July 4th!

Happy 4th! For the holiday Jenn (my roommate and close friend) let me tag a long for all of her fun family activities and it was a blast! The first activity on the list was a pancake breakfast followed by a shaving cream fight with her ward. Apparently this is a tradition. Everyone brings there own shaving cream and goes at it and then the Fire truck comes and hoses everyone off! It was seriously so much fun and I recommend it to all!






I personally think that I look like Matt in this picture...or just like a boy in general... haha


This is with Jenn, her sister, uncle and cousins, they were all so much fun!Here comes the fun part! The firemen go up really high on their ladder and spray 2 hoses down on the crowd like it's raining. The hose was pretty powerful and knocked some down but for the most part it was just really cold!

After that we had a BBQ at Jenn's parents, friends and family came and then we launched water balloons at Jenn's aunt and uncle. It was a blast!
Don't worry I didn't forget about the stadium of fire, I just haven't uploaded those one's yet. Over all this was one of the best if not the best 4th I have ever had! It was so action pact! I'm so grateful for my friends and their families that are so welcoming to me and serve me constantly, without them, I would probably be homesick more often. I love them and am so grateful for their kindness!

D-Land!

So I got to Go to Disney land with some of my best friends that are also my roomates ( with the exception of Newman) at BYU! Jenn's uncle works for D-land and he was kind enough to let us not only stay at his house but to get us in to Disney land and California Adventure for FREE! It was a blast, we went to the beach and went swimming in their pool, jumped on their trampoline, watched movies, ate lots of ice cream and celebrated being done with finals early! It was honestly one of the funnest trips ever and I'll never forget it!



In this picture Ronnie ticked off tinker bell and so she wouldn't smile in any of the pictures, Jenn and I couldn't stop laughing we thought it was so funny, as for Ronnie, well she doesn't like Tink very much any more :)

Spring is Here!

...and so are finals! Hooray! March has been one of the funnest months ever! I can't believe that the semester is almost over. I've decided to come home for the Spring and then to come back and work full time in Provo for the Summer. But before I move onward into summer bliss I wanted to post some of my favorite pictures from March!My best friend Nicole and I at bridal veil falls
This is at my NERDTASTIC birthday party! It was amazing! We even had a rock,paper, scissors tournament with a bracket and prizes!

The Wrights especially grasped on to the opportunity to dress up! (Ryan came as himself)

So there is this Hindu tradition where people gather to celebrate the coming of spring and they do this by throwing colored flower into the air. It's really fun and crazy! This is our before shot
...AFTER....
you can see the giant crowd of mostly BYU and UVU students and the Hindu temple in the backroundAnd lastly Janai came over for a sleepover! It was a blast! We did our hair matching, nails, watched girly movies, talked about boys, made cookies and then decorated picture frames and then took pictures to put in the frames. It was so much fun and I loved having the opportunity to spend time with my niece. I know it will be one of those times that we'll look back on as a fun memory we had.

It's been forever

So I've decided to update me blog! So exciting isn't it? I thought I would just put up some pictures of highlights of winter semester so you all can enjoy them! So here they are....
The one above this is when my roomate Jenn and my serget roomate Ronnie and I went 80's dancing...I think dressing up was the best part...





This one is of jenn, ronnie and I when we went to see music and the spoken word. We also had a chance to stop in at Grandma Crane's and it was so much fun to get to have my friends meet her. They especially enjoyed her stories from her trip to Europe.
Megan Aulick came to see me in January and we had a blast. We went sledding and just caught up. I hadn't seen her for 4 years, but it really felt like it had only been 4 days. I loved spending time with her and she had so much fun she said that she wanted to come back every weekend.
So lets just say I love where I'm living now. And one of the main reasons is this girl right here. I used to work with Jenn and we became good friends. She told me her roomate was moving and so I took her spot and I couldn't be happier. This particular picture is of us pretending to be in a Gap add. I thought Traci would especially like this since I am wearing the best scarf ever!


So there is is my life in 4 pictures :) I'm having a lot of fun and I'm always busy with school. This semester seems to be one of the hardest ones I've had, but it's also been really fun in a lot of ways. I am constantly reminded of how blessed I am to be at BYU and there is no other place I would rather be!

Mo-Tab

So these past 2 days I've had the opportunity to see 2 AMAZING PERFORMANCES! First was the World of Dance at BYU and it was incredible! I loved it and never wanted it to end. The second was see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in Salt Lake. They had 2 guest singers and they were AMAZING! AHH! they were so good! My eyes were watering during 2 of the songs that the male guest sang. He was so good! I also brought my friend Ashley and we ate dinner at Grandma Crane and Grandpa Betillion's house and played chinese checkers. I won once, and Ashley one the other time but that is only because Grandma let us win and practically played for us since we didn't know what we were doing.
These are pics of the tabernacle and Ashley and I. They were taken on my phone because we weren't allowed cameras in the conference center.

GO COUGARS!

So I went to my first football game as a sophmore! woop woop! it was awesome! We won 59 to 0! pretty amazing. As we were walking out Logan and I ran into Cosmo and got a picture taken! Logan was so excited! and later we saw the cosmobile. The game was pretty fun but meeting Cosmo made it even better!









This is a Picture of My friend Ashley and I. She is one
of my best friends from California. It's fun having her
up at BYU.

BYU

So I have decided to update my blog! and with Tracis help I was able to customize it too! I know it's pretty cool looking but don't be jealous. So I don't really have any fun pictures as of yet but I can tell you how my first couple of weeks have been. I've had a really fun time but it has also been stressful. Apparently this class that I'm taking, intro to seminary teaching, decides whether I will move on in this major or not. Scary...so this semester could make or break my dream proffesion. It's really crazy.
But despite the intense homework assignments and projects that have already been assigned I have managed to have some fun. I went on a triple date last friday and it was actually a lot of fun. I went with my old roomate Nicole and her cousins and his roomates. We went to cafe rio and then to comedy sports. It was hillarious! The funny thing is I didn't even want to go on the date. Not because of the guy I was going with, I'm just not a big fan of first dates when I don't know the person and it's so awkward. Fortunatly this date wasn't awkward at all! I'm starting to notice a diff. between dating freshman boys and RM's ...
Anyways life is good, having new roomates is always an adjustment and it's the same with new classes and a new year but I'm excited to meet my ward this sunday and see what adventures await me at BYU!
