Ugly Sweaters and Sumo Wrestling

This weekend was crazy!! Friday night we went to an ugly sweater party.....it was way fun! Before the paty we went to the D.I. and picked out some really ugly sweaters. Mine was super small, but definently fits into the ugly category.



As soon as we got home from the party (midnight-ish) we began deep cleaning our house. We had a White Glove clean check the next morning at 8:00am and we didn't know how long it was going to take us. We started off in a jolly holiday mood.....until we realized the extent of cleaning we were getting into. The cleaning list includes jobs like: Defrost Freezer and Wash; Oven Cleaned Inside and Out (Don't Forget The Back); and Tile in Shower Scrubbed so There is No Mold, Soap Scum, or Hard Water Spots. By 3am, I was a zombie. We didn't get to bed until 5:30am. Crazy!! After our check, and three re-do's, we were done, and finally able to sleep.....yesssss.



After much sleep and relaxation, it was SUMO WRESTLING TIME!! It was crazy!! They had real sumo wrestlers from all over the United States and a Mongolian. A few of them had been world champions in years past. Sumo Wrestling doesn't seem very hard, you just try and push the other guy out of the circle...but it's still really intense. Some of the guys were only, like 180 pounds, but there were some that were 600 pounds. It was crazy

My Ugly Sweater.

187 in ugly sweaters! (except for Candi...she forgot hers)
One little kid in the audience really wanted to try wrestling a sumo wrestler. It was so cute!
We bought shirts.
The World Champion Sumo Wrestler!!! He was so nice, and so funny!
Another sumo wrestler....I think he was second place?

Anyway, luv you all, see you in less than a week!

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas....

It's almost December! This makes me very excited because it means only two more weeks of school and then Christmas break! It's also sad though because Megan my roommate is leaving. She is so amazing and we have so much fun together. We are hoping to be roommates again next fall. I'm going to have to get used to a whole new roommate....but it won't be so bad, I'll still have Caiti and Candi here. Here is one of the pictures I'm turning in this week for photography. There is another one, but I have to fix it before I post it. They are both kinda abstract like last weeks picture...but I like them. :)

Color

This weeks photography assignment was all about color…..a nice change after taking black and white all semester. We are finally getting into digital photography which is very exciting. Here are the two pictures I'm turning in today. They were both taken at the Sacramento temple. Enjoy!

Tag :)

I was tagged by my mother.........here are my seven random facts! Enjoy :D

1. I get excited over anything.....seriously. I'm excited just filling out this thing :P

2. I love hand-clapping games!!! My friend Ryan and I started The Hand-Clappers Association Of Woodland. We love learning new ones and can play them for hours. Slide record=12 (if anyone knows how to play this game, you know how much your arms start hurting after #5, we had to practice forever to reach #12. Our goal is to reach #20 someday, but it takes, like, half an hour.)

3. I don't like nuts.

4. This summer I worked for the Yolo County Health Department in the Tobacco Education Program. Some of my duties included: Taking a bunch of my friends to Six Flags, hanging out in Santa Cruz for a week, and Chaperoning a bunch of teenagers on the beach in Sausolito for a week. I loved that job.

5. I own a pair of lucky pants.

6. I once planned on being a Forensic Entomologist. This was probably a result of all the murder mystery novels my mother let me read as a pre-teen. I'm glad I grew out of that stage :)

7. Ever since I was very very little, I have asked for a My Size Barbie for christmas. I still haven't gotten one, but it's on my list!
