Finals week

We've finally finished with school! Just the semester but it's still just so nice to say those words. 

To celebrate the end of finals we threw an Ugly Sweater Party combined with a going away party for some of our friends in the ward. We ended up waiting literally till the last minute to work on our sweaters and the hot glue was barely dry when our first guests showed up!

I didn't have enough colors but it's supposed to be
alien cats setting presents on fire with their laser eyes.
Ugly sweater it is.  

Just after our last guest left we started cleaning up when we heard a strange sound like water running. Our first thought was the washer so we went into the laundry room, but nothing. Then it got even louder so Kellan started upstairs when I suddenly started seeing steam billowing out from under the sink!

The pipe had come undone because the line was too short & hot water was pouring out like a geyser! Kellan burned himself shutting it off but luckily we'd caught it fast enough that only the kitchen had flooded. While it definitely wasn't wanted, we were so lucky it happened while we were in the kitchen and before we left for two weeks. That would have flooded our whole lower floor & been an absolute disaster! 


The next morning we picked up Paige from her cousin's & headed up to Salt Lake to catch the train. We spent the day with Camillia & Jeff while we waited for the train by playing games. We ended up playing one too many rounds of Killer Uno & showed up late to the train station. I tried to keep it positive thinking that our baggage could still get on the same train as us, but sadly we found out our bags wouldn't make it & they would be on the next train out. It was pretty frustrating but everything turned out okay in the end. 

Riding the train is always an interesting experience but it's nice to be able to sit back & relax. California or bust!
