Here are some pictures of the Wausau adventures. I had a blast hanging out with friends.

Marla and I had a blast just playing for two days. Thanks Marla...so glad you took off work to play. I am thinking Spring Break could be a blast!!! :)

Quick Post!

I have been in Wausau the past two days. This is the city of my nativity.

Last night, I met some friends for dinner and then headed over to my friend, Jeanette's, house for games and pie. It was way fun.

Marla and I stayed up late last night talking. It is sometimes nice to be up 'til four in the morning. I slept until noon. Marla woke up at two thirty. We had a late breakfast at four this afternoon! We then went sledding and relived our childhood. It was a blast.

It is nice to just hang out and chill(literally...it is Wisconsin after all!).

Pictures to come soon!

"And laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in an inn."

Have you ever noticed that often the best conversations happen in a car. I had this conversation with my nephew, Elijah, yesterday.

E: Auntie, how did Christmas ever become just all about the presents?
Alice: You have noticed that too, huh?
E: Yeah, it seems like people just rush around worrying about buying stuff for people. It is like we have lost the Christ in Christmas!
Alice: I know. Have you noticed that some people even put an 'X' instead of Christ in Christmas.
E: They do?
Alice: Yeah, it is almost like they are even showing how they have taken him out of the holiday when they write it!
E: How did presents even become a part of Christmas?
Alice: (answering with a question) What did the wisemen bring to Jesus?
E: Presents.
Alice: Yep. And the tradition of giving presents comes from that. We give presents to show our love for those close to us. Unfortunately, people have gotten carried away and the commercialism has taken over and we have forgotten the reason for the season!
E: I think that is sad.

And really it is sad. The title of this post comes from Luke 2:7. Jesus' parents knew of their son's divinity, yet it wasn't possible to have Jesus in a proper place, like a mansion. A lowly manger had to do. Most people, who were living at this time, probably experienced the birth of Jesus Christ like any other day. They didn't know the importance of that day! There was no room in the inn for him. I notice, in our day, our hearts have become like that inn. There seems to be no room in our hearts for Christ. We have room for the big dinner and the big pomp for the gift openings, but we forget the babe who changed the world.

I hope you all had a great Christmas full of friends, family, warmth and light! I also hope you had the chance to slow down and remember the reason for the season and didn't only celebrate Xmas! This day is divine and so significant to my life. I know of the divinity of Jesus Christ. I know that he came to earth with a mission to help us draw closer to our Heavenly Father and that he was a true example of how we should live our lives. He lived his life loving and caring for people. He also showed that love through the greatest sacrifice, dying for us! I know he is my savior and that he makes it possible for me to make it back to my Heavenly Father. He lives!! How great it is to be reminded of his birth. I am in awe of the miracle that this even was and I am so thankful for it. May we all be filled with his light and may we all carry that light to those around us. Merry Christmas to you all!!!

P.S. Check out this post my adopted sister wrote about Mary. It is amazing and makes me think and cry: http://ingfamily.blogspot.com/2009/12/christmas-bells-are-ringing.html

Happy Christmas Eve!



I could not pass the opportunity of buying my nephewpuppy a duck for Christmas. Divot has been my friend since he got here. I guess sneaking him snacks and taking him for a walk makes us easy friends. If only real live friends were this easy to make! I will give you snacks and I do love walks...come on people! I saw this duck while shopping with Marla in Wausau, but talked myself out of it. When I went to the store with nephew, Elijah, today I could not walk away from it. I just loved it so much...it actually quacks. So fun. Divot was a very happy puppy after recieving it.

We all joined my mother at her church for the Christmas meeting today. It was very pleasant! We then came home and had a great dinner and opened presents. My mother over bought for me this year! I got some great goods that I am sure you will hear all about when I make some list of all the things I am thankful for. They are fantastic. One of the things is this awesome winter hat with ear flaps. How does my mother know that I was looking for a hat with flaps. She has mother E.S.P!

It was a great day with family. I am surrounded by love and warmth. I have so much to be thankful for! :) Enjoy the fun video of Divot and the pics of the family. We are awesome!(And very humble too!)

Alice's 12 Days of Christmas





You all know the fun song "The Twelve Days of Christmas," here are the things that would be included in my Twelve Days of Christmas:

12 Family members and friends gathered.
11 days of sleeping in.
10 trips up and down the stairs to try and figure out how to get my dad's present working.
9 different restaurants to eat in.
8 pictures of the different foods I ate
7 times driving my seester's VW Beetle
6 people to have buy presents
5 walks with Divot(Andi's(seester)dog)
4 trips to Wausau to visit friends
3 handfuls of chocolate covered pecans
2 new "date" shirts
1 Merry Christmas

I had a hard time writing that list. I hope it was good enough to be enjoyed by you. I hope you are ready for the holiday. My shopping is done but not all the wrapping. We WILL have a white Christmas. It is supposed to snow tomorrow!

