Happy Thanksgiving!




Thanksgiving this year was wonderful! We spent the day at our good friends the Clark's. The day was full of food, laughter, pie, games and lots of fun.

I have alot to be grateful for, and I have had alot of time to reflect on that this week since I was asked to give a talk this Sunday on gratitude. I would not even know where to begin, but I know I have the Lord to thank for all that I have and I hope I can continue to show my thanks every day and not just on thanksgiving.

I would usually still be sleeping...

Instead I have already
-gone to the gym
-did a little homework
-finished a load of laundry
-cleaned the bathroom
-vaccuumed my room
-took a little nap
-showered

...and it's not even noon yet! I love productive mornings.

Winter anxious

I just registered for my classes next semester and I am very excited because for once I got the schedule I planned out!
16 credits--2 health science, 2 sociology, and finally the second half of anatomy and physiology.
I am very anxious for what the winter semester has to bring.



I am even more excited to live with my 3 best friends in our new apartment. It will finally be just the four of us and no one else. We are very happy about this.

Surprise!

Alright so I have realized that I still have some more catching up to do and I'm really not sure what has taken me so long. I am going to start about 3 weeks ago, on October 18th to be exact. One of the main reasons I went out to Idaho in the first place for the week...but I suppose I will start at the beginning.
So Sunday afternoon Brittany, Peggy and I spent our last few hours enjoying the beautiful fall scenery in Salt Lake.

We went to this really big famous park and had a picnic. It was nice.

Then we went up to temple square and hung out for a little bit before we headed back to Rexburg.
Sunday was Kristyne's 21st birthday and ever since I started talking about going to visit, Peggy and Brittany kept coming up with all of these ideas to surprise Kristyne by bringing me back to their apartment.
This was their "brilliant" idea...

Trust me, I was very surprised I fit too.

So before I went into their apartment they made sure that Kristyne was in her bedroom and told her to wait there while they wrapped her "present". As I tried so desperately to fit into the suitcase I begged them to tell her to hurry so I could get out of that little thing. When she came upstairs and realized someone was in the suitcase she had noo idea who it could be and thought it was another friend who was trying to scare her. She nervously opened it up...

And was soo surprised!

It was so fun!

Finally reunited once again!

We finished the night off by celebrating the way a birthday should be...

With all of our best friends!
