Final Potluck, English Class, and the Temple

The last Sunday of the semester our neighbors held a potluck. Our neighbors were amazing and Taura and I are so glad that 4 out of 6 of them are staying! There was never a dull moment with them! You could always hear them wrestling and laughing!

Roomies!


Cory, Patrick, Sam, and Katelyn


My English class was amazing! It was incredibly hard though! (Words cannot even begin to express the difficulty of that class! Detail by request) However, I know the name of everyone in my class and we are very good friends! This was a part of our final project. Our entire class got together on a freezing cold night and took a picture to put in a book of what we learned over the semester. Half of our class is either from Texas or California. We just had to laugh at them.



Absolutely beautiful! That's all I have to say!

Roomies! Gotta love them!

The Saturday before finals Katelyn, Becky, Taura and I said, "What the heck? Lets have a sleepover!" So we pulled our mattresses to the living room and stayed up till 4AM laughing, cleaning, and just having a great time!



Bridal Shower!

My lovely roommate, Samantha, got married in the Seattle Temple on the 20th of December, 2008. We got to throw a bridal shower for her and had a blast!

Toilet Paper Wedding Dresses! Classic!

This is Sam...sideways...sorry.

Sam's sister made all the food! Mmm!!

Warning!!!

If you lay around our apartment, expect embarrassing pictures to be taken!
This is our amazing friend, Ashleigh! She decided to take a nap on our couch so Becky and I decided to put the leftover balloons from Sam's bridal shower on her. Becky got a little happy with the permanent marker...

Thanksgiving Weekend

I got to go home for a whole week over Thanksgiving! Gotta love BYU-I! Chris and Michelle (and their kids), Grandma and Grandpa Southwick, my family, and Patrick were all at my family's home for Thanksgiving. There was so much food and we had so much fun! After my family was done questioning Patrick we ate and then went to an amzing park! It was a castle! Quincy and Brinnly were so cute! We had an intense game of tag and then went home to eat dessert.











Friday night Patrick, Issac, Sam, Amy, and I went to temple square. It was so amazing and I ran into a couple of people that I knew from Kimberly!

Saturday my family and I went to the zoo! There were so many monkeys! I was content!

My Accomplishment

I can officially dance again! I had the opportunity to go to the Manwaring Center and go Latin dancing with Becky and Patrick on Friday and had so much fun! I didn't have any problems with my knee! It was great to get back on my feet and learn the dance that dislocated my knee in the first place! (For those of you who don't know, yes I dislocated my knee learning how to salsa dance. It has now been declared the most dangerous dance know to knees.)

FHE/Ward Halloween Party!












Monday night we had a Ward Halloween Party in which we competed the other FHE groups. We had a relay with multiple activities that we placed 4th in, had a pudding eating contest that my group forced me to do, (yuck!!!) and a donut on a string eating contest that my roomie, Becky, placed first in! Taura made some oreo truffles that were absolutely amazing! (and easy!) We took first place in the desserts and Taura and I won cutest couple! Woot! That was such a fun night! I love my FHE group! (You'll notice in the group picture that there is only one guy...well, we have a total of 3 guys but they aren't big fans of FHE...but we all love Patrick!)

Ropes Course!!!

Today my ward got to go to the ropes course! It was a blast! I was very worried because I didn't know what I'd be able to do with my knee. I was able to do everything! We started at the giant swing. (You are pulled up 30-35 feet in the air and released and you just swing!)



Please watch this movie. It has all my pics on it but I couldn't get is onto here. (I'm not very technology savy)

Ropes Course 10/18/08


The girl who wouldn't drop is my lovely Taura. She HATES rollarcosters because she hates the feeling that you get when you drop. If you listen closely you can hear her say, "Can we go lower?" and then Ashleigh, her old roommate says, "Suck it up!" So funny!

I was so afraid that I wouldn't be able to do much that day. I took some ibuprofin and dived right in. I climbed to the top of that tower and was so proud of myself. I was pretty sore the next day though!

OUR FIRST ROAD TRIP!!!

There is a girl up here that is one of my favorite people in the whole world! Her name is Ashleigh and is my roomie's, Taura, old roommate. She is absolutely darling and hilarious! She is also very spontaneous and loves to travel. She came up to me the other day and said, "We are going to an opera in Salt Lake on Thursday. Are you going to come?" It was going to be a rehearsal night so it was three dollars a ticket (with our student discount!) and was absolutely incredible! Ashleigh drove and got us horribly lost. Her childhood friend, Frank, sat shotgun and two of my roommates and I sat in the back.
Katelynn went to a different concert so we dropped her off at a parking garage. We were lucky that the parking garage was deserted because we all changed into our "opera attire". We got into our formals (Frank was in a suit) and walked over to the Capital Theater.
The show we saw was called Madame Butterfly. Apparently it's a world famous play but I had never heard of it. They showed captions on a screen so we could understand. I definately recommend this show! It's so funny and sad!
Frank posing on the stairs.
Ashleigh...so cute!
TauraLee and Ashleigh! Looking good!
Me (wearing my $180 dollar dress that I got for $30!), TauraLee (my roomie), Ashleigh (she hates wearing dresses and curling her hair. This picture is proof that she is a cute girl!), and Frank (he stayed awake the whole 3.5 hour drive to keep me awake while I drove home.)
Ashleigh (once again) She is such a work of art sitting on a work of art!
