Wow this is wierd

So a few days ago one of my residents got engaged. This girl is 18. Plus my roommate who just turned 18 in August is very close to getting engaged as well. This made me think of two things firstly HOLY CRAP! And secondly how differently my life woudl be right now if I would have gotten married last years sometime. I am thankful that I did not get married. I enjoyed this past summer and it would have been a lot harder if I would of had to stay in Utah with some guy. Also I don't think I would be very prepared. I am still learning so much and want to gain a better testimony on some things. However for those girls that I know that are getting married I am sure that for them it is the right time. I think it is smart to, like Elder Bruce R. McConkie says, “Marry the right person [at the right time], in the right place, [and] by the right authority.” Though I don't really have any plans to get married any time soon it is nice to know that when that time comes I will hopefully feel that it will be under these four situations. I am really excited though to go through the temple in the next few years. Every since I have been little it has been something that I have been striving and preparing for. For now I guess I will just prepare and do my best to be worthy to enter that holy building!

Awesomeness.

Ah I don't think I could explain how satisfying my life is right now. I just hope it doesn't come crashing down on me anytime soon. So the last few weeks have been incredible. I have been doing better in the class (darn accounting) that I was struggling in (knock on wood). I am currently dating a boy named Jordan Morley. He always makes my day and we have all sorts of fun. I also have gotten a lot closer to my roommates. We have had some sweet bonding time and I look forward to the rest of the year to get to know them better. We have been baking together, drawing on our windows together, and doing random cartwheels together. We have also already started listening to Christmas music already though I think I can only handle it in spurts it is still pretty fun.

So here is a short summary of my last two weeks. So on the Friday before Halloween Jordan took me along with a lot of people in our apartment building to an Improve show in South Ogden. It was costumed so we got all dressed up like Harry Potter and Ginny Weasly wands and all. Kristen helped me make mine. Jordan had not been home in a while so afterwards he went home while I headed back up to Logan. On Halloween me and Sarah (one of my roommates) took a nice fall walk and then later met up with a group of girls in our building to have a scary movie marathon. We watched What lies beneath, The corps Bride, Serendipity(I know it's not a scary movie), and Hide and Seek (Crazy scary). It was way fun! The next Sunday was Fast and Testimony meeting which is always fun. The next weekend consisted of an IWA institute dance with Jordan. It was themed as I spy so we went as undercover college students very creative I know. We also watched Marley and Me...way cute btw. Saturday Emily(another roommate) and I went to the gym and then lunch at the cafeteria. We then cleaned up and went bowling with sarah, her friend, and Jordan. I'm not a good bowler at all but we had fun. We cam back and played apples to apples. That night an awesome basketball game. We killed the team but it was just an exposition game so the next few should be closer. Sunday consisted of church, community nap time, drawing on our window, and taking random pictures around campus. Followed by Emperors new grove and Hot Chocolate.

Its getting colder now but I feel so happy that it doesn't even matter!

New year

Wow I can't believe that it is already almost the end of October. It seems just a few days ago that Dad was dropping me off in my new apartment. I have been enjoying my time here greatly, though things are much different from last year. First of all I get to cook my own food. I love this opportunity though I don't necessary cook many of my meals I love being able to choose what I eat. I also am buying all of my groceries so this helps me choose what I'm going to eat since I'm paying for it. I am also living in an apartment instead of just an old fashioned dorm plus with my RA position I get my own room. I love my roommates. They are way sweet and totally awesome. I really enjoy having members of the church as roommates. Second classes are a lot harder. Though I'll admit I don't think I have been studying any more. I am enjoying them though I feel like they are actually stuff that I will be doing in my career. Thirdly me ward is a whole lot more fun than last year. They are a lot more inclusive and willing to get to know more people than just their neighbors. So yep a lot of changes going on. however one thing has not changed I still love to go to all the games I can. I have been to both home football games and one volleyball game with many more to come hopefully. Some highlights have been I went to Bear lake over labor day weekend it was a lot of fun full of volleyball, water fun, and sand castle making. Homecoming was also lots of fun. I went to a lot of the events going on like donating blood, late night movie, the dance, painting the street and the game. I had a really good time.

