Well, finals are upon us. I have 5 finals to finish by Thursday because I'm driving home to CALIFORNIA Friday at 5 am. Yes, that is A.M. But that means I'll get home earlier! So really, I don't mind.
I've been really slacking on the whole blogging thing, but really, who actually reads this? Not too many people, so I don't feel that bad.
But, because it's finals week, I also have a good excuse. Not to mention the fact that I've deactivated facebook three times in the last 2 1/2 weeks :) So I probably should post some pictures or something, since they aren't on the FB yet. At least it's something, right?
Most of them are from the BYU/Utah State game last Saturday that was at Energy Solutions Arena...we had GREAT seats (kinda). 14th row, behind the backboard (aka, in the student section). It was a really fun game. Brianna, Brandon, me and Brad (dang, I didn't even realize I was the only one without a B name there...interesting) drove up for the game, then headed to the Gateway for Costa Vida and then attempted to drive up to Temple Square to see the lights. It was kind of a bad idea since there were so many people, but we were able to find a spot on the street. We just walked around the Temple, taking pictures and looking at all the lights. It was the best we could do to get into the Christmas spirit since there wasn't any snow yet. (*Note: there is now snow on the ground, so it can finally officially feel like Christmas) It was interesting though, because normally the gates immediately around the temple are closed to visitors and those not going through the temple, but for some reason that night, they were open. So we walked as close to the temple as I think I've ever been (at least for the Salt Lake Temple).
Anyway, other than that outing, not much else has been going on. Movie nights have commenced once again, which makes me happy--I missed those. We watched Hancock Friday night, The Matrix Saturday night and the Matrix: Reloaded last night. Not a bad set of films. I was so anti-Matrix when they first came out, but now I can't wait to watch the third one. Strange.
