I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Hello Ladies!

I apologize for not replying very quickly last week. But it's SO good to hear from both of you and that you're doing well. I miss you both more than you know! It's been so long since we've all been together...but despite that I still feel like we're close friends. Berg is right, I plan on staying close for a very long time, no matter what!

Hailey - congrats on making it a year! I can't believe that was a whole year ago. My goodness that went by fast. How long do you have left for school? Two semesters? Or...I guess just next semester? How was seeing your family on Thanksgiving?!

Berg - How are you and Chris? I follow whatever you post on facebook and you sound happy! I was so happy I got to come home for your wedding, it was great! Still working with the same people? How is the house?!

Well as my title declares - I love Christmas. Christmas just makes me so happy! My roommate (Chelsie) and I just finished decorating our living room. Complete with a real tree (that smells live heaven!), glitter ornaments and plenty of lights, it's our little own winter wonderland!

I'm pretty sure everyone around me is about ready to smack the Christmas out of me because I talk about it so much. And act like a giddy little child when I do.

School has been good. This has been the best semester in college so far! Not because of grades really, but because of the classes I'm taking. I'm finished with generals and I'm taking all journalism classes this semester. Also I've started writing for our school newspaper, The Statesman, and I've made some very good friends there. I'm involved in a couple other extra-curricular's and am working my usual three jobs. People ask how I do it...I don't know, but I'm happy! I like to be busy.

I have two more semesters and then I have a couple of places I'd really like to move - both for internship work and grad school. I'm thinking about three different places - DC, Seattle and San Diego. 

Man the time has flown. A year ago I was in such a different place than I am now. Still with Tim (whoa...), not very happy, blah blah blah. A lot has changed since then! I really have come to love Logan. I've got a couple jobs with great coworkers and I've made some really really good friends. 

Although I miss you both dearly! I'm completely on board for getting together this break! I'm getting a whole week of vacation! From Dec. 25 to Jan. 1. And I'll most likely be in Idaho. Berg - my family hasn't really moved yet. My dad did to work. But Kris is finishing his senior year and my mom is working on selling the house and all of the fun work that comes with that job. So my family is kind of split up right now, which is why I stayed in Logan for Thanksgiving (and work...). 

That was off topic. Point is, I'll be in St.A for Christmas and for many days after! I'm looking forward to seeing both of you! :) LOVE YOU!

Holiday fun fun fun

Hey ladies!!!
Bergen I am so glad that you blogged! I miss you both dearly! 
I am so glad that your marriage is going well. I felt like a complete hermit after I got married just because I Michael was the only person I wanted to be with. Also, friends just kind of expect that married people fall off the face of the earth. But mostly I choose to be a hermit..and I don't have too many friends here or time for hanging out.
School sucks, I am basically failing...but if I can get through this semester and next then I am done! WOOHOO!!! 
I got a new job. I now work for Nu Skin with Michael! That's exciting for me...
Ooh and I am going home for Thanksgiving!!! We leave tomorrow night as soon as Michael gets off work and we are staying through Sunday! I haven't been home since your wedding Berg and I am in serious need of some fam time.
Danielle how are you doing? I haven't seen facebook updates or anything from you...you back in Africa?
Also, if we are all in St. A for Thanksgiving...we should PARTY!! :) 
Well..that's it for me! 
Love and miss you both!

Happy Holidays!

Hello!

The holidays are just around the corner and I felt like blogging!  How are you doing?  Any great and wonderful plans for Thanksgiving?  

Hailey---Happy Anniversary! It's crazy to think it has been a year already!  Although, it's already been over 2 months for me...so time flies!  I'm glad you are still super happy and in love! :)

Danielle--What are your plans for Thanksgiving?  I assume your family has already moved.  Will you be traveling to them this holiday season to visit and have family time?

I hope you are both having the time of your life in Utah, studying hard, finish finals with a bang and have fun plans for the upcoming holidays.  All is well here in Idaho.  I miss you both a lot.  Being married is fun, but not having friends outside of that marriage is hard!  Amanda and I need to hang out more, since she's pretty much the only one left here!  She is going to be a nanny in DC next year, so she won't even be here for long. :(  It makes me sad, but happy for her! 

I wish we could all get together for our crazy fun Christmas party.  I miss you guys! (I know, redundant!)  I feel like we are all separating and doing our own thing and I love that and hate it.  I hope we all stay friends in the years to come.  Through the marriages, babies, families, moving and everything--you'll always be my best friends!

Chris and I are settling in nicely.  Our house is finally feeling like a home and it's fun to put everything together and decorate.  We started watching LOST and we are totally addicted.  I love netflix!

I miss you both terribly and want to hear all about your lives!

