My friend Briana

So 'bout a month ago I found this: Briana's Blog

 It brought me to tears because it was so nice!  She make's me sound like an awesome person haha.  I need to introduce her!  Briana is one of my dear friends that lives in 'outer darkness'...or so they've dubbed their apartment because nobody ever comes to visit them.  Well not anymore cause you'll occasionally find me there!  Briana is just a sweetheart, and so I must blog about her!  I wish she would blog more, because I truly enjoy reading of the many adventures other people go on...hint hint ;)...And believe me, she has many epic adventures with her roommates: Kelsi, Brittney and Danielle.  

They have been so kind to take me along sometimes! :)  In fact, they all went on an adventure to Salt Lake last night and invited me to come.  I wanted to go so bad! but of course I've needed to be here shoveling tons of snow, and helping with the cows. But that is ok cause we have plenty of time to go again! and it sounds like they have a grand story for me! :)

All of the adventures so far have been truly marvelous and just wouldn't be the same without Briana.  When I do crazy things like climb a snow-covered mountain, dance crazy around a fire, or play the piano forever and ever, she is there and doesn't judge me for how insane I can be!  She has even rode in THE van (blue tarp stuff in the grill, sliding door doesn't work, curtain-like blanket inside to keep heat in the front, smells like a freshly worn pair of coveralls)...now this shows true friendship, teehee.

Ok, now this next fact is just pure awesome: she writes songs...woah.  I am in awe, cause I freaking LOVE music and what she has written is beautiful.  Which reminds me: she along with her roommates wrote a song for me.  It's pretty much the most incredible song ever! and I'm sure if you asked them, they would love to sing it for you ;)  But I absolutely love Briana and her willingness to share her talents.  I love playing games in her apartment, and how they all laugh and enjoy the things we give as a relief society presidency (like these glasses with the pockets of sunshine)

The funnest trip this year to Walmart was with Briana:

Even though I don't like this picture of me, I think it shows our excitement to give Danielle her gift.

Briana is a perfectly awesome blogger, she's just gotta do it more!  But there is one correction that I must make in her last post: She thinks I always go home on the weekend, but this is not true!  I've only gone home twice this semester...that's not even once a month!  I was just always taking off to go to Seth's games in Malad or Marsh Valley, etc. haha, but she has always forgiven me for going away so often.  Now that basketball is over I'll definitely be in Logan more and I hope that we can make the most of this semester!  But if that isn't enough time, I'm lucky enough to have this girl as one of my roommates next year! It is going to be a blast! :)

The break supposedly during "spring"

"Spring" Break so far:

1. Rebuild fence because

dogs have chased cows everywhere.

2. Harness team and feed cows

3. Raise gates.

4. Clean pens.

5. Haul wood to the porch

and 6. Shovel off the roof

...repeat...haha

Mom was up there too

but she couldn't see us.

We all got the giggles after it went.

If you look close, you can see a black

dot on the edge of the house when

it falls, and that is Seth's shoe.

There was SO MUCH SNOW!

There was at least 3 feet all the way across.

Then, on the eaves of the house

there was 4 inches of ice built up

plus the overhang:

It was crazy!

and there's still more snow coming!

Spring: WHERE ARE YOU!?

Most would complain that this

is what they do for Spring Break,

but I'm just happy to not have

homework!

Falling Apart

Literally and figuratively.

Here goes the literal part:

So the day before my birthday this happened.

Gma and Gpa Stoor's entire garage collapsed

from all of the heavy snow.

Here's Megan and Shelby.

Had to haul all the wood and tin out

and then all the snow.

 What used to be the car's

rear view mirror:

That's a whole lotta snow back there

View from the backdoor.

You can see the car's headlight.

Now here goes the figurative part:

Soda lost to Melba tonight. :(

They just couldn't hit shots,

and weren't able to play their best,
hence the falling apart.
The refs were awful.
Melba went to the line 24 times.
Soda: zero....uh huh, you read that right.

Makes for an awful tough loss.

A post about it will come later,

but we play West Side for 3rd place

tomorrow at 11. C'mon Soda!

Let's get it together and take it!
