Been Awhile!

I'm back! I know it has been FOREVER! I'm sorry. My last post was Thanksgiving so I'll give you an update of life since then. My first semester of college was a success. I was happy to come home though- I was homesick! Christmas was a blast having so many people around and playing games... except the deadly "states" game. You all know the story but basically I fell through the glass table and got cut up, including a huge dagger piece of glass in my bum cheek!! Now I just have a horse shoe shaped scar- Go Broncos! haha.... Anyway! It was a fun holiday season.

Then I went and visited Kelly in Pennsylvania! It was SO SO fun. We partied, I got to watch 2 of her games, we went to NYC (my first time going!) and saw Wicked on Broadway. Lots and lots of fun. New York is awesome!

Then I turned 19!! I feel old. Which to some of you may be weird but its true. My birthday day was a little weird for me. I went on a date in the morning with mom and saw Dear John. It was pretty good. I think hes pretty cute. I had work off too which was great =) Then Denae came over so it was just a huge party! Then the next day mom took me to Wicked. We won the lottery and then switched seats in side so we were basically dead center really close up and it was Kendra!!! I was so happy and it was awesome. She is way better than everyone else. It was a great birthday!

So thats most everything. I'll try and keep up with it better.

Thanksgiving 09'

I had a great Thanksgiving!! I was counting down the days until we drove to Utah. I drove down with some of my neighbors and Devin and Kim picked me up! I spent Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday night with them! It was a lot of fun. I went to a church footbal game Devin had. It was fun ro watch. We went to In N Out which was delicious. I hung out with Kim and Wyatt a lot and got to relax after a lot of stressful college work. Wyatt after those few days LOVED me. He came to me and gave me hugs and kisses when I asked. He is super cute and fun.



Then I spent Monday night, Tuesday night and Wednesday with Chad and Julie! It was fun! Julie and I watched The Hannah Montana Movie together. I had never seen it and I laughed a lot and really enjoyed it! I got to hang out with Clayton, Conner and Bennett a lot and they are tons of fun and really cute too. We of course hung out at the mall and I had 3 Boardwalk bars during the week...delicious. Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband played right by Boardwalk so I got a picture with him. Dustin came over one night and we all watched G.I Joe The Rise of the Cobra. I have to say, I loved it! haha it was cheesy which I love =) and Julie and I went to Wal-Mart before and I got footie pj's that are festive and warm. I feel like a little kid when I wear them and I love that.



THEN Mom and Dad and Landon arrived Tuesday night. I was SO happy to see them. I missed them a lot. It was fun to talk/hug and just be with them. The next day we all hung ot and went to Angie's and Devin's again and Dad got injured in an epic snowball fight. It was everyone against him and he ducked out of the way and hit a stair railing. BUT, he did not get hit by a single snowball. My Dad is cool.

That night we got dinner and went to see NEW MOON. It was fun. I liked it better than the first one. The wolves are totally awesome and Jacob is sooo hot. I'm sorry but his body is pretty amazing. And I actually think he is just attractive everywhere. haha and a pretty dang good actor. The movie was good but it does just make me sad because they are NOWHERE near as good as the books and I always hate that. Edward is pretty dang ugly which hurts me. When he took his shirt off I cringed and begged him to put it back on. Edward and Bella still stink at acting but they did better this time. I am forever faithful to Edward because of the books but I love Jacob in the movie, he's awesome. But overall it was just fun to watch it with my family. I laughed a lot which I love =) and then after we got a delicious boardwalk bar and discussed/debated New Moon.


Then Thursday Friday and Saturday I was at Angie and Pete's. We watched Wolverine and Angels and Demons which were both great and Thanksgiving dinner was delicious obviously. We went to Sandy up to Aunt Tanya and Uncle Scott's house for a pie party. The pie was yummy and it was fun to visit with the cousins. I love Aunt Tanya! Then we woke up at 4 AM for Black Friday. It was soo early and cold and basically not that fun. I got to hang out with all Ang and Pete's kids and they are fun and cute and Mylie was loving me! I basically have the cutest nieces and nephews ever.

Then on Saturday we had a BYU/UTAH game party at Chad and Julie's. BYU won so that was the perfect ending to a great week! Althought the highlight of that party was probably Bennett wanting some attention and so standing right in front of the TV and singing at the top of his lungs for us. Very entertaining. The video is on my facebook if you want to watch it.

Then we drove home and now there are only 2 weeks and I'll be back home!!! So excited! The pictures are not in any particular order. Enjoy!

Ryan Shupe

2 weeks until Christmas!!!!

Halloween 09'!

My roommate Laura was a nerd and I was a pirate!

This was the window of someone in my complex. I loved it! The firs window says "Defy Gravity", the middle says, " Are you a GOOD (in pink) witch or a BAD (in green) witch?", and the last one says, "Something WICKED this way comes". So I had to take apicture =)

Some of my The two on the end are wearing wigs that were awesome. They were Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus haha

We had a trick or treating activity in our complex and so I got some candy =) Then a few of us walked to get icecream and talked at the parlor for hours. It was fun.

That was Friday and Saturday I walked to Craigo's with some people and then hung out with Brett and Emily. We went to get icecream and realized we had no money and so we had to run back home to get money before it closed in 20 minutes. Then we went to Taco Bell to get free tacos and Brett wanted a diet Pepsi. He got one but as we're driving away he said he tasted bad so we went back to get a new one. Then we finally made it home haha and watch "Chocolat" which is Emily's favorite movie. I had never seen it and I really liked it.

It was a fun Halloween!

Carving Pumpkins!

Tonight for FHE we had a geat spiritual lesson and then carved pumpkins!! It was really fun. Carving pumpkins is really really hard though. I knew what I wanted on mine right away and luckily I have an amazing FHE brother, Mark, who is a great atrist! I pulled up the Wicked poster online and he went right to work! I love it!


Glinda =)
Elphaba =)

Mark my hero! Love my pumpkin!

I'm acting out the poster. I'm Glinda whispering in Elphaba's ear =)

I was so excited I kept hovering over his shoulder and taking pictures!

It was really fun! Now, the Haunted Mill tommorow night!

Starving Student

Anybody know anything I could make with these items?

This is all I have in my pantry right now. And I have some butter in the fridge. That's it. Other than the hunger, I'm doing great! =)

Weekend at the Rodeo!

Last weekend there was a Rexburg Rodeo! My cousins Becca and Renee drove up from Provo to hang out for the weekend. It was really fun to see them and my cousin Renee leaves on her mission really soon! I'm actually going to drive up to Sandy to hear her farewell.
So, the rodeo was on Friday. I went with my friend Jordan, and my cousins Danny, Renee and Becca. Then we ate at Applebee's after.
On Sunday My cousin Jenny had us over to her and Adam's house for another cousin dinner. Aunt Shari even came! It was a party. We have an awesome family.

This is a picture of some notes I put up in my dorm kitchen. I was sick of the mess. Hopefully this will work.

These 2 pictures are my battle wounds from a softball game. I slid into home and scored =)






That's it! Oh and today Elder Dallin H. Oaks spoke at a devotional. I had a great seat and I shook his hand afterward. He is really funny and super nice.
