Done, done, and done!!!
Yay, we are both officially done with finals, at least for this semester.

Scary Santa Scott
Even though I just finished taking a break from studying, I figured I'd take another one just for the heck of it and blog.
Christy and I are big fans of The Office. We were watching the latest episode on Hulu and I just happened to pause the video on this:
If you haven't seen the episode, Michael Scott is supposed to be sober here but you'd never be able to tell from this snapshot. Kind of reminds me of some of my less savory pictures. I guess everyone has their bad picture days. Sorry to give you yours Santa Scott...

Don't "Let it Snow"
Christy loves listening to Christmas music (starting right after Halloween). And I let her enjoy the festive sounds, with a few exceptions. Every time "Let it Snow" comes on the radio, I immediately change the station. And that song just worked its way further into my blacklist.
Ever since our Taurus died a few months back, we have been borrowing my parents 1990 Toyota Corolla (which ironically was mine until Christy and I got married and went down to one car). Here's exhibit A:
Well, as you might imagine, a car that is almost as old as we are has tons of problems and needs a lot of maintenance. The heat just doesn't work. We had to completely rig up the electrical so that the tail lights work (with the down side that the dash light is gone). The list can go on and on. But the latest problem is probably one of the funniest. Last week, our windshield wipers stopped working. It's probably an easy fix (for someone with more car savvy than me), but I'm waiting for finals to be over to even bother with it.
Anyway, yesterday it just had to rain/snow while we were out on the roads. The one thing we were just hoping wouldn't happen. But don't worry, we figured it out. The passenger of the car simply had to reach out the window and move the wipers by hand. Then the driver could look through the tiny visibility hole (since we couldn't get the full range of the wipers) and navigate more or less successfully. We must have looked like idiots hanging out of the car like that, but at least we made it home safely.
So Santa, can we please have a new car for Christmas? And in the meantime, don't "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!" Thank you.

Cheesecake anyone?
Tonight was our ward Christmas party. There was a dinner, a program put on by the primary kids, and a dessert contest. We of course (meaning me) decided that we should enter the contest, by making cheesecake bites.
They really were yummy :) AND we won first place. I was very surprised because there were like 15 entries and they all looked good.
(This picture is a little embarrassing. Can you tell that I spent more time on the cheesecake than I did getting ready for the day?)
The prize was a $40 gift card to Target- my favorite place. Yep, it was a pretty exciting night and maybe, just maybe my luck is changing after all...

Changing luck
This past week the Daily Universe, the BYU newspaper, has been doing a daily drawing where you have to fill out a slip and turn it in. It's a super easy process, and therefore tons of people enter it. Everyday 5 people are drawn and win a $50 gift card.
Brandon and I have both faithfully entered everyday, hoping but not expecting to win. On Wednesday morning before my class I grabbed a paper like usual and turned to the page that announced the winners... and guess who won?
Yep, Brandon won. It was very exciting.

(NOT ME!)
Yep, Brandon won. It was very exciting.
Also, earlier in the year he won a drawing from the law school.
I would definitely say that his luck is changing :)
Now, if we could just work on mine...

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
Oh wait, this is from Halloween!
So, it's a little late :)

This is our brand new fake tree that we bought for way cheap on black friday.
A few weeks ago Brandon had a huge paper due for one of his law classes. He spent endless hours working on it. I thought these pictures were funny :)
