Long Hair

This is how I feel lately. I have until December until I can chop my hair off, but man... I am getting sick of how long it's getting. It's now to the point where it's about 1 1/2 inches from my belt... that's long. I don't really know any styles I can do with it other than down, curly, pony tail, pony tail and braid... and that's about it. I'm not like SUPER good with hair, so I don't really know what to do with this. Does anyone have any ideas of cute hair styles that work with super long hair?

Tucanos

So I forgot to tell you guys about this awesome place. In December, we went to a restaurant named Tucanos. It's in Provo, but it's a Brazilian place. Todd was in heaven! It's the coolest place! It's a buffet, and you can eat whatever you want on the salad bar, but then they have like servers come out to all the table with all different kinds of meats that are SO good! There is a little peg on your table and you have it green if you want them to keep coming or it's red if you want them to stop. They also have this like... grilled pineapple. If you like pineapple it's really good, if you don't, it's ok. Anyway, they are putting one of these in the Gateway mall.. It's amazing if you guys ever get the chance to go, DO IT! It's delicious!

Teaching about Brazil

Earlier this month, Todd and I went to Milford to talk to his sister's third grade class about Brazil. He taught them all about culture and the language and stuff. He's wearing his soccer jersey to show how cool soccer is too. It was pretty fun. We gave them some Guarana. It's a Brazilian drink. If you've never had any, you should definitely try it! Anyway, this is the first year that they haven't asked if it was beer, yes it's beer and we're giving it to a bunch of third graders... Anyway it was fun to watch him teach and he's really funny.

A Prophet Remembered

Last night, I heard the news of our wonderful prophet's passing. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. My initial reaction was complete sadness and shock, then once I started thinking, I knew that he was so happy then to be with his wife. I was then relieved that he had finally been left of that horrible burden, and was now able to spend eternity with her. I was so excited for him! I know it is sad that he has gone, but I know that he is much happier, and will definitely be remembered with reverence.
To hear his wonderful testimony, click here.
Then click on videos and the second video!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

So, I have this class called Experimental Analysis and Behavior. Well it's a great class. I have learned a lot so far, but there is one definite downside to the whole thing. There is a lab with the class, and the lab includes us taking care of, and training pigeons. Now, taking care of consists of weighing, feeding, and cleaning up after the pigeon. Well, to weigh the pigeon, we have to pick it up out of it's cage, and put it in the little box so it can be weighed, and honestly, it is VERY hard for me to do this! I have succeeded once, and it went pretty smoothly. Yesterday, the pigeon tried to fly away because my lab partner freaked out! So, I'm trying really hard not to be freaked out, because we're supposed to be teaching the pigeon to do what we want it to do. Needless to say, I'm struggling!

GREAT SONG!

Last Semester when I was in Group Counseling, my professor shared this song with us. I LOVE this song! I love the message! I listen to it quite often to help me get through those horrible days! I hope you guys enjoy it as well! I know it's not that well known, but it's very good. If you want to actually hear the song, the artist is Alanis Morissette, I know she doesn't always have the best stuff, but this song is definitely worth looking for!


"That I Would Be Good"

that I would be good even if I did nothing
that I would be good even if I got the thumbs down
that I would be good if I got and stayed sick
that I would be good even if I gained ten pounds

that I would be fine even if I went bankrupt
that I would be good if I lost my hair and my youth
that I would be great if I was no longer queen
that I would be grand if I was not all knowing

that I would be loved even when I numb myself
that I would be good even when I am overwhelmed
that I would be loved even when I was fuming
that I would be good even if I was clingy

that I would be good even if I lost sanity
that I would be good
whether with or without you

Nuestro coche nuevo... translation: Our New Car!

This is our new car! It all started, when our old neon was breaking down. We figured that if it was going to cost a lot of money to fix it, it probably would be much more worth it to just buy a new car... and so we did! It's a 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix.. It's beautiful. Todd has named it " The Death Star" For those of you who don't know, that's from Star Wars... It comes fully equipped with heated seats, leather interior, XM radio, and On Star. It only has 66,000 miles on it, which is AWESOME for it being a 2003. We're super excited and we'll finally get credit on my name! WOOT!

I saw this and laughed.. if you need a boost of happiness.. here it is!

