Dime-sized Documentary
It was a slap-happy birthday for Catherine yesterday who turned 24!! I took her to Gandolfo's and we toasted in her next year with sparking pear cider and I went to her house later that night for a par-tay with Lind-say. I also got to wrap my presents that I bought when I was out with Fern, for kids in Ecuador (sp?)-- it was our FHE activity.
My runs on the parkway are dwindling-- we had record lows here in Provo on Monday and the mountians are dusted with a thin layer of white. I have nothing but homework going on: I have to meet with a group today and tomorrow and I have presentations in almost every class. Cathereine informed me yesterday that there are only 7 more day of actual school left.
Unbelieveable.
My stake president said he was "surprised" to see gardening and reading among my hobbies. That comment inspired my next top ten list:
-All- time favorite winter activities:
- Full moon snowshoe hike at Mesa Falls
- A blanket, soy&cinnamon hot cocoa and a book (reminescent of my bus-days, ahhh)
- Carving the mountian through the trees in shin deep powder at Targhee
- Seeing the fir trees heavy and drooping from the snow-- it reminds me of Wyoming!
- Exam-time studying followed by Christmas relaxing (the idea of mental earned exaustion)
- Snow-mobiling-- especially when you jump it (and that one time a baby moose was running ahead of Blaine and I-- and then the mom came out and was running next to us . . . sort of surreal)
- Dancing in the living room-- when my energy builds up and I'm about to explode
PS: Ryan-- check out the comment some dude left in response to your opinion on Santa-- what a psycho.
