The Trip home

My journey home begins tomorrow at 2am on a bus. I have a 5 hour layover, so I will most likely be blogging during that time, telling you about my adventures to the airport. 

I made a picture list of what I want to do for Christmas using pinterest, of course. Here is what I am going to be doing in my spare time in Kansas (besides seeing and enjoying time with family):

I want to create one of these for muh-self

I also want to make one of these. I really like this style.

Saw this and I thought of things to do with the Pman

I HAVE THIS JACKET IN BLUE. Maybe if I wear it with my khaki pants and a white shirt?? They are all at home, so I will bring them back! :)

Fun bokeh 

YES. for Santa.

Also fun Bokeh, I don't know why I haven't tried this yet!

If you want to follow me on pinterest, here is the link! http://pinterest.com/afreeby/ 

My family is going to pick me up from the Airport and then we are going to go see Christmas lights on the plaza in KC or somewhere else in KC and maybe even go see the temple!! :) I am so excited to see my family again!!!

Saturday Night

For our Saturday night date night we went to Pizza Pie Cafe with coupons and then to cheap bowling on campus! It was eventually fun... I had to humble myself and accept that I'm really bad at bowling. Kent was real good!

getting 6 gutters in a row (our names were mamasita and papasita 

Here is the final score of the second game. Our goal was to get to 110 and to get to 80, and we did it!

Here is us at Pizza Pie Cafe!

These are from Wednesday, when we went to Carter's piano recital :)

Beautiful Sunset!

At the show!

It reminded me of my piano recitals. Carter did a great job!!

Kent really wants to learn piano now, maybe I'll teach him...

Happy Finals!!

Apartment Memories

This is our lovely group of ladies in apartment 302 - we have had some pretty fun times :)

Two Reasons

Two Reasons why I uploaded this picture. 

1. I am looking at this in real life right now.

2. I am going to miss it.

(ps she found that sign with her brother one night while on break at home and brought it back to school)

Remember the first ward Christmas party we went to?? Well that was Kent's, and so tonight we went to mine! 

They did the 12 days of Christmas for our ward - which was fun :) 

This is Bishop Rossiter and our apartment. We will miss him (he was just released) Every Sunday after sacrament meeting, he stands up and says "We love you!" It's cute we even made him say it in a video to always remember it:

 This is Sister Larsen. I just love the women of this Church and how sweet and kind they are. She is part of Relief Society one. woo!

This is Kent Buys. He is quite the stud with those fingers.

You like the tights? They're chevron and pretty sweet too. 

I found this AWESOME site where you turn your BLOG into a BOOK. I am seriously thinking about doing that. here is the site: http://blog2print.sharedbook.com/blogworld/printmyblog/index.html

The only problem is the links and videos do not show up, but other than that it's really something neat.

sweeeeeet!

Have a GREAT weekend! I will miss my man who will be in Utah, but I will hopefully get schoolwork and studying DONE. 8 days.

byeeee

One last hooo-rah

            This is not a final post of any sort, but I just feel like I’m giving school my final effort and my last hoorah for the semester. There are finals and quizzes and projects that require a lot of my time. So does my job. But I haven’t been as stressed as past semesters, which is crazy because Kent is here too! :) Someone once told me Kent is probably equivalent to 20 credits, but those are 20 credits of fun and enjoyable times and memories made together. It has really been a wonderful semester for the two of us and we have grown so much. And I wouldn’t trade those credits for anything!

ice cream!

                Last night we tried to surprise each other. I showed up at his interview while he showed up at the end of my class (both at 4:45). We must have taken different routes because we texted each other asking where the other one was and we had switched places. My class got out early so I ran to Zion’s Bank – where he had an interview, and he ran to my photo class (but I got out early). He ran back to Zion’s while I cashed some checks and then we changed something in Kent’s account and traveled over to Jamba Juice in the 1 degree weather. WE GOT THE WHITE GUMMY WITH RASPBERRY! We really enjoyed it because of the taste and also because Kent had a gift card and it was free. While walking back to get ready for Kent’s Christmas ward party, we froze. It was the coldest day of my life. My nose and mouth felt like someone was pinching them. Kent’s ears were falling off from the chills. We had to take 2 breaks on the way home – one at Jimmy Johns, and one in the corner of the stairs to my apartment complex. It was probably the coldest I’d ever been.

                We got through it and made it home, changed and went to a Christmas party for Kent’s ward from Church! The food was DELICIOUS there was Turkey, mashed potatoes, rolls, stuffing, corn, cake and (Kent’s personal favorite) Cranberry sauce! Mmmmmmm I could hear my tummy saying “thank you” – due to a major shift from macaroni, ramen, and cereal.

Helping clean up 

                We were dropped off at my apartment and walked to the Library (still chilly). I did one assignment while kent looked at the free rental DVD’s. We chose this cute Christmas love story with these old people and how they were so different, but fell in love. At the end they started kissing. It was kind of weird and we were like “ehhhhww.” but then we decided we are going to kiss when we are old too. Ha 

I am home again in 11 days - I am SO excited to see my family again!! It's going to be tough because I'll miss my man. a lot. But I can't wait to be in my own home again with those wonderful people. LOVE YOU!!

This is me with finals.. I know I will miss this someday.

Have a great Tuesday!

Up at 5:35am

matchy-matchy

Kent and I got up at 5:35am this morning to register for classes. Our apartment internet is terrible, so we met up on campus. Registration started at 6am and Kent was done getting all his classes by 6:07am. I finally finished at 6:45am and then we went to go get a smoothie and a breakfast sausage thing, which was SO GOOD! ps we got 3 classes together! I'm so excited!! and one of them is a social dance class! :)

We sat there and talked for a while about the future and how he feels about his job. We are both so grateful for the job he has now, but we are going to keep our eyes out for another one. I will be keeping my photography job for next semester.

Registering for classes made me think of my roommates that I had my first semester, and now. They are such lovely ladies!

 These are my wonderful roommates now!

Anna Christine - get it??

Have a wonderful day!