Breakdown

This was how big Gibson was when he was delivered. This past weekend, I realized that it's only 5 weeks until my due date...

Back to School

It's so much fun now that school is back in... I feel like this guy... I have so many books to read and so many papers to write.. it's a blast let me tell you! I'm feeling the burn already, but I hear it's good for me! I hope all of you are doing well in your classes as well too!

Jill Stevens

So this is Jill Stevens, She went to SUU. While she attended here, she was Miss SUU. She is probably one of the coolest girls I know. Now she is Miss Utah and is on the TLC's Miss America, Reality Check. I think it's so much fun to watch that show, mostly because she is from SUU and that I've personally met her! I think it's awesome! :) So you guys should watch the show because currently, she's in the top 3 of the 52 women!

by the way...

we went and got family pictures with Todd's family, and this is our individual picture...

Our awesome trip

Well this was me at 4 in the morning , this was the gate that our flight went out of in Vegas airport. We were so stinking excited!
This was the view from the airplane. It was gorgeous. At one point the clouds looked like a huge vat of marshmallow creme!
We stayed at his house.. hehe this is Roger, he was Todd's YM President back in the day. He's basically the funniest guy I know.. other than Todd of course. But he's cool! He was actually a witness for our sealing when we were married. Cool huh?This is at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. That is my parents and me. That place is so cool! If you guys can ever go, DO IT!
Todd is floating in the water...
Us holding our breath in the water...
Us getting attacked by the water...


Todd hanging out with the pirate in Monterey

My mom, me and Todd by the bay... It was so beautiful!

Me with the jellies
Todd is eating the anchovies again!

The Oakland Temple, it had been raining so it looks a little different but it's beautiful!My parents were married here, this is them after 33 years... weird

This is where we saw the hockey game. We were really excited!We were waiting outside of the door. It was cold but we were excited!
This was our seat, the very last row on the very top section. We had a blast!

The big jelly bean was pretty coolThat was a hot car... Todd was in love ;)

that picture behind us is made out of completely Jelly Bellys. It was cool...
Us by the jelly... motorcycle...
This was us at the airport waiting to leave. We were so tired. We didn't get home until 5:30 the next morning... well that's Utah time. But we had a blast!

California, Here we come!

So, this Saturday at 6 in the blessed AM we are flying out of Vegas to Oakland California! We are so stinking excited because we're going to Salinas and to San Francisco and all of the cool places back there. We're going to see a hockey game and to the jelly belly factory. Oh, we're also going to the Oakland temple again. I'm basically stoked! This week has been the longest of my life, but I think that's because I've been working two graves, plus many more hours than normal. And, I don't have a whole lot to do with finals now. So, just remember us this next week, and know that we are finally taking a break and having a good time with no worries!

Christmas Decorating!

This is our apartment. We got home last night and had so much fun! We played Josh Groban's Christmas Album and enjoyed it thoroughly. The first picture, is from our kitchen.. this is obviously with the lights off... most of the pictures are. There there's our tree, and then my favorite board.. on our tree, that says Dear Santa, I can explain. How funny is that? Yeah and then it goes on to us being so happy that we just finished decorating our apartment. Life is good!

Christmas Time is coming up

Hey.. if you could all email me your addresses I would VERY much appreciate it. Just email it to christiemfisher@gmail.com. Thanks guys!

This is how I feel right now.. I'm so glad that all of my professors have decided to put everything due BEFORE thanksgiving!

Todd is funny!

Ok, so last night, Todd needed to go get something out of our car. Well he didn't really have outside clothing on so he went and was pulling clothes out of our dirty clothes basket to find something... Well he found my clothes. LOL First he put on my Wicked T-shirt, which is on him inside out. And then he was just like.. are these my pants? I looked at him and started laughing well.. because obviously they are my pants. In the picture he has on my flip flops, belt and shirt and pants. As you can see... I'm much larger than he is.. Stupid skinny guy! But this shows how I would look if I was his size... I love him... lol Oh and the cake is a cake I made right before halloween.. That's about as festive as we got...and yes, I know the pumpkin is red, we didn't have orange.. sorry

I'm stupid

ok I have the songs on my comp now but I haven't really figured out how to post them. They are a pretty rough draft of them anyway... but I really like them and want you to hear them so if anyone knows how to do that.. let me know!
