Ooops...

i just realized that i forgot to say what i got for the 5th day of christmas.
i got a plate of glazed donuts{they are so far the greatest "golden rings" i have ever received}

so i have been trying to catch the person that is giving me these gifts
i have been told that if i sneak and see them then it will ruin it
but i really really want to know!
i have been out of school this week so i have been waiting to see if i can catch them.
but they came before i woke up on monday, so today i woke up fairly early and checked...
nothing,
and i periodically checked throughout the morning, and found nothing.
after i showered i went to the door and yes i found a cute little gift bag sitting on the door mat with a note. grrrrrr
of course they would come while i was in the shower!
but i like my gift it was a Christmas cd and a reese's christmas tree
this person really seems to know how much i love chocolate :)

but i promise i will find this person...wish me luck

Days six, seven, and eight!

the egg nog is for the sixth day of Christmas "six geese-a-laying"

"seven swans-a-swimming" i got the book the trumpeter swan. i have never read it but it sounds pretty good.

i got chocolate milk for the 8th day of Christmas
"eight maids-a-milking"

4th day of Christmas

on the fourth day of Christmas my best friend gave to me four calling birds.

and i got a Christmas tree ornament{yes i look like a goober} i hope this picture shows how cute this little birdie is. i know that most bird decorations are creepy, but i think this one is cute
and...
this is my first Christmas ornament :)
{i am super excited about it}
not only did i get this bird but the little bag he came in was full of m&m's
{this person must really know me because they are giving me so much chocolate}

On the 3rd day of Christmas my best friend gave to me...french toast??

well not french toast but the ingredients to make french toast. a loaf of bread{and its the good thick cut kind!} and a little thing of cinnamon.

i am not sure i will get around to making the french toast, but it was a very cute idea!
can't wait for day 4..."four calling birds"




{sorry the pictures have been lacking, and of poor quality, but i have lost my camera charger and currently do not have the money to get another so the camera on my laptop will have to do}

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!{in 14 1/2 days}

1st & 2nd day's of Christmas

on monday i came came home from a long day of work to a bucket full of pears.
and note that informed me i will be receiving 12 gifts{for the 12 days of Christmas}
tonight was a bag of dove chocolates yummm!


kind of excited to see what i get tomorrow for "three french hens"

giving thanks

i spent thanksgiving in idaho with my family.
it was so great.
i was very thankful that i made it to idaho after my five hour drive.
i stayed with my grandma and spent the day with her my cousins and
my aunt and uncles. i love thanksgiving getting to spend the whole day with
my family and eating food.

i even participated in black friday this year{it was surprisingly fun}
i went to wal mart with my friends at midnight and we got in line to buy tv's
and had to wait until 5 a.m.
and i discovered that it is impossible to fall asleep on the wal mart floor.
the only thing i bought this year was a couple of cheap movies.
maybe next year i will be more adventurous and go shopping at the mall.

i hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving!!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

i love the snow!!

snow and i have always had a great relationship, it used to get me out of school{which was greatly appreciated, because i usually needed the extra day for my homework}
it made my house and all the houses around look so much better like they should have been in a christmas movie.
snow also helped me get into the christmas spirit i think i t makes the world look so calm, peaceful, and beautiful.
snow and i have never really gotten in a fight before, we have had our spats. like when i am already late for school but have to scrape off the windshield, when the road was slick and i had to avoid hitting a dog so i spun off the road. but snow always has a way of redeeming itself, even though my car went off the road the snow stopped us from hitting anything.

however i fear that if i can not make it to idaho for thanksgiving because the snow has closed the roads, this may be our first actual fight{first fights are usually the worst} i just hope that snow and i can make it through this rough patch and i will safely be able to make it home to my family whom i love and miss.

also i hope all family and friends that are still traveling will make it home to their loved ones
Good Luck

Spreading the Love...

so i normally have to work on sundays, and its lame
but today i finally had one off{yay!!} and so
i went to church, in the 3 months i have lived here
today was only my 3rd sunday going{because of work}
and after sacrament meeting i was waiting in the hallway
for some people i know so that we could go to sunday school.
and as i stood there some guy i don't even know
{actually i had never even seen him before}
came up to me and hugged me...

and as my mom said "at least they noticed you were there instead of
ignoring you"
hmmmmmm
i am still not sure what to think of this odd interaction...

love it

i LOVE this picture. the photographer was amazing.

Nice People

i love nice people.

today i had to work
and when i got off
i was waiting for my friend
kelsey to get off so me her
and yuly could go get fro yo.
a girl came in to eat and she was
in a super cute outfit, since i was
staring and she noticed i told her
i loved her outfit and thought
she looked way cute. she thanked
me and replied that she had
gotten all her clothes from
maurices{maurices is def on of my favs}
and i mention how much i loved shopping
there and how they always have
the cutest clothes.
so as we were leaving she gave us all
a 20% off cuopon!!
it really made my day.