Have I mentioned that I hate coats? I miss running around Provo in my sweatshirt. I do have to admit that the pink coat is quite stunning and I am very thankful I brought it because it is COLD!

Those pics are of me and Marla out on the town the other night. It was nostalgic to go back to Sam's Pizza. I love that place. I was a waitress there for about four years. The garlic bread pic will have to suffice because I can't get my phone to send the pizza one. The other pics are from Finnegan's, a popular ice cream place in Wausau. YUM!

Today, I just hung out with the family. My sister is here with my niece, Rebecca. It is fun to have bonding time with them. Oh, Divot, their dog is also here. He is my pal. We went on a great walk today. It was cold but fun. He makes me want to get a dog!

We also met some friends for dinner. It was Taco's at Pat's Tavern. Unfortunately, okay fortunately, we were unable to eat on the patio. Man, those summer memories are still fresh and are missed as well. This place is entirely different in the winter. My fishing buddy, Don, came to eat with us. He is still as hilarious as always. He wanted me to go paint the town red with him, but I didn't have the energy. Funny how the 32 year old doesn't have the energy and the seventy something year old does.

Weird that tomorrow is Christmas Eve. Crazy. Enjoy!

False Advertising.

This post may have a lot to do with push up bras, just to warn you!

My dating dilemma these days is the debate that goes on in my head about how much I should really get "gussied" up and how much I should just be myself. For those of you who don't know me well(I am pretty famous in the blog world so there may be readers who haven't met me but read this fab blog. Btw that was laced with sarcasm!). My typical wardrobe consists of jeans, a t-shirt, tennis shoes and a baseball cap. Usually, this is not considered proper dating attire. So, on the leap years when I actually have a date, I go shopping and buy clothes that aren't typically what I wear. Hence, the dilemma in my head. Am I really showing the guy taking me out what he is really getting? Nope. This is false advertising. Companies can get sued for doing this kind of stuff in their advertising. How am I any different? I guess dating is pretty much all about false advertising. You go out and spend lots of money in order to get to "know" somebody and you really won't know them until you've lived with them for a year or so.(and that was not a plug for living with somebody before marrying them. I am totally opposed to that as well!) Dating is false advertising.

When I was shopping for my newest set of dating clothes on a trip to Las Vegas about a month ago, my good friend, Alyssa, thought I should try wearing a push-up bra. I thought she was crazy and the idea was totally out of my comfort zone, but Alyssa has mad convincing skills and before I knew it I was wearing said bra and trying on shirts. I thought Alyssa was going to burst with excitement while she waited to check out my newly formed chest. I found this kind o humorous that one of my friends really wanted to check me out. When I stepped out of the dressing stall, Alyssa was so excited she had to take a picture of me. That is when I mentioned that I totally thought wearing a push-up was totally false advertising. Seriously, he would think I have this amazing bust, but indeed it really isn't that impressive. Alyssa said that all women do it and that guys really don't care that it is false advertising. I was convinced enough to buy one that day and a week later I bought another one. GO me!

The topic of false advertising came up again in conversation at Burger Friday a few days ago, which was about two hours before my second date with Dave. Anyway, I brought up the fact that I was debating about just wearing a t-shirt and how I thought that by dressing up and getting all "gussied" I was guilty of false advertising and somehow the subject again turned to push-up bras.

Me: I really think that all this stuff I do, is false advertising. I wear nicer clothes and do my hair and make up, and wear these new bras! The Alice guys get on dates is totally not the real Alice.
Janette: Just wear a t-shirt and jeans. Be you.
Me: So, I should also not wear my newly acquired push-up bra either?
(short pause)
Me: See, it is a touchy subject. Seriously, what a guys sees when you are wearing one of those is just not what he really gets.
Jeff: Alice, it is all about presentation. If I want a steak, and it comes on a plain white plate with no decor, it is still a good steak. But if that steak happens to come on a colorful plate, with garnish lettuce it looks a lot better and I am more excited about it. It is still the same steak but I am more excited! Presentation is everything!

