My excuse is that I haven't had internet at my house, which is.....completely.....wretched.
But, good news: I actually have internet now!!! Yay! (Insert rejoicing choir music here)
I am officially a part of the online world again, and it is fabulous!
I have a confession to make: I love Utah, I love Provo, I love my gorgeous view of the mountains, I love my roommates, I love my ward, and my calling, and occasionally my classes, and I even like my job, but the truth is:
I am F-R-E-E-Z-I-N-G!
Pathetic, I know.
Seriously though? I feel like I should be listening to Christmas music if its this cold outside. Maybe I'll just start listening to it now even though its only October. Last year I started towards the middle or end of October sometime(don't tell my mom. Her rule is that if we listen to Christmas music before Thanksgiving, we don't get any turkey. She hasn't caught me yet, but better safe than sorry.[Mom? You didn't see anything])
Last night I finished my homework, put on my sweatpants, hoodie with the hood up, and socks and climbed under my four blankets to go to sleep, and still shivered half of the night. And frankly, I'm scared. Its only October people! How am I going to survive the winter? Although, I must say, the fall colors are amazing. I live in a place with seasons, actual seasons, I'm talking spring, summer, winter, and fall, not just somewhat pleasant sweater weather, hot, hotter, and freaking hot, actual seasons! Its amazing.
There is supposed to be another storm this weekend though, and I heard a rumor that if it gets cold enough, it might snow. Snow. Do you realize what that means??? I'll tell you exactly what that means: Snow=cold, cold=ice, and ice=bad news for me. I have difficulty walking on completely flat surfaces and often trip over nothing and run into things, so ice? And walking a mile to school? Yikes. Plenty of opportunities for humiliation.
Let's talk about something else, this is getting upsetting.
Here we go: The things I miss about Arizona(in no particular order):
- My incredibly comfortable bed
- LJ's
- Actually knowing my way around town
Wow. That's sad, can you tell I'm starving right now?I feel like I'm forgetting a ton, but that's good for now.
Also, Provo is seriously lacking in amazing places to get Mexican food and Pizza, it's very sad. But, to it's credit, there is the most ginormous DI I have ever seen in my life. It's basically amazing. I bought these great shoes there that looked brand new, and they are so comfortable, I wear them practically every day. I've gotten into this really bad habit though, whenever anyone compliments me on anything, before I can stop myself, I tell them what a great deal I got on it at DI. It's so sad, I should totally get paid for how often I advertise that store. Someone says, "cute shoes," and my instant response is: "thanks, I got them for three dollars at DI. It was pretty much the best day ever!"
I think I've avoided my homework long enough, but the point is, besides missing Arizona and everyone, and totally freezing and being terrified for winter to come, and hardly ever sleeping, life is good. I'm unspeakably happy up here. Love you all! Mmwah!

Hooray she updated! It was so good to hear from you on my blog and now reading your post. It makes me miss you even more (which I didn't think was possible). I can't even imagine how cold it must be, I would feel the same as you!! Good luck! I am glad everything is going well for you! Miss you lots!
Love ya!!
By the way,
you said the sweetest things on my blog! I miss ya tons! And can't wait to see you and do all the fun things we used to do.
k alicia...i am SO bringing you mexican food when i come to visit.
i dont know when that will be, but seeing as how i dont have a job, it may be sooner than later!~
oh,
and jared misses you.
we both do.
Oh friend. It will be ok. You just have to remember. There will always be mexican food. There is always some where to get something. When I got the news that mattas shut down, while on my mission, i was a wreck. No one told me there was a little side store still open. Thank goodness. that was the highlight of the transition period after the miss.
Yay! Youre alive!! I was beginning to wonder what happened!
girl, I feel you on the cold thing! Im up in Logan, and we only got like an inch of snow last night (which is already almost gone) but Logan has some crazy and looong winters! -Good thing Russia made me get over my hate of all things snow! *wink* I now kinda like it almost. ....*shudder* but Ice.... thats another story! Im with you on that! me + ice = BAAAAD NEWS!
Anyway....
As for Mexican, you need to go to Springville and try LaCasita.... not 'the best' Mexican food ever, but is the best in Utah county. Practically a family tradition to go there. Been there for ages! I should take you sometime!
What are you doing the weekend of the 25th? Want to try to all meet up? (Candace, you, me, whoever else we can get) and hang out for a bit? :)
Let me know!
Love ya! Glad youre liking it and doing well!
(I apologize for writing a 'novel'!)
