Ready to Enjoy the Holidays!
I am so ready for Thanksgiving! The fam is in town and I don't have to worry about homework for an ENTIRE week! I'm so glad that all of my projects, papers, and tests are done. All I have to worry about is finals! And that's not for another couple of weeks!
Life is great.
Happy Turkey Day!

Crazy Times
As many times as I have looked at blogspot this past month, I haven't taken the time to post anything.
School has been consuming our lives but thankfully we have been able to have a good time with our friends and family. First off, I'm happy to say that hopefully I will never have to take 17 credits in one semester again. It's been a nightmare trying to keep all of my classes straight and get everything done. There have been so many assignments and tests that I have been lucky to get them all done. I'll be glad when Thanksgiving is here, because after that, all I have to worry about is finals. Bryan has been pretty busy too with his classes. He is glad to be almost done so he can get onto his internship. It's crazy to think that he is graduating in June.
Halloween was a lot of fun. We carved a pumpkin with Liz and PJ on thursday and then we got to carve another one with our friends from the ward, Brit and Devon, the next night. On Halloween night, we went to a party a couple in our ward had and then we invited two other couples (the Burnetts and the Naylors) to come over to our place to watch The Sixth Sense. I hadn't seen the whole thing before, so it was fun to watch it.
Here's a couple picture to commemorate or pumpkin carving with the Burnetts.
AS you might have guessed, ours is the one on the left and the one in the center and on the right are Brit's and Devon's respectively. Hopefully, I will be able to post some pictures of the other pumpkin we carved with my sister and her husband. I also posted some more pictures on the THIS post, so head on over if you wanted to see pictures of horseback riding.

True Blue Football!
So, for the third year in a row, we have gone slipping and sliding down a hill covered in blue foam. If you are interested, go HERE to see pictures of last year's blue-fest. This year, we went with some friend from our ward, Matt and Alyssa Phillippi. There wasn't as much to do this time and we had to wait in line for a long time, but we still had a good time.

Mmmm...
Fall brings many great foods...
pumpkin pie
pumpkin bread
pumpkin bagels
pumpkin pie ice cream
mmm...
I love the other food too, like apples from Apple Hill delicious soups and stews, but there is something very fall-like about pumpkin that I love.
Now if only the leaves would change color finally...

September
So, I haven't been very good about writing this month, even though a lot has happened.
We started school...ugh. I'm taking 17 credits and hopefully I can make it through in one piece. My classes are pretty interesting, which makes it better. Bryan is in his last semester of classes before his internship, so he is pretty excited about that. His classes are really hard as well, so hopefully we will live to see the end of this semester. :)
During Labor Day weekend, my parents came up on their way to drop Kyle off at BYU-daho. It's kind of crazy to think that my little brother is in college, but he is enjoying it. We had a good time with my family that weekend and went to a family reunion. It was cool to see all of my cousins again, especially because they were the ones I was close to while I was growing up.
That weekend we also saw a play. A musical actually at a theater in West Valley. We saw The Scarlet Pimpernelle ( I think that is how to spell it, I'm too lazy to make sure it is right =D). It was amazing! We laughed a lot and were really impressed by the entire production. I wish we could have seen it again!
Lets see, what else have we done...
A couple weeks ago, we went horseback riding at our Bishop's house again. We went with our friends from our ward, and had a ton of fun. Here are some pictures!
Oh yeah, Bryan got called as the first counselor in one of the EQs in our ward. That was pretty eventful. And Bryan had to point out to the Bishop that I am "between callings." Hopefully I get to be on the birthday committee, or something like that.
Last night, we went to say goodbye to my old roommate before she reported to the MTC the next day (today). It was so good to see her again! I know she is going to be a great missionary. She is going to Rochester, NY, and more specifically, the Hill Cumorah Visitor's Center. It was hard to say goodbye, but I know that she is off to do a great work.
So, that in a nutshell has been September so far. Tonight, we have True Blue Football! I'm so excited! Hopefully I'll be able to post some pictures later.
Ciao!

Camping!
The last week of August, Bryan and I went camping with my parents and little brother to the redwoods in California. We had a blast! It was so beautiful there and really enjoyed spending time with my family.
I'm really glad we had the opportunity to go. It was a ton of fun. I love camping! I love to be out in nature and not have to worry about anything. Except mosquito bites, which I got a lot of. I wish we could have stayed longer!
