Toppled Tannenbaums

"HHHHHHHHHHHHHHAppy DeCCCCCCEMMbbEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!" 

at least that's how i would imagine trees in B-town and C-ville would say. but seriously. I woke up this morning to a text saying "you should stay home from school. Tolman's trampoline blew into dad's car broke the back window and side window." and i'm like kaawhaaa? so i look out my window and nothing's happening... so i go to the news websites and check the weather and it's all pretty normal.

except for the gale-force winds reported in bountiful. So i say, that i can't miss another french class and it's not that bad down here {cuz it isn't} and then i just get ready and go to school and all is normal except my french teacher brought us a half a cake and some eclairs and cream puffs and my english teacher let us out 20 minutes early.... but then i went to walmart and bought a bunch of preservatives-i-mean-food and other stuff. 

And i find pictures like these on facebook:

{that's the aforementioned car with the windows}

{This is my friend John's driveway}

{This is Cory's driveway}

{This is across the street from my parent's house}

and there's so much more. Semi's down and fuel all over and roofs blown off or smashed by trees and cars smashed and powerlines down. and i know this even though i wasn't there. because i watched this. and you should too. my dad was interviewed in the driveway but i don't think he's been on it yet... or it has and i've just not seen it. 

and that's all. and i'm probably gonna have "roommate bonding" over christmas. that's nice. and christmas-y.

AND! Emily came a visited me and Erchap yesterday! we went to happy sumo and had sushi and then went to blickenstaffs {aka wonderland} and then Em and i went to the mall real fast. yay! much better than a boring night alone. much much. 

and i think that's all.. i'm just praying for those affected in davis county (yeah, i know no one is killed or whatever, it's still a rough situation and not one we're used to.)

that is all.

love, ellen.
