"Low" - Flo Rida

Back in freshmen year I made these friends Kristie and Shelby. We lived next to each other in the dorms and I'm pretty sure that I spend more time in their dorm than I did in mine. Well we have stayed friends through the years. I don't think we see each other as much as I would like but I'll take what we can get. So Shelby went and found herself a boy and now got married. She had her bridal shower right before break and so it was fun to be together one last time.

So by now you might be familiar with my other traditions of Kristie and Shelby. I have spent a lot of times in their beds. Freshmen year I would always take naps on Shelby's bed and then we created Lava Lauren with Kristie's comforter. So every chance I get when I go back to their apartment I have to get pictures again. Kind of like last December when Liz came to visit. So I just had to get my pictures again for nostalgia reasons.

Good times, good times.

"You Make Me Smile" - Uncle Kracker

I have been very fortunate to have Rachel just living downstairs from me. We spend a lot of time in each other's apartments. There have actually been a couple of times where we go to each other's apartment looking for each other and then we find them in the other one. So I have also been very fortunate to get to know Rachel's apartment. They are all super cute and fun. Her roommate Kanani asked me to take roommate pictures for them and I kindly obliged. So one Sunday after church we got all bundled up and took some pictures! We took some inside and then I made them go outside and freeze :)

 This one makes me laugh so hard. One because they are all trying to sign the alphabet and two their roommate liz in on her phone. She was on her phone for more than half the pictures. I finally made Brynn take her phone away from her.

Awww I love you guys!!

"Gravity" - Coldplay

So it has come to my attention that I need to play catch up on my blog. Which I have known about but I have been avoiding. I think I have been on my computer like three times over break haha. But this morning I decided was a good morning to post so be prepared for a few posts this morning on things from the last couple months.

This post is pictures from when I took the Mills Family pictures. If you wanna see a lot of them go see them here.

The ones I chose to post aren't necessarily the best ones but they are some of my favorites :)

 This one is just adorable.

 Rachel being the most awesome Aunt and photography assistant, brought M&M's for Tucker to keep him smiling.

 Love love love this picture of Halle.

 This is just one of the view throwing pictures of Sheldon and Tucker.

Tucker does this adorable monster thing with Halle to get her to smile. In came in handy a lot!

"Voldemort's End" - Harry Potter & Deathly Hallows Part 2

A current status of sorts.

My current facebook status:

Finished off my seventh horcrux...I mean final. They felt like horcruxes though...every time I took one a piece of my soul died.

Yes I am finished. 7 finals later. I only got 2.5 hours of sleep last night. It's been stressful. The tests have been ridiculous. Like the one I was complaining about on Tuesday? Please tell me the difference between use/implement and competence/competency. Both options for the same question. This proves nothing that I actually learned about the method you're questioning me about. But I should stop focusing negatively and focus on the fact that I'm done and survived to tell the tale.

As of right now I am sitting on the couch, wrapped up in my comforter watching Christmas VHSs that I haven't watched in years because we don't have a working VCR. I feel happy of myself. Life is good. Life is great. Life is wonderful.

And it is officially Christmas break and I don't have to think about school for another 3 weeks. I get to see my familia tomorrow and then Brandon and Anna and sweet adorable Jackson are coming on MONDAY! And Rachel gets to spend the weekend with us! Man life is good again. I am normal again. Thank goodness.

Happy Christmas.

"Angry All The Time" - Tim McGraw

I would just like to give you all a Public Service Announcement.

Notice:

If you ever want your students to like you especially after the class has ended and you're in the middle of finals, stressed exhausted emotional and all ranges of the spectrum, do NOT and I mean DO NOT add this to the top of your study guide. 

If you know this study guide you will do well on the test.  So…KNOW THIS STUDY GUIDE WELL.  I tried to make these questions as difficult as possible, which means they are tricky.  Take your time and think things through.  You should be fine.  I’d say good luck but you won’t need it if you know this study guide.

The last thing I am thinking right now are happy thoughts about you and this class. And rest assured if I do horribly on this test the world will know. Oh the whole world will hear my screams of horror. 

AND WHY THE CRAP WOULD YOU TRY AND MAKE YOUR FINAL AS DIFFICULT AS POSSIBLE?!!?! This proves nothing about what I've learned. Kudos for you for feeling validated for being able to write a difficult exam. Excuse me while I go back to smothering myself in 12 flipping pages of notes.
