I knew it.

I knew if I made it look like it was snowing inside...

It would snow outside!! Wahoo!

Notice the snow out our back porch door.. And my beautiful and favoritest snowflake..

Oh and just a side note:
Honey-flavored Greek Yogurt, Bananas and pomegranates is my new favorite breakfast!

 Happy Snow Day!!

It's Perfectly Acceptable

It's perfectly acceptable to:
thoroughly enjoy a light parade, catch candy, and getting excited about Christmas.

It's perfectly acceptable to:
take pictures of your dream home. If BYU paid me $1000 a hour, I would only have to work a little over a year to afford this home.

It's perfectly acceptable to:
get a kick out of cheesy marques.

It's perfectly acceptable to:
love having $100 (courtesy of BYU Soccer) to spend on dinner decorations. Yep. Best trip to Hobby Lobby EVER.

But most of all, it's perfectly acceptable to:
take a nap on the only tiny spot left on your bed after a long, crazy, fun, and busy week.

Thank goodness it's the weekend!

Just A Little Blue Book

You will never believe what came in the mail the other day.

This beautiful little blue book.

I can now officially get back in the country. 

That is, if I ever leave.

Check off #35: Get a passport.

The reason for this, you may ask?

Drum roll please.

Thanks to BYU Soccer I have the incredible opportunity to  

tour Europe with the team in April!!

I am so incredibly excited!! 3 Months ago I typed up their itinerary, feeling incredibly jealous and depressed that I wasn't going with. But a few weeks ago, Coach Rockwood told me that if I could fork out $3000, I was so welcome to go with them! Well, after much thinking, praying, and discussing with my parents, I decided it would be well worth it!

Before I talked to my parents about it, a friend asked me what I thought their reactions to it would be.

Dad: If you want to go, go. If you don't, don't. (Simple as that in his mind.)

Mom: Reaction 1: Mm... That's a lot of money and you only work 3/4 time and you just bought a car, etc.

OR 

Reaction 2: AWWWW!! I'm so jealous!! I want to come with you!!

The reactions:
Dad: See previous. Dead on.
Mom: See Reaction #2.

Thank goodness I have absolutely wonderful and supportive parents!

Even though I am paying my own way, this will be an opportunity of a lifetime!! (And nothing like previous attempted plans to tour Europe which probably had the potential to end up being made into a "Taken Again" movie. Seriously. Click here to read about "Taken" #1.)

For 12 Days we will tour Austria, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic, play soccer, and have a grand ol time!

So, to any of you bloggers out there who have been to these countries, any suggestions, advice, or just excitement? (I like to hear that too :)

Love. Love. Love.
