Parent's Week!

Us again!!

Em and Me at our Ward Halloween Party!

This last weekend, Mom was able to come and stay with me for Parent's Weekend at BYU. I was so happy that she could come!!! We did so much stuff. We were able to go to Dallin's wedding on Friday (which means I got to skip work and class) and Elder Bednar sealed them, how exciting!! I got to sit near him at the luncheon too, it was pretty cool!! That night Jordan, Mom and me went to the Blue-au and got to see Living Legends perform and eat pretty good food. On Saturday Mom had the graciousness to wake me up absurdly early to run to the store and then to high-tail it up to the Tailgate Party with Vocal Point, donuts and hot chocolate. Then we went to the game and although we won, it was still disappointing! After that, since Mom and Jordan love Italian so much, we went to Gloria's Little Italy and they absolutely loved it!! It is so good!! We played games that night with my roommates, Sister Mitchell and Melissa's finacee, Justin. It was a lot of fun playing Taboo and getting to know everyone. On Sunday we went to my ward and then went to Aunt Colleen's and played with the kids. The next morning Mom had to go, and I was sad to have her leave, although I do love having my bed to myself again. Thanks Mom for coming!!! I love you!!!!

Happy Halloween!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

My FHE group: Me, Russ, Dan, Abbie, Em, Quin
Me as an Evil Fairy!!
Em as a Gypsy!Trying to be serious (like usual) without it working (like usual).

We knew that it was a little early to start dressing up for Halloween, but we have so many other Halloween ideas, that it was the only time that it worked. So, here we are, all crazy like we normally are, and having a blast!! We played Halloween Bingo, also known as Scary, and we made Halloween sugar cookies and decorated them and watched Hocus Pocus. I forgot how much I LOVE that movie! Anyways, as you can see, life is lots of fun, and I'm trying to make the most of it. I hope that you all like my costume as an Evil Fairy. I was going to go with a Good Fairy, but I have more black then white, so it's just the way it turned out. And don't you just love my hair!! I don't think I have ever had so much hairspray in it in my life, but it worked! I wanted it as poofy and crazy as possible. Man, I love Halloween!!

Finally something!!

Well, I finally have something to write about on my blog!! I was able to go to the Conference Center this last weekend for Conference with my friends from my ward. I had an amazing time and I feel so spiritually uplifted. I absolutely love the gospel and how it changes my life!! It was truly a wonderful Conference, I'll admit I was crying most of the time. Then a few weeks ago was my friend, Craig's, birthday, so Emily and I made him some cupcakes and apparently they were pretty good. We were too full on icing to actually eat one!! Then last night was the second day of Homecoming Week for BYU, so we went and hiked the Y. I hate that hike, but I made it to the top, so that's all that counts and we were able to light the Y. Overall, I've been having a great time at college, and the schooling isn't going too bad either. I'm actually doing really well, so let's hope that it keeps up!!

BYU vs. UCLA!!

So this last saturday was the first game of the 2008 season that Em and I were able to go to. So what do we do? We go ALL out!!! We are terrifying don't you think? And we dominated the game 59-0!!!! Go Cougars!!!

Scary!!

Amazing Game!!!

California and Las Vegas!!

Well, this was The Trip!! The pictures aren't in order because it is way to hard to straighten them up, but we had the best time of our lives!! The trip was a little long and way hot, but we made it!! It's hard to say everything that we did, so I'll try to explain with the pictures. But California was a blast and Vegas was amazing!!

This is all of us at Hoover Dam standing in 2 places at once. (Arizona and Nevada)
The Memorial to the builders. They say it's lucky to touch the feet.
The chandeliere at the Bellagio of blown glass. It is over $1 million!!
All the lights!
The fountain!! I think the best thing about Vegas!!
At the wedding! Aren't we beautiful!
San Deigo Temple. I understand why everyone wants to get married there now.
Us at the luncheon after the wedding.
Kira's parent, Cory and Heidi. They were amazing!!
The reception. It was funny, I had to tie chair ties again.
Magic Mountain. Enough said.

This one is just like the Titan at home.
Best ride ever!! It is literally like flying because you ride it looking at the ground.
All hot and sweaty at the end of the day.
At the pier on the beach!

China Town, so fun!!
Rose garden at USC.
It was cool to see so much stuff that I have only heard about.

Grauman's Chinese Theater. I will say that they had tiny feet and hands back in the day.
It wasn't as dirty as everyone said.
Talk about ridiculous!! Ever car was a Lexus, Audi, BMW or Mercedes.
LA Temple which was closed for renovations.
Em and me at the beach!

Everything was so amazing. I am so glad I was able to go on the trip. But now I can't wait to go on my next one!!

The Last Weeks of Summer!!

Well, it has been quite a long time, but if you saw everything I was doing, you would understand why I haven't blogged in such a long time. These pictures of our camping trip that we (Adam, Craig, Kyle, Justin, Melissa, Emily and me) took up Alpine Loop. It was the most uncomfortable sleep ever, but at the same time, one of the best nights of the summer!! We had to leave kind of late because everyone had to get off of work so our spot wasn't the best, but we made the best of it. We cooked our food over the fire and played games and talked almost all night long. We froze to death and woke up with frost on our sleeping bags, but still, I don't think I have laughed so much in my life!!

Adam showing that he and I have the same PJs, which are Dr. Pepper ones.
This is Emily and I in the morning, I think we look pretty good considering no one got sleep.
These are the rocks that we tried to sleep on. Now you know why no one really slept.
Our 'funny' picture the next morning.

This is me after we helped our guy friends paint their apartment. They chose the blue, I tried to get them to go lighter, and being the interior designer you'd think they would listen to me, but they didn't and now their apartment looks like it needs rubber duckies, but what can you do??

These are my new friends Sean and his sister Alyse.

Girl's Night!!!

So, lately Emily and I have come to realize that since we started hanging out with our new friends, all of which happen to be guys, we have turned into one of them! We spend our time playing frisbee, Super Mario Smash Brothers, Rock Band and watching action films all the time. Our meat intake has gone up, I'm sure, and we laugh about the dumbest things now. So, we decided that it was all getting a little out of hand. We had lost our femine side, so we said that we were going to have a Girl's Night! Everything chickie and giggly! So we got our couches together, got our foot bath, facial masks and pedicure/manicure sets and made brownies. We even watched Hairspray and The Princess Bride. I think the best part though...that we got the guys to come over and do it too. Well, some of them. Adam and Jordan stayed the whole night and our friend Craig stayed as long as he could stand it, but it was a lot of fun (as you can tell by the pictures)!! Anyways, now that it's over I am happy to go back to being "one of the guys." In some ways it is a lot more fun!! By the way, the masks worked really well!!
