a picuture. I wish I could build stuff like that. Scratch that, I wish I had the time and patients to build stuff like that.

We had a reallly fun weekend. I'm glad that I had work off so we were able to just go and have fun. It's always good to just be able to let go for a few days.
NOW I NEED TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO MY GIRL LAUREN CHRISTENSEN! IT'S HER BIRTHDAY TODAY!!!!!

If you don't know Lauren you should. She's the biggest sweetheart in the whole world!! I am so glad that I know her and we are friends. I don't know what I'd do without her to talk to for HOURS after we get off work. I hope you have a good day Lauren! Love you girl!

I"m In Salt Lake

I am currently in Salt Lake at the apple store. I just thought I would share this happy news with all of you. I will tell you all more about this wonderful trip when I return.

Finals...

Are going to kick my butt!!! But on the bright side I am really super looking forward to Christmas break! We get a whole month off. I just don't know how I am going to spend that much free time. Ok, I lied. I do know how I will spend it... working mostly, at least I hope I can work a lot. I'm sure I will. Also I am going to a Jazz game with Chasey poo. That will be most spectacular I am sure. We will have to take a million pictures so all of you can see and be jealous. But mostly just see because jealousy is not so good for you. Christmas is coming so quickly. I am amazed that it is already December first. This month will fly by though I'm sure.
A couple days ago I went Christmas tree hunting with Chase, Aimee, and Jared. Pretty sure I'm not a snow lover. The snow was up to my hips and I was not very prepared because we kind of decided to go last minute. So I was wearing jeans and Chase's warm boots. He was wearing his not so warm boots so I think by the end of the day we were frozen. Especially because we had to treck through miles of snow to get to this "perfect" tree that Jared fell in love with. Yea, it's not so great. But oh well. It's now sitting outside waiting to come into the house. I will prepare better next time we go.
Thanksgiving was fun. I went with my family to my aunt's house in Ephriam. Her whole family was there and we had a good time getting caught up with one another. There were so many little children that I hadn't seen for a very long time. They are all grown up now. But I'm sure that's what they all thought about me too. The food was great, the company was wonderful, and the drive wasn't even that bad.
I'm looking forward to the weekend! Thank heavens it's already Wednesday.
Chase and I are going on a double date tonight with his cousin and one of my good friends. I'm actually really extremely excited for it. I don't know why because it's not like we don't go on dates all the time, cause we do. But I think it will be fun to hang out with them. And I have been wanting to meet Brad (Chase's cousin) for a while now.
Well this is long enough now I'm sure you stopped reading and started skimming a long time ago. So this is all I will say for now.
