Halloween

There are NO words possible to explain my thinking this year. You may ask why I put my self through such mortification...it makes me laugh! But I had no idea how embarrassing it may have been for others to be seen next to me. So to all my loved ones, friends, co-workers, and the random person who followed me down the UVU hallway...thank you for not judging me and still being my friend after Halloween:)

Which One?
Take the GRE which is more quantitative or take the MAT which is more analytical?I do better with my analytics but not so well with guantitativeness!The one plus side to the MAT, it is cheaper!For my last semester as an undergraduate I am taking Independent Studies to study for whichever test I end up taking. If anyone has more info, it would be greatly appreciated!

What An Amazing Experience

Steven is serving his mission in Tucson, Arizona and now has officially been gone for over a month and a half...close to two months, wow! The letter's that he writes are so upbeat and full of the spirit. Here are some pictures from his mission:

#1: The Pink Palace, the double wide they live in.

#2: His awesome bike!

#3: His first baptism, Cody ("with the shaved head").

#4: His first dog attack:( Yes, that is a paw print!

"True, enduring happiness, with the accompanying strength, courage, and capacity to overcome the greatest difficulties, will come as you center your life in Jesus Christ. Obedience to His teachings provides a secure ascent in the journey of life. That takes effort. While there is no guarantee of overnight results, there is the assurance that, in theLord's time, solutions will come, peace will prevail, and happiness will be yours." Richard G. Scott (Ensign, Nov. 2006)

Sleep

How I wish this was my life!

Dove

In my Abnormal Psychology class I am doing a presentation on eating disorders and I found this amazing ad done by Dove on self image. I love how they have put it together and show how much media affects each one of us but especially children.

Painting

This weekend will be the official weekend of move in! The townhouse is now officially ready for everyone and everything else to be moved in. Bethany and I stayed up til 1 am Thursday night painting her bedroom from and ugly robin egg's blue to an awesome green. Now we can move in all the big furniture and start setting up the rooms. I have been living in the townhouse by myself for the past week and a half and am definitely ready to have my friends back!

Hallelujah!

I have now "officially" been in the townhouse...by myself, for a week. But really it has only been a day here and a day there. I have to shower every day, I can't get away with not, and for the past week there has been NO HOT WATER! Praises be to my dad who came out with his handy man tools and turned on the gas for me and then made sure it worked before I even tried to get into my luxorious hot water bath. How much I have missed soaking in the beautiful smells of my Awapuii Shampoo, Victoria Secret bath gel, and being able to shave my legs without cutting off all of my precious goose bumps. But no more! Thanks Dad!

So now that I am actually spending time at a close to functioning townhouse, I will start taking some pictures to share with everyone. I am just learning how much goes into living in something more than an apartment. I didn't have a clue that I was supposed to contact the HOA, call the gas company to turn the gas back on, or that Lehi city charges a $150 deposit to have the utilities in our name. But it is a price to pay to live in a nice area and actually have room to live:)
