11/11/11 :D

So on this wonderful day... for the most epic wishing opportunity ever... we decided to have a bonfire in Provo Canyon! It was so much fun! We got back at around 1:00 A.M. we were just having so much fun! The fire was super smokey, so we all smelt wonderful! I have everything I was wearing in plastic sacks (to prevent the smell from spreading) until I get a chance to wash everything. But even my phone smells smokey (but not from putting it in the microwave... like someone else I know) and I can smell it when I talk on it. This was definitely a day I will always remember. Below are some pictures of our wonderful adventures.  :)

 This is the majority of the people who were there.

Two Peas in a Pod

Happy first week of October! There is snow on the top of the mountains here! It also snowed for a little bit on campus, but none of it stuck. It's supposed to warm back up to the 60's next week which will be nice. It is also Homecoming week! :) However, this started off like a very normal week. Lots of classes and a test here or there. I didn't get asked to anything to do with Homecoming... but that is perfectly O.K. with me because from friday at about noon my week got a whole lot more interesting! My cousin Emily came for a visit! 


She got here after my first class in the morning. She came to my next two classes with me and we spent an hour in the bookstore. That night we went to Wendy's (about a 2 minute walk from my dorm... during which we almost got hit by a car thanks to Emily's guidance) and had dinner before going to the "Homecoming Spectacular" show in the Marriott Center. It was a really good show! They had Brian Stokes Mitchell (known for his acting on Broadway) and many of the BYU dance companies, the philharmonic and the BYU Men's Chorus all perform. After the show we went to one of Emily's friend's apartments and watched a movie. After Emily and I returned to my dorm room, we stayed up until 6:30AM just playing card games and talking about random things. (My roommate was in Salt Lake with her family for the night, so we didn't need to worry about keeping her up) We woke up and just hung out in my room until we went out to dinner at Costa Vida (like a 5 minute walk). After dinner we went to the Football game (which we won!) Saturday night we only stayed up until 3A.M. playing games. Sunday we went to church and hung out around my building. I love having her here so much! She'll be here until Tuesday morning. So tomorrow she gets to go to class with me (if she wants) and enjoy living the life of a college student! Luckily I don't have class until 11 tomorrow. :)

General Conference Weekend :)

This week I had midterms. I had I test in my physical science, music101, and Book of Mormon classes. I also had an essay due. One every day Monday through Thursday. I was so happy to not have anything big to do on Friday! This next week I have two more tests, but they should be easier than the ones I had last week.


Friday night I got together with my brother-in-law Brent for dinner at the cannon center and then we went to the football game. BYU came from behind for a very dramatic win in the last minute of the game. It was a lot of fun getting to spend time with Brent. :)


I spent all day Saturday with 5 girls on my floor. (Megan, Whitney, Shelby, Emily, and Lydia) We had our meals together at the cannon and watched both sessions of General Conference in the basement of our building. Then we got together later that night with some guys in our ward. We headed over to the Tanner building and watched the movie RED on one of the projectors. We left the Tanner at about midnight. On our way back to our dorms we ran through the sprinklers that were going in the area between all the dorms and the cannon center. I got soaked! After we were done doing that we played missionary tag in the sprinklers. That was so much fun because we were all slipping and falling everywhere on the wet grass. We played until about 1 in the morning. It was so much fun!!!! :D

Today the same group of people who were playing tag last night got together for breakfast and the morning session of General Conference. Right after the morning session I went over to the Todd's for dinner/lunch and watched the final session of conference with them. Tonight I am looking forward to tunnel singing! :)


General Conference was so wonderful! I loved getting to watch all four sessions and take some great notes. I especially loved Boyd K. Packer's talk, and Tad Callister's talk. Not to mention the announcement that there is going to be another temple in Provo! The girls and I were all very happy when they announced that. :)


Hope you are all well. I love you so very much.
