what we have been doing in reverse order

January 24: Dave turned the big 2-0! LeBron whooped the Jazz! Everybody else missed the memo to throw up a gang sign for the picture! Our windshield wipers quit working on the interstate during a massive rainstorm!
January 23: Cody took me to a hockey game -- the Idaho Steelheads versus the Utah Grizzlies. Can you guess who represents each team? There was a big fight and I watched the puck faithfully after being reminded by about 10 people that I could get hurt if I didn't.

January 22: The Faith & Scholarship Symposium. The picture above is before I had my breakdown :) Interestingly, my breakdown was not caused by the fact that I was conducting in front of more than 500 people. I have such composure :) Haha! The picture below is half of the people that were there -- I couldn't get the whole ballroom in the shot. For a kind review, check out this kind post.

curly ponytails

Today, my hair was out of control (read: there was no way in heck it was doing anything cute). On hair days like today, I resort to the trusty curly side ponytail -- I learned this hairdo from my cousin Camille & her dancer buddies. Camille is pretty much hilarious. She is sweet, kind, and loves HSM as much as me -- not to mention her killer muscles that I covet. Thinking of Camille made me think about all my other cousins too. I am so glad that I grew up with all of them so close. We are practically siblings . . . none of this cousin stuff :)
Tyler & Rob are my closest cousins age-wise. They made sure I never had a shortage of sporting events to attend. Ty & I spent a year at BYU together. Even though we weren't together all of the time, I cherish some of the things we experienced together. Without Rob, I wouldn't have passed my Independent Study tennis class/graduated from high school. Now they are both married - yay! To people I like - double yay!
Travis is the epitome of fun -- he is so hilarious & good-natured. There is NEVER a dull moment when Trav is around.
Katie cracks me up too. She is just her stinkin' adorable self. When we were both working at the store, I would get really excited to work with her because she (1) would work and (2) was easy to get along with. Savannah is a total fashionista, but there is way more to her than looks :) My personal opinion is that Savannah has the BEST laugh I have ever heard -- it always makes me giggle too. Taylor is TALL!!! I guess from now on I will have to call him my younger cousin instead of my little cousin. Who knew I would end up being the shorty in our fam? And Tanner! He is Mr. Personality. He is so energetic and gives 100% to whatever he does. Tanner will give anything a try -- pomegranates, grapefruit juice, you name it!

I just love my cousins. They are the greatest :) And their Facebook accounts are great for stealing pictures from!
