Year End Letter.

So I saw this video on Jay Leno last night. It is probably one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

Merry Christmas

Finals week ended on December 12, but lucky for me I was finished with finals a day early so I went home.  It was nice being home for a while.  I can't really say I did anything super exciting the first few weeks of Christmas break....sigh.  I started working again at Inkley's the second week I was home.  It was nice having something to do, but I hate Inkley's and Dave Ritz with all my heart. Anyway, Christmas was a lot of fun.  I got a Manfrotto tripod which made my life worth living pretty much.  Eventually I'll have enough money to buy a head for it so I can actually use it.  Ha ha.  
On December 29, I went to the Jazz
 game with Kassie.  She won the tickets at work, and we sat on the EIGHTH ROW!  It was INSANE.  I still can't believe how close we were.  It was by far the best game I've ever been to.  I was so giddy I couldn't sit still.   Ha ha the poor guy sitting next to me probably thought I was on crack or something.  We got some pretty sweet pictures (Most of them were of Kyle Korver.  I love him.)  I must say I looked ext
remely attractive while sporting my Jr. Jazz jersey that I bough at D.I.

Ginger the Chicken and My Road Trip


Okay so this is the second go around for this post.  My computer had issues earlier so we'll see how this goes.  Last week our friends Kyle and Kenyon from Payson came down to Cedar City to visit us.  It was so fun to see them.  They spent the first night at Britney and Camille's apartment and then the next night and my apartment.  The night they were staying at our apartment, Whitney's boyfriend Jace showed up on our doorstep with a big cardboard box that was all taped up.  We were kind of confused because Whitney was gone somewhere and we had no idea he was coming over.  After he left Britney and I opened up the box and inside there was a CHICKEN.   Yes, you heard me right, a chicken.  A very alive chicken with feathers and everything.  It turns out Jace was asking her to a dance that is coming up.  Anyway, we waited for Whitney to come home so she could see her gift, and when she finally did a dumb Avon lady came over to talk to Whit.  After an extremely long, anxious wait the blasted woman finally left, and we took Whitney to the bathroom (where the box was) so she could open it up and see what Jace had left her.  What she didn't know is that while she was gone, I had taken a knife and cut out the bottom of the box so when she picked it up the chicken would fall out and run all over the place.  (Jace had informed us that it was a really mean chicken and would bite and scratch you.)  
When she picked the box up to take it into her room, the bottom didn't fall out which I was thoroughly disappointed about.  But anyway, Whitney opened up the box and freaked out, just like we had anticipated.  She kept saying, GUYS!  WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH A CHICKEN?! WE AREN'T ALLOWED TO HAVE PETS HERE!"  I just loved the fact that she would even consider keeping the chicken as a pet.  (Whitney grew up on a farm.)  We convinced her that jace told us how nice the chicken was and that she should pick it up.  Ha ha ha.  I know, I'm the best roommate ever, right?  Fortunately for her, it must have been so tired from sitting in a box all day that it was too lazy to peck her eyes out.  Whitney decided she wanted to name it Ginger after the chicken on Chicken Run.  After a while, we had to find some way to get rid of the chicken.  We had a number of ideas one of which included us setting it free in the library.  That would have been a funny option, but we value our educations a little too much.  So we decided to set it free in our friends' apartment.  Their door is never locked and we've just walked in on more than one occasion.  We thought it would be hilarious for them to come home to a chicken just chilling in their house.  
In honor of them all being loyal McCain supporters, we almost tied an SUU Students for Obama sticker to its leg, but that would have made it too obvious who it was that left such a surprising visitor in their home, and I'm rather attached to my sticker.  I may have expressed my love for Barack (or should I say President Obama?) a few too many times to them.  ANYWAY, we went over to their house and the door was locked!   We were so bummed.  We headed over to Juniper Halls which are the dorms across the street from where we live and set our little friend free in our friend's room.  It was hilarious.  Ginger pooped in his room, and I heard they had to call animal control to get it out.  Animal Control!  Ha ha ha for a chicken!  
Anyway the next day, I skipped school and drove out to Colorado Springs with my dad, to go to the BYU vs. Airforce game.  It was so much fun.  We stayed with the Nimers.  
 was fun to see everybody.  Saturday morning before the game, my dad and I went to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.  It was pretty sweet because the zoo is built up on the mountain.
 Anyway, it was freezing, but they had a lot of cool animals, and we got to get really close to them.  I petted a giraffe.  I guess they have like 19 giraffes out there.  Oh and don't worry, in honor of the upcoming game, we went and saw the cougars.  They had this super cool room where there were over a hundred birds and they would just fly down and land on your head or your shoulder and you could feed them.  
The BYU game was awesome.  It was incredibly cold, but it was awesome.  It was hard telling the Airforce and BYU fans apart because everyone was wearing blue, but I was surprised how many BYU fans were there.  We had a good time.  Then Sunday morning we drove back.

Hmm....

So I'm new to this whole blogging thing.  There really isn't too much that is exciting in my life to talk about, but we'll see how this goes.
