My Weekend

Stuck in bed sick.

Bring on the sleep and movies!

Home at last. It's been way too long!

Over the Hill

So my dad is pretty much one of the most amazing guys out there. He always has a listening ear and gives me the best advice. I love him so much and I am so grateful that I was given the opportunity to come back home and celebrate the day with him. Love ya pops!

The Weekend

On Friday my family and I went to see the Brigham City Temple for the Open House.

The temple was absolutely breathtaking.

On Saturday the family and I hiked to the wind caves.

And on Sunday I finally made my roommates cookies

 (still trying to figure out how the oven works so they look funny, but they were good). 

Labor Day

Morgan, Haley, and I decided to hike to the wind caves. It's one of my favorite hikes in the Logan area. I had a lot of fun with them and I love how cute Morgan is for a hike. Makeup, hair, earrings- the whole thing. Haley and I just throw on a t-shirt and pants. 

And my roommate came back today. It's been 5 days!!! (she could not believe it either.) Talk about an extra long weekend. I'm so happy that she's back and as you can tell we are quite weird. It's what you get when you have known each other for as long as we have.

Cabin Getaway

Had a wonderful weekend of relaxing at my cabin. That couch right there is where I spent most of my time reading and writing in my journal.  It was a wonderful weekend with my family and this coming weekend it's Logan!

Summer Sleepover

One of the best things is having a sleepover with your best friends. Staying up late and talking about boys, college, past events in our friendship, the dreams we had the night before, and even playing Truth or Dare (but without the dare part). I am a lucky duck for having Audrey and Taylor in my life.

The Farewell

Michael gave his farewell talk yesterday and it is starting to hit that he is leaving. All I can say is that Mexico is gaining a great guy and us in the USA are going to miss him.

But it's not goodbye yet, we still have 10 more days (and wow, that is sooner than I realized) to be with him. We are going to miss this fellow. 

Welcome Home Pioneer Brother

Blake is home from his pioneer trek. 

Welcome Home My Brother!!!

Review of the Best Weekend

I can't believe that is the 2nd to last weekend of being in Logan at Richards Hall before move-out day. But with that being said, this weekend was one to remember.

Started out with a boy and a date. And I liked it :)

After I was dropped off I went to the DI Prom that a group of people in my ward put on. It was silly but a lot of fun. Afterwards we went to IHOP and were there till 1:00 in the morning. Took more pictures when we came back to Richards, then we decided we wanted to look at the 100+ pictures we took. We went to bed around 2:00 in the morning.

Church today was wonderful and afterwards a lot of us just lied out in the sun and did whatever our hearts desired. We got out water balloons and a blowup pool and had a mini water fight. We were out there for hours. It was in the 80's today and the back on my knees got sunburned. Just a little odd... Oh what a weekend, what a life, what a memorable time!

Now Let Us Rejoice!

I love Sundays, I really do. Today we were in sacrament and we were singing and I just started laughing because I was so happy. This evening was ward prayer and afterwards some of us stayed and sang hymns. It was a wonderful day! It made me so happy.

I hope everyone had a Happy Sabbath! 

Christ the Lord is Risen Today!

Happy Easter! 

I spent Easter with my roommates Heidie and Emme and it was so much fun to spend Easter with a family and laugh at all the silly things we do and say. Needless to say, we had a lot of fun!

The eggs we dyed

Emme, Heidie, and myself

 I am so grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ and for His atonement. Over these past few weeks I have come to realize even more how much the Savior cares for me and He truly does know my feelings and He can send me comfort in the ways that I need. I am eternally grateful for the gift of repentance and the love and support I feel when I come unto Him with my faults and repent and ask for His guidance for me to be a better person. I am so grateful that He has made it possible for my family to be together forever.

Simply Perfect In Every Way

Heidie and I went to Saturday morning General Conference and it was so wonderful to share that experience with her! I love this lady so much and to say that we partied in Sandy for the weekend is an understatement.

And here is the ticket. 

Winning Team

Last home game of the season and we are the
WINNING TEAM!
Could not ask for a better way to spend a Friday night. 

Some of my Favorite People

 I love being with my friends, especially when I have not seen them for months! These people seriously make me incredibly happy.

P.S.
The reason Amanda has such vivid makeup is because she was in a huge choir production. Don't worry, it's normal this time of year. 

Friday the 13th

Happy Friday the 13th! Or, maybe not. I don't know if you can call a bad luck day happy...

This is what my Friday the 13th consisted of.

Yes, this is soup they were serving today at the Junction (that place sometimes is sketchy). Hard to believe I know.It did not taste too bad, but I had to stop because the sight did not satisfy my eyes.

