christhmus is hurr. hip hip hooRAY!

So, tis the season.

I've learned I can't truly appreciate the Christmas holidays until finals are DOOOOONE. Over and DONE. Why do teachers feel like it's necessary to torture us like this? It does nothing good for my brain and the stress makes me want to shoot something with a gun. Preferably myself. Not suicidal I promise. :) Only during finals week.

Anyway, on to happier subjects. Like my to do list during Christmas break!
I have so many things I want to do!! But who to do them with? The world may never know.
1. Ice skating
2. Temple Square
3. Sledding
4. Build a snowman
5. EPIC snowball battle
6. Construct a snow fort
7. Enjoy New Year's Eve in St. Geezy with mi familia and familia.... friends.
8. Make Jello snow.... (in memory of Fatty)
9. Build the world's greatest gingerbread house
10. Pajama party in my onesie (childish I know, but I can live in the past right?)

If I can't accomplish these ten things, I'll just have to do them up at UTAH STATE.

I also want to go to a Jazz game. I almost got the son of John Stockton to take me to a Jazz game. Do you know how much fun that would be?! I almost talked Michael into it and then.... one thing led to another... and we didn't go.

Speaking of JOHN STOCKTON. I neeeeeeed to write about my experience.
He comes to the Westminster basketball games to see Michael play and I have wanted to introduce myself to him for about.... a year and a half. So on the amazing night of December the fourth, John Stockton was sitting behind me in the stands and I decided that on that night, I was going to do it.
So the game ends and I'm sitting there talking to some friends and I see Michael Stockton walk over to his parents and my friend pushed me and said "Here's your chance!" So I walk over and as I'm walking my temperature is rising..... My hands start getting clammy.... And I have a ridiculously giddy smile on my face. I walk over and give Michael a hug and told him he had a good game. He then proceeds to leave me standing alone with his parents. (Later he said that he left to see if I could muster up the courage to actually do it). As I'm standing there THE John Stockton starts talking to me. Here's the conversation:
John (we're on a first name basis): What's your name again?
Me: Lindsay Judd, nice to meet you! What's your name (turning to his wife)?
Wife: skfjlfjd (I can't remember her name....)
Me: Oh nice to meet you! I see you guys at every game, you guys are such loyal parents! I'm on the soccer team and my parents wouldn't travel with us... haha
John: Oh it's because Michael is a senior! Can't miss any games! What year are you?
Me: I'm a sophomore, so maybe they'll make it to my senior games.
John: Hopefully!
Me: Well it was great meeting you!
John and Wife: Yes maybe we'll see you again!
Me: For sure! See ya!

Then ended the best conversation of my life. Well.... kinda.

Sorry for the long post but I had to tell the story!
I thought of a great line to end this post with and so it goes:
            I accomplished my mission in life so what's holding you from accomplishing yours??
Smart eh? :)

Sadly I didn't get a picture with John so this is the best we got.
He's up in the left hand corner.... ha

Since I didn't get any pictures with John, here's some pictures of Michael and I!
First time I met Michael Stockton!

Neon DANCE! Best dance ever. 


Again, Michael and I.... ha

It's official. 11/11/11 was a hit. It just happened to be the best day EVER. Here's how it went down. Well... here's the week leading up to it. Wednesday morning we had to stand in line in order to get a camping spot for the BYU vs. USU basketball game. We got it. Yeah... hold the applause please. lucky number 31. Check ins were at 9am. 5pm. 10pm. Someone had to be at every check in and every person in a group had to check in once a day. Also, they did random checks throughout the night so someone had to sleep there. Obviously. It's called camping out. Duh. So Wednesday night, a bunch of us campers hung out and played rugby. It was freezing. I had at least six layers on. Our tent was a two man tent. The first night... was frigid. And I was WIDE awake. So around 4:30am... I walked home. Thursday night was a thousand times better. We hung out with the same people and it was a blast. The trick was to sleep on couch cushions. It was like ten time

Adventures is Out There: England Style Part I.

May 26-27, 2014  Up at 7:30am. Packed and ready to go :) my mom was having a minor heart attack about me leaving. We met Kinsey at some gas station so that we could all drive to the airport together! Once we were at the airport I realized that my mom was being VERY chill compared to Kinsey's mom. Her mom had printed out about a million sheets of information on scams travelers should avoid and everything. Also she told us that the number one rule we HAD to follow was "don't talk to strangers and don't make eye contact when you're walking on the streets." She said it was our homework for the flight to memorize all of the scams as well . We said of course Lisa. Did we actually study it? For about a minute. But then we were distracted by some guy that wouldn't stop talking to us. He said he was good pals with Uchtdorf. So we broke the number one rule and we were still in Salt Lake.  Finally we boarded. Our first flight was from Salt Lake to Seattle. Wasn't

Nervousnessness to its highest degree. oh boy.

I have just returned to the blogging world--it's been a busy break! So here i am.... and i have gained a nervosity (definitely a new word that just came to me; means being nervous beyond the reasonable amount) that i can't get over. You see, i move out to Logan in 11 days. Solely on my own. Completely alone. Just me. and i am FREAKING OUT! I have never been completely alone before, first of all, and second of all I don't know anyone there and third of all I don't have soccer in my life. Without soccer, I don't have immediate friends, I have to actually put myself out there if I want a social life, and I am out of shape. bahhhhhhh and this is only the beginning of my nervosity. I have an entire LIST! List of nervosity: 1. sooooooo alone. 2. no friends. 3. no soccer. 4. no money. 5. no job. 6. i don't know my roommates. 7. i have to share a room with someone. 8. i will now be in a university setting and not a private school one. 9. which means that I
