So yesterday, I had an intermural basketball game for BYU. It was my second, and the first that we actually played... since the last one was a forfeit (they didn't have enough people). Needless to say, I was pretty excited. We won! 57-13 or something like that. And it was so fun... until I got elbowed really really hard in the eye. I have a pretty red eye today... And i think the bruising will set in pretty soon. At least today I can see! Yesterday it was so swollen, people told me I had the face of the girl in Juno... the one that's got the "stink eye". Thanks for the confidence boost guys. I love you too.
Oh well... that's the name of the game... right?

Happy Birthday!
This week was so fun! We celebrated three birthdays in the family.
First, happy birthday to newborn Chloe! She was born on the 19, is very cute, and is doing quite well.
Second, I wanna say happy birthday to my mommy. She's my hero. I love her very much. Her birthday was on the 20. I hear she had a good birthday, spending it with some of her friends.
Lastly, we went to bountiful on Saturday to celebrate my brother-in-law Christopher's birthday. That was exciting. The nieces and nephews came over and we had a huge chocolate cake, ate homemade crownburgers (or normal burgers if you didn't want pastrami on it) and played games!
Happy birthday to everyone in the family!

Catching up
So this has been a fun fun fun couple of months!
First, Adam and I celebrated our first anniversary! One year down, many many more fun and enjoyable years to come :) We celebrated by going to park city. We stayed at a Marriott resourt and had the best view ever! It was so fun. We walked up and down the snowy streets, saw the beautiful lights and Adam bought me a perfect necklace. Its heart shaped, and has rubies and diamonds in it!
Christmas was so fun. We spent the day at Adams parents house in Bountiful. It was quite a different experience, spending christmas with little kids. We got the best game called Dominion (thank you so much Jameson and Becky) and we played it a TON. Its probably our favorite game ever. (don't tell anyone, but we've already bought two expansions to the game) We also had the normal tradition of eating eggs benedict for breakfast! Its so yummy... i wish that it wasn't like 800 calories for one. All in all it was a super fun day.
New Years was about the same as Christmas. We ate a lot, played lots of games and hung out with the williams. We celebrated the new year by watching a James Bond movie, Despicable Me, and Barbie Fashion Show (that one was for Lia but Brayden was excited to watch it too) Adam knocked me head over heels (as always) by giving me the best kiss to bring in the new year.
So now its January 2011. School has started. Of course, as my last semester, its super super busy. But that is ok. I've already had my first midterm. It was for my functional anatomy class. I had to learn all the bones in two weeks and take a midterm on them already! Crazy! I have ANOTHER functional anatomy midterm next week (this one is for the lecture, not the lab). But seriously. I have 9 midterms+ a final in that class alone. Adam has a tough semester this year too. His consists of tons of big projects for his I-Sys program. I admire him. He really works hard.
Another fun thing that happened this month was Jameson and Becky had their baby! We got the chance to go visit them in the hospital. They named her Chloe Elisabeth and she's adorable :) Both mommy and baby are doing great.
Its been a wonderful month and a half. I've learned a lot, had lots of adventures and watched lots of smallville (season one! Just started it) I am looking forward to another eventful couple of weeks!

Don't forget!
This season, everyone should take the time to Elf Yourself!
http://www.elfyourself.com/
It definitely brings a laugh! We loved doing it for the nieces and nephews :)

Christmas time is here!
I think... THINK... FINALLY we are done buying things. I think that we must be amazon's number 1 customer. We've gotten about 20 packages from them in the past 12 days he he he.
but thank goodness its over. i love christmas, but I really get sick of shopping (gasp! Women never get sick of shopping!)
Well I figure I should put a couple more days down.
Day 16
A song that makes you cry-
Well... there are lots for me. If its really meaningful and it comes at the right moment, it will make me cry. The last song that made me cry was actually played in the biggest loser. I can't remember what it was though. ha ha so we'll just skip this one.
Day 17- 10 songs that you would find on shuffle on your ipod.
Well, you'd probably find some
we shot the moon
30 seconds to mars
lady ga ga (im sorry i hear it all the time at the gym, its addictive)
I dont know, upbeat stuff, cuz I'm always exercising to it. If not, you'd probably find some book on tape like harry potter.
Day 18-
Dreams and goals:
Adam wants to finish school and then get a job somewhere in computers. He wants to bulk up more and he wants to be a yoga instructor and a daddy
Jessica wants to be a mommy, a zumba teacher, a personal trainer (with an actual job... cross fingers! we'll hear from anytime fitness soon I think!), organized, and losing a couple pounds here would be nice.
Day 19- Nicknames
Jessica- Jess, Jessie, Jessica and sometimes aunt jessica
Adam gets called Adam man, Williams, and Adam and sometimes uncle adam
Day 20- Pic of your family recently:
I'll include this one in a little bit
Day 21-A recipe.
Well, we love turkey burgers. So here's our recipe (that we stole from the P90X diet book)
8 oz raw turkey
1 t Worcestershire sauce
3 T buttermilk
3-4 T sourdough bread crumbs
1 T dijon mustard
2 T chopped green onions
Mix all together, grill on griddle (or our outside grill. love it) for 8-10 min each side (or until done) add cheese if desired. Dress and place on a bun or lettuce! enjoy!
Day 22- Story behind our blogs name
Well, there is no story actually. I was just looking for a good blog, and I couldn't think of what to call it, and its the first thing that came to mind. Sorry.
So, now I'll tell some stories.
It snowed a couple days ago (cursed rain, it melted it all)
and Adam and I thought it would be fun to go play in it. We had, of course, just finished all our finals and needed a way to celebrate. So we hit the DI, got all our snow gear, and then went to the park close to our house. We made a snowman... or something like that. It started out as a normal snowman, but it turns out we can't make anything normal so our snowman ended up getting a long neck (a wooden post we found nearby) and then a tiny head. It got crazy hair from sticks that were nearby, and eyes from dandelions, and a leaf for a brain, and a stick for a mouth. We named here Amelia the Christmas Witch. Observe.
So thats what you get when you get adam and I together and tell us to make a snowman. Oh she also has a blue bow, and arms made from those electrical fence flags.
We are both very excited for this week! It our anniversary this wednesday and then christmas too! I can't believe its already been a year. It went by so fast. We are loving it all the time :) I couldn't have asked for a better husband!
Merry Christmas everyone!

Last week of classes
So this is the last week of classes. I must admit that I am excited to get out of this semester and into the break! Its almost our one year anniversary! Just a couple more weeks!
Adam is finally done with his InTex week. Let me tell you, I thought it would never end. Every day, I came home to adam and his group studying and working meticulously on their project. I think they spent on average about 10 hours a day doing homework. I am glad that its over and I have my husband back!
This week, not much is going on at the moment. I did really enjoy my stress management class today. We were talking about self-hypnosis and autogenics. We then laid down to practice autogenics. All i remember was my teacher saying something about closing our eyes, relaxing and imagining our arms were heavy. Next thing, it was fifteen minutes later and my teacher was telling us to get up. Best day ever.
I really should catch up on the days i've missed. So here are some.
Day 6: A picture of you and your friends:
Day 7: A Photo that makes you happy
Day 8: A photo that makes you sad
(doesn't really make us sad, in fact it made us laugh. But oh well :) )
Day 9: A Photo You Took:
Adam is getting attacked by a wild pig
Day 10:
Ok so I don't really have a picture from over ten years ago. But I do have one from last year...
Day 11: A Photo of you taken recently:
This was us before the haunted house on 13th! So fun :)
Well thats all i'll post for now. Its zumba time! I must get to the gym!
