because it is october

because it is almost halloween

we went to the pumpkin patch

and picked us out some pumpkins

(they are all currently just sitting on our counter,

not really sure what is going to happen with them)

(SO photogenic)

A glorious thing happened today

2 of my classes ended

that's right

2 block classes - OVER!

There is so much joy in my heart right now due to this

and because I get to babysit my nephew on wednesday

and because there are ridiculous, and some great, pictures of me and the roomies up on fbook

Yes my heading is one of them

One sunday we had a picnic up the canyon

and maybe did a little roommate photoshoot as well

and here are some more, just for your viewing pleasure

Thanks to Jenna for taking these great gems

(Our attempt at a cheesy pose, that actually turned out)

(typical)

There are 3 new girls at work. For those of you who are not aware, I work with a lot of males and typically am the only girl on my shift. Essentially it is like I have a billion brothers, and it is great most of the time. So back to the new girls. They all seem really nice but unfortunately I don't work with them a lot. But recently I have been hearing how most of the guys in the NOC think these new girls are so attractive and they all want to ask them out. Well let me just tell you that the numbers do not really work out. 3 girls, and about 10, or more, guys. This could be some good drama, which I will love to watch. Should be interesting to see how this all works out.

Unfortunately Conference Weekend was not as great as I wanted it to be. I missed both of the saturday sessions and had a hard time staying awake on sunday... oops! I will be repenting and watching all of the sessions again. BUT I did get to go to Temple Square, which I love, and spend time with some of my favorite people, including Miss Morgan Wood, who came all the way from Arizona to play with me. (okay she really came for conference, but I like to pretend it was for me)

I hate that she can wear her hair in an asian bun and still be adorable

My dad's cousin Jason, who was in town from Virginia for a book signing

I also got to see my parents this weekend, which is always enjoyable

And Melanie came to play with Morgan so I got to see her as well and I am glad she came

In 2 weeks 2 of my classes are going to be over and I cannot wait

my mondays and wednesdays are about to be glorious

I should really start writing my papers earlier than an hour before they are due...

Lady Gag me

She is a freak show, and...

as much as I love some of her music I feel like this article is very good.

Thanks to Andrea for having it open on her computer.

I am three weeks into the semester and still alive

I don't love all of my classes, in fact I dislike most of them

But... I am hanging in there

I am loving my job

and my roommates

We had a party last weekend and it was AMAZING

Thanks to everyone who came to see my new house and party with me

Special shout-out to G&G Bohn who came all the way from Nevada (maybe not specifically for my party but they still put in a special appearance)

Thanks to my AWESOME roommates that I love

Life is so great living with them

I LOVE work these days. I am on a new shift and I thought that was going to be super hard since I was very attached to my previous shift

But I kind of like this new one

I have great student supervisors and a lot of the people from my old shift came to my new one with me

I just love all my NOC boys

They are my boys

and they are good

seriously

Wish me luck this weekend as my 3 favorite roomies are going up north

and leaving me all alone
