Pond Skimming!

Last night we went and watched an event here they call Pond Skimming. Basically crazy people dress up in costumes and use either skiis, snowboard or sled and go down a hill and try to make it across this long pool of water. It was pretty funny to watch, but it did get pretty cold.. especially after getting splashed with water. I couldnt imagine how cold it would be after actually going in the water!

Here is one video I took at the pond skimming for this year. There were about 100 people total who went down the hill. Some crashed before even getting to the bottom, some made is halfway across or just barely into the water and some actually made it all the way across. Luckily there were no major injuries. Here are a couple other videos.. These one have better costumes. 

Missionary Letters

So far I have been so lucky to hear from Peter on a regular basis. I love hearing about how he is doing and everything going on. It just makes my week whenever I get a letter, I am just so excited to read what he has to say(: If you are interested take a look at his blog http://elderreese.blogspot.com/ Also he has encouraged me to set up an account on mormon.org (I haven't yet but will soon!) please feel free to take a look at this site if you are interested in learning more about the Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints or if you are a member please join and share your testimony. It is a very useful tool for Missionaries and is a great way to learn more about the church

Valentine's Day!

To start off I went down to the Cocoa Bean Cupcake Shop and saw this cute shirt so I thought it would be nice to wear on Valentine's Day.

Then I made some Valentine's for my roommates and FHE Group. That night for FHE we made homemade pizza and celebrated the Birthday of one of the girls in our group. 

Here are all the Valentine's I received. I got some hearts and a letter from Peter(: I got a card and a few small things from my parents. And Jenny gave me, Rose and Alissa a flower. All in all it was a pretty good day.

MormonAds

So I got a bunch of the MormonAds and copied them together in to small posters and then laminated them to use them as decoration for our dorm! They really make our living room less plain(: I really like them too! They have some good messages.

Here are all the posters you can read some of them(:

Here is our living room with the new posters. Oh and the monkey poster Alissa got(: 

Aunt Fran's Banana Bread

A few weeks ago I bought some bananas but didn't eat them all. I had three left and they had started to go brown so i decided to make Banana Bread(: I used Aunt Fran's banana bread recipe! Its an old family recipe that my Grannee uses. It was pretty good.
