I'm Home!

So, I drove home yesterday night with some people from Vegas for Thanksgiving Break. I do not suggest driving 10 hours starting at 5 pm. Bad idea! It felt like the longest car ride of my life. I think that part of it was the fact that the sun went down about a half an hour after we started driving, so it felt like 9 pm at 5. I am very glad to be home though!
So today I got my license renewed and it took me 2 and a half hours. I forgot how much I don't like the DMV. The next thing that I have to do is my doctor's appointment on Monday and then the Dentist on Tuesday. Then I should have my paperwork ready to turn in next week! By my calculations (of course this depends on how fast the Stake Pres gets things in) I should get my call either Dec 23, or Dec 30. I am pretty excited to figure out where I'm going :) And I only have 3 weeks of school left! It will be probably the hardest 3 weeks of my life, but I know that I can do it, and hopefully I'll have good grades to go along with it!

Birthday

So for my 21st birthday I just had cake. I didn't have a big bash like most kids who turn 21. As you can see i blew out the candles in my pajamas. But I did make some new pajamas for my birthday.(Which is a story in and of itself, I made them without a pattern(I'm pretty impatient mom!) and cut them too small so I had to use some of the pink fabric from my Halloween costume as Hera to make them fit right. Now they are perfect) My roommate Sarah made me a tasty cake and I got to blow out the candles! Yay for birthdays.



Check out my sweet Napolean Dynamite Dancing skills t-shirt (thats kinda a mouthful)

These are my new PJs

Halloween

Today was quite an adventure, and needless (or maybe not so needless) to say, I didn't get an ounce of homework done (bad Nyssa!) But, I did go to the temple for baptisms, go shopping in my Halloween costume, eat pizza with my roommates and a bunch of my roommate's friends, see my school's version of Tartuffe by Moliere, buy cutesie fabric for new pj pants, get photographed for a friend's photography project {http://laulouwat.blogspot.com/}, and make hot apple cider. What an eventful day!



This is my roommate Sarah, and no, this is not just a bad case of "red-eye" she dyed her contacts with red food coloring. I think its pretty sweet!

until next time!

FHE Party

I went to my ward Halloween Party on Monday. Mt group went as characters from hercules. I was Hera the wife of Zeus. I made Hercules' costume and phil's costume. It was a really fun time. I LOVE Halloween!

If any of you have heard a rumor..

Chances are, the rumor is correct. I have decided to go on a mission. So before yesterday I had a pretty clear plan of how the next 2 years were gonna plan out. I was going to wait for Richard to get back from his mission, finish my degree, and then find a job to support Richard, after he got back, with school. BUT, I guess God had different plans for me. I had a really strong prompting from the spirit at church yesterday that I was supposed to pray about going on a mission. Every talk, song, and comment in Sacrament meeting was pertaining to this, and I felt the Spirit so strongly guiding me to this decision. I have decided not to come back to school for winter semester, but to finish after I get back. It feels weird and exciting at the same time to know that I will be going. My plan is to put my papers in in November or December. So... that is that. Richard already told me he'd wait for me to get back so that is comforting. But yeah, that is the rumor, and that's what is going to happen very shortly in my life.

Conference Weekend

This weekend was a lot of fun. Two of my roommates went to Utah for the weekend. Sarah went Home because she was the maid of honor for her friend Cali. Emily went with some friends and got into all 4 sessions of conference. I'm totally jealous. So Lerin and I were home all weekend alone. I made chicken fingers and honey mustard and minestrone and (my favorite) Spice Cake!! Here are some pics




we also decided to have a bubble blowing contest...I didn't do that well. This was the only good picture I got!








oh also, if you want to know what Richard is up to, I made a blog for him. Its called Fishers of Men and it should be in the side bar --------------------------->

In other news, it snowed almost all day today! I would normally think this is pretty cool and a good chance for hot chocolate, but its supposed to be fall! My fall was taken from me and I'm not happy....(fall is my favorite season)

so yes, I hope you all have a splendid week..I hope mine is good too. Toodles!

Cookies for FHE

So, my apartment is in charge of the treats for FHE tomorrow so we decided to make no bake cookies. By we I mean me and my awesome roommate Lerin.





This was so much fun and I love my roommates :)

Here's a picture of my awesome kitchen
