Fall Travels!

This weekend I went to the happy little Utah Valley for my friend Caitlin's farewell. 

The weekend had kind of a shaky start as I woke up on Friday super sick.  I ended up delaying my visit to Provo til Saturday, which was kind of a bummer because Dolly and I had a whole day planned on Friday and I had to miss it. : (   But other than that, the weekend was a good one.  I got to see some good friends and Melissa's family, which was fun. 

Here are some of the pictures I took!

I took my roommate to SLC on the way down and as we drove through Salt Lake we found this BEAUTIFUL tree.  I feel like I need to buy one of those really fancy cameras because this picture does no justice to it.  But it was beautiful.  I love fall!!

The Olive Box!!!

For those of you who dont know, this is the box where Mom stored all of the family pictures.  Many childhood afternoons were spent dumping this box out and rifling through these pictures. 

Rochelle let me take a few moments with it because she had transferred the pictures to a new waterproof box and she was going to throw it away.  I'm so glad she let me take pictures with it.  Lots of memories!

This is Caitlin!  She's awesome.  She reports tomorrow at the MTC.  Then this skinny little white girl from Provo, Utah will be headed to Los Angelos seeking the spanish speaking population. 

Between you and me, I fear for her, but she'll be ok! : )

These are some of my Provo friends.  I miss them.

Oh and this happened earlier last week.  I thought I would prove I do go on dates sometimes, but who really needs to know what he looks like!!! : ) haha.  teaser.  just for you Doll

Homecoming Weekend!!

This past weekend was HOMECOMING week!  It was a lot of fun.  Unfortunately I didnt capitalize on the bloggertunities and take as many pictures as I should have but it was a fun weekend.  On monday we painted the street with our program logo!  It was fun.  We wrote Speech Pathology in international phonetic alphabet (IPA) it turned out really cool.  Unfortunately my batteries were dead so no pictures of that.  There were a few other things like a Luau and the Mr. USU pagent.  I wasnt able to go to everything, but what I did do was fun.  But here are some pictures from Saturday!  It was a great day!

Here is one of my newest, greatest friend Nicole.  We represented the Communication Disorders program in the parade.  It was fun we got to give out so much candy!  Nicole and I are in the same program and I think she is great.  We also found out recently that we've dated the same guy, which was quite an adventure to hear her story.  She's great and her hat and scarf are so cute. I was so jealous!!!

This is my friend Brooke and I at the Homecoming game... before the rain.

Here we are leaving before half time because we were SOAKED clear through!!!  Fortunately USU's football team is less than phenominal so we lost anyway and we didnt miss a thing!

That night, after we had all dried off we met at Nicole's house for a North and South movie party.  (If you haven't seen Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South I recommend it.  It's my favorite movie!!!)

  

We made halloween cookies.  Some turned out to be the perfect size for Halloween Bat Mustaches.  So we were a little silly, but it was hard to keep those things on!!!!  Nicole's face kills me.

Brooke and I decided that frosting would help keep them on, which they did, but we ended up with Hitler mustaches afterwards.  We were trying so hard to be serious!

All in all it was a great weekend.  There was also a date in there somewhere too, but the outcome of that one is still to be determined. :) 

My first attempt at Blogging!!!

Yes, I have decided to join the ranks of those of you who blog.  I decided to blog for a few reasons.  1- because now that I am so far up here in Northern Utah this might be the only way anybody knows whats going on in my life.  2- I'm in school and so I'm busy, but I do have a little extra time so I thought it might be worth it to give it a try.  3- I wanted to fit in =) So here goes nothing!

I thought since nobody really knows what I've been up to, I'd blog a little bit of what I've done recently. 

So here I am up Green Canyon right outside of Logan.  It was so pretty with the fall colors!

My friend Kristen went through the temple about a month ago and here my friends Jannika (right) and Michelle (left) and I are waiting for Kristen to come out after the session. I love this picture!  Michelle and Jannika are adorable!

If you didnt know USU sports are CRAZY!!! In fact the night before conference we played BYU and beat them and when President Uchtdorf talked about sportsmanship we all assumed he was talking about USU fans.  We're crazy!  They get a little out of hand.  Here my friend Kelsi and I are at the BYU game. 

This is me on top of the church office building. 

This is when Dolly and I went home to visit.  We couldn't resist a trip to the cafe to get a plate of curly fries.  Too bad we forgot to take a picture until afterward.
