Crazy Weekend!!

As this semester is drawing to a close, I have a lot of work to get done!! I took a break from school this weekend to relax and celebrate. Sharee (one of my roommates) and I decorated our house for Christmas last week. We strung Christmas chains all across the living room, made a string of popcorn to decorate the walls, hung light up snowflakes in front of our window, hung up a real Christmas wreathe and so much more!!! Every day and night we watch at least one Christmas movie on DVD or on television!!! It is starting to feel like the holiday season!!!
This weekend was exciting!! On Friday, we went on an adventure. Mary, Sharee, Sydney, and i went to watch the finals of Vans Triple Crown Surfing competition. It was so cool!! It was just fun to be there and watch! The kid who won is only 19!!! I felt like i haven't accomplished very much with my life because this kid is a professional and won one of the biggest surfing competition in the world!! After the adventure there, we stopped at the Starbucks on North Shore to get peppermint hot chocolate!! It was so delicious!!! We went back to the house and watched a couple of Christmas movies. When we were watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas, I did my roommate Sharee's hair like Cindy Lou Who. She looked so cute!! Since she was all dressed up, we went out for an adventure. The first stop was McDonalds. The workers there were really confused and kept staring!! It was really funny for the rest of us in the car. We went to Foodland after and the little kids loved to stare at her. They were so confused by it. Their faces were priceless!!!
On Saturday, I went to the UH vs BYU football game! I am not really a fan of Provo so I was cheering for UH! We had amazing seats (the second row!!!) and could see all the action. It was really such a fun experience. UH did not do so well in the second half, but it was still fun!!!
Sunday may have been the most exciting day of the week!! It marked two weeks until I am home for the holidays!!! I cannot wait. Also, there was a FIRE in my oven. It was so crazy!!! A couple of girls had made a turkey earlier on in the day and a bunch of grease settled on the bottom of the oven. A while later, a girl was cooking cookies in the oven and we noticed a bunch of smoke coming out from the oven. We opened the door and saw a huge fire!! None of us knew what to do and so we panicked. Luckily a few boys heard us, ran upstairs and threw some baking soda on it. It put out the fire, but it was crazy!! We noticed how our house has no smoke alarms, so hopefully there won't be any more fires. Then the sewer started to over flow! The water was shut of completely and was off for a long time! We had to wait till morning to be able to shower and brush our teeth. It is kinda a weird feeling to go to be and want to wash our face, but not be able to. Luckily, it is back on and we have running water again!!
This past week was tons of fun and crazy!! I am so grateful for all of it!!!
