Introducing Tanya...

So Tanya is one of my roomates. She is from Russia and a very intersting girl. She stays up all night and sleeps during the day. She has a really hard time getting up for classes in the morning even when they start at two in the afternoon. She made these signs and posted them on the ceiling above her bed so she would see them when her alarm goes off in the morning.

She reported later that they did not work. Ha ha ha. She is so funny.

Colbie Caillat Concert!!!

I have the best BEST FRIEND!!

Waiting for the concert to start.

COLBIE!!!

So the concert was SUPER good!!! Justin Young opeend for Colbie and he was a really good singer. In between one of the songs Colbie told us that she suffers from stage fright and she is always is wondering what we are thinking about her. Well I can tell you what I was thinking about her. That she is freaking AWESOME!!! I think it is so interesting that someone that is so famous can still be insecure. It just shows yout that celebrities are normal people to.

Blast Off!!!

So over the weekend I went down to Idaho Falls to visit Sheree and her family. On Saturday we went to Blast Off which is an indoor playground. The best way to describe it is that it is like the McDonalds play thingys but so much bigger and better!! Kelsey came too! There was a sign that read 12 and under only but we just ignored that. :) We spent a couple of hours crawling through tunnels, playing in ball pits and racing through obstacle courses. It was so much fun! I got a very nice bruise on my knee from all of the crawling around. Squeezing through some rollers. It was very tight. :)

They had a pretty big ball pit which was actually pretty deep and you could get burried pretty easily. We tried to not think about how unsanitary it was in there. :)


Kelsey and I racing through the obstacle course. I'm trying to slide down the steps because I didn't want to run over Daniel and Rebekah. Yes kelsey did win.... :(

My Semester Thus Far

I got to go home for Thanksgiving! Yay! Spencer, Kimberli, Melissa & Thomas were also able to make it. It was a great trip and I really didn't want to come back to freezing Rexburg, but I did.

My delicious ham. I don't like turkey so I always make my Dad cook a ham. :) I'm spoiled. Plus its not Thanksgiving if you dont have a little bit of Miss Piggy. :)
Kimberli & Mom made some very fancy and delicious pies.

Roasting mallows in the fireplace. :)

On Halloween weekend I went and visited my realatives in Idaho Falls. Wayne & Diane had a whole bunch of leaves in their yard so we raked them up and then jumped in them! It was so much fun. Grandma and Grandpa even joined in. :) Spencer (Clark Kent) took some awesome air in his sweet Superman oufit! :)

It was so much fun jumping in the leaves and watching all of the little kids jumping. I fit right in. :)

Kelsey came and visited me in October. Ashley came over to help Kelsey and I get ready for a group date and then on Sunday we went to dinner at Ashley's.

I went horseback riding for the first time ever! It was way fun and relaxing! My horse was named Wimpy and he was a lot of fun!

Over conference weekend I went and stayed with my cousin Sheree in Idaho Falls. She had just had a baby a few weeks before so I got to see baby Hannah! She is so cute!!!

20. And probably the biggest thing of all ASHLEY'S WEDDING!!!! Kelsey and I drove out to Idaho together to be bridesmaids. We planned Ashley's Bridal Shower and Bachelorette Dinner. We had so much fun and now our little Ashwa is married. On the Saturday after the wedding Kelsey and I drove up to Yellowstone but we were so tired after the wedding that we only got out of the car a couple of times and we got a little slap happy. :) On the drive home back to WA we stopped at the paper trees and ran through them which is something that we have both wanted to do.

So in a nut shell. I had a pretty awesome summer.

Ashley's Engaged

Ashley is getting married! Ashley is my roomate of two years and best friend. She has found the love of her life and will be getting married this summer on August 14. I am so excited for her and Dan, her husband to be. Ashley has also asked me to be a bridesmaid, which I am really excitied about. The only problem is that this will be my third time being a bridesmaid. And you know what they say: "Three times a bridesmaid never a bride." Oh well ,who needs guys anyways right? :) I don't have any pictures of the happy couple together but when I get some I will post them so you all can see what a cute couple they are.