So there you have it. Presentation is everything and I wore the bra and a dressier t-shirt and a nice necklace and jeans. The jury is still out on whether date three will happen. Some men have thicker onion shells to peel through. It may take five years before I really know what Dave truly is like. Come on Dave, it is all about presentation...you should be selling yourself at this time! :) Good thing Dave doesn't read this blog!

Home Sweet Home....via Las Vegas!

Morgan, Henry and Derek at Raising Canes.
Spencer and I. We're Buds!
Oliver loves cups on his head. Silly Kid!

Home again, Home again! I have arrived in the booming metropolis of Rhinelander, WI. (Home of the World Championship Ice Fishing Contest.) It is nice to be here. My parents warmly welcomed me at the airport long past their own bedtimes. They really do love me, don't they?

I got to see five of my favorite people as I had a three hour layover in Vegas. The Hageys came and picked me up from the airport and took me to Raising Canes(They have the best chicken fingers on the planet!). It was a fun side adventure. I always forget that I am the aunt figure and that whatever I say and do will be copied by these little boys. Today it was putting cold drinks on their bellies and putting that same cold drink on the baby's head. For some reason, Oliver loved it. It was a very short meeting but it was nice to see them for an hour and have lunch with them. Spencer was very sad when I left and promply started crying when we got to the airport and I was getting out of the van. He kept saying:"I miss you, Alice!" It is good to be loved by little people! Thanks Hageys!

It was a long day of traveling. I was on three different planes today and the total travel time was eleven hours. It is worth it to be here in 18 degree weather and 13 inches of snow. It is a pretty place, from the inside of our house! I am not looking forward to hiking to church tomorrow. Ah, the Northwoods.

Well, it is late and I need to sleep. It is good to be home.

Leaving on A Jet Plane....

It is midnight. I have to be up at 7:20 to get ready to drive to SLC and then fly out. I am tired. I should be sleeping but instead, I am packing!

Today was a good day. It was fun to have a play day at school. The highlight was playing some of the girls from our school at basketball. We beat them and that is what matters right? It was fun to just be on the court and playing with them.

After the kids left, we had and all out marshmallow war. One of the teachers gave each of us a decorated piece of pvc pipe and some mini-marshmallows. These are pretty fun marshmallow shooters. We had a blast hitting each other. I am sure the janitor hated us for it but it sure was a fun thing.

We then went to Red Robin for Burger Friday and it was way fun. I work with amazing people and hanging out with them is totally fun! I got a million hugs today and I can just feel the love I had around me and that is awesome!

I saw the movie The Blindside today and it was amazing. Check the movie blog for the review. It may be a day or so until I do the review though!

I must now go to sleep so I can be a happy traveler tomorrow! :) Cheers!

12/17/09

da da da....

I have no clue what that title means but I put it there anyway. I am beyond tired. Today was a busy day!

The students have been so squirrely the last two days and today was the squirreliest. Crazy kids. I still like them though. In two of my classes, we played Guitar Hero. That was awesome.

I think I am too tired to write.

Tomorrow I will have a busy day too. There is no time to pack for my trip home. I will go to work until 12, then go to lunch at Red Robin(we are having Burger Friday early) and then I will go on a date(woot!), and then I probably should head up to Salt Lake but depending on how late it is, I may just stay here and head up there Saturday morning. It is crazy that I will be heading home so soon. The time has really flown by, which means the time will really fly when I get home too. DANG IT!

Well, I better get my beastly self to bed. Laters.

12/16/09

Practically Thursday...

Which means that tomorrow is practically Friday. Fantastic. Dodgeball Friday is spectacular. I am excited to be this close to Christmas Break. Time is flying and I like!

Today I taught. The funniest thing with students happened after school. The student who likes to spray me with her perfume was in the front office and we were talking. I mentioned to her that she should bring Refugee in on Friday because I have a date but then I remembered that I will be playing basketball as part of our fun last day before break and realized I would probably shower before my date. She then said: "That could be funny. You could just put paper bags over your arms." Yeah...I don't think paper bags would keep the good smell on me. Haha. She is silly.

I got my temporary crown put on the tooth that had the root canal. I sure do love spending money on my mouth...NOT!

Janette and I went to the movie All About Steve. It was mediocre. Kinda funny but kinda stupid all at the same time. We then went back to that cool light display. It is wonderful and makes me smile.

When I got home, I worked out. I love playing football on the Playstation 2 and riding my stationary bike. Perfect distraction from thinking I am actually working out. I then played the drums for Guitar Hero World Tour. So fun.

Now I am off to sleep. You have yourself a wonderful little day!

12/15/09

A Pretty Darn Good Day!!!

