I have the best roomate. As proof, my roomate Gladriel took a day off work to come home and teach us how to snowboard at Sundance, where we could all afford the lift ticket. I learned so much that day!
What a beautiful day at Big Spring Hallow! We went snowshoing for a couple hours, our hair, mouths and nose hairs were all frozen half way through.
This is my New Dog Luz. She is so smart!!! She is a lab Pit Bull mix and is really sweet. As you can see here, she helps me study really hard! Actually not really, but at least she provides a good pillow for me when I can't go any longer!
I just finished my first final as a law student. It was hell through and through. But there are a lot of perks to being in law school. Like really good friends who bring me food when I need it, or who are willing to take some time out of their own studying to help me understand something. There are a lot of really smart people here, and just enough regular intelligent people that make me think I might just have a chance at passing.
Somehow I felt that I had arrived by taking my first final. I am not sure what I have arrived at, or where I was going in the first place, but where ever it is I have arrived there. Maybe it is just facing one of my biggest fears, that I thought was soo far in the future that I would never reach it.
So here I am, up on a Wed. night after having taken a final this morning and studying till now at 1:15 am. I turn 26 next week. That another thing I thought would never actually get here. Next week I will be in my late 20's.
Yet after having arrived at where ever it is I am, I still wanted to run home yesterday to mom and have her hold me as the stress was too much and, my biological clock was not cooperating with me, springing my period on me the day before my first final.
I don't think arriving is all it is cracked up to be.
Lani got to come to Oregon to take our family photo's. She was really good and patient. This was taken right before she left. Anders now has a thing about wearing clothes. He doesn't like them unless they have a football or soccer ball on them. I am pretty sure Chelle was making him wear a nice red sweater that didn't have anything sporty on it at all. So off it went.
This is me with little Madeline Marie Larson, my sister Chelle's baby girl.
This is my Beautiful niece Ava. She is georgeous, can you tell.
This is Anders, my nephew at Nathan's football game. My bro Nathan looks pretty tough. I think this was the game where in the 4th quarter he took down the rusher and ended up with about 6 guys on top of him. He was left with a concusion. I guess he couldn't figure out where he was or what he was doing for about three days! That a boy Nathan!!!
We thought we needed a good roomate picture, so this is what we came up with. We just got that rug, so we were loving laying on it. I am not quite sure what we were doing with our fingures, I think we were trying to pick each other's noses.
Lazy Sunday. That's my cuz Amber with her eyes closed. She is a super fun girl and I get to have her as a roomate, which rocks
Glad and I got dressed up for a fun party tonight. She was an 80's rocker and I was a zebra. We had sooo much fun. The wig and ears are curteousy of Gladriel.
This was when Anders came to visit me. He loved the house. Everynight we would jump on the bed together. That's his football. He can throw it pretty good. Ya, I am pretty sure he is the cutest little guy ever!
This one is a little misplaced in the sceme of things. This was this summer, this is my friend David, we call him Vegas, cause that's where he's from. We were watching our friend Jess climb and our necks got sore, and we found this was the best position to remedie our perdicament, We could watch and lay down at the same time. I can't wait for the warm weather to come back.
This is my cute Nephew Anders running in a Hay Maze. He is checking out the sweet star stamp on his hand they gave him when he went in.
These are my cute nieces, they are twins. Could they be any cuter!! I can't wait to see them for Thanksgiving!
Here is the outside of the house. This is before we got the new roof. We had to tear the first layer of roof off then they put the second layer on top of the bottom layer you see here.
Here are the stairs. I love the carpet on them. It was a remnant, so a left over, they gave me a good deal on it.
This is an old picture, but you can get the feel of Jessica's room from it. Her colors were pretty intense too. But they look great. She has a new window too. New window are in most of the house now.
Here is the dinning room, notice there is no table. We usually sit on the floor for our formal dinning. I got new rugs for this room and the living room. And although we got that little nook all cleaned up we have not built the counter there yet. We will have a counter there for studying once we get to it. Right now we just store our tools and supplies back there.
