Homecoming Happenings and Other Lately Things

Just some of last week's events...

Kim's powder puff game

Wow, how proud am I of my roommate for being a football player during homecoming week. So proud.

During the game we took awkward pictures and yelled obnoxious things at Kim. And got really mad when Kim wasn't playing. "Put Kim back in!!! Let her play!!!" She is lucky to have us.

Next up, dinner at Center Street Grill.

This is not what I ate there, but is an example of what can happen to you at Center Street Grill.

On Saturday, I had a great morning at the temple with Alexa!

We probably should have taken a picture beforehand, instead of right after we showered, but ya know. Our morning was especially great since we swung by the farmers' market on our way back. We sampled Lebanese food, the best tamales I have ever tasted (which we went back for more than once), and lots of fruit and bread. Life's good to us!


That night was the Homecoming Game! 

White-Out Game! USU vs. UNLV

I am in that picture somewhere; I found myself at one point. We got to sit in the 6th row on the 50 yard line! So great. I love my Aggies! I cannot WAIT for tomorrow night!

After the game I met up with my dear Lauren Hillman at McKenna's house. I had seen McKenna earlier that day at her lemonade stand....of course...but it'd been more than a week since I'd seen Lauren so I was excited! McKenna lives in this great big house that's always full of people. We ended up playing night games..in the house. We were playing this terrifying game called Minotaur... I always get scared super easily in situations like that, so I was freaking out, but the fact that Lauren was basically having heart palpitations was making it a bit better for me. But when we started playing Murder in the Dark...Lauren and I just silently slipped out of the house when they turned the lights off because we couldn't take it. I was the murderer too. Sorry, guys! We went and got Wendy's instead and had a life talk in Lauren's apartment. Love you, Lauren!

Sunday, our friend from upstairs, Caitlin, took our roommate pictures for us.

I am the blue pants roommate. This is just a preview she showed us and I'm excited to see the rest! We had a good time.

Monday was Alexa's birthday! She is a great room roommate! We had kind of a white trash party for her but she loved it. We wrapped her presents in tin foil (she got teddy grahams, decorations for her side of the room, Spongebob boxers, and a zebra striped thong), wore party hats and blew noisemakers, and danced around the kitchen for probably two hours. I got Alexa a crown at the dollar store that just said, "Birthday" on it. Not Happy Birthday. Not Birthday Girl. Just Birthday. Alicia made the most amazing, beautiful desert! Nutella cheesecake with whipped cream and shaved chocolate on the top. With all the baking and cooking that girl does, she's gonna snag a husband soon for sure!

 Let's just say the night ended with Alexa dancing down the hallway outside in her new thong. Don't worry, she had her leggings underneath. Otherwise we'd have a lot more friends.

October 1st was also my sweet Mallory's birthday! I am so proud of her and inspired by her decision to serve a mission. Miss you, Mallor!

Living it up on Mission Beach! Those were good times.

Mal always supports my dreams of being a model.

This week, I finally got to teach an entire class period. The students in the 7:30 am class I help in usually act dead and will not talk. But today they did! And they were all writing too! Just get them talking about the dress code and suddenly you can't shut them up. Ninth graders are smart. Smarter than we give them credit for.

Also, I have been trying to be a responsible citizen lately. I watched the first presidential debate during work on Wednesday night. Ruined everyone else's evening. But I loved having Abbie and Rachel texting me about it the whole time because they are hilarious. We try to mock everyone equally, but Mitt makes that hard with his creepy smile. And today during work I got on vote.utah.gov and looked at my sample ballot....read about every single candidate for everything. It took about three hours. I know, you can imagine the wild times. But I am really excited to vote!

Vote responsibly!

Tonight I finally saw the new Spiderman movie at the dollar theater! Alexa, Abbie, and Aubree and I went together and had some good times. I really have only been hanging out with people whose names start with A. I like going to the dollar theater because you basically have it to yourself, so you can bring blankets and put your feet up and act like you live there. At least that's what I do. I also like to be able to talk loudly enough that at least all the people who came with me can hear my hilarious commentary.

so awkwardly cuuuute!

I'm so pleased that it is almost Friday right now that I am almost excited for the boys downstairs to start playing the Rebecca Black Friday song exactly 12 hours from now. Never fails.
