New Hair...Once Again

Ok I was bored so I decided to dye my hair once again. I went back to Black and I like it. Here's a picture, what do you think.So I'm pretty sure that I couldn't be anymore clumsy. I would actually say that I make being clumsy an art. On Wednesday I hurt my knee. Here's what happened...I was running up the stairs of my apartment complex and I tripped and landed on my knee. It got so swollen and the next day it was bruised also. You can see in the picture where it's swollen (the picture actually doesn't show how swollen it is). It's swollen in a line because I landed right on the edge of the stair with the soft part of my knee and our stairs are metal on the edge. Lucky me. As of right now my knee only hurts slightly. And it's not as bruised, probably because I iced it so much.
By request of my mom, I am putting up the video of my Polar Bear Swim. It's actually kind of pathetic how slow I am swimming (although 30 degree water is a good excuse). As you can see, I started before everyone and half of them still swam faster than me...lol

The Hortin's

So every Sunday I go to my Aunt Ozi's house for dinner. This is a picture of me and Ozi. Let me first rave for a few minutes about what a good cook she is. I'm pretty sure that she hasn't made the same thing in the same month (we basically have something new every week) and her cooking is just amazing. Today we had chicken with some delicious sauce on it, twice baked potatoes, salad, asparagus and rolls. Anyone who knows me, knows that am not a vegetable person, but Ozi has converted me. I even ate 6 pieces of asparagus, I never thought that vegetables could taste good...lol. Next, let me say how delicious her rolls are. She makes rolls from scratch and they are so soft and yummy. Everytime I come home, my roomates are like, "did you bring some rolls back." I love having a good meal at least once in the week because as a college student, Ramen Noodles are a staple. Another thing that I love is being around family. It's so nice getting to know my cousins and their children. I have such a great family and I am so lucky that they are close by.

Here's a pic of Tanner (Han's son), Lisa (she picks me up and takes me to Ozi's house), and me.

Polar Bear Swim

Ok so I didn't do the smartest thing on Wednesday. For some reason I thought it would be fun to jump into 20 degree water. So every February my apartment complex and other apartment complexes in Provo (I'm sure they have activities like this in other places too) do something called the Polar Bear swim. It is where people jump into ice cold water and swim a lap. Genius Idea...I know. So I decide to follow the crowd. I was assuming that the water wouldn't be as cold because the weather had been "warming up" to the 40's lately (which is still freezing cold). So I go and sign up and when I jumped into that water it didn't feel terrible, probably because my body was in shock...lol. After about 2 seconds, though, it felt like death. It was the worst thing I have ever done. I could barely breathe the rest of the night and I was sick for like the next 2 days. And what was the reason for me doing this. Did i get my next month's utilities paid for or even a dinner. Nope. I got a T-shirt. I did all of this for a T-shirt that was too big on me cuz they ran out of smalls. At least now I can say that "I took the plunge."
