have i mentioned i love christmas?

last week i got the opportunity to spend the night in temple square with my ward. they are fantastic.. seriously i love each member in my ward. they're so much fun and we all get along so well. we saw the joseph smith movie, which was amazing as usual. it was really fun to see it surrounded by my ward, who all have became my friends. it just made me think about how lucky i am to have them in my life, and i can openly share my testimony and values with them- an experience that is new to me. 
all of the lights in temple square were amazing.. we got to walk around for a while and i was thrilled to see how detailed the christmas decorations were. this was my first time seeing temple square during the christmas season, but now that i'm in provo i hope it isn't the last. 

continuing with the christmas spirit, i spent friday night throwing a christmas party.. "the ugliest christmas party ever, and you're invited".. complete with ugly christmas sweaters, gingerbread houses, wassle, mistletoe, white elephant gifts, sugar cookies, and christmas music. it was a blast! so worth all the time it took to prepare. 
last but not least i have some exciting news.. 
drum roll?
next semester my best friend brynley freakin' anderson will be joining me in provo. last night she called me with this crazy decision.. she's going to hair school (note the fact she's wearing a headband i made in the picture above.. what a great friend! :) ) and moving up to grandma's until she finds a place to stay. i couldn't be more excited!! its a dream come true haha. but seriously. 
i can't wait to spend waaaay too much time with you next semester. and for you to do my hair :) 


loveee you all. 
merry christmas- good luck with finals!
