Black Tuesday

Since everyone is posting about what they did on Valentine's Day (fondly referred to as "Black Whatever-day-of-the-week-it-is" in my family, I figured I would too.

I spent my Valentine's Day on a labor and delivery floor. Pretty appropriate I think. Then I made dinner for the sister missionaries which included heart shaped sugar cookies.

Quite the productive Black Tuesday if you ask me.

There's no place like home

During my almost 4 week break from school (can I get a Hallelujah?!) I've had the most wonderful time. Due to my camera being broken I have very little photographic evidence, but here's a list of some of my favorite things I've done over the break, in no particular order:

• Spent all of my time with family and friends. How glorious.
• Had a get-together with freshman friends

• Went to a mini-Jerusalem reunion
• Had hilarious dating conversations with some Provo friends
• Knitted an infinity scarf that I've wanted to do for ages and two other scarfs that my mom introduced me to
• Slept in every.single.day. (Don't judge me. I was making up for lost sleep from the semester.)
• Celebrated three family birthdays and one friend birthday
• Went to St. George and basked in the warmth
• Played TONS of games
• Went blonde
• Ate ridiculously good food (this deserves a post of its own)
• Went to the movie theater for the first time in 5 months
• Had a girls night out to go shopping
• Played with my cute nieces and nephew

There were other things as well, but if I wrote them all down I'd be here for days. Needless to say, it was a perfect and much-needed break. It's never long enough when I go back home because there are still people I didn't get to see and things I didn't get to do, but I'm so grateful that I was able to do and see as much as I did. There really is no place like home.
