New Mexico Football Game

It was freezing at the BYU v. New Mexico (thanks Cadence!) football game today. But Annie and I still had a good time!

Kiersten's Mission Call!

Today when I checked the mail there was a big white envelope! No, it wasn't an acceptance letter, but my dearest roommate's mission call! Since she's in the band, I had to wait until the football came until I could tell her! She was so excited and we made arrangements to get old friends together to watch her open it tonight. After a long and cold game it was finally time! Sister Kiersten Hammond has been called to the Budapest, Hungary mission! She leaves on January 14th! I am so excited for her . . . I love mission calls. She is so amazing and I know she's going to be the best missionary ever!!

True Blue

Today I went to Helaman fields and slid down a steep hill that was covered in a plastic sheet and a never-ending supply of thick, bubbly, blue foam. I then threw the foam, rolled in the foam and jumped on people to make them foamy. True and blue.

Things To Do:

1. School: There is always something to do for school, even when I think I have everything done, there is more. Reading, writing, meetings, class, tests, studying sessions, emails, presentations, the list goes on and on, and repeats daily.

2. Work: Everyday 9-12. But it is usually a nice part of my day. At least I don't have homework.

3. Sleep: This, I am actually doing pretty good at. Wake up everyday at 8:00 and usually ready to sleep around midnight (although Kiersten and I are good at delaying sleep and just talking about everything). But in the end, I still need more than 8 hours a night to stay alert and to not become "crabby Abby".

4. Have a life!: Life now consists of FHE on Mondays, tacos on Tuesday, meerkat reunions/Office on Thursdays, anything fun on Fridays, football on Saturdays, church (at 1:00!) on Sundays. Then add in my impressive list of physical activities: amazing inter mural football team, supporting the inter mural soccer team, running with Annie, and yes, Pilates! Also add in the long list of things to do this semester that Kiersten and I came up with (maybe sometime I'll even list all those things out)! I'm also trying to keep up on the piano (Bob would be proud), writing my missionaries, and making some amazing doodles in class.

5. Plan and Reflect: I'm also getting ready to go to China in January. signing up for training, researching about the culture, google-earthing etc. And I'm making a scrapbook of my fabulous study abroad to London.

6. Chill: This rarely ever happens.
