The weekend before finals Jared and I went home to his house in Loa. We had a wonderful time. I met pretty much the whole town in two trips to the grocery store. I even got to help cut down a Christmas Tree for the first time. I got to go hooding. It is like sledding, but you sit on an old car hood and the truck pulls you down the road. It was a lot of fun. I giggled the whole time.
Jared is looking at me because it is ridiculous I am laughing so much.
Jessica was our great photographer she was so brave to sit in the bed of the truck. You can see part of the Christmas Tree :)
Surprisingly enough finals were not too bad this year. I spent study day with some dear friends making chocolates for girls in our ward. Then the tests came and went. All the final papers were turned in and now I can say I have three semesters left!!! Hooray!
I made a cake to celebrate finals being over. We ate and enjoyed the feeling of relief that came. Then on Friday Asha, Jared, and I went out to dinner.... Well kinda. Jared's niece Josephine Savannah was born as we got to the restaurant so he left to be with his family. Asha and I continued on with the evening. We had a final girls night just the two of us before she moves to New York to be a nanny. We saw the movie Tangled.
I am really going to miss Asha when she is 2,000 miles away!When everyone left I spent about two weeks in Cedar working. It was nice for the money, but at times really sad looking at how deserted the town was.
Christmas is a wonderful time of year. I am so grateful for the wonderful meaning behind Christmas. I am also grateful for the time I can spend with friends and family.
