I can't wait for skirts, shorts and sandals. This glimpse of warmth the past few days has been wonderful. However, I was watching the news this morning and it's supposed to snow the rest of the week. Epic fail. Til then, I will dream of sandals.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">When I took interior design, (curse that class) I would often try to image what my future home will look like. I decided I want a shelf in my kitchen with tea pots that I have collected. I actually have a lot so far. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My friend Stetson, who is currently serving an LDS mission in CA, made me the sweetest purple-ish teapot for Christmas. I also got one for my birthday when I was eleven. It's orange. My grandparents just returned from China and brought me an oriental one for graduation. The other day my grandma went through all her old stuff and gave me like six. One of which was my great-grandmothers. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Needless to say, I've got a pretty good collection going on. This funky green one is definitely my fav. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

So coming home is weird, because I'm not actually used to this bedroom. Don't get me wrong, it's a great room, I just need to adjust to it. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have my nice spacious bed. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i930.photobucket.com/albums/ad147/alexishalladay/IMGP5200.jpg?t=1282694532" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i930.photobucket.com/albums/ad147/alexishalladay/IMGP5200.jpg?t=1282694532" width="424" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A lot of room to move around. It's like twice the size of my last two bedrooms. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

My sweet missionary friend who left like… A month ago. Yeah. Well, being the great friend that I am, I have yet to write him a letter. It's just so hard. Especially when I'm really busy and there are so many of my friends on missions now, I make excuses so that I don't have to write ten thousand letters and get carpal tunnel in my right hand. I caved though. I wrote him a letter and mailed him a tie. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Wanna know why?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">My good friend Jessica wood sent me a text saying, "From Elder Brooks: Proverbs 25:25" She said she was instructed to send me that text immediately after reading it. As I found my good ol' scriptures and looked it up, this is what it had to say,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#b45f06;">"As cold water to a thirsty soul, </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#b45f06;">so is good news from a far land."</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I had to laugh. Any missionary who would take the time to send me that scripture definitely deserves a letter. Not that I'm good at letter writing.

</div><div style="text-align: center;">My mom helped me clean and pack my car up to leave for two weeks. What a peach. We had a hard time fitting everything into my little Ford Focus. But somehow we figured it out. It was so full that we couldn't even see through the rear view mirror. It was quite the adventure home, let me tell you. Good thing we dropped most of it off at a friends house in Santaquin. I don't know if I could've made it. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

If so, please don't take it offensively. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Is it bad that I'm always thinking about what my next meal is going to be? I'm not going to lie, I like good food. Corinne and I decided that there was no better way to end the semester than eating at Costa Vida. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">That was a good decision. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I however, can not. If I shower in the morning, I usually have greasy hair by the end of the night. So, if you ever see my hair pulled up in a crazy bun, it means that I was in too big of a hurry to shower, and I had to throw it up. What a shame.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Also,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I kinda miss my little Wyview Apartment. Building 25 served me well. I do not miss how freeeeeeezing it was inside. Holy Hannah Montana I froze my buns off in that place. Permanent cold chills for sure. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
