Random Happenings in Logan.

Hello there, bloggers [:

It's been a while since I've updated this thing, so I thought I should fill you in on some of the random happenings in Logan. First off, I'd like to introduce the world to Weeder, our new apartment fish. BF (Big Fish) recently passed away and we needed a new little friend for the apartment.

Funny story though, we had two fish... Weeder & Diah. We now only have one, Weeder. Diah is gone. I'll show you the pictures from the incident... & I'll let you figure out the story for yourselves:

Anyways...

Let's see... Kyle has been coming over a lot more. He's so fun to hang out with... especially on Hairbrush Karaoke nights.

My roommates & I were almost all together for dinner one night! I missed us being together so I volunteered to make dinner for the apartment. Everyone stayed, but Nance had a recital to go to or something, I can't remember. We missed her ]:

Hahaa, I dunno why I'm grabbing my shirt? But yeah, this was right before making the meal.

The ingredients...

Some of the finished product... Haha.

Shadie & Mel playing around with chopsticks. Haha, they're so cute.
Lastly, my roommates--minus Nancy.
Yeah, it was fun eating dinner together!

Yeah, so a lot of other really spontaneous things have been happening around Andy Six, but I think the superior event would have to be this:Or this...Maybe this?
Naw, actually... it's this.
SINGLE LADIES?

Haha, goodnight [:

No Fear in Love.

"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made in perfect love. We love him because he first loved us." --1 John 4:18-19.

Love it.

Christmas

Hello everyone! I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas! I know I did [:

I got to spend it with my family out here in Saratoga Springs. It was so much fun--and there was so much food. Here's our little family get together in like, four minutes. Enjoy & Happy Holidays [:

Snow in Happy Valley

My family is definitely in store for a white Christmas this year. Actually, a white Christmas is guaranteed every year in Utah. I used to love snow when I lived at the beach, & I was so excited to see massive amounts of it my first winter out here in the mountains... but honestly, I'm sick of it now, haha. But hey, it is pretty nice--that mountains are the best part.

Today, my mom, brother, & I went outside to shovel the driveway & sidewalk. My hands were freezing! I thought they were going to fall off, haha.

Shoveling can get really tiring; here's my brother relaxing in a pile of snow.

I joined him after a while.
Haha, and another video...

"When everything feels like the movies, yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive."

You calm the storms, and you give me rest.
You hold me in your hands, you won't let me fall.
You steal my heart, and you take my breath away.
Would you take me in? Take me deeper now?
How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
'Cause you're all I want, you're all I need, you're everything...

Everyone deserves to feel loved. A goodmorning note is the perfect way to remind your special someone how much you care. [:

A Little Something About Christmas

I absolutely love the Christmas season. Today just got me pumped up even more for it. After I arrived home from church, I went into my parent's living room & actually took the time to look at some of the decorations my mom put around the house. It's not really a whole lot or anything, but it still brings the Christmas spirit into their home.

One of the best things about Christmas decorations is the tree itself. The colors of the tree, actually, everything about the tree represents something. Here's a little something I found online to describe what each thing stands for:

• The Star: A heavenly signs of prophecy fulfilled long, long ago- The shining hope of mankind.
• The Color Red: The first color of Christmas, symbolizing that Savior's sacrifice for all.
• The Fir Tree: Evergreen- the second color of Christmas shows everlasting light and life. The needles point up to heaven.
• The Bell: Rings out to guide lost sheep back to the fold, signifying that all are precious in His eyes.
• The Candle: A mirror of starlight, reflecting our thanks for the star of Bethlehem.
• The Gift Bow: Tied as we should all be tied together in bonds of goodwill forever.
• The Candy Cane: Represents the shape of the shepherd's crook, used to bring lost lambs back to the fold.
• The Wreath: A symbol of the never ending eternal value of love…having no end.
  

Okay, so the little tree that my parents have set up in their living room really doesn't have all those things that are listed, but I just thought it was cool how each thing represents something that related to the true meaning of Christmas.

Speaking of the "true meaning of Christmas," one of my favorite things to see in people's homes in the Nativity set; you know, with Mary, Joseph, the baby Jesus, the animals, and all the other visitors that came to see the Christ child. Here's the one set up in my parent's house.

Yeah, it's already feeling pretty Christmassy... hah, actually, I don't even think that's a word... but that's what it feels like! Here are just a couple photos of some things around my parent's house.

Christmas plates with snowmen! Haha, cute, right?!
Silverrr bells [:
Real poinsettia flowers. Very holiday-ish.

This is outside my parent's place. Snow! But it's melting ]:
Oh, and I just wanted to throw in the mountains. It's probably the best part about Utah winters [: That photo was actually taken outside of our apartment in Logan!

But yeah, anyways, I love Christmas! And so does my family... here's a little video about things we like best about Christmas [: Enjoy! & Happy holidays.
