Joseph Smith Memorial

My family and I had the chance to go to the Joseph Smith Memorial in Sharon, Vermont.

They set up all these pretty Christmas lights, so you were able to drive right through... Which is a HUGE bonus since it was FREEZING.

Winter Wonderland

This was supposed to be a "Let's dare someone else to walk outside in the snow, without any shoes on..." But somehow Erin got conned into doing this with Michelle. Burr!!

The blanket is COMPLETE!

My First Experience ever with the Sewing Machine!!

Well... it only took months for me to finally complete this huge project. But I did it! The goal was to finish it before my parents got to Utah...and time passed...they came and left... My parents got me a sewing machine for an early Birthday present, so I had no excuses now. But I always managed to find them...(**the boyfriend being a big one**) Then being without a job for a month, I had literally "No" excuses now. Then I found a job, and really told myself I HAD to finish this before I started into the real world again. So Here it is....

Not only did I sew all those little jean squares and fabric together, I also tied each corner with green yarn. All the jean squares are actually all my old jeans that I didn't wear or like anymore. It looks good! However, don't look at my borders.. That's where I truly struggled..

If anyone is considering making this kind of blanket.... please rethink your hobbies :)

Utah jazz vs. LA Lakers

Lakers vs. Jazz. It was a really good game... However, Lakers didn't really do so hot... The crowd was booing Kobe, and the Lakers... It was kind of a let down.