Bergen

Back to life

Hey girls!
Wow it seems like so much has changed just since last weekend!!!
Bergen, you are married! How was the honeymoon? The pictures look fun so that's exciting! 
Danielle are you coming to Provo for the BYU game or is it in Logan?
Guys we need to keep caught up! I figured out who the stalker I was telling you about is: Kenny something that ends in an ing. The rent's house got shot at!!! How scary is that? So Berg, since you are still in st. a you need to be careful and tell Amanda to be safe too! We should add her to this blog, I miss that girl.
Okay so I don't really have anything exciting to talk about, I am just bored and avoiding homework. Basically I had a great time seeing y'all at the wedding. I miss you girls like crazy. I don't think I really realize how much I miss seeing you until after I see you again and go I miss your pants off!!! I've also decided that I want to blog and get paid for it...that would be fun, cuz then I could talk about things that nobody cares about but enough people enjoy reading about. Like therapy dogs. They get all the rights of service dogs but are a lot less expensive. I want one! Michael and I looked at shelters online today to find one and I want one! I have to get it cleared though...I think I am crazy enough to need one :) woo. Also, school is not fun when you put off general education classes. That is just a word to the wise that I would blog to all high school seniors and college freshmen. Berg are you done with school forever? Or just on sabbatical? Ps how is the married life!? How is your new house? Your Husband? Ah such a weird word to get used to huh!!!
Okay I am done now. Love you both. 

questions for berg

Berg I have some questions for you: 
Can I wear jewelery?
Does Michael wear a full suit or just Sunday clothes?
Yup that's all. If you need me, call me! Love!

5 Days and Counting!

Hello!

It has been so long since I've even thought about this blog! I'm happy you started it up, Hailey!  Oh my poor wedding racked brain!  I am so happy to get to see all my favorite people on Saturday.  In case you didn't hear, there is a rehearsal dinner Friday the 14th at 7:00 at the Stake Center.  If you can't make it, that's fine, I know you are both coming up from Utah.  I just want you there for my wedding!!

I am so happy and excited and cannot wait to be married!  These past few months have gone by SO quickly and there has been a fair amount of tears, stress and melt downs, but it's all coming together and I will be so glad to just have it over with and be married. 

Chris and I are going to San Diego for our honeymoon.  We'll be there for a week and I am so excited for it! Zoo and SeaWorld!!!  Yay!  We are renting a house here in St. Anthony.  I invite you all to come hang out in my teeny tiny house with me :) 

How are you both doing?  Hailey, I can't believe you will be graduating soon! I feel so left behind as far as education goes.  I'm glad they finally figured out why you were so tired all the time.  Thyroids suck...haha  Danielle, I want details of your trip to Ethiopia!!  I read your article, it was a fun read!  You're the only one who hasn't tried on your bridesmaid dress....So I hope it works! ( I know, it's purple and you both are SUPER excited about it, but just grin and bear it!!)

Remember to wear black flats and not curl your hair!!  (Because apparently, your curls will take away from mine....idk!)

Can't wait to see you both.  If you could try to be at the Stake Center around 12:30 on Saturday, that would be great.  I love you both and am glad you are coming up to support me!  Off to do more wedding junk!

Bergen

Things New

Hello ladies!!
I hope that all is going well for both of you! I haven't had a real convo with either of you in a while so I decided to blog. Plus there's a lot going on, for example, Bergen you are getting married in a week!!! I'm so excited for you! Marriage is the best thing that has ever happened to me and so I can't wait until you can experience it too! 
Okay, news about me: I'm in school. I graduate next semester (I had one too many classes this semester, English 150 i.e. beginning English, which I tested out of, is keeping me from graduating, so I dropped a class and split my semesters). Anyway, I'm in two psych classes and all the rest are generals that I have neglected to take, so these next two semesters are going to be pretty boring, except that I think I will take up oil painting next semester. I love to paint! Who knew? 
Also, I have a new and insane craving for nail polish, not to eat, I just like collecting them...like I buy them every time I go to the store lol. I dyed my hair, it's black with some colored tints of purply/blue, so I'll match the dress at your wedding Berg! I've started Insanity and frequent bike riding, so hopefully I'll get fit soon. Good news! My thyroid crashed! That means my rapid weight gain wasn't even my fault and now I am being treated for it! I got on the medicine and lost three pounds! But then I got put on another anti-anxiety pill and it says that it may cause weight gain so hopefully it won't and I can just lose weight, but we'll see. Also the thyroid crash was what was making me sleep all the time (I slept like sixteen hours a day!) but today I woke up at 8 for no reason at all and I am still awake three and a half hours later! Go me! 
My cousin moved to Provo so that was exciting! I peed on a stick and it was negative, that was less exciting lol. Haha, I guess that's what the pill will do to ya lol.
Well that's about it about me...but you guys should blog because I miss you.
