I'm on a time crunch!

So, Christmas Eve is tomorrow and Megan and I still don't have presents for anyone. This is crazy...actually I'm ahead of schedule from last year! Last year I shopped on Christmas Eve!

This morning I took Dex on a run...and died! I haven't ran/swam in over 2 months. That is so horrible! I already got in trouble for not using the swimming pass he bought me...so it'll have to be a new years resolution and I'll get my butt in the pool! Anyways, we were trying to beat his best time of 14:22.00 for 1.5 miles...and since I didn't really know the loop, Dex cut corners and we got a record time! I was so mad! Now we have to do it again tomorrow! Dang...that's probably good for me though!

Tonight we went to the play "Scrooge" in Sacramento! It was so awesome! Dex was so into it it was adorable! After the play we went back to my grandma's for hot chocolate! :) yumm:) I'm so tired and I have to wake up early to buy Christmas presents for my family! I'm such a procrastinator!

3 days until Christmas!

Today I decided to stay in bed until noon. I have the hardest time getting out of bed when I'm at home! Sadly enough, I have a dentist appointment tomorrow morning at 10am...which will force me out of bed! At around 3:30 Megan and I decided to drive down to Sacramento to go to our favorite jewelery store "Silver Shop". I always feel overwhelmed in there because of the thousands of rings on display! After searching for over an hour we picked some out! Megan and I randomly discovered this little store 2 years ago and have been regular customers since!

One thing I really hate about Folsom is the TRAFFIC! It is horrible!! I always have Megan drive because it stresses me out so much...and I always get lost. She has the most amazing since of direction! I wish I had that gift! Driving stresses me out so much. My future car will definitely have a GPS!

After buying rings we went to Target in Sunrise...very getto. We looked for presents for people but ended up buying ourselves things! I have a huge problem with that! I will go to a store with the goal of buying someone a gift and walk out with something new for myself! I only have 2 more days to buy presents! Luckily I can get friends presents after Christmas! That makes it less stressful!

Oh Dex...

This morning Jessica and I met at Starbucks to catch up. It was so much fun because I haven't seen her in a year! It's funny how swimming ties everyone together. The only people that I still talk to from highschool are friends that I swam with either on the Sierra Marlins or Folsom High School Swim Team.

Dex is so funny. His little comments sometimes drive my parents crazy but Megan and I just laugh :) We had fun with the webcam! He is the happiest little kid I've ever seen!

Later on, Megan squished her fingers in the sliding glass door :( that hurts so bad! I did that when I was in High School! Owwie! Once she iced her fingers for a little bit, we drove to Sunrise and took Dex to Target so he could tell us what he wanted. After looking at every single Star Wars toy in the store we finally left! Tonight Megan, Nicole, Eric and me are going to BJ's for dessert. I need to stop eating so much desserts! I will have to go running tomorrow!!! :)

Back to Cali

Wow I haven't written in a long time! I am currently in Folsom, CA...flew home yesterday and will be here until the 2nd. I finished finals a week ago and got pretty good grades! The week after finals I worked 3 nights in a row, which KILLED me! It has been really cold in Richfield lately! The low was -8...which is sick. I expected it to be warm in Cali I guess, so I didn't pack warm at all...it's been freezing today and started raining! Soooo that means that Utah is going to get slammed!

Yesterday Megan, Dex, Mom & Dad and I went to BJ's. YUM! We ate so much and went home feeling sick and very satisfied.

Yesterday Dex kept talking about a girl named Tiffany...so we told him to write her a letter! After church today I drove Dex over to her house to give her the letter. Before we left, I opened the envelope to read the letter haha. It was soooo cute! It said something like, "Tiffany you are so beautiful and your voice is so lovely..." It was so sweet! Adults should learn from little kids! Girls love being complimented...

We're going to my grandma's house for diner in a little bit. Should be fun =)

It's so weird not having Dallin here right now! He's at a swim meet in Long Beach right now. He just barely got back from Nationals, which was in Seattle. Here are a few relay pics from that meet! I wish I could've been there! In August we're all meeting in Irvine, California to watch my brother swim Nationals (and Michael Phelps too!).
