Going alone IS ok and I WILL do it!

Dear roommate(s),
Don't tell me it's pathetic to go to institute, choir, ward prayer, family home evening and everything else by myself. If you think you're too cool to actually be a part of things and have friends then fine, no one is stopping you. But all i ask is that you don't humiliate me in front of the people that you are partying with. I'm not going to please you, I'm going to go to these activities for my benefit. NOT for you at all. just respect it.

The winning team!

this is the champion team of catch phrase (Left: Jana, Dusty, Amanda, Israel, And Brinlee) catch phrase is played in apt. 212 EVERY friday night without fail! everyone gets really into it around here :) so i just thought i should document the photo of the team that can not be beat! (watch just cause i said that we are going to loose this friday haha just kidding)

only in utah :)

We were in the parking lot of Buy Low and here is what we found. At first we thought that it had to be a joke but no this is really how it was. i don't know how they did it but i guess they just needed a couple extra seats so they built an extension for their vehicular unit.....the utah limo!

Kristen and her obsession corn

Kristen my roommate from Iowa that is OBSESSED with corn. (girl in pink pants) One night i come home from institute and she is shucking (sp?) corn in our front room. all i could do is laugh and she had to tell me the whole story of her finding some farmers market and they fresh corn so she stopped at bought some! just right there on the side of the road, it was amazing. (i guess Iowa doesn't do farmers markets) So we had quite the corn party that night! it was great!

late night boredom

sorry this seems like all at once but i have a lot of catching up to do. so here goes! My good friend Alisia lives in the apartment right above me and she is REALLY in to cooking. so a couple of weeks ago i get a phone call in the middle of the night and she says she is SOO bored and want to do something. I told her to come down and we would find something. she came down with a huge bowl and everything to make a dessert with. none of my roommates were home so we just got to it! and when i say "we" i mean she started baking and i was told to sit at the bar and put the cupcake paper cups in to the muffin tins.....needless to say she only like to cook by her self. haha that's ok though, cause it's not my favorite thing to do at one o'clock in the morning. so instead of helping, haha i made a tower of cupcake papers! now THAT takes some amazing talent!

watermelon carving

:) This is my Home Evening group's beautiful yet very special watermelon that we carved one of the first activities we had after I moved here to the big Pro-of-O. (provo) It was great! i think we had more fun getting all the watermelon out of the insides and spitting the seeds then we did actually carving it. the only downside was there was sticky juice EVERYWHERE FOREVER! we had it at my apartment and we had a sticky counter and floor for weeks. everytime you think you get it all you took another step and found some more. but that's ok, it was worth it. :)
