Football and Sunsets!

Holy cow I am so behind on blogging it is not even funny! This semester is taking a toll on my life...but that's ok because I always look forward to the chance I get to relax and blog! 

A couple weeks ago my sister and I went to my "little" cousins football game! This kid is a stud and scored three of the four touchdowns! He's not so little anymore! 







My sister and I embarrassed him pretty good, gotta love seventh graders! 

Also one Saturday I was studying in one of the buildings on campus and when I decided to go to the bathroom, I leave shutting the door not even thinking if it was locked and come back to find EVERYTHING except my cell-phone was locked in this room on a Saturday afternoon with no one around! Awesome! Luckily some nice people gave me the idea to go to campus security and they let me in but wouldn't let me stay because if the door locks when it shuts that means they probably don't want anyone in there so I had to leave the comfy seats and go to a less comfortable room but luckily with all my stuff! 


The Fall sunsets here are so pretty lately! The weather has been so nice and it just feels good to enjoy fall for once! 


P.s These have no filter or edits, this is EXACTLY how they looked!

October = Haunted Houses!

I have never been to so many haunted houses in my life...I have been to four in the past week! I went to Albion with my friends, and then this last weekend I went to three! It's so fun, and I guess that is what Halloween is for right?

On Wednesday my roommates and I were really annoyed with life and decided to pretend school didn't exist and watch a movie! It was so nice, we ordered pizza, got pops from Great Scott's, and watched a movie. It was really awesome!






Friday we went to a something called a Haunted Theater in Idaho Falls! It was so fun! This place is actually haunted and they did a really good job at scaring us! You go in this tiny tiny room and they talk it up, they tell you they can touch you, and explain how pitch black it is and how you need to keep your arms out because there are drop-offs and some pretty intense stuff. You crawl, get dropped on an elevator, almost get hit by a car, and so on! It was pretty awesome! Sadly I didn't get any pictures because it was all so fast, but just know it was really fun! 

Saturday night my roommate Ashton and I had a roommate date and went to dinner at Pizza Pie Cafe, and then went to the Haunted Forest with a group of friends. It was super fun! They take you out to the middle of this forest on a hay ride, and you follow the trail in the dark. It is kinda creepy and the trees lit up like it we were in a horror movie! 










All in all it was a great week/weekend! I can't believe we are already to the middle of October! Time is flying by! :]

Conference Weekend!

I went home this weekend for several reasons, but the most important being: I haven't seen my family in like FOREVER, and second it was General Conference Weekend! It was so nice to be able to go home and just hang out with my family! I seriously LOVE being home! 

Friday I headed home right after class and the Fall colors were so pretty...I am a sucker for a pretty picture! So I dangerously took some pictures but I still made it home in one piece! :]



Friday night Holli and I had some serious catching up to do...with Vampire Diaries! The 4th season is now on Netflix and we have been dying to see what happens! We are losers we know...but we are losers together and that is key! haha



Saturday the weather was beautiful! My Dad was kind enough to let me sleep in until 9:00...he had plenty of jobs for me to do! I love working with him though! He is one of my best friends, and I love helping him out! So we went out to my Grandma's and picked up cement from a ditch he had dug up! It was hard labor, but that is the life you live without any brothers! haha! Afterwords we went home and my mom made homemade chili, we watched the second session of conference, took naps and just relaxed! It was so nice! 

Saturday night Dakota invited me to go to the Haunted Mansions of Albion...pretty dang scary! And if you know me at all you know I don't do well with scary things...and this one is pretty intense! But luckily it wasn't as bad as I anticipated it but it was still super fun! My little sister Holli and her friend Tiffany came too! It was so fun! 












Sunday we relaxed watched conference had the traditional sausage, biscuits and gravy and did nothing! It was wonderful! I sadly headed back to reality on Sunday but I got to see Dakota one last time because, well long story short, she lost her senior sweatshirt and it was randomly in my trunk so I took that to her which was great because I got to see my best friend again! It sucks going to different schools, but our weekend parties are sure fun! :] 


My mom is so crafty, and generous and made the cutest milk cans for her mom and her sister! She is pretty awesome! I took this to my aunt and she was so excited...I secretly wanted to steal this for myself, but I didn't! But seriously these are so cute! 



I am seriously so blessed! I love my life! 

P.S: My favorite quote from conference! 



P.S: We got Erica's Flight Itinerary today! She will be in Twin Falls on November 26th at 9:00 PM! Holy cow that is in only 6 weeks and 5 days people! I cannot hardly wait! Thanksgiving cannot come soon enough! :]

Weekend Shenanigans!

This past weekend was a blast! I seriously LOVE my roommates! They are just what I was hoping for this semester and I couldn't be more excited for the rest of the semester!

Friday night we planned for a big group to go to I-Jump in Idaho Falls, we were so excited and then at last minute everyone bailed! We were bummed but decided we would still go! It was the most fun I have had in so long! It was just our apartment and we were practically the only ones there! It was so fun! We really bonded as an apartment and since then we have been really close!


** If you feel so inclined go ahead and watch a pathetic attempt at a front flip! It is really dark...but you can see my glowing shirt! 


Saturday I went to Island Park with Hyle to do some work on the cabin and the scenery was beautiful! I am beginning to love Fall more and more every year! It was breathtaking and these pictures don’t even do it justice!








Saturday night a big group was going to the Straw Maze and so we decided to join along with them! It was really fun…not gonna lie I get pretty frustrated in those things, but I still had fun! Our group was the first ones to get out and then they had a bunch of games and stuff for us to play while we waited…watching was way more entertaining!







Have a great week! :)

Holy moly am I behind!

Holy cow! This semester is only two weeks into and I can barely keep up! I can tell this is going to be a busy semester, but I know it is going to be a good one! I LOVE LOVE LOVE all my roommates! Seriously we were meant to be put together! I have never laughed so hard at 1 in the morning! It is only the second week of school and we are already best of friends! The first weekend of school was pretty entertaining! Friday night we went to a block party at this place called Sammy's. They do this every fall and have live bands come and free stuff its pretty fun! 

Saturday was a day for homework but Saturday night was a night for partying! The crossroads was broadcasting the BYU vs. U of U game...go figure there are a lot of BYU fans at BYU-I haha! We stayed until about half-time and then a bunch of kids were going out to the sand dunes to have a bon-fire! There was a pretty large group and this 12 passenger van was going out! A couple of my roommates thought hey lets just get in and it'll all be fine...well we climb into the back where there are no seats just mattresses and about 15 kids...it was a little sketch! But hey we were still thinking oh this is an awesome idea! We make it out to the dunes and the girl driving gets stuck immediately in the sand...luckily there were a ton of guys to get us unstuck! We had our bon fire and started to head back! We climb in the van and the girl thinks it is a good idea to go 67 in a 50 MPH zone with well over 20 kids in the van! She passed a cop and he immediately flips around and says I need to know how many are not wearing a seat-belt but I need to run your registration first. The cop is gone for about 20 mins. and of course I am thinking of  the worst things that can happen, getting arrested, losing my license- even though I wasn't the one driving, and so on when the cop comes back he tells the girl it is your lucky day...my computer is down so you just get a warning! Holy cow that girl is a lucky one...and I vowed to NEVER ride in the back of a van like that again...in the moment I wasn't thinking but then I thought about how dumb that was and all that could have happened! Someone was certainly looking out for us! 



Today we were able to have Elder D. Todd Christofferson for devotional and it was so cool! Having an apostle in the same room is certainly humbling and the Spirit is amazing! Also Heidi and I went to Pizza Pie and they messed up her lid...we thought it was funny! I promise to be better with blogging!
