BiRtHdAy WeEk!!!! :)

This last week i considered it to be my birthday week!! Went to chili's with Colette and it was delish!





And then Thursday morning since it was Fall break and i didn't have classes Thursday or Friday my uncle Chris came and picked me up. I spent the weekend with them! Thursday afternoon i helped my aunt with my cousin Matthew's Halloween party, it was so cute!




 I then hung with my cousins Josh and Mason and we watched movies and YouTube videos. And then Friday i helped with my cousin Rachel's Halloween party! There were twenty 9 year old!! I was in charged of fear factor and it was so funny to watch the girls!


   Mason is 16 now!!! Just driving around with him rocking out to music!

Rachel was a devil!!! hahaha

                 Flour war with Josh! I won!!!!

Shana and Kaela then came over and stayed the night and then we went to Salt Lake Saturday to The Gateway and went shopping! My parents sent me a gift card so i went and blew it all and bought some cute clothes!




 We then went back to my aunt and uncles and they took us out for pizza! Shana and Kaela then left back for Logan because they had a Halloween party. My fam then took me to go see Cowboys and Aliens, and i loved it!!! There was one part that kind of scared me and i found myself in the lap of my 6 year old cousin hahahaha. We went back home then and i found out josh signed me up for ldssingles.com as my birthday present hahaha What a fun night! Josh asked me for a list of what i want for my birthday and i decided to put down impossible things like an airplane, to meet Betty white, a car, etc. I then put a boyfriend...hahaha well we know where that lead me! Then Sunday afternoon after church, they made me a birthday dinner, sweet pork burritos, my favorite, and cake and ice cream!! Shana came down for it and it was great!



Then we and Shana headed home and i had friends waiting for me with dinner and more cake!


                     Jackoby made me a cake!


 I had a great birthday! I intentionally wanted to go home because i am super homesick, but being with my extended family helped a lot! Shana was the best too! Driving down there with me and spending the day with me! I love her a lot! And Michelle and Chris my aunt and uncle were so amazing!! They spoiled me rotten and i love them and am so grateful for them!!


                        Me and Aunt Michelle!



Colette was best too! She made amazing cakes for me and my birthday buddy, her boyfriend, Brian! And she got me an elephant pillow pet what i wanted!!! I named Tantor after the movie Tarzan!!!




 I am soooo grateful for the people in my life who love me! I also then skyped with my family and they sang to me and i opened my present in front of them! Not gonna lie... i cried! Me being an emotionally baby and super homesick! But it was nice to see their faces!




Mitch my great friend, threw me and Brian and Stevie and dance birthday party the week before! It was crazy fun with the strobe light and all! I am so blessed with all the people in my life! :)

                       Mitch, he's the best!!!



                                                                                             Birthday girls and boy!!!

Love my girls!!! :)

It's been real CRAZY!!!!

It has been crazy these last couple of weeks! I have like no time for anything it seems lol. But i have found out that yes, college is harder than high school. After not doing so hot on a couple of exams, i realized that college isn't all about the social life, there is work too! After class i work at the on campus library and that is where i get all my hw and studying done, so that is a plus! I also meet so many people working there, i love it!!! I have had a lot of fun so far and have made some great friends! But i have definitely missed home and am home sick! I miss my Sib's a lot but lately i have been missing McKayla A LOT!!!! She has so many stories from high school and she is growing up and i want to be there for her! Same with Steve, i wish i could go to all his sport games and be there for him! He is such a stud and makes me so proud!



Tonight me and Aimee went to some friends house and carved pumpkins! It was a lot of fun! I actually really enjoy cleaning pumpkins out now, i use to hate it!




Oh Brandon was in Logan last Saturday and me and Aimee got go to the football game with him! He leaves on his mission in a couple of weeks so it was super exciting to see him again before he left since we wouldn't get the chance to go to his farewell! I'm gonna miss that kid! we sure did have quite a few memories! hahaha




Also, i love being here because i see my big sis all the time! i have definitely missed that the last couple of years! It nice to know she is just 5 minutes away if i need her! We have gotten so much closer and she is one of my best friends!!!