Olive Garden

so i love italian food{i mean seriously who doesn't}
i really like to eat at the olive garden its pretty much the best.
i used to work at the olive garden in idaho falls and that was so much
i loved it the people were awesome and my managers were great!
now that i have moved to salt lake city i now work at the west valley olive garden.
and it is fun i work with some pretty cool people and the managers are good.
i think the best thing about working there is the discount that i get{it basically
rocks my world} and it is only five minutes away from my school!
oh yeah so i am going to everest college it is a tech school in west valley.
i start on september 17 and i couldn't be more excited!
i am doing the medical assisting program. it is eight months long and then i will be

So You Think You Can Dance??

i absolutely completely 100%
love this show. it just has a
way of making me feel good.
even when the dances are about
heartbreak and death just watching
the way they move and tell a story
just makes me feel all warm and
fuzzy inside. also i feel a little jealous
{okk A LOT jealous} i wish i never
would have gave up dance so that
i could express myself...ANYWAYS
this season has been good but my
favorite since last season, right now,
and probably forever will be kayla
and kupono's contemporary dance
"addiction"

The Latest

so for the 4th of july we spent a week in idaho
it was a blast and couldn't have asked for a better
place to be. i got to see all of my friends and family
and spend time with them. it really made me miss
idaho{even the wind} and reminded me how pretty
it is there.
we are also planning a little trip back to idaho{woo hoo}
it is going to be a fast one but very exciting! i have two
cousins getting married on the same day{july 31}
my cousin trenton arnold is marrying macall fogle in
rexburg and my cousin alexandria egbert is marrying
blake hawker in idaho falls. it's going to be a busy day
but i am so excited to be able to be there for both of them
{love you guys!!}

Last week

so this past week i actually did something besides
sit at my parents house and watch t.v.
on tuesday night i went over to cole and alicia's
house. alicia had surgery so i was going to spend
wednesday and thursday helping her with the kids.
first my mom gave me the wrong directions to get there
but i did find it{i just took the long way}
it was so much fun being with my nieces and nephews!
and treyton calls me licia it is so dang funny. we do not
know why he calls me that but he thinks its my name
although the other kids call me chelsi. he even points at
me in pictures and says "licia"
i came back home on thursday and brought jordan with
me so he could spend some time at grandma and grandpa's
we played mini golf, and he went home on saturday.
i picked out a quilt that i am going to make for my bed
i am very excited about it{hopefully it turns out good}
and i think the best part of the weekend was on saturday
when i got a massage{it was an hour of heaven}
and i really needed this massage about two weeks ago
i pulled a muscle in my lower back, and i hurt it again
playing with my nephews. i was in some serious pain so
my dad got me the massage.
and when i was walking out i saw a guy who worked there
and he looks like robert pattinson{seriously! he was way hot}

job applications

job applications are so not my friend
i hate them.
they stress me out and make me all sorts
of nervous. and they get your hopes up
that you will get a job and then they never call,
or they do call and say they want to hire you
and that they will call within the week
but you never hear from them until you call
again and get the came response{sorry about the rant
but that is exactly what happened to me with the job
i thought i was going to have in az} GRRRRRR
this picture{minus the drink} is how i feel about trying to find a job

Camping

this weekend my parents and i went camping
just outside prescott az.
we went up on friday afternoon and set up camp.
saturday was a blast we went into town for the day
there was a car show which had some pretty awesome cars
{including the camero i want} i wish i had pictures but
i left my camera at home{very frustrating}
after the looking at all the cars we just walked
around for a while and it such a cute town
i really liked it.
then my mom and me found some amazing
stores in the atrium mall{which only had 14 stores}
we went in the most fabulous jewelry store
and two little boutiques that we simply loved!
we are already planning a shopping day after i get a job :)
that night our friends tony and wendy spooner
came up for dinner and to stay the night
my dad cooked fried chicken, potatoes, and some really yummy turtle cake
then we played cards and a new game farkle{surprisingly way fun}
today we were coming home and got a flat tire on the trailer
so that was an adventure but my dad got
it fixed and we made it home

One good weekend

this weekend was so much fun!
i have been pretty bummed lately about being
in arizona and not having any friends{tho my parents have been kind enough to hang with me}
well on saturday my parents had invited some of their friends over
we had dinner and watched the suns vs lakers game{unfortunately the suns lost}
these same friends have two daughters one 19 and one 18
they both happened to be visiting this weekend and
invited me to hang out{i was thrilled finally a night away from my parents}
we played rambo and there is a lot more running and wall jumping down here
then there is in sugar city. it was way fun and i have the cuts to prove it :)
after our rambo adventure we had a little movie night
its just so nice to meet knew people
although it makes me miss my friends and idaho that much more
