A Funny

The other day in Women's Chorus we were doing a particularly shrill warm-up exercise. Afterwards, I heard a girl behind me mutter, "You hear that highness? Those are the shrieking eels." It took me a while to catch on, but once I did, I couldn't stop laughing! :)




My guess is this guy would agree with her.



EEEEEEEEEEEEEECCCCCCCCHKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We Were Care Bears For Halloween

We got 5 dollar sweats from Walmart, made some tummies with felt and fabric, and glued felt to headbands for ears. Then we went to a dance party. :) It was a fun Halloween!

A Picture For Those Days When You Just Need A Laugh...

A little gem from my Child Guidance class. :) I laughed SO hard when I saw this. I think being a parent will be a pretty interesting/hard/hilarious/do I laugh or cry? experience. :) Love to you all!

Murder Mystery Dinner!

We had a ward murder mystery dinner this past weekend. Roaring twenties themed, and SO fun. I may be almost twenty, but I love dress-up just as much as I ever did! Here we are, all dolled up and ready to sleuth!


Bre and Joseph. I accidentally broke Joseph's cane later that evening. Oops!



Nate and I. I got that dress at DI for 6 dollars. Not bad :)



Peter and Jen


The gang :)

Ward Campout

This weekend my ward went up to Peyson Lakes in the canyon for a campout. It was really fun! The girls stayed at one campsite and enjoyed AMAZING dutch oven dinners (courtesy of Bro. Mullen), while the boys slept under the stars and ate hot dogs. :)



Camping! It's been far too long since my last campout. I think it was...in high school?



Beautiful Shirlei, a girl from Brazil who's living in our complex. And she's getting baptized in two weeks! Woohoo!



Our campsite.



Eleven people, an air matress, and two plastic spiders in a tent. It was a leetle crowded.



The next day we met up with the guys and hiked to Grotto falls. Icy cold! But super fun to stand under and push your friends into.



It really was freezing!



This was my first time canoeing. It was so easy and fun! The lake reminded me of Greenbriar back home. I'm thinking we should take our canoe up there sometime, Mom!



Off we go canoeing! I don't have any pictures of our canoe wars with the rest of the ward, but rest assured that we were capsized several times.

I love my ward. Most of the people from this last year are moving out this fall. It'll be all new friends, callings, and experiences. But we certainly won't stop having such good times. :)

Inception

Oh. My. Gosh.

I have never, ever, EVER seen a movie like inception. It is amazing. It is mysterious. It had my heart and mind racing throughout the whole thing as I tried to keep up with the multiple layers of plot. I can't even describe it to you. This is a movie that keeps you on edge and makes you think. It's not sadistic or sexy, which is so refreshing. It is an action movie but it's not based on killing people. It's about dreams and multiple realities and the incredible power of the subconscious. My friends and I were discussing it for about an hour after we had seen it. Too intense for little ones, but if you like an action movie once in a while chances are you will love - or at least be irresistibly intrigued - by this one. Dad, if it's showing on planes within the next couple of months, I think you should watch it. But make sure you don't get up to stretch during it, because chances are you'll miss something really important.

Uneconomical Addiction

Freshman year I took a look around the Cougareat and noted with relief that it would probably be easy for me not to spend money there. None of the locations tempted me at all. Really, AT ALL. Taco Bell - I don't like cheap mexican food. Subway I can really live without. Teriyaki sticks = yuck. I went for months without buying anything from the Cougareat until...the buffalo chicken wrap came into my life.

That's right. L&T broke me. Delicious soups, salads, rolls and wraps. Picture this: chicken strips, lettuce, celery, bleu cheese crumbles, and cucumbers on a delicious spinach tortilla, doused in a delicious bleu cheese and buffalo sauce mix. My mouth is watering.

I get it every time I go there, and I'm ashamed to say I go there a lot! At least once a week. It adds up because the wraps are $5.00. I'm thinking they lace the wraps with some addictive substance because I just keep coming back! Well, they say the first step in overcoming an addiction is admitting it to close family and friends, so it looks like I'm on the right track. For now, I think I'll go get myself a wrap.
