Disney Sing Along

If you could have seen what I'm about to explain your life would be that much fuller:

Yesterday Eric and I got home in the evening and were just chilling. We happened to be watching and singing along to some Disney songs on YouTube. I went into the kitchen for something and when I came back into the bedroom I saw Eric, naked (from just being done with his shower), sitting on the bed and singing along to the Little Mermaid very intently. It looked like he was captivated by the video and singing very seriously. I cracked up, it was too funny not to be documented (Eric told me I could write about this, so don't worry).

One Year Anniversary

For our first year anniversary (Dec. 20) Eric and I slept in! Well at first I did because Eric snuck out of bed, went to Kneaders and brought back the cinnamon rolls and French toast I was craving. I thought we were going to go there together once we woke up, but Eric decided the surprise breakfast in bed would be better. See how cute he is.
So we ate our breakfast in bed while watching an episode or two of 24 (season 4)- we're so addicted to Jack Bower. We then took a nap until around 2:30pm! We just finished finals week the day before so we had our excuse.
Finally after getting our butts out of bed we did some snowshoeing in S canyon. I got to try out my sweet snow boots I got for my birthday from Eric's parents. While we were there we saw and pet two beautiful malamute dogs. That partly made our day. We want a dog but live in a no dog allowed apartment.
After snowshoeing we decided to go to the nastiest place for dinner. Eric was sporting sweet goodness (refer to the picture at the bottom of this posting) and I was looking rad in my snow clothes so we weren't about to go somewhere fancy. We ate at the steak something (pretty much exactly like the Italian Place). There was so much grease on everything we felt so disgusting. Our waiter looked like he was 12 and the cook had a sweet mustache.
It was a huge dissapointment but so funny. We'll probably always remember our 1st anniversary with the malamute dogs and eating the nasty steak restaurant food.
Eric and I had fun though. We always laugh and have a good time so that's really all that matters.
To conclude the day we snuggled in bed while watching 24 until 2am.

This is "sweet goodness" (the brown velour pants)

DONE

Eric and I are done with finals, done with our majors and have LOVED getting our undergrads at BYU! After my last final this Friday night (Nutrition 100), I checked my score and under the score screen Eric wrote me a cute note: "Andrea my bride, you're done!" I got so excited I yelled for joy outside and ran home, sliding all the way on the fresh snow we got today.

The next step is now our graduate work. Eric just got an interview for the U!! We're so excited and hope that he rocks his interview and gets in. It would be perfect for me to get into the U as well, but if not I still have hope for USN (S. Jordan). This way we'll both be in school in Utah and near family!!

Messiah

If you get the chance to listen to Handel's Messiah live, do it! Eric and I saw a performance of it tonight at the museum of art in Springville, and it was fantastic. In the next life I want to be a soprano singing opera babe.

Last Day of Classes

It was a sad day being the last day of classes :(
This is my last semester as an undergrad, and I finished my career at BYU with Nutrition 100 (highly recommended class), Orthopedic Impariments (okay class but I had a great group), Public Speaking (don't take unless you have to), Bible as Literature (super good), and Chem 107 (terrible lab but I had a killer group). I literally shed a few tears on Eric today I was so sad after I said good-bye to my classmates in Nutrition and my teacher Dr. Richards.
I then went to my Bible Lit class where I presented my final project that Eric helped me so much on. It was actually his idea. The prof really liked it, told me in class that it was A work, and that he'd like to hire me on as one of his research assistants. How 'bout that!
Later this evening I came home after work to find that my loving husband had made me dinner. We then watched an episode of The Office together and Eric went to bed at 8:30pm. The stinker slept until 3pm yesterday and then didn't go to bed until 5am, and then woke back up for classes at 7:30am, and then made me breakfast! Wow, he must love me, or I must be lucky...

Also, as a side note, I am soooooo upset with the weather in Utah this winter. It is Dec. 11 and I was in a t-shirt for most of the day. This is crap weather! I want cold and snow!! It's been snowing so much in ColoRADo and I miss it. We have not even experienced an inch of snow here. The most we've gotten is some wimpy snow flurries. This is what I need for my life to be complete every winter:
