hello november

okay i'm officially the least consistent blog poster ever.

but... some awesome things about november so far:

1. president monson gave a devotional at BYU today and it was so wonderful! you can watch it here. i have to say though, my favorite part was probably when he quoted the lion king. "look inside yourself, simba. you are more than what you have become."

2. christmas music. sorry all you anti-christmas-music-before-december people, but i'm more of a christmas-is-a-two-month-event type of girl. and can i just say how much i'm loving the new christmas albums by she & him and michael bublé and jbiebs?

3. going home! well, not until mid-december, but we did buy our plane tickets to go home for christmas today! the countdown begins.

4. return of the santa shorts. these little beauties will be making an appearance very soon. aka as soon as i get together with my hall and we watch little women and drink hot chocolate and debate about who should really end up with christian bale. (come on people, we all know it's jo. or me.)

5. registering for classes. over the past few days i've registered for my classes and gotten my schedule all figured out for next semester. i'm especially excited for my art history classes and french 102. j'aime le français.

6. sweater weather. okay i'm not quite ready for the rain/snow/slush that was going on today but i do love crisp chilly fall weather. especially because it means i get to wear sweaters and scarves and boots.

7. halloweekend. okay, not november, but it was fun. i dressed up as rosie the riveter and hit up various halloween parties with my roommates who were dressed as a pirate, hannah montana, and pikachu. aaand i need to steal pictures from my roommate. and get better at actually remembering to use my own camera.

8. also not november, but hall reunion! we all finally, finally got together and i was so happy see the girls from my hall i love so much. i missed these ladies.

happy november. let the christmas season begin!
