Lunch with Grandma Hall

This afternoon I met up with my Mom and Grandma and went to lunch with them at A&W's in Smithfield. During the meal I brought up that a couple of nights ago my roommates and I got on a website where we all designed our dream wedding ring. I then told my grandma that Emily's ring was really pretty and was about $2300, then I asked her what she thought my dream ring would cost. At first she avoided the question talking about how her first right was only about $400 but I promptly reminded her of my question and she spat out the figure of $4000. Before I told her my mom assured grandma that it was a really pretty ring, it's just a rather large diamond. So I finally told her that it was around $7100 and quicker than a cat my grandma said, and I quote, "You aren't worth it!" Now when my grandma says something that she knows is funny she starts to laugh quietly at first and then her body starts to shake, and she finally will start to burst out in laughter.....and that is just what she did. I am not real sure how I am supposed to take this since she once told me that she loves me, which she doesn't verbalize often. Oh I love my Grandma!!!!

Building a Book Shelf 101

1. Lay out all the parts so that the letters on them can be seen.

2. Go and ask the neighbor boys for a screwdriver and if you smile nicely they might come build it for you.

3. Bake the neighbor boys cookies for their hard work.

4. Be a top model and show off the newest piece of furniture in the apartment.

Firehouse Birthday

This past Tuesday was my good friend Heather Petersen's Birthday and so to celebrate we went to Firehouse on Friday. It is always a lot of fun just to sit around, eat good food and just talk with close friends.

Happy Birthday Heather!

Spring Break!

I just wanted everyone to know that there are only 15 more days until Spring Break. Me and nine other friends are going to a resort called Sonoran Sky in Rocky Point Mexico. I am so excited, and the website makes me want to be there right now.

Weekend of Randomness

This past weekend was the Bridal Fair, but since I am not engaged or plan on getting engaged/married in the near future I had no reason to go. So I decided to put on one of my fake diamond rings and go and see all the booths....and of course I made Emily come along.
Then on Saturday morning we woke up to find that our upstairs bathroom toliet had flooded during the night and so were out of a bathroom for half of Saturday. So to make my weekend a little better I decided to make sugar cookies. But I made the decision that I would decorate each cookie differently. This would of been fine other than there were 6 dozen cookies so it ended up taking me about an hour and a half to decorate them, but luckily my aunt Nanette came in the middle and helped me finish.

New Roomies!

Two of our roommates moved out last semester and two new ones, Alisa and Rachael (the ones in the pink) moved in. We took this right before church and of course we had to incorporate our front door into the pic.

Christmas and New Years

For Christmas this year I was so lucky and Santa brought me a red Kitchen-Aide!! I had really been wanting one for quite sometime but my mother said I needed a husband to get one of those. So I got a little mad saying that I didn't need a husband to get one. So I finally gave up on the idea and was completely surprised on Christmas morning when I opened it.

This is the nativity from Christmas Eve at Grandma Halls.

For New Year's Eve my friends and I just went to a house party and partied it up. Someone brought hats and masks for us to put on to welcome in the new year so we took a moment to have a top model photo shoot.
