Christmas.

Merry Merry.
It was a great day.
Got the new gear.
Including these bad boys.

Those boots and my board will become bestest friends this winter.
I also got some clothes.
And shoes.
And some much needed cash.
And some PJ's.
All in all, a great day of football and Angry Birds and Christmas festivities with the fam.

Merry Christmas 2010.

Home.

Ahhhhh.
It's so nice to be home.
With the besties.

And the fam.
And the good old STG.
And its floods.

Welcome back to me.
How i've missed this.

..chelle..

Ew.

Finals.
You suck.
Stop ruining my life.
My GPA.
My chances of finding love.
And my appetite.
Oh and my new found break-out would appreciate you stopping too.
Seeing how everyone sees my face.
Thanks a billion.
Peace and Blessings.

Losing.

I have a problem....

I seem to be able to get into playoffs with my teams.
Especially in high school.
And we play great.
Unfortunately, we just can't finish.
We just can't win.
It's pretty disappointing.

I came up to BYU and got on a Intramural soccer team with some old teammates.
Which here at BYU, Intramurals are the biggest thing.
Just as big as school sports.
Soccer is hard.
Competitive league.
And we are fantastic.
Seriously.
We are so good.
We play well together, and just feed off each other.
Anyways...
We travel all the way through the tournament and make it to the finals.
And we score first in the finals.
1-0.
Halftime- still 1-0.
In the second half, they score.
1-1
And in the last minute....they score again.
2-1.
Loser.
Again.
I was so disappointed. :[

Then, I walk off the field.
And I hear a cheer.
And I look over.
And I see my friends.
Who took time out of their schedules to come watch me.
:]
I was so touched.
I have the best friends.
They are the greatest.
I couldn't ask for better friends.

Especially this kid.
Who came up and took me out for some fun before my seclusion from the world before and during Finals Week...

So.
In a sense, I'm a loser.
But in a way, I'm not.
I have great friends....
It makes me a winner.

Class.

I just had to blog about this...

In Book of Mormon today we were discussing Alma, chapters 1-4.
We were talking about Nehor, the Anti-Christ, and his priestcraft ways.
It was going good.
Then Dr. Whitchurch asks us what Nehor would look like if he walked in our class today.
Some kid raises his hand
And says "JERSEY SHORE."
Confused, Dr. Whitchurch says "What is Jersey Shore?"
Everyone's laughing, by the way.
And a girl says, trying not to be awkward, "It's a popular MTV TV show."
Dr Whitchurch: "OH."
And the kid, totally embarrassed says, "Yeah. I've just heard about it."
Way to be random kid I don't know.
Way to be.

Thanks for enduring BOM with me Ash. :]

Grown-up.

This weekend....
I had an event in life that made me realize that I was growing up.
I know.
It's taken me awhile.
Nothing had really made me realize what I was getting myself into.
Not graduating from high school.
Or getting a job.
Or moving out.
Or going to college.
Or sending friends off on mission.
Or my little brother getting baptized.
None of those things made me realize that I had grown-up....
Until now.

My good friend Ember is engaged.
And had a beautiful bridal shower.
And i was in attendance at that bridal shower.
Don't get me wrong.
It was fun.
The food was good.
Ember was glowing.
Everything was so precious.
But.
At one point.
I turned to Jules....
And said, "SHE'S. GETTING. MARRIED."
And Julie in all her wisdom turns to me and says, "Chelle. Calm. We'll all be getting married soon."
ummmm......
WHAT?!?!?!
I'm 18.
I could get married now.
I don't even want to think about that.
I'm not even steady dating.
Completely single.
How could I get married?
Bleh.
It's just so sad.
I remember when I was in high school and the extent of my dating questions were who was going to ask me to the dance.
I also remember playing soccer with Ember.
In high school.
Now.
Everything is different.
I'm growing up.
I have to start acting like one...
Easier said than done.

But for now.
I'll just ponder growing up.
And the life decisions on the way.
And maybe someday i'll get there.
Someday.
On the bright side...look at my pretty friends at the shower. :]

Happy end of November.

Weekend.

Just when I needed one most...
A great weekend. :]
Friends are the best.
Seriously.
I couldn't ask for any better ones.
Throw in some Harry Potter premiers....

Some epic Paint Party dancing. (seriously. Best dance ever.)

Some Turkey Bowl....Wardie style....

The last football game with some besties....

And a good old birthday party for Siera....

And you get an AMAZING weekend.
Seriously.
One of the best yet.
And now i'm heading back to the STG.
To chill with the crew.
And the fam.
And my besties.
:]
Two good weekends in a row.
Can't get any better than that.
