PDA: Public Displays of Affection

I heart BYU... really I do.  Sometimes though... I wonder if I am invisible because people do the strangest things in front of me.  I am sitting in the Cougar Eat... on a Friday at 5:39 p.m. and next to me is a couple.  I am pretty sure they are freshmen.  Boy sits down with girl. Boy starts complaining about everything under the sky.  Girl patiently sits listening trying to be very kind and he continues to get angry with her about their plans for the evening and how is is SO stressed.  They both stand up and separately get their dinner.  Girl returns to the table with her food and bows her head to pray.  Girl is probably not only blessing her food but, also hoping that Boy will stop being mean.  Boy returns with his food and sits down but then asks her to stand up.  Girl stands like an obedient little puppy and they proceed to embrace. They stand by their table of food hugging and rubbing and touching and staring into one another's eyes.  I guess they made up.  Really???  They were SUPER awkward.  I wanted to yell.  Dear Boy and Girl... please don't spread your awkwardness to the world.  It could be contagious.  And... Girl run for the hills.

ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

So... I have some very exciting news.  I am not engaged or pregnant.  Sorry! Those are two wrongs guesses.  I got accepted to the... 

BYU Marriott School of Management!!!!!

(The Business School)

I am extremely excited!  This has been something I have been working toward for awhile and all of my hard work has finally paid off!  Thank goodness!  I am so thankful to a loving Heavenly Father and Savior because without Them I would not have made it through the process alive.  I start the program spring term and am super stoked!  Thanks to all the love and prayers from my family and friends.  They paid off!  xoxo

A very fun-filled fabulous weekend!!!

There were some very exciting things in the life of Danielle this weekend.  I had the opportunity to travel to California this past weekend for one of my very best friends weddings.  I am so happy I was able to be a part of Heather's special day.  Heather Nilsen is now Mrs. Taylor Osborne.  She was the most beautiful bride.  Her and Taylor are so great together and I could not be happier for the both of them.  They are fabulous!  

My old roommate Jessie had her baby on Saturday.  Her name is Bella and she is a doll.  I am in love with her.  I skipped humanities class today to play with the baby.  It was one of those "good, better, best" decisions and I felt pretty good about it.  Jessie and the baby are going back to California for 2 weeks so I had to get my fix.  duh.  There are plenty of pics down below of

 both events.

Well... I went a little picture crazy because weddings and babies... lets be

 honest two of the best things ever!!!

Heather is a Mrs. aaawwww!

the sweet little bridesmaids waiting so patiently 

They are too cute.

seriously... the cutest newborn ever.

she loves to snuggle.

she is SO precious! yep.  i am pretty sure i am auntie dani.  i think it will be ok with Jessie ;)

Yep... Snow Pictures NOT Allowed

Yes, I am just NOW getting back to posting the rest of my many pictures from winter break/December time.  And... yes, I live in Utah and I avoid all pictures of the snow.  This is my third winter in the oh so white Utah and... I am pretty sure that I have never taken a picture on my camera of the snow.  I think i have convinced myself that if I take a picture in the snow then I can't live in denial any more about residing in snow country.  The bottom line is that there will be no pictures of snow on this blog because to me pictures of snow do not exude happiness.

Fun with Jessie...

My beautiful roommate Jessie and I have had some good times this last December.  She has moved out which makes me very sad but, she is still our roommate in our hearts and comes around quite often.  Love her!!!  On December 13th... I think that is the date???  We had her baby shower and later that night I was one of her models for her a school dance/activity things she had. All of the festivities were way fun that day!  Here are some pics of the events...

Here are me, Jessie, and Kassandra at her baby shower.  Christina and Lyndsey made the shower absolutely fabulous!

umm... i cannot get the other pics to post so... they will be coming in another post.  maybe tomorrow when i am not too tired and can actually use correct grammar and punctuation

SNOW

i hate snow. it is the only thing that i will ever say that i hate. well... i actually said that i hated utah today while i was trying to help a friend shovel her car out of the snow but really it is the snow i hate. i don't like utah because i hate the snow. my car is currently buried in the snow. hopefully i will be able to get it out tomorrow but, it could definitely be questionable. i have scrapes and bruises on my hands from trying to shovel snow. california girl trying to shovel snow is really a priceless sight.

YAY for 2009!

me and the blogging world have not been getting along lately because of finals and all the craziness of december with Christmas and new years.  i am so tired that i am using horrible english and grammar.  but... i am here to say that i am going to improve on this blog thing in 2009.  life is very exciting right now and i will soon give a proper update.  and i have one more thing to say/type... i HATE the snow and have no desire to go back to it.  NO desire...
