Homecoming!

Well, it's been a long time since I last posted, but I've been so busy! I just wanted to post a few pictures of the FREEZING cold Homecoming game yesterday! It was so much fun! It didn't start out that cold, but as each quarter went by, it just kept getting colder and colder...and it snowed! Our football team dominated though, 58-12! It was an awesome game and we had fun, even though we were freezing!

Fun Weekend at College!

Well, these past couple of days have been fun! Last night, we (me and a roommate, Christina, and two guys we went to high school with) played a very intense game of Monopoly:Then & Now!! We used the rules for a short game, but it ended up going for like 3 hours! But it was amazing, we had a good time! Then we went over to the guys' house and watched the first half of the Bourne Ultimatum. We got tired at about midnight and called it a night!
Then, today, after sleeping in until 10, we decided we'd have another fun day! We partied at the Activities Center, playing volleyball and raquetball, then we watched most of the BYU/Washington game! Then we decided to go to a matinee of Babylon A.D. at the movie theater in town. The movie was pretty good, different and kind of confusing, but good! Then we went back to the guys' place and had some dinner and watched TV!
I know this doesn't sound like fun, but we all had an amazing time! We just have fun together so I enjoyed it! ;)




I'm having difficultly with the pictures, so I'll see if I can add those soon! :)

My Dad's Birthday Surprise!

This week is my dad's 50th birthday! We talked a lot about what we wanted to give to my dad and decided that we would go to Desert Star Theater as a family...but then my mom thought of a great idea! Since most of us (Stuart, Ethan & I) would be away at college for his birthday, she thought it would be great if we came up to surprise him! Conveniently, Labor Day is right around his birthday! So, my mom bought the tickets for all of us, but telling my dad that it would be only the 2 of them for a night out, and all of us kids would be there to surprise him! So, the night came (this past Friday) and we all beat our parents to the theater and shouted and screamed as he walked in! He had no idea, even when mom almost blew it! But we all had a great time and dad really enjoyed it! The show was 'Scary Poppins', and it was quite hilarious! Here are some pictures of the evening!

Yes, ladies, Ethan is single! ;)

New Hair Cut (and Color!)!

Well, I should have posted this a while ago, but I've been pressed for time as of late! I just wanted to post a couple of pictures of my new hair cut that I've had for about 2 weeks! I really, really love it! I hope you will too!! I love the new color and I've decided I'm going to stay brunette!

Well, school is going wonderfully! I absolutely love it! I've had a great time down here and I've met tons of fun people! My roommates are so fun and I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life! :) We're having a fun time together, as well as with our Grantsville guys! We hang out at their place a lot because it's cooler! (And they have a TV!)

I have a ton of music classes, which I LOVE, as well as an english class and a bowling class! All in all, things are going really well! I do miss my family, and my cat, but I get to see them this weekend! YAY!

First Week at Snow!!

Wow, what a week!! First of all, the move down here went great and the president of Snow College actually helped me and my roommates move in! How cool is that?
This past week has definitely been a busy one, though! On Monday and Tuesday, us wee freshmen had 'Start Smart', which is a class that gives a good overview on how to be a good college student! It was quite exhausting, but we got free food out of it, so we won't complain! ;) Then, school officially started on Wednesday! I have a ton of music classes, which I love, and some fun ones too! My friend Skylar and I are taking Bowling together, so that's really fun!
Luckily for us, we've had lots of free meals provided almost every day, so it definitely helps out! We've been hanging out with our friends almost every day, and having a BLAST! I've met some really fun people and I'm really enjoying this new experience!

Off to College!!

This week is going to be a busy one! I'm moving off to Snow College this Saturday! I'm kind of scared, it'll be my first time being on my own, but then again, I'm SO excited! Luckily, I'm living with 2 other people I know and Stuart will be down there too! It's just going to be a brand new experience!
Lately, I've been worrying that I haven't got everything I need, but I think everything will work out. Fortunately, Aunt le gave me some dishes and other kitchen items, Valerie offered me an old tower for a computer, and Aunt Kaye let me buy an old monitor from her! I just love my family, thank you all so much! :D It really helps!
