I really want to blog but I don't have much to say

I really want to blog but I don't have much to say so I'll just type randomly until something brilliant and deep comes out.
I have been working SO HARD these past few days on the completion of my master's thesis and I am fairly happy with the result. I had to cut so much of what I had previously written but I wanted to not get too tangental and keep it focused on my topic of regeneration and social message of Hepworth's carvings. I have not heard from my advisor yet but my AMAZING sister got feedback to me in under 24 hours. I greatly appreciate all feedback so if any of you want to read it, just let me know :) It is 50 plus pages and I still need to polish up my intro and conclusion. But my conclusion is more like an epliogue where I discuss where the theme of regeneration has gone along with incorporations of the artist's body since Hepworth (I'm thinking Ana Mendieta and her Silueta series).
What I am looking forward to the most this week is TWILIGHT!!! My dear cousin Jenny has put a big midnight viewing together and Haley, Lesley, and I are going on Thursday night/Friday morning. Thanks Jenny!!!!! I am excited to see it, but as it's own entity rather than a manifestion of the book. They are separate and distinct and that way I won't be dissapointed if/when the director takes artistic license.
Yesterday I went down to Provo to return a load of library books. I've had them for almost a year so I no more renewals. So I took the day to spend with my best friend Kendra. We kidnapped her to BYU campus and then went to lunch at Kneader's. Then we went to her house and watched Casino Royale and just hung out in our comfy clothes. It was so nice to not think for a day!
Lesley got this heartbreaking message on voicemail from our niece Ashley. Apparently she took her daddy's phone and called Auntie Lesley and when her Steve said from the background, "I think they are in Provo today." In her painfully cute voice she innocently questioned, "why?" in such a hurt tone, like we should always be at her beck and call. It's just for the past few Saturdays, she spends a lot of time with us, like she helped us rake leaves in the front yard last week and we usually do her hair and take her to Eat A Burger every Saturday. I LOVE that she LOVES us so much!!! There is no greater joy than having a child's love.
Happy Sunday Guys!! Have a great week.

Good to see you yesterday, thanks for coming down to my neck of the woods.
I'm SO glad that your thesis is mostly done, now my social life won't be so ruined ;).

Now this is the Alli that I miss - the random blogging that doesn't really say anything, but at the same time says a ton about how she is feeling and what is going on. Thanks for coming back to us!
