We drank yummy yummy delectable tea.
We ate quinoa.
We painted our nails.
We watched 500 Days of Summer.
We ate homemade popcorn.
And we talked, a lot.
I love these girlies.
Especially in 3D!
But seriously, it is such a good movie. I loved it. I wish I was as connected to nature and trees and energy as the indigenous people in the movie. So good. And the 3D was pretty much awesome. Stacy, Erin, Aryana, Anita, and I all looked great in the sweet glasses too.
Sister is flying over the Pacific Ocean!
I’m excited for her to come back, but I will really miss having the room to myself.
Tonight I spent a few hours deep cleaning our nasty dirty kitchen and living room. It is oh so wonderful now!
I love it clean. Love it love it.
And I made beautifully crafted chore chart for our house and us four girls, so hopefully this house will be clean all semester long.
I do love a clean environment. It just makes everything better.
I love it here.
And I love it in Jerusalem.
And I love it in Alaska too.
Today celebrates the Wise Men coming from afar and giving gifts to Baby Jesus. I wanted to give gifts today too, but I didn’t really. My excuse is that I flew 2500 miles over the Pacific Ocean. But I know, I should’ve planned ahead.
I still have a ten page paper left to write, due tomorrow at noon, but I’m all done with exams and studying! Before I start writing though, I’m celebrating finishing tests by mindlessly unwinding on my computer, and in my mindless wanderings I came across these pictures…
Thank you for creating the best song ever. :)
I love Christmas time, so much. And I love it even more after watching the First Presidency’s Christmas devotional. You should watch it too. So good. Makes me focus on keeping the “Christ” in “Christmas”.
We’re celebrating Christ’s birthday.
What gifts are you going to give?
Chelsie Tavernier and I ran into each other tonight on our runs and we decided we needed to have a fun little Jerusalem party. We wanted Moon and Kara there too, but sadly they were busy, so Chels and I partied anyway.
I put on my genie pants and Jerusalem sandals, went and picked up Chels, and we drove to the store to get pitas. A little side note, we listened to Arabic techno and Jerusalem by Matisyahu the whole car ride, while talking about our fellow JCites.
Once we had our whole wheat pitas (yum yum) we went back to my house and got out the goods. Hummus, almond butter, jam, peanut butter, and honey. (Sorry, no nutella or halva spread). Then we plopped our pitas in the toaster, put on Aladdin, and began our feast. Twas marvelous!
P.S. We decided not to watch Aladdin and went to the Blind Side instead, a very very good movie. Loved it. You should watch it.
Salaam and Shalom!
I am grateful for this month of November and it’s dedication to gratitude. And I’m grateful for my daily posts of thankfulness this month because I am so much more grateful for everything! How wonderful is this life?! Very wonderful!
If you would like to know my innermost gratitude and what I am veeeeeery thankful for, go back to my Thanksgiving Day post.
P.S. I’m also grateful for the song called I’m Grateful by Bianca Merkley. Very good. And it’s even done by my Jerusalem roommate’s sister in law. Excellent tunes she has. Check it out.
P.P.S. I’m not grateful Carla isn’t here with me anymore. I miss her quite a lot already and she’s only been gone a few hours.
I am forever grateful for Mr. Alexander Graham Bell because he invented the first telephone! What would I if I couldn’t talk on the tellie? I guess I would write more letters, which I should do anyway.
I’m also grateful that cell phones were invented too, and that they aren’t as big as a toaster anymore like they used to be. And I’m especially grateful for cell phones because then I can talk to whoever, whenever, wherever. Isn’t it incredible?
I called my uncle Jaret tonight to wish him happy birthday and it was so fun talking to him. He’s pretty much the most hilarious dude on the planet. He cracks me up. I tried convincing him to come to AK for Christmas. Really really hope he does!
So a big thank you to the geniuses who have revolutionized the communication world.
As for texting… hmmm… I don’t. But these days, I kind of want to a little bit. But I’ve just been kind of anti texting for so long. I suppose that’s a bit irrational though. Texting is pretty good, I just hate when people are obnoxiously out of control and rude with it, which happens. Hmm, maybe I should become more pro texting and cave to the societal pressures forcing themselves upon me.