Yesterday when I blogged, or maybe that was a day ago,( I am in a time warp people, forgive me, GOSH!)I blogged because I was feeling down and wanted a little pick me up and I actually got that pick me up from re-reading what I wrote and realizing that it wasn't being pessimistic at all and that I really do have some superpowers! I am not being conceited either. I am being the opposite of conceited which is nice to myself. You are supposed to be nice to other people so why not be to yourself, eh?

Well, today was a great day. It seemed to whiz right by. That is a good thing in and of itself. The day did start out with a good meeting...yeah really, A GOOD MEETING! The meeting was followed by welcoming students to school. We do this by standing by the door and actually clapping when each student enters the building. It is like cheering them into the building. I love to see their shocked faces and reactions. Most of them think we are really silly but to some of them this is a major highlight of the day. I like to do it because it actually makes me like kids a lot better. Cheering and clapping for somebody makes you love them more I have found. That is one of my favorite quotes btw "Love them more." Kelly Clarkson has a tattoo of that quote on her wrist. I think it is a wise saying. Sometimes you just need to love people more. I think I know way too much about Kelly Clarkson!

The school day was fun. There was chocolate covered everything in the lunch room. Janette is nice and I am glad she has this great love of chocolate because she shares it with us sometimes!!! She made some amazing brownies a few weeks ago. I loved them!

My Health classes are awesome these days. I really do love them and will miss them when I say goodbye to them come the middle of January. Sigh...semester classes are sad at the end. One student even sprayed me with some awesome perfume. It is called Refugee, if you want to buy me some for Christmas.

Then it was our Christmas party for work. It was pretty much awesome. Not only did I get some fantastic free food but I was also entertained. Our amazing Geography teacher sang while playing the guitar and she pretty much has the voice of an angel and is very talented. We also got to see one of our computer teachers clog with his wife. It was way cute and energetic. Santa also came. I sat on his lap and he asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I thought to myself, while saying "world peace," that I wanted a cute boyfriend. A girl can wish, right? It was fun. I also got to announce the present that everybody got, which is the book "Be the Hero" which is by the Challenge Day people. I also got to announce that Rich and Yvonne Dutra-St. John Dutra(the authors of "Be the Hero" and the creators of Challenge Day) will actually be in our school in March to facilitate this year's Challenge Day. I am so very exited for this because these two people are two of my favorite people on the planet. They are so good at what they do and show love to everybody they meet. They really are inspiring to me!!!! I am so excited.

Then tonight Shule(one of the English teachers) and I went and looked at Christmas lights...there was an amazing display in Orem. It was awesome. I am going to try to upload a video of it. I hope it works!

Some have the ability to climb the side of buildings, some have super-human strength, some have the ability to travel through time and some may even have the ability to fly.

Greetings from Parent Teacher Conferences.

I think I want to write a random blog. Today it is cold. It is currently 6 degrees. Nobody is at Parent Teacher conferences. I have had only 9 parents come in. Is it due to the cold? Maybe they have all gone Christmas shopping? Who knows.

I will eat sushi tomorrow night. I just wanted you all to know. I even called the place to make sure they don't use peanuts while cooking. I think dying on a first date would not be a good first impression.

Do you think rats worry about first impressions? Did you know that for every person that lives in New York City there are about 1,000 rats. I don't think they worry about first impressions because they can dominate at any time. 1,000 to 1 are great odds.

I would bet on Red today, if I were at the roulette table.

Red is a good color for this time of year, thanks to the season. My nose wears that color red lots lately.

My landlord came to my house this morning to tell me to leave my heat at 70 degrees or else. He really didn't threaten me but I do not like when people tell me how to live my life. My friend told me to take attendance for one of my classes and I told her not to tell me how to live my life.

Life is good, isn't?

Well, my creative juices are dwindling. I am way tired. I must now go home in the cold and think about rats and first impressions. I must also not cook with peanuts and enjoy the 6 degree weather. And I will highly enjoy the episode of The Office!

Cheers!

The end of the day comes too quickly sometimes...

I am over tired these days because the end of the day comes much too soon. Like tonight. I was at school for a long period of time and then I did my laundry and then I came home and watched Mercy and now it is well past eleven and I am not in bed.

I am excited that there are only 7 days left of school until break. I fly home a week from Saturday. I am just so excited. I like going home.

I do not remember a whole lot from today. The day kinda flew on by.

I am too tired to blog, so this is all you get and here I go to sleep.

Winter Wonderland!!!

