hello

So today is the first day of my spring semester classes and at the moment I'm chillin' by the library. I have an hour and a half before my next class so I thought I would give a little update!

The Christmas break was just awesome and I totally needed it! It was nice to be lazy and not worry about homework or finals for a while! I'm now starting the new semester feeling relaxed and refreshed...especially when visiting the Jamba Juice that is so conveniently located in the same building as all of my classes! :)

Now, to finish out my little break before class I'm going to eat my lunch and finish watching Armageddon!

This New Years Eve/New Years day was filled with activities! My wonderful cousin Marlee was in town from Idaho so the Harris/Francom trinity (consisting of me, Marlee, and Bethany) just HAD to get together for a delicious dinner at Citris Grill! This is what resulted...

Later in the evening Marlee and I got together with some friends and had an epic Rock Band 2 showdown...I must say we sounded pretty dang awesome! Then we all went over to our friend David's house to sit in his hot tub while waiting to bring in the new year! We watched the ball drop, exchanged New Years wishes, and finished the evening with one of my all time favorite movies...A Knight's Tale! Love, love, LOVE that movie! Marlee and I then had a much needed sleepover before she departed back to her home in Idaho the next day!

New Years day hosted an awesome sledding adventure with some of Chris's good friends! I couldn't remember the last time I had been sledding so this activity was especially fun for me!

I wish you all a Happy New Year and hope this year brings you nothing but joy!

lions, tigers, and bears...oh my!

This week Bethy and I decided we should FINALLY do what we've been planning for ages and go on a double date! We thought it would be fun to go see the Zoo Lights before they ended because we had never been before! We bundled up in our winter gear and despite the frigid weather we had lots of fun! Here are some pictures...

Me and Chris

The lights were so cute! I would definitely recommend this as a date or with family! So fun!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas season and I also hope you have a Happy New Year!! Pictures and stories of tonight's events will go up shortly!

'tis the season

Christmas is coming and so what does that mean?? PARTIES!! I love parties! They are probably the best thing ever! Last weekend Chris and I and a few friends took a trip up to Oakley for my single's ward Christmas party where we had yummy food, hot chocolate, Christmas stories, and sleigh rides! We even had a visit from the big man himself! Such a fun night!

This week is the last week of dance classes before the Christmas break so that means even more parties!! This year we had pajama parties so I took a couple pictures!

Can I just say that being a dance teacher is totally awesome during the holiday season? I have received so many unexpected gifts! The little girls are so stinking cute and I love all the homemade cards I've gotten! You gotta love little kids!

And what is Christmas without a little dressing up?!

...yes those shorts have jingle bells on them. I know you are jealous.
Merry Christmas!!
