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.

All of the roomies at Jessie's baby shower

Me and my brothers cheering for our favorite football team at Christmas time!

Some of my very best friends having a lunch celebration during winter break.

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...

church music does not include Celine Dion... sorry!

So... music is like one of my top favorite things about church. Tonight my roommate and I went to our stake music fireside. It was just musical number after musical number... it was absolutely fabulous. Many of my most favorite hymns were performed and I loved it except... Celine Dion performed. Well... Celine Dion did not perform but, one of her song surely was performed at the fireside. I know that the song was titled "The Prayer" so you think prayer equals church. yes and no... it was a little too pop for my taste. Sorry! That is just how I feel. Love the song but not for a church fireside. I looked at my roommate and could barely contain my laughter because I felt so awkward. Oh... it was a moment to be remembered for sure!

Thanksgiving (and Cheesecake Factory) cannot come any sooner...

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited to go home on Tuesday!  Words cannot even express the excitement that will overcome me when I get on that plane and leave this state.  I have not seen my family for over 3 months... which is a very long time for me.  I had a mini breakdown the other day while talking to my mom because I cannot wait to go home.  It really was no big deal, but now she is calling me telling me all about these fun things we are going to do when I get home to make me feel better.  I love my mom.  Today she called and told me that she is going to take me to Cheesecake Factory when she picks me up from the airport.  She also told me not to look too trashy when I get off the plane since we will be going to Cheesecake Factory haha... I love her!