From inside my door.
Looking toward my carport. I am pretty thankful for that little blessing in my life. You can see the old steps to my old apartment. The porch is where I broke my leg a few years ago! What a history I have in this little property!
Looking toward the road.
Fluffyness on the shrubs

I couldn't resist taking these pictures from just outside my front door. The first snow has arrived here in Provo, Utah. I am sure the novelty of snow will wear off in the next few months, but today I am thankful for it and glad to see the snow again. I truly think that without the snow and winter, summer and spring would not be as sweet! There must be opposition in order to enjoy the good and be happy. Hmm....sounds familiar in so many ways.

I just wrote in my journal. Since being a blogger, I have not been a good journal writer. I think that is okay but at the same time there are things I would write in a journal that I would never write on here. For example, you will never hear about the horrific experiences I have had with the dating world. Those thoughts and feelings are just too much for a public sphere. I guess if you really wanted to know all about it, you could call me. I would probably tell you in private! Journals are places where we can write down our most intimate feelings and thoughts; the true core of our souls. I forget sometimes how healing a journal can be. So many times, I have been feeling down at certain times of the year and I go back to my journal and realize that there are natural patterns in my life. Like this time of year, I am usually pretty good and happy and excited because it is so close to a trip home to my kin. But in February and March as winter rolls on, you will see a different Alice. It is good to be able to go back and read how I have been in the past to realize that I am always a survivor even when times are very hard!!! So, I guess what I am saying is that you too should go and buy yourself a little notebook to write in. It is therapeutic. Not that I am saying that you need therapy but I am just letting you know that it can help out in life! I can't tell you how to live though...but I can only encourage.

I am very thankful for my little house today. I am enjoying the warmth as I lounge around. (Lounging is a common theme in my life these days!) I set up my kitchen table to be a little Christmas nook. It is fun to see a little Christmas Tree and some ceramic Santas and a corn cob manger. I do love this time of year!

What else? I don't think there is much...but I want to leave with a little thankful list. I think being thankful helps keep me grounded!

1. My little house
2. Christmas music
3. Christmas decorations
4. A Packer Game on Monday night. It will be nice to be in my pajamas have some fun snacks and watch the game!
5. Prayer. What a gift to be able to communicate with Deity. It clears and brings joy to my soul.
6. Pure white snow. The first snow is always so pretty.
7. Heaters. Glad my house is warm and that my car can be warm later too!
8. Knowing what the real meaning of Christmas is. Having a Savior is an amazing blessing. I am so grateful for his sacrifice to bring peace to my soul!
9. Plane tickets. Less than two weeks and I will be HOME.
10. Awesome Friends. It is good to have a great support group to get through the tough times in life. It is also good to have friends to share in the happy, joyful moments too!!!

That is a good list for today. What are you thankful for? Leave a comment. I know you have a few minutes. Click on the link to comment on the post. It would be nice to hear from you all....I know you come here and read, so why not share with the world what makes you happy and what you are thankful for. I dare you! I double dog dare you!! I triple dog dare you!!! I miss comments.

Flashback Saturday...


I really want to start a weekly tradition of having a flashback day. Basically, that means just putting an old photo on the page and talking about it. This picture is from Spring Break like two years ago. We stopped in Cedar City and hung out with the Bills as they were also going south during that time. It was around Josh's birthday and look how tiny he looks. This was one of many fun nights spent with The Bills! Lots of memories have been made with them.

Today has been one of the laziest days I have had in a long time. I didn't do a whole lot except sit around and watch TV. I did wash some dishes and clean my bathroom but besides that just lounging. I did leave the house once but it was only to go to the grocery store to buy some chocolate. I went in my pajamas that I have been in for more than 24 hours. What a life huh?

I think winter is officially here and that causes some laziness. I need to break out of the bonds of winter one of these days...maybe tomorrow! :)

12/4/09

Bad Blogger

I apologize for being a bad blogger. Bad Alice!

The week has flown by just as time is lately. Not much to report.

Here are things that make me happy right now:
1. Christmas Lights
2. Timer for Christmas lights. I was very glad to have my lights greeting me the other night because I had not seen daylight that day(that is one of many things I hate about winter....the long nights.)
3. Playing Madden 07 while pedaling my exercise bike. It is like I am not even exercising.

I was at a conference today for school. It is a way cool program that I hope to implement in my Leadership Classes. I get to go again tomorrow. It was nice of my principal to send me there, even if on short notice. I have liked not being at class. Don't tell anybody, it is a secret.

I must go sleep. It is much too late.
