SUPERBOWL

Today was Superbowl Sunday. And guess who was playing?! Arizona Cardinals! Pretty exciting. My roommates and I all went over to Chad's apartment. We ate yummy mexican hotdogs (hotdogs wrapped in bacon), chips and dip, cookies, jello, texas sheet cake, and chippy dippy's. Oh my goodness, such amazing food. Basically I am dead now from all the food. We all had fun watching the game and rooting for the Cardinals. Unfortunately, they lost. Sad day. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

The other part of my week and such consisted of studying, practicing, working, and just hanging out. Nothing exciting went down, pretty much an uneventful week. But one month down for school and three more months to go. Not bad! Well, until next time... I hope all is well with everyone. Miss you all!

Overview of the Past Week

Let's go back in time for a moment, to last Sunday. There was a CES Fireside at the Marriot Center. So all my roommates and I went to go hear President Monson speak! And do you see how close we were?! It was an awesome experience, it was the first time I have ever been in the presence of the prophet. It was pretty much amazing... Pres. Monson gave such a wonderful talk, he really is a prophet of God! And I was very privileged to be in his presence. Here is Amy, me, Holli, and Whit all waiting for the fireside to start. Then on Monday, for FHE we went to the Bean Museum. And no, it is not a museum of different beans, that is just the name of the guy who did something for it or whatever. But the museum is filled with tons of stuffed animals. It was so much fun! Here is my FHE family in front of this huge bear.
And then we saw lions. RAAAR!!!

Tuesday afternoon, Elder Holland gave the talk at the devotional. And holy cow, what a powerful speaker this man is. His talk was amazing. I absolutely loved it! Then on Tuesday night, I met up with Whitney after studio and we watched the men's BYU basketball game! Woohoo!!! It was sooo much fun! It was my first BYU sports game ever. I must admit though, it was pretty exciting. And we got "Lee Cummard" sweat bands. yeah... pretty cool.

ha ha...
The rest of the week was just the usual. School, work, and practicing. I did hang out with my cousins, Blaine and Ginger Pitney, last night. It was good to see them after not seeing them for so long. Other than that, nothing special. Overall, it was a good week for me. Not going to lie. So until next time...

SNOW... everywhere!!!

Alright... so it started snowing Monday around noon till late that evening. Then around 6:30 Tuesday morning, it was snowing again all the way till 8 or so that evening. So much snow. It was fun though. I drove in it. Kinda scary, not going to lie. And I walked in it. I slipped plenty of times, no worries... But I am still alive. Yeah! I have to admit though that the snow is way pretty (just not fun to drive in). Oh well...Me in the snow all decked out. Yeah! My car buried on Tuesday night after all the snow. My poor car.

The huge snowman that someone built in our courtyard.
The huge pile of snow that we climbed. ha ha...

Happy New Year!

Oh what a great time it will be in 2009! ha ha... I am so clever. Well, here I am back in P-Town, with the snow, and the cold. I miss AZ and all the warmth that the sun gives me. Most of all, I just want to be back with my family. Unfortunately, my time in Gilbert was short. I had tons of fun with my family though and friends as well. Soon hopefully I can return. Back in Provo, I have been working and school starts on Monday. Two weeks for winter break is just too short. Blah. I must admit that ASU spoiled me with a month long winter break. Oh well, I am quite excited to get back to orchestra and quartet. What can you do?! I am a MUSIC nerd. And proud of it. Well, hope everyone had a fantastic Holiday and all. Best of Luck in 2009!!!

Happy Holidays!

Happy Christmas! Happy New Year! I hope everyone has had a joyful holiday season. I sure did! I was sooo happy to be home in Arizona!!! I love my home and my family. I was all smiles when I got off the plane and all the way home. I was very, very glad to be with my family. We spent the holidays with my grandparents and the rest of the Chapman familia, and also visited the Ciminski clan. I was so excited to see all of my family. I ate tons of food; delicious, yummy food. And of course opened presents. But my greatest gift was just being home with the family. :) On Christmas Eve, we went and saw the temple lights. And there was no snow. Just the desert. Yeah for Arizona. Gotta love it...

Tis the Season

On a Sunday... I was asked to play for my co-workers ward this past Sunday, and I asked Amy to play with me! We played an arrangement of Silent Night. We played for our own ward (where all of our friends came). Thanks for the support guys! We then headed across campus in the snow to my friends ward. And I am pretty sure that one of the 5 Browns were there visiting. Pretty exciting! (I played for a Brown! AH!) ha ha... But overall, we did fantastic! Amy was great! I love her sooo much! Afterwards, we recieved many compliments. It was good to play again in church, I always enjoy sharing my talents with others. Anyways, we recorded it and you can view it by going to my friends list on the side and clicking on AMY HANSEN.

ha ha... ENJOY! Don't we look so good?! Happy Holidays!

Weekend of Amazing-ness!

Last weekend was my Holiday concert and my familia came up! I was so happy! They came up on Thursday evening and left Sunday morning. It was fun to see my family and hang out with them. I figured out that I went four months, four months, without seeing them. Crazy, right?! They came to my concert on Friday night, it was good to have them come and here me play with the BYU Philharmonic. My lovely parents!

My awesome Grandparents!

And the coolest siblings ever!

I had the best weekend ever, yeah.... no studying got done or anything like that. But I had fun hanging out with my amazing family. LOVE YOU ALL!!!
