Grandparents

My Grandparents came to visit last Saturday and stayed for four days! I had been waiting for their visit for months! I've been wanting my family to come and visit me since I will officially be gone from home the longest time ever (4 months). Most likely they will never visit until they pick me up on the last day of finals so having my grandparents, which are basically like second parents to me, totally made my week! They stayed with my Uncle, Aunt, and their two little boys. They are the only other family my Grandparents have here in Provo besides me. My Grandparents were going to Savannah, Georgia to see my other cousins perform in an all-state choir concert. Provo was just a pit stop for a few days to catch up on other family members. My Gramps and I never got to play a game of ping-pong so I guess we will have to do that when I go home in April. My Grandma and I got to go shopping and play a TON of Quiddler. I thought I was pretty good when I beat her the first time we played, but then she pretty much dominated every other time. We all got to spend some good quality time together. I'm so glad that I have tons and tons of family here in Provo from both sides and I love it when family comes to visit!!!

Valentine's Day

TODAY IS VALENTINES DAY!!!!

Happy V-Day everyone!!! I've always considered Valentines Day my favorite holiday and to this day, I still do not know why. I was so excited to get a package this week from my family! They kept me included in the family traditions. My Dad always gives all the kids a little box of Russell Stover chocolates and my mom usually gives the kids valentineish socks and a box of little hearts. I got some cute letters from everyone too and my mom also sent me new contacts. Thanks mom!!!
Earlier this week Alina (my roommate) and I got attacked by the secret valentine cupid and got lots of chocolate. Yay!!! Last night I babysat for my cousins Sam (4) and Jer (1.5) while my aunt and uncle went out to an alumni dinner/dance for valentines day. The boys drew pictures on a card for me and gave me a box of truffles. Their pictures were so adorable! Later tonight I get to go to Ada and Logan's house for dinner with all the Cicotte Clan that live out here. I haven't see them for awhile so I'm pretty excited.
The Women's Rugby Team was in Vegas all weekend (none of the new girls went) and I'm excited to hear how they did in their 7's tournament. No practice on Monday because it's a holiday but I will probably still work out so that I don't get out of shape (because I basically already am...)

My First Blog Experience

I'm a little lazy so I was really apprehensive about starting my own blog but I finally did it!!! I hope to actually be able to keep on top of this so that I can keep in touch with family and friends that I don't see as often now that I am at College. I wasn't sure what to put as my blog name but A Little Ray of Sunshine seemed to fit. Sunshine has been a nickname of mine and I also got inspiration from the song "A Little Ray of Sunshine" by the band Axiom. To watch the song go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9QH9bceSZ8
