Visitors!!!!! :D

This weekend, two of our friends Jen and Camie came to visit us!!!! It was so much fun! We went to Provo Canyon on Friday, to the football game on Saturday (with BYU's dreadful loss), went to a dance party in one of our friend's apartments, and then had a sleepover! Oh and it was also raining so we danced in the rain. :) On Sunday we went to church and then went around and took cute pictures. There was also a stake fireside that night. I love my friends here and its so much fun when everyone comes up to visit.

The super depressing score at the end of the game :(

This is Christine (left) and Jen! When we met Christine, we thought she was just like Jen! So basically they're twins and we were so excited for them to meet! :D

DANCE PARTAY!!!!!!!!!!!!


Oh you know, just dancing in the rain! :) Loved this!
Sleepover time!

We fit two small couches together and somehow five us slept on it...

Before church (or maybe right after).

There is a long explanation behind this picture....
Cute! I love this picture!

Trying to kiss a duck :P

Fireside....

Start of classes...more college activities...FUN! :)

Wow, so college life has been so much FUN!!!!! Its been crazy, busy, stressful, but so amazing all at the same time. I love it! My classes started on August 31st. Its been like three weeks now and I really love all my classes so much. I can't even say I have a favorite because they're all so great! I'm taking:

Spanish
Ballet
Fundamentals of Literary Theory and Criticism
Introduction to Writing and Rhetoric
Introduction to the English Major
Book of Mormon

The classes aren't that hard and I haven't had that much work to do for them (yet). If I had to pick a favorite, I guess I would say ballet, because I've missed it so much, so its great to do it and be in shape. I take it every day for an hour and a half so its a workout sometimes! But worth it in every way.

Speaking of my social life, so much has been happening I'm surprised I haven't gone crazy yet! I've taken many pictures too, of course, so sorry if you don't like the long post. :P


This was after the BYU-Oklahoma game which BYU dominated! It was a huge deal to beat Oklahoma cuz they're in the top ten and BYU hasn't beat a team in the top ten since like 1990! After the game, everyone was driving down the street and honking their horns. We wanted to find where people would be celebrating, so we went on campus and found this parade of people decked out in BYU clothing. We were led to this crazy dance party at some apartment complex with a bunch of older students. We only stayed for like two songs because there were sweaty guys everywhere but it was pretty awesome!



We're now going to take a family picture every Sunday. This was September 6th. Ha ha, I love us. :)

Brooke and I like to ride scooters everywhere. And boys look at us as we pass by and say how cool we are. No joke!


Chocolate milk at night is DELISH!

Banana splits at the creamery...way too big and way too expensive! But what I ate of it was good!

Dinner on Sunday with some boys in our ward. It was so much fun!

Family picture. September 13th.

Dancing in the pouring rain! SO amazing!

Waiting in line to see Pres. Monson's devotional! We were at the very front! Thanks to Christine, Hollie, and Kelly!

Yep...the prophet stood at that very pulpit...and we sat that close! It was amazing! :)

Hollie and me.

Brooke and I get easily bored in between our classes...

Shopping with (l to r) Ariel, Michelle, and Brooke!


Those dresses were so cool. Too bad we have an honor code.. ;)


I think we could be models.

Trying to find the campfire spot at Provo Canyon. It was so scary! But so fun! :D

I loooove UEA!!!

This weekend was so much fun! We had UEA weekend, which meant we got school off on Thursday and Friday. It was so nice to have only 3 days of school and a 4 day weekend! I did a lot of stuff every day and it was way awesome!

Wednesday: Technically, we still had school on Wednesday, but I went to the football game, so I'm counting that night as UEA. I went to the football game with one of my friends. We played against Northridge high school and beat them something like 30 to 7. It was a way fun game and we stormed the field when it was done. Then we went home and went to bed.

Thursday: My friends wanted me to hang out the whole day but I didn't really want to waste my whole day doing that so in the morning, I did a few chores and then later I went shopping with my brother and sister. I still had an art class (for college) so I went to that and learned about positive and negative space. :) Then I went with my friends. We mostly just talked and then started to watch a movie, but I went home, so I didn't get to see the rest.

Friday: On Friday morning, I did more chores (surprise, surprise) and then went out with my family later and some other fun relatives and saw "Journey to the Center of the Earth." To be truthful, I thought it was probably going to be kind of dumb, but it turned out to be pretty cool. Right before that we went to a park and had fun there.

Me in the middle (in the brown shirt) with my siblings and cousins! Notice my brother reading--he couldn't even look up for a picture the book was so good. haha, typical of him!

(Friday continued) That night, I went to a masquerade with some of my friends from yearbook staff. Another girl who's on yearbook was throwing it. It turned out to be way fun. The girl's mom is a teacher at this junior high so they did it there in the cafeteria. There was food and music and stuff, too. We played some games and learned a dance too, so it turned out to be pretty sweet.

Saturday: Early in the morning, I went with some friends to the temple to do baptisms for the dead. We didn't actually get to do baptisms, just confirmations, because the temple was so busy and some group of like 20 youth showed up unexpectedly. We would have stayed, but Courtney had to be somewhere so we just left.

Brooke and Courtney pretending to be asleep (not that the temple is boring!)

Who knows what I'm doing. :D

Brooke loves the temple!! It gets two thumbs up!

(Saturday continued) Later in the day, I had to go to work for eight hours (ugh!) but it turned out to be okay. I was there until eleven so I was way tired when I got home and went straight to bed.

Sunday: Sunday was a crazy day (weird, huh)! We went to church and left Sunday school to go to one boy's mission farewell (he was in our ward before it split and is an absolutely awesome kid). Then at 3 we went to ward choir practice (where I play the piano) and sang songs. At 5 there was a youth choir practice and right after that we were supposed to have a fireside by John Bytheway (it really is his last name!). However, he thought the fireside was at 7 and so he was about half an hour late, so we just sang songs until he came. It turned out to be a great fireside, and he was one of the funniest speakers I've ever heard! Then we got home, and sadly, we missed all of the "Amazing Race", so Cee Ryle had to tell us what happened. It was very hectic, but fun.

UEA turned out to be great and I really dreaded going back to school on Monday. Thankfully the week has gone by fast, and another weekend is already almost here!

P.S. High School Musical 3 comes out TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I were seeing the midnight show, but I will see it with my family to celebrate my birthday (a little late, I know). But I'm thoroughly excited and CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!! That's all, have a great day!

Foootball Games!!!

So just this past Friday I went to a Football game with some friends. I had so much fun! The game was against our rival, Viewmont, so it was a super fun game because everybody really wanted us to win. We were basically crazy the whole time and had lots of fun cheering really loud. We ended up winning 14 to 3, which was great, because we really didn't even expect to beat them (our team lost to a really bad school last week for the Homecoming game, so we kind of figured we'd lose this game, but I guess not!).

After the game, we went to Wendy's to eat with some other people from our school, except everyone else besides us, was from Viewmont, so they were kind of bitter towards us. They imitated one girl's laugh and were throwing kids meal toys at us. It was pretty pathetic and way immature so we just left and then went home. It was such a fun night though! My friend took some pictures, so I put them on here.

P.S. Some things I got for my birthday were CARRIE UNDERWOOD CONCERT TICKETS!!!! (can you tell I'm excited?), these way cute pink boots, cute clothes and other shoes, scrapbook stuff, the CD and DVD of August Rush (such a good movie!), and lots of other fun stuff!