This....

Sometimes watching the Lizzie McGuire movie with my roommates is the best thing ever.

And one more thing; the Friday the 13th curse came upon me. For the first time in my life. 

I am sick. 

Not too bad, just a sore throat. I have an extra long weekend to get over it though. Hopefully this little sickness is just a Friday the 13th thing and will not last till tomorrow. 

Now off to bed :) 

The Lights on Temple Square

My favorite nativity scene  

Right before the week of finals a group in my ward went down to to Temple Square to the the lights. It was a bit cold, but seeing the lights on Temple Square felt like Christmas! I loved seeing the Nativity Scenes. One of my favorite things though was when a few of us went to see the Christus. It was obviously crowded on a Friday night close to Christmas, but that is what I liked about it. Most of the kids in the room were gathered around his feet. Some parents were showing the nail prints on His feet. It was very touching and it reminded me of the true meaning of Christmas.

We had so much fun and there was a lot of picture taking. It was a great night!  I love the spirit of Christmas! 

Friends and Movies

Not much really going on in my life right now.

This is how we slept

Except my friends from down in Orem came up for the weekend! Audrey, Kirsten, and Sydney! It was so nice to see them. It has been months!!! Literally! We went sledding, ate way good food and Aggie Ice Cream, watched Harry Potter 7 (both parts- and I was in heaven), and we did a lot of talking!!!

Oh! And there is a Tangled 2 short thing coming out in January! I am super excited! That is one of my favorite movies. Yes, you may call me a child, but that movie seriously makes me smile. A lot.
Oh and I just saw the Hunger Games trailer today! It looks better than I thought it would. I just might see it. Depends.

Our Own Little Party

Friday night Taylor and Emma called me to come over and make Candy Corn Sugar Cookies. It was just Talya and me. Alone. Our other roommates either went home for the weekend or went to a party. So when Emma and Taylor called it was good news for us!

Talya and I made the trek to the north side of campus and up 4 flights of stairs to get to their apartment. When we entered the smell of sugar cookies was defiantly in the air! It felt like Fall! 

The candy corn sugar cookies were so good. Just sugar cookies shaped like a candy corn. We dammed them and flooded them.

Our Delicious Cookies !
I love Halloween!

After our wonderful cookie making, we turned off all the lights, blasted Pandora, and put a strobe light on. It was a party of 4 and it was so much fun! We danced for about an hour (or so it felt). 

After our dance party we went to my apartment and watched She's the Man till 3:00 in the morning! 

Friday night was defiantly a night that I needed. I have not seen Taylor and Emma for a month and Talya and I just needed to get out of the apartment. It was such a great night!!! 

"USU" Family Weekend

This weekend was Family Week at USU. I don't know exactly what USU did for the family weekend, oh well. I really loved having my family up here!

They came up on Friday evening and we went to the Marketplace. It was so much fun! My parents, and my brother pretty much stuffed themselves full with all the good food! They even had Aggie Ice Cream. It was so much fun to just talk with them! 

Since they brought the RV up, they wanted me to sleep with them just like we do every family vacation. For Friday and Saturday night I spend my nights in the RV.

We watched an old TV series called Hazel, They brought the first season. 100% my family. We always watch old shows.  It was so much fun! 

On Saturday I gave my Dad and Blake the ultimate tour of CAMPUS and where my classes were. Got back and then the rest of Saturday was a day of shopping!  Bought Halloween decorations, grocery's, and other fun stuff.
Had hamburgers and chips. It's crazy the the little things you miss. Like hamburgers that my dad makes and eating together as a family. And then we went to Gosners. If you live in the Logan area and have not gone there, then shame on you! It is so good.
In the evening we went to Harry Potter 7.2. My family are huge movie lovers. It was just like home. Going out to a movie and watching it together as a family.
In the evening we relaxed, ate popcorn, watched Hazel, and went to bed.

Me and Blake- Sunday

Sunday. I went to church and when I got back my mom made French Toast and it was delicious! Perfect Sunday brunch. We went down to the Logan Tabernacle and walked around and just talked. It was a relaxing day of watching Hazel and talking. I love my family so much!
They needed to leave to get back early enough to go to school and work Monday morning.

1/2 an hour later I reach inside my pocket to call Haley. I pull my dad's phone. Oops. It took me 20 mins to call my mom because she would not answer. I told her. They decided they would come back and get it instead of my mailing it. Nice to see my parents for that last time.

I had a great weekend with my family! I love them so much! It was just like a regular family vacation. It was a perfect weekend!
