Updates . . .

Okay .... prepare yourselves for a picture overload :)

This is a catchup post. I've been behind for far too long so i'm gonna catch you all up on what's been going on in my life these past few months .... sorry for the long post but I know it had to happen some time.

B.o.B. CONCERT:

In October a group of us went to the B.o.B., Iyaz, Jason Derulo, and Auburn concert. It was so much fun!

On the way to the concert 

Going to get in line

The whole group of us waiting to get in

SO EXCITED :)

About to start ...

 B.o.B!!!!!!!

Uh Oh ... Concert foul, Ke$ha played in between the performances

Albert didn't approve.

 And neither did Trent.

 We had so much fun!! Maybe someone else will come next semester and we'll get to go to another concert :)

FOOTBALL SEASON:

Well football season has come to an end. It was a rough season but the team got it together and they ended up winning their bowl game. Here are some pictures from one of the last games of the season.

It was sunny, surprisingly.

 Oh look! Trev made it to the game.

 Trent's Airplane that he thought would make it to the football field . . . It didn't by the way.

HARRY POTTER PARTY:

The night before the opening of the 7th Harry Potter movie Eric and I decided we wanted to throw a pre-potter party.

We got decorations from his work and made Potter themed treats.

We played trivia games and pin the scar on Harry.

HARRY POTTER 7 PART 1:

We went to the opening night of the new Harry Potter movie. Eric and Alyssa Esquibel went early to save us a spot in line. Since they were there waiting, Alyssa and I decided to go and grab something to eat before hand. We went to the Italian place for the first time. It was so good and definitely somewhere that we will be going again.. 

Our spot savers...

Roommates :)

 We all made these matching Gryffindor shirts ... it was fun making them.

I attempted having some fun with the monopod. It didn't work out so well . . . 

 Eric hates the monopod for some reason so he finds the need to ruin the picture :)

ROOMMATE SHINANNIGANS:


Well one day Alyssa, Jess and I were sitting at home over thanksgiving break and had an idea. We wanted to get something to eat, go shopping and do something slightly sneaky. Here's the picture proof. I'll leave the sneaky act up to your imagination :)

BYU BASKETBALL:

Basketball season is in full swing!! I love any BYU sport and over the years while I have been at BYU I have grown to really love watching basketball.

A couple of weekends ago a whole group of people from my ward went to the basketball game in energy solutions arena. We had so much fun, even if our seats were at the top of the arena...

Then we went and got pizza at the Pizza Pie Cafe after the game. 

It was a fun day. I look forward to the rest of the season this next semester.

TIS THE SEASON:

The Christmas season always means coming home to lots of baking. The night after I came home we had to get all of the sweets ready for our Christmas party the next day. It was fun baking all night and this was the delicious result to our madness. (Even though I couldn't eat them)

I think that leaves you all caught up now... Except for the pictures I have of Christmas on my NEW camera :) I'll add those soon.

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas :) I know that I did! Sorry again for the long post.

Creativity Project

So.... for my Doctrine and Covenants class this semester I was supposed to make a creative project. I decided to make a blog about Emma Smith. Here is the blog: http://anelectlady.blogspot.com/

I have a favor to ask. If you have time I would absolutely love it if you could look at the blog and comment on one of the posts. You can share a story or just say anything but it would really help with my project. Thank you in advance and I hope that you enjoy it :)

P.S. It's almost Christmas!!

Tyler and Nicole's Wedding!

I'm still trying to catch up.... Last month Tyler and Nicole got married!! It was so much fun to be there and share their special day with them. The night before the wedding we went to a rehearsal dinner in Midway. I love the drive there and the cabin that the dinner was in was awesome! Everyone had the nicest things to say about Tyler and Nicole (not a big surprise!) and I got to finally meet Nicole's family. They are fabulous!

My Mom and Sister flew out for the wedding which was so much fun. I don't usually get to see them mid semester so it was fun! They camped out on the floor of my apartment and just hung out all weekend. I was glad that I don't have classes on Thursdays or Fridays so I got to spend the whole weekend with them.

The wedding was on Friday. They had an open house and dancing later that night. It was good to see everyone!

Me and my Sister!

Me and my adopted sister

Me and my adopted Mama!

The other newlyweds. Love them!

Cuttin a rug

Two of my favorite people

I loved the cake! It was so cool.

It was such a great day and an even better visit with my Mom and sister. Not much longer and I'll get to see them again :)

Geez, I'm behind!

I was looking at my pictures and I am behind on updating this. I have been busy and haven't been able to really update since Alyssa's birthday... So here it goes. This is what I have been up to the last couple of weeks....

At the End of September we went to a women's conference on campus. The guest speaker was NIENIE!!! Okay so her name is Stephanie Nielson but Nienie too. You may be asking, "Who the heck is Nienie?" If you are, shame on you :) Ok maybe not but you should check her out. She writes the blog: nieniedialogues.blogspot.com

Stephanie was in a serious plane crash a couple of years ago which burned most of her body. She now blogs professionally about her life and making it through the day to day things in her new condition. It was so great to hear her speak. She was very motivational and her story is truly inspirational. Women's Services had planned for 1600 people to come and view the conference and almost 3000 showed up. I was first in line so we got great seats! It was really amazing!

Erin with Megan's baby, Elijah! He just loved the spots on her jacket.

Julia came with a couple of her friends. Her and Alyssa were SO excited. Stephanie's sister Jane was there too so Alyssa was so happy. She reads her blog too.

Look at how big Elijah is getting!

Megan and Elijah came with us! It was so fun to see them and catch up :)

Her speech was so good. And her and her husband are so cute together, they are truly a great example for how every couple should be!

LADIES NIGHT!!!

Every 6 months my church has a general conference where we get to hear from the general authorities of the church all weekend long! It's so great. I look forward to it every time. Every year since our freshman year we have done a Conference Campout. We all pull our mattresses into the living room and sleep out there all weekend long. It's so much fun and such a great tradition.

Every Saturday Night during conference weekend the men attend a session of conference just for the priesthood. While the boys were at priesthood session we went to Comedy Sportz for a Ladies Night celebration. Admission is half off for the ladies and it's always a great show. It was fun to hang out with just the girls :)

CHECK US OUT!!!

It's been a fun couple of weeks. There are still more pictures to come. I told you, I'm behind!
