Happy Halloween!

So this one time,

I was a witch.

You wanna know the

best thing about this costume?

I had a real wart on my nose,

and Momma just covered it with eyeliner ;)

No, I'm not dressing up this year.
No, I no longer have a wart on my nose.

But that doesn't mean I'm

not going to stuff my face with loads

of candy and be completely miserable :)

Content With What We Are

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car,

wearing beautifully,tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed,

and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.

I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels

from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a

smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making

sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there

with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed

someone's garden. I want to be there with children's

sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend

on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know

I was really here and that I really lived."

- Marjorie Pay Hinckley

"We women have a lot to learn about simplifying our lives.

We have to decide what is important and

then move along at a pace that is comfortable for us.

We have to develop the maturity to stop trying to prove something.

We have to learn to be content with what we are." - Marjorie Pay Hinckley

Homecoming 2010

Homecoming this year was great!

Or at least the weekend part was :)

Jake and I headed out Thursday night for

Ethan's football game in Hyrum.

He played really good,

and it was a lot of fun to visit with

Aunt Dori and the girls.

Plus, they won!

Friday was a chill, relaxed day.

That afternoon, my friend Phil

called me and asked if I would go

to homecoming with him.

We went and had a lot of fun!

He was able to get two of his

friends to take Kali and Nicole

and we all had a ball!

Here we are all ready for the dance!

Nicole, Matt, Reese, Kali, Phil, Me

Thanks again Phil! It was a blast!

Saturday I got up and joined Amber

and her family at the tabernacle

to watch the parade...and guess who was at

the head of the parade???

Where's Waldo!?

There he is! (4th from the left)

It was Jake!

(second from right)

Pretty handsome don't you think!?

The second I saw them coming

I remembered that Jake had said he

was in the parade, so I whipped

out my camera and got a few shots.

Luckily I was on the right side!

Not the best photos, but oh well.

That afternoon was the football game.

About half way through the second quarter

it started to rain.

By half time, everybody was SOAKED!

I gave up then, and headed back.

Sounds like that was alright, cause

just after that Hawaii scored twice and

that is when the rest of my group left.

I went to the volleyball game that night as well.

They lost in 3...which stunk.

USU was so much better!

They would be neck and neck, and then

New Mexico would get just a couple of points ahead

and stay that way. But oh well!

It just makes me even more excited

for basketball to start...since I know

we will win games there! :)

Fall Break 2010: Woot!!!

Fall Break:...what break? haha

We are given one day for 'fall break'.

Luckily my classes were cancelled Thursday

and I was out early on Wednesday!

So, Wednesday I even sluffed my

last class and went to Preston!

It was for a good cause, so calm down...

Seth had a X-country meet.

He did really good and it was good to see him.

The fun on Friday started that night.

We went to Adam's park and

were throwing a frisbee around

when two girls showed up and asked if we were

there for the "blanket toss".

The only image in my head was

people tossing a blanket around...

why somebody would do this, i don't know...

but we soon learned what it actually was!

As we were leaving, some people

showed up with two sheets.

They let us join them, and it was a ball!

You grab the edges of the sheets (doubling them)

and then somebody jumps on the sheet and we

fling them into the air!

(catching them when they come down of course ;)

who knew you could have so much fun with two sheets? haha

pretty sure this was my facial expression:

haha, but is was so, so, so much fun!

We then came back to the apartment,

and then taught the guys next door

how to breathe fire!

After that we proceeded to make

a fort that we watched a movie in...

well, for ten minutes...and then we decided that

it wasn't that comfortable, haha.

We were watching the movie,

and then found out that a bunch

of people were playing laser tag.

I was completely restless, so I was game!

We got there around midnight, and didn't

get back until two am!

It was pretty much awesome,

cause we were given full reign of the fun park

so we didn't have to stay in the room.

When the night finally ended it

was three am when I crawled into bed!

In my list of "fun nights" that one

definitely made the top!

Saturday was another fun filled day!

Kim came down from ISU,

and I joined up with her and Danielle.

We played mini golf and then ate

at Firehouse!

Thanks for a great night girls!

Then, the night still wasn't over!

Lauren and Sierra had stayed here for

the weekend, but then they left to go to

American Fork that night, so I was all alone!

So,my neighbors Phil and Basia,

watched the new Karate Kid with me.

It wasn't that bad!

(You just can't compare it to the old one)

Overall, it was a great break!

This week is homecoming,

so it has been another adventurous week.

But after all that, it is going to be all business again!

Time to get back to all the homework!

Fun with DI Sweaters!

So my roommates and I went

to the DI a few weeks ago

and bought "ugly sweaters" to take

"roommate family pictures" haha.

We had a lot of fun Sunday afternoon.

We drove up Logan canyon to

take pictures in the fall colors.

Here are a few from our excursion:

Oh how I love my roommates! :)

We've had the best of times,

and I know there are many more to come!
