Girl's Night!!

Katee and I are having a movie night. We are watching Ocean's Eleven right now and then we are going to watch some more movies since Jess is with Bryan all night again. We have conference tomorrow though so we are going to be dead.. but that's ok.. katee is planning on sleeping in here so that we can watch movies until we fall asleep.

Waiting

Well, I'm sitting in the SWKT right now waiting for my lab to start and figured I have nothing better to do than update this thing and post some pictures. I'm talking to Kevin right now online and sending him some cool pictures of the mountains. We had a big rain storm last night and the clouds cleared right around sunset so we had a pretty amazing sunset. Today I have lots to do. I have a lab at noon then I am teaching for missionary prep around 7. I will probably also try to catch up on homework. Alright here are the pictures.

Wingers

Wednesday again, today I had class... fun fun.. then I came back and fell asleep for two hours I can't believe it... now I can't sleep.. smart.. I know. Anyways, Russell, Katee, and I went to diner and Winger's it was pretty good... I didn't even get wings though... Kateechastized me for that. When we got back I was supposed to work on homework but I was a slacker today and didn't do hardly any at all. Jess was with Bryan from 5-11 today.. they are pretty much in love and it is hilarious. Anyways.. maybe I'll go work on homework.. that will probably put me to sleep.

Roses are my favorite...

So Matt, Angela, Megan and Bethany got me a dozen roses for my arm. It was way nice! They were so pretty red, orange, and yellow. Well I got bored last night... and since roses are amazing.. here is what happened. Oh yeah, and a random picture of the view from my room.

Lots of News!

Well, I fractured, or really badly bruised my arm last week so... yeah that's no good. I got my cast off today. yay! Um... Friday night I went to preference with Justin York from my ward. It was a lot of fun. We went with Brad and Alicia, Jared and Rachel and Ricky and Anna. Let's see what else.. ooh Katee and Jess have been hanging out in my room a lot lately. The other night we were up forever talking and working on papers. We took like a billion pictures. The results are pretty funny. I will only put a few of them up or they might kill me :-) The last few are what happens when Kellen's name is mentioned. Katee gets all giggly and hides. It's funny.

People in love do silly things

Katee flew out this morning to go visit Kellen in Arizona. She will be gone until Monday. I ended up going to the Divine Comedy practice with Jared, Justin, and Ricky. It was a lot of fun, but a lot of technicalities were going on so it wasn't as good as the real show. That's ok.. it was better than sitting around here...Jess and I might be living with her uncle next year for a lot cheaper rent instead of an apartment because it is so hard to find anything that is a decent price. I guess if we live with him we will be able to save up some money for the future which is really good. Hm... I should probably go study now.

Flying

Wow, this week has definately flown by, not that I have a problem with that or anything I love weekends! Well, this weekend might not be too enjoyable. I already finished my four page paper due on Wednesday though... well for the most part there is still some editing to do and stuff... but it's mostly out of the way. I also studied for my Book of Mormon test that is on Wednesday. Next week is missionary week so it will be kinda hectic around here so I figured I needed to get stuff done and out of the way. Also, next weekend Katee is going to visit her fiancee in Arizona all weekend so it will be just Jess and I. I guess we will see how that goes. They are over at Bryan's right now watching the Phantom of the Opera but I felt like there was some stuff I needed to get done before I started partying... or... hanging out for the weekend. Well... that's pretty much it for now I guess. Maggie and I volunteered at the MTC today in the learning center. We acted as investigators and let missionaries teach us the discussions. Maggie and I are also going to teach a lesson on Sunday to a family about the plan of salvation for our missionary prep class. Well.. That is really all for now, I promise. Signing off...:-)

Weekends

So it wasnt exactly the best weekend. Friday night Jess, Ricky and I went to the men's volleyball game. We killed them so it wasnt soo exciting. Saturday I did homework pretty much all day then watched some movies at night. Sunday was a horrible day due to... some events. Hopefully things are better now.. Today wasn't too good either... oh well.. I guess that's how life is.. you get trials to make you stronger. Our FHE family went and played walleyball tonight.. that was a lot of fun!

Here we go

Here are some old pictures that we just got developed from when there was actually snow.... oh yeah, and a super old one from a football game with Russell in the background. Well... Jess and I are going to a men's volleyball game tonight with Ricky, so... I guess I'll catch ya later

PICTURES!

We got the pictures back today from Katee's wedding practice shoot. The lighting is pretty bad on some of them, so we are going to have to do it again. Jess is still practicing though. Also, today was the missionary prep fireside by Vaughn J Featherstone and Jess and I went with our friend Kevin in the ward. It was really good. Well.. here are the pictures! Oh, p.s. that is not her fiancee... that is a random guy that happened to be dressed up. They didn't think I would actually ask him to be in the picture. But, you know me... hehe...

The Days Really Are Getting Longer

I wasn't going to write today, but.. it's been the kinda day where I need to write it down to get it out. It was definately a long morning, I was on campus from 9-3, got up at 7:30... which probably doesn't seem that early... but is kinda early when for some reason I had nightmares last night so sleep was.. a rare gift. When I got back from campus I took like a two hour nap.. while it hailed and stormed outside. I think it probably rained for about 2-3 hours. There is supposed to be snow tomorrow. I've been studying since 6...I think I'm going crazy. I can't believe I had the motivation to sit down for...7 hours and study.... straight... different subjects of course but... still.. that isn't typical me. I talked to one of my friends on the phone for awhile about the gospel. That was a pretty cool experience, a bit of it was argument unfortunately but I feel like the spirit guided my words so that I knew what to say. Now I am talking to Justin about that experience and about sharing the gospel and my testimony. I would have to say I am very greatful to be here at BYU where I have friends I can talk to about this kind of thing and who understand what it feels like to have everyone believe differently than you. I guess you could say it has been a good, very long day :-)

We Finally Played Volleyball!

