Woo Hoo!!!!

K, so I'm finally updating my blog so sorry there's so many posts all at once, but I just HAVE to write this last one!  

Being here has been so so much fun!  There's all sorts of fun activities and craziness at the Little Smith household alone, and then add on top of that the fact that I've finally made some friends who're interns like me and the opportunities my boss gives me....I'm loving life!  

First off, the Little Smith's are soooo fabulous for letting me hang out with them so often.  I just love to see them, talk and laugh with Scott and Kris, and play around with the little girls.  We have a grand time!  Plus, it's wonderful to be in a home where there's so much love and faith, and fabulous food.  Thanks you guys!  Love you!  I wish everyone could be together so we could all get together, but I hope you all know I love you too!  

Scott and Kris are Cub Scout leaders and last Saturday was the infamous Pinewood Derby!  They were the judges, and took their job very seriously.  If they didn't there would've been some upset boys....not to mention their fathers!  It was actually pretty mild, but very fun to watch.  Kris has a sweet Pinewood Derby shirt that I wish I got a picture of!  You'll have to ask her to sport it for you if you want to see it I guess.  Yes, she's that intense about it...

                        

 It's winter here, obviously, and has been super cold.  Well, the outside finally looks like it feels...cold complete with snow!!  It's hilarious how everyone out here goes crazy when there's even a chance of snow.  Church was cancelled on Sunday for my whole stake because it snowed like 5 inches on Saturday, and the government has already given excused leave for tomorrow because a huge storm is predicted to start between 10 and noon, 1-2 feet are predicted and the stores are insane!  I just laugh because it's nothing too different for me, but there is the fact that I don't have a car, so Scott's wonderful to watch out for me and give me a ride to his place in case the snow really does get crazy tomorrow.  Even though it makes everyone crazy, isn't it beautiful!!  These are pictures outside my apartment and on my walk to the metro.  

                       

Okay, last but certainly not least....Georgetown played Duke on Saturday and though tickets have been sold out since the beginning of December, on Thursday my boss told me he had an extra ticket and asked if I wanted to go.  I didn't think it'd be even a question and almost jumped out of my skin!!  I actually had a date that afternoon, and my boss had another extra ticket, so the lucky man who happened to ask me that day got to come with me!  Not that I mean he was lucky for going on a date with me, but that he got to go to such a HUGE game!  Georgetown was ranked #7 and Duke #8....it was an incredible game and the President of the United States even showed.  The place was packed!!  Evyone had so much energy, including the half-naked hairy man who danced on the stairs the whole game or the rival students trying to pick fights with one another.  It was quite the experience and I was sooo torn most of the time about who to root for.  My boss was there and is Georgetown through and through.  But it was DUKE!!  Turned out that Duke just got outplayed and the refs made a whole lot of unnecessary calls, so Georgetown won without too much contest, but it was still so much fun to watch them play!  Woo Hoo!!