March Madness

Think reverse this was my revenge
More Revenge

Playing in the mountain of paper

It was in my bed too!

Everywhere

Sad saran wrap!

Glorifying their accomplishments

So some of my awesome friends have gotten in the habit of pranking me unjustly. It's all in good fun and I get them back but I thought it was something fun to share. On top of this craziness they have also stolen and hid my phone in the fridge, drawrs, and in my bed. Other than that this month has just been full of fun. The NCAA tournament has been fun to watch it would have been better if usu would have lasted longer but oh well we are WAC champions. Also I rented a bike from the bike store so as soon as the snow stops I'll be able to ride all around!

February Fun

So this month proved to be quite exciting. With the continuing awesomeness of the Utah State Basketball team then games never seem to keep me down. I feel so special that my team is on the top 25 and has the longest winning streak in the nation. I go to every single game possible and even switched a ticket with a friend for a play that I have to go to for a class to make it to one of the games. When they appear on the television you can guarantee that I will be there watching it. I just hope that we can continue these on till the end of the season. March Maddness here I come.

I have also had the oportunity to get closer to a group of girls on my floor. The first weekend was a girls choice institute dance, we all asked guys and went as a giant group it was so much fun. It was also nice to go to a Utah dance it's been a long while since I've been to one of those. I took a kid that I knew I would have a lot of fun with from my ward. We had a good time and played some cool games afterward.

The rest of that weekend I hung out with my new group of friends and we built an awesome fort in our common room. We felt like little kids so we watched some little rascles in their. We used a christmas tree as a center piece and then designed the rest like a circus tent. Believe it or not it was quite roomy in there and we were able to fit a good number of people with no problems. Though it got a bit warm we still enjoyed it.

Later that day we went on an adventure through logan. It was like 55 degrees so we walked all over town like tourist. We were originally looking for a park but ended up just walking around. It still was way fun. Plus it was a wonderful day. That night we slept in our fort (at least till 3 when it got too hot). We had a little sleep over and talked till like 1:30 in tho morning.

School is going pretty good still. I seem to be doing ok in all my classes. I just have to keep on top of things. I beilive that once I make it through till spring break I'll be home free.

ok so I had some problems formating this but whatever!

Holidays

It was so nice to be able to go home for the winter break plus the Texas weather didn't hurt either. My family and I were able to play all sorts of games and watch many movies. Abbie, my sister, came out for a few days. It was nice to be able to hang out with her and her little pug. The opportunity to see some of my friends over the break as well. I decided that I might as well do something at the beginning of the break so I went down a too steep hill on my friends long board. Well I went a little too fast for comfort and tried to abandon ship and fell, but I was OK. Just some scraps on my arms and a sore bottom. Also a fun excursion to the galleria for some serious ice skating. I forgot how much I love to ice skate. However it would have been nicer if it wasn't so busy but hey what can ya do the week before Christmas your going to find some people at the mall. We spent Christmas eve in Abilene with Abbie and Tatton. We had fun playing games and going to this incredible Chinese place. Christmas day was fine Cameron had work so we opened gifts, ate pancakes, and then he left for work. However the day was still quite fun. We got a lot of awesome gifts. Even though the missionaries came over later the day was not lost. We played games and enjoyed each others company. As for presents I got my big gift my lap top in advanced. With an awesome quilt Abbie made me, a movie, a bed sheet, and a sweater my Christmas was small but meaningful. It was just nice to be home. The next preceding days consisted of movies, games, and Wii. One of the biggest highlights was the music video we made the day before I left for Utah. You can see it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ5UD8N191w we are pretty silly. It was quite the switch coming back to school. Pretty much freezing and snowy. But it will spring soon enough. I'm still not sure about some of my classes but after this semester it's no more generals so hooray!