Today was really nice again, so after classes Jess and I went running, we ran up to the temple and back, and then played volleyball for about an hour. We are going to go to walmart tonight and then possibly to a movie. I don't know about the movie though because I have a test tomorrow that I need to study some more for. The radio said it was supposed to rain tomorrow and probably snow the next day.... so we are back to coldness probably... which is no fun... Oh well... .we were lucky we had any warmth at all.

Pretty Pictures, Stake Conference and Muffins

Today we took pictures of Katee in her wedding dress so Jess could practice for her wedding. We went outside and everyone was staring at her. We made a random guy come and take a picture with her. They were both pretty embarrassed. Afterwards we came and took pictures inside. Katee and I took some funny pictures together to use up the film. Stake conference was also this morning so we got up later and I did Jess and Katee's hair for church. We have to make muffins for the floor meeting tonight so we are getting ready to do that. It is amazing outside again today. It feels sooo good!

Forks and Shopping

Last night Katee, Jess and I went to American Fork to stay with Katee's aunt and cousins like I said before. We ended up doing absolutely no homework which was actually kind of nice, we just sat around and had a nice break from life. We watched the movie the wedding singer and then the movie Robots. This morning we hung out for a while then went shopping, Sears and JC Penny's were both having huge sales, very dangerous for a bunch of girls. It was fun though! It was beautiful out again today.. I can't believe the weirdness of the weather. Oh, we have stake conference today and tomorrow, but we forgot about it tonight and missed it. We will make sure to go tomorrow.

Life is Georgeous!

Today is a really good day! I got to sleep in, my class got out a half an hour early, and it is BEAUTIFUL outside! It's like spring already. Perfect weather, and tonight Jess, Katee, and I are going to American Fork tonight to shop for wedding stuff for Katee. Jess and I might play volleyball later too, because it is the perfect day to be outside and it would be a waste to stay inside. I love it! Oh, and I also memorized like... eight scriptures for my sharing the gospel midterm on monday... granted I still have like... nine left... it's pretty awesome I feel like I'm doing pretty good!

Good News

Today was better, not great by any means, but better! I have lots to do tomorrow though and my neighbor feels it necessary to blast her music. That's ok I guess, this weekend I'm going to American Fork to stay with Katee's aunt and cousins again. We are going to do laundry and probably study... for ever.. I have so many tests and other things coming up this week. It feels really good to not have a job anymore. I really like working even though I pretend I don't, it makes me feel like i'm accomplishing something, but it's also really nice to be able to focus on my studies and on getting my back better for now. Well, I'm going to try to go to sleep again. I don't know if it is possible unless I get brave and go tell her to turn down her music or be calmed by the oh so mean wrath of Heidi... we'll see. Goodnight!

Ugg

So, today I woke up with a pretty sore back, I've also been throwing up this morning... so I think my back is messing up my nervous system, either that or the mono going around finally got to me.... great... well I think it's about nap time... yay!

I LOVE Three Day Weekends!

Wow, it sure felt good to have a break from school, the last one I might add until the end of the semester in April.... scary stuff... not even a spring break to keep me sane! It was a lot of fun though, Jess, Katee and I got a lot of movie watching in. I also got to hang out with Matt, Megan, Allie, Merri, Bethany and Ricky on Friday night and play games. Saturday our ward went tubing with another ward. It was tons of fun but SOOO cold! Jess and I proved ourselves to not be whimps though, thank goodness. Sunday was pretty busy too as usual, I had lots of meetings, and other things. Today was also nice. Jess, Katee and I made dinner for Justin, Ricky and Bryan, then we went and did service for FHE. Oooh yeah, I gave blood this week too! Jess, Katee and I watched the movie Holes tonight too, that was a lot of fun... Hmm... I guess that is all the news I have for now, I should probably study for my test tomorrow then head to bed, school starts again... hooray... not.

Volleyball Guys are Attractive

Hey Everybody... Lots happened today. I finally got the chance to sleep in. First time in a long time. I worked on my lesson for Relief Society for a few hours and then tied baby quilts for service. It was a cool experience. We had lots of fun, and the blankets are adorable. Jess and I went to the men's volleyball game at 7. We thought we were going to lose at first. We lost the first two games in the match then killed them in the last three. It was a lot of fun, I miss going to sports. Afterwards we came back and had a frozen pizz and are watching Mona Lisa Smile right now... because we decided a chick flick was necessary. Well... I'm going to go work on my homework while I watch the movie.

Date

So, I went on a date tonight with my friends Bryan and Jess, and Jess's blind date Derek. It was so much fun. I had to get off work early to go but that is ok. We went to the improv comedy show Laugh out Loud. It was really good. After that we went back to Derek's apt and ate ice cream off of the table... don't ask... long story. Then we went and played various pool games, as well as charades, pictionary, and the picture game. It was cool and a lot of fun. It's nice to just hang out with friends, no pressure and have lots of fun! Other than that... life has been just work, working out, and school.
