Christmas with the Cato Familia :)

This year I ony wanted one thing for Christmas.. and that was to talk to my best friend of 5 years.. hes serving his mission in the Spokane Washington area.. That wish was granted.. His family invited me to Christmas dinner so that I would be able to talk to him when he made the infamous call home... It was absolutly amazing.. The first thing I said to him was "you better love me, I got lost in Tulsa on my way here because I missed my exit!!" It was great.. and sad.. :( i teared up when they put him on Speaker Phone when he first called so we could all hear.. I was the "mystery guest" It was a good surprise for him. :) I wasnt able to say anything until I got my "personal time" with him, but it was well worth it. I didnt start crying until we had to hang up, I miss that kid like crazy. But I know he's doing an amazing job! :) Then.. leaving Jenks.. I got lost AGAIN!!! I took an earlier exit than I should have.. ended up in Broken Arrow... then somehow up in Owasso!!! If you know Oklahoma and the Tulsa area at all you know thats INSANE!!! It took me a little over an hour to get back on 412 and head home. It was well worth it though. Even though I missed Christmas with my family and I already ditched them all on Thanksgiving they understood how much this meant to me. Well, some of them, my little cousin Carly was not too happy about it, but eh.. what can ya do? Heres some pictures from that amazing day.. :)

And I would just like to say as a side note... Zac Robinson, the QB for OSU got slammed tonight.. Oregon still sucks... Thanks.. ( no offense Alex..)

Jerkfaces! :(

Sooo... One night someone thought it would be funny to throw water on my car.. then Sprinkles.. yes, I just said sprinkles.. along with rice on top of my car so that it would freeze there.. obviously I didnt find this to be too funny... who drives all the way out to middle of nowhere Perkins Oklahoma to do this?!?!?!?

Land of the Fruits & Nuts :)

The last few weeks have been a little crazy.. school, work, social life.. and saying good-bye to people that have become some good friends. Its apparently the time to serve a mission in our ward.. David Stewart at this moment in time is in the MTC in Provo Utah, preparing to serve his mission in California (hence the land of fruits and nuts saying!) While Logan Dill will enter the MTC in about 9 hours.. to serve in the Ogden Utah mission.. which is insane.. Because he isnt a big fan of Utah.. we've decided that God has a very funny sense of humore.. :) Here's some pictures from the night of their joint going away party!!

Bedlam 2008

As pretty much anyone from Oklahoma could be a witness to, Bedlam is pretty much the most important game of the year!!! And Since I go to OSU for school and am a proud Season Ticket holder.. I was able to attend the game.. and had some awesome seats.. especially since I waited in line from 3-5:30 then waited again once we got into the stadium until 7 for kickoff.. Even though we lost and I froze my butt of it was pretty fun. :) I loved it. And of course I had my camera on hand!! And oh dang did we take some pictures.. ha ha

This video is pretty much the funniest thing ever.. some random people came up and just started playing their CD player and dancing to it.. In case you cant tell its the Applebottom jeans song.. I'm pretty sure that my ringtone on my phone would have played it better!!! but thats just my opinion! :) Well, the week of Finals begins Monday. I only have 3 Finals on M W F.. my Friday final is sooo easy, the teacher is allowing us to have a full page front and back full of notes.. so, needless to say I will be getting a 100 on that one... ha ha.. I'll be getting like a 2 day break then off to work and my class that Im taking over Christmas Break. Media & Society is the name of the class, so it wont be too challenging or anything. Im pretty excited about it though. Things are starting to fall into place with school work and I finally decided to drop the Pre-law part of my major and just do Political Science and Journalism. Im pretty happy with my decision. It opens up more choices for me after Graduation. Which will hopefully be happening in 2010 instead of 2011.. :) Its been an interesting and busy couple of weeks and I get the feeling its only going to get more busy.. I cant wait!!!!!! i especially cant wait for my good friend Matt Lohmeier to get back from Texas. he's been down there since about August doing some Pilot training for the Air Force.. Today is his 27th birthday!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATT!!!! :)

CaNdAcE's BiRtHdAy!!!

Wellllll, My roomate turned 25 on the 29th of November.. and for her birthday the weekend before Thanksgiving I decided to throw her a SuRpRiSe birthday party.. it was a blast.. especially since she didnt really expect anything.. ha ha.. YAY for me!!! It was mainly just a bunch of people from the ward hanging out.. we played Mafia, which was a blast.. :) It was pretty much the funnest night we've all had in a while.. even though Doug is ridiculous when it comes to the game.. oh well, it was a blast.. cant wait for the next time!!! Here's some pictures of the night!!
