temple lights

the temple lights here at the mesa temple are probably one of the most beautiful things i've ever seen. the entire temple grounds are covered in lights and christmas displays. on sundays they even have live christmas music by different choirs and bands and family groups. if you are in the area it is definitely a MUST do.

hockey

last night i went to my first ever hockey game and i had so much fun! i think that hockey is my new favorite sport to watch live, and the price of getting in is just a little more than a movie ticket!

it's the most wonderful time of the year

just the other day i made promises that i would be a better blogger and here i am being a lame blogger. again. but truth be told my life has been lame ever since i made that promise. the past few days have consisted of a lot of coughing, sneezing, sleeping, orange juice drinking and nose blowing. it seems i have caught a cold. oh the joys of winter.
.
hope you are having a healthier week than i am,
kira

is it summer yet?

first of all, i need to apologize. i have been THE WORST blogger ever lately. sorry.
.
secondly, can i just say that i am so over the snow? i have been trying really hard to enjoy it, but commuting to work causes me to spend more time hating rather than embracing. on monday morning i woke up nice and early to a blanket of fresh white snow. because of the blanket of beautiful white snow i spent four hours in the car driving to and from work. four hours! tuesday it was the same story. yesterday i left home extra early because i wasn't sure how long the drive would take me. it took me half and hour, which meant i got to work an hour early. aye aye aye.

okay, enough whining.
.
in other news, i am officially moved into my new house and am loving it. my roommates, alexis, vanessa, kaylene, heather and melissa, are the greatest. i am also adjusted to my new job and am loving it also! the pay is not anywhere close to what i was making in texas, but it is decent for idaho. plus i do get the opportunity to earn commission and i haven't been doing too shabby in that department.
.
so, even though life has been hectic and the snow has been driving me nuts i am managing to squeeze in some fun! i promise that i will make an effort to be a more active blogger!
.
until next time,
kira
