It does exist!

Every once in awhile I like to think about my wedding. I'm not one of those girls who has it all planned out- but its a fun thing to think about! Especially when there are a million important things I should be thinking about. Well... a year or two ago I came up with the idea that I was going to have a photo booth at my wedding reception for the favor. I am a fan of the favor- but not lame favors. I obviously knew that photo booths existed- but I did not know that they existed just for this resason! I went to this "What Women Want" fair thingy in St. George on Saturday. It was kind of lame- but they had this! I was really excited.

HSM 3

I am a fan of the Disney Channel.

Yes, I am 21.

I loved High School Musical 1 & 2 so of course I was excited to see High School Musical 3. (I even saw it on opening night- maybe it is because I live in a small town and it was something to do on a Friday night OR it may have been because I am that hard core of a fan. You can decide.) While the majority of the sold out theater was little girls and their parents there were also some older audience members without children (similar to myself). I wish I could have taken my cousin Maddie and my sister Em!

I can honestly say that it was a good movie- it was better than HSM2 in my opinion. I think that I liked it so much because I have graduated from High School- and I am afraid that there is going to be a generation of kids with really high expectations for High School because of this movie. They may be a little dissappointed. I know that I would be.

The movie goes through all of the drama of Senior year- college decisions, relationships, prom- you know all of the important stuff. Of course it had a great ending- everyone ends up together (not at the same college- it couldnt be that perfect, but they will attend schools only 32.6 miles away from each other)! But isnt that why we watch movies- to watch something that would never really happen but that still gives you a little hope that it could?!

Fall Break!

This past weekend was Harvest Holiday aka the Deer Hunt. I did not participate in the deer hunt. I am still weirded/freaked out by the entire hunting/killing animal process. I do love having a long weekend though! I always go up to Logan but this time I went to SLC/Provo/Orem. (I promise I will make it up North sometime soon!) I am getting better at figuring out the layout of Utah! I had fun seeing old/new friends! I did not take many pictures- what is wrong with me?!

Chris in Provo. (Sorry repeat picture!)

Tessa in Orem!

Stevie in SLC! Thanks Stevie for letting me stay with you! I had so much fun!

I was able to go to Gardners Village, Gateway, BYU, Einsteins Bagels, BaskinRobins, and church! It was nice to be in an actual city with traffic!

This ones for you mom!

On Sunday I was able to get a tour of the BYU campus... strangly I have never gotten an actual walking tour of BYU. (Ha ha... however I know the USU campus very well :) ) I learned some interesting facts- and got to see in person where my mom lived!

My tour guide!

Me in front of Horne hall!

Me with the statue-standing on the grass that the sign specifically says not to stand on. My bad.

Don't worry Mom and Dad- I still love SUU and USU!

Fruit Basket

A long time ago (lets say 16 years ago) I loved to play the game, "Fruit Basket" at the McNeils house. Poor Kristy had to play it with me over and over and over! That is one of my many many memories that I have with the McNeils- I also have fond memories of playing "Guess Who". Fast forward to 2008. I get a surprise package from the McNeils and this is what was inside! I was so excited. I have not seen this game since I left Texas 13 years ago! Thank you Kristy, and thank you Mont! I love it.

Oh, I can't wait to play it.

Quick and cute

I got this idea from one of my roommates who is super creative! It is quick and turns out adorable! You can either buy a plain frame and paint it or buy an already painted one. I did one of each! Add patterned paper and some sticker letters and you are done!

One for my little

One for Stevie as a housewarming gift!

Now I want to make one for myself! I am running out of good letters though- haha!

Little Basket!

I had fun putting together my basket for my little sister in Alpha Phi! (Now I have 2 littles- well 4 if you count my real littles!) I always get really nervous before I give them the basket- because I start second guessing myself! I actually made my blanket this year- last year I had my roommate tie one for me! It was a little time consuming- but not too bad! I love it- thanks Jacie for helping me!

The blanket

The basket- well I actually bought a blue cube!

Think Pink!

Alpha Phi was asked to help out at the annual Breast Cance Awareness Soccer game. The girls soccer team wears pink uniforms and everything! I really had nothing to do with the planning- but I was able to go and help set up and sell some merchandise! It was a lot of fun- and very very cold! At one point there was even snow! I LOVE pink so it was fun to have everything decorated in pink! I wish I had a picture of the shirts- but I never took my jacket off!

Getting all set up- I LOVED seeing everyone in pink!

My friend Ian and me at the game!

Selling the cute shirts!

To settle your stomach

Daughter: I think I am going to be sick. Like for real sick. (This girl looks a tad bit green in the face.)

Mom: You probably need some breakfast. How about a doughnut?

Strangly the doughnut did not really help, but laughing about it almost did!



Oh the memories... I passed the infamous Krispy Kreme doughnut shop.

I love to see the Temple!

I had the opportunity to go to General Conference this weekend! I have never attended a live session of General Conference- but I have always wanted to (in fact it is on the list of things I want to do before I die). I was able to be in the conference center for both Saturday sessions. I met up with a friend from California and we waited (in the rain and cold- without an umbrella) in the stand-by line... and we sat on the first level! I could actually see the speakers- it was AMAZING. During one of the songs I looked around at everyone around me and it was such a neat feeling to know that there were thousands of people there all for the same reason, trying their hardest to live what they know is true. It was a comfort to know that I am not alone! I love this gospel.
