Sleep is overrated anyway...

I had really good intentions to get to bed early tonight. But those intentions didn't exactly manifest themselves as actions, hence this blog post.

I know it's been a while. So where to begin? 

How about with a trip to ihop for free pancakes on National Pancake Day with Angie and Paige? Yeah, that seems like a good place to start. It was super fun having the much-needed catch up time, and hello, FREE PANCAKES. Can't go wrong. Win-win situation. 

On Valentine's Day, I went out with Cole and some of his friends. We went out to dinner and went salsa dancing, followed by some adventures on the streets of Provo. It was such a party! 
Salsa Chocolate anyone? :) 

Since Monday was a holiday, I gladly welcomed the three day weekend. I got to go running with Chris and watch him open his mission call,

(Haha this picture cracks me up.)

went to Trafalga with Justin,
(such a fun night!) 

and PARTYED AND DOMINATED AT THE BYU WINTER OLYMPICS!!!! 

Allow me to explain. Some guys organized a real live Winter Olympics and it was awesome! We divided into 8 teams of 8 and each represented a country. We were team Netherlands (props to me and Cole for making those super sweet bandanas). We competed in sledding relays down snow-covered hills, "dog sledding", human curling (which was brilliant), a running race in the snow, a snowball fight, a biathlon (shooting nerf guns and running), and soccer. We actually tied for first with the Soviet Union, but it was still epic. 
GOLD MEDALISTS! 
 Dog sledding! (Yes, I'm on the sled...)
DOG SLEDDING CHAMPS! 
All the teams 
First place at human curling? What?! 
Biathlon buddies! (It was way harder than it sounds).
The champs! Soviets and Netherlands

Well I have a feeling that 7 AM is going to come much faster than I'd like. So that's about it from here. But remember that life is beautiful, God is so good, and hakuna matata!
