Weekend Update

I don't have any pictures from this weekend, but it was so fun! I went down to Utah to my sister Heidi's house for the whole weekend. On Friday I watched my niece and nephew while Heidi and Steve went to a play... those kids are so stinkin' cute! Saturday was filled with a ward Christmas breakfast, trying to convince my niece to see Santa (she got close, but wouldn't sit on his lap), going Christmas shopping, and then going to SLC to the Mormon Tabernacle Christmas Concert! We met the rest of my family there, and the concert was amazing. The guest singer was Brian Stokes Mitchell. He is a Broadway singer/actor who has won many awards, and I understand why! He was so fun to listen to. Then there is always a guest narrator. This year it was Edward Hermann. If any of you know me, you know that I was a HUGE fan of the show Gilmore Girls, and this man played Richard (the grandfather) on the show! I was pretty excited to see him there. He read a couple of Christmas passages and the whole show was really good. It really got me into the Christmas mood! This morning, we woke up to about 7 inches of snow, and we had to drive to church. On our way there, my sister was at a stop sign and turned left onto another street. Well, her car did a full 180 spinout on the road! It was kind of scary, especially since we were headed straight for a mailbox. But luckily nothing happened, and we decided to really take our time driving to church! That was definitely our adventure of the day... I wasn't the one driving, but it added to my hatred of driving in the snow. Now I made it back to Pocatello, and it is 4 degrees outside. FREEZING. I only have 2 tests this week, and I am done for the semester! Wish me luck!
