Mentoring Update
Ann and I have done a lot of fun things lately. Over the past month we have been bowling and rollerskating. We also did a scavenger hunt around campus and went and played at the nickelcade. She is starting to warm up to me a little more and things are getting better.

Rodeo Trip

Here are a few pictures from our trip up to the rodeo. Tammy and Stacie had a great time. They loved the rodeo, the dairy, the family, and Idaho!

NEW JOB:
This week I started a new job as a secretary for BYU electric. It is still a little crazy because I am trying to learn who people are and how to do things. But I am loving it! It is a great job and I really enjoy what I do and the people I work with. It is great!

MENTORING:
The weather this week has been so beautiful so Ann and I got ice cream at the Creamery and then went to the park to eat and play on the toys. It was so fun and it is great to be able to play outside!

SUNDAY RAIN:
On Sunday we walked out of church to find it pouring. Of course it is the first Sunday that I hadn't worn a coat and there was only one way to get home, run! So, needless to say we got soaked!

Ward Valentine's Ball
Friday night our ward had a Formal Ball. Luckily mom and dad were coming down for the flash game so they brought me my dress (which everone loved!) They also had a poetry contest to pick royalty for the night. Although I didn't win it was fun to try to be creative!

SLEDDING!

Two weekends ago, I went sledding in the dark with head lamps to light the way. It was so much fun. John asked me to go the night before but by Saturday night he was the only one with a date so it was going to be me and the three boys. Lance invited Eliza at the last second and it was so much fun. We had hot chocolate when we got home. It was great!

Mentoring
Last week I started mentoring a 13 year old girl from Orem. Her name is Ann. She lives in a foster home and it is really good for her to be able to get away for a little while. On Friday we made cookies at my apartment and played some games. She is so cute.




















BYU Basketball
Wednesday night I went to the basketball game with Kelsey (from my ward) and a couple of her friends.

I finished my t-shirt quilt!

Happy New Year!

The Hannah Montana Wig!

(sorry Boo this one was just too cute to leave off the blog!)

Savior of the World
Last Thursday I went with my ward to Salt Lake to see Savior of the World. It was a wonderful way to start of December and be reminded of what we are celebrating this Christmas Season. It was also fun to be able to see the temple and the lights on Temple Square. They are so beautiful!With my friend John after the performance.

Festival Of Trees

A couple of weekends ago I went and volunteered at Festival of Trees. I answered questions and shared stories about the trees. It was amazing to see so many trees, gingerbread houses, wreaths, and centerpieces.

Football in the SNOW

It snowed all day so some people in the ward decided to go play a game of tackle football. It was so much fun!

Ward Talent Show

For the ward talent show our apartment did a jump rope routine. Kristen taught us some cool tricks and we definitely impressed the ward!

Happy Halloween!

Here are a few pictures from our ward Halloween party.

Weekend In BOISE!

This past weekend Kristen, Eliza, and I went home with Emily to Boise. We went for a walk along the Bosie River and enjoyed the beautiful fall weather, made caramel apples, had a fun Halloween dinner, and went to a corn maze. Then on our way back on Sunday afternoon we stopped my my house to have Dinner with my parents and Joelle. It was great!

We pretended to be fish at a fun little nature center.

Intramural Fun
This past week my flag football team tied and my volleyball team won four games to keep us in the tournament. The flag football game was pretty exciting. At halftime Eliza had to go to work and so we were playing with six while the opposing team had seven. It came down to the last couple of minutes when we were down 0 to 6 and the opposing team had the ball. With about a minute left I caught an interseption and we marched down the field and scored with about 4 seconds left in the game. It was a lot of fun. As for volleyball...we have been playing with four all month and continue to do so in the tournament. On tuesday we ended up playing with three because inbetween games Kristen Chambers rolled her ankle and couldn't play. But luckily we still won and we are still pressing on through the tournament. I will let you know how it goes! I hope everyone has a great week!

Regency 302

I am sorry that I have not blogged for over a month. School is going well and I am having a good time. My flag football team is 2 and 0 and we play again this Wednesday. I am also playing on a co-ed basketball team with brandon and we won our first game by about 40 and then tied our last game when Adam Christensen hit a three at the last second. I am also playing on a volleyball team but the results from that are not real impressive. We are yet to win a game and we will probably be done this week but it has been fun to play.
This weekend for conference...Saturday morning we made crapes and Brandon, Craig, and Bret came over to watch with us and then Sunday afternoon I we had a little Aspen Grove get together and watched conference and had dinner. It was a great weekend!

Stewart Falls Hike

A few weeks ago Caroline and the kids came up and we hiked to Stewart Falls. The girls did a great job hiking and it was fun to spend some time with them.

I love Aspen Grove

I have had a great time working at Aspen Grove as all of you know. Last Thursday I switched my standby assignment of working in the store so that I could go to the family dance. It was so much fun! Here are a few pictures with my friends from that night.

A couple of weeks ago a group of us floated down the Provo River after work. We had a great time and it felt great after cleaning all morning!

Weekend FUN!

It was so fun to go home this past weekend. Friday night Mom, Joelle, and I went to American Falls to Erin Mower's wedding reception and then I spent all of Saturday on the river with Brandon, Craig, Adam, and Nicole Lords. Sunday I went to church and then packed up my car for school. It is hard to believe that it is time to go back to school. Tuesday I moved most of my stuff into my new apartment and I am very excited for the fall and BYU FOOTBALL!

Fun at Aspen Grove
Sorry I haven't blogged for a long time. My wireless doesn't work very well and it doesn't stay connected long enough to get any pictures on. So I will blog my pictures from the past month when I go home this next weekend.
Yesterday we started our last full week family camp. After it is over we just have one more week with BYU Foundation of Leadership which is for incoming freshmen and then a mini family camp. It is hard to believe that the summer is already coming to an end but it has been a lot of fun.
Two weeks ago Caroline and the kids came up and we hiked to Stewart Falls. It was a lot of fun and the girls did great. Hilary even walked almost the whole way which isn't easy. Last weekend Mom and Joelle came down to do some school shopping and we went to the outdoor production of The Music Man in Orem. It was neat to have it outside and Mom loved it so I was glad they came down for it.
This past week has been a lot of fun. I went swimming almost every day and played ultimate frisbee, dodgeball, basketball, sand volleyball, and wallyball. Oh and don't worry I also managed to fit in some time to work as well. Friday, after we finished cleaning, a group of about 10 of us went and floated the Provo River. We had a great time and then came back up to camp to watch High School Musical 2.
Today I had kind of a fun surprise when Katie's friend Marie brought her son Spencer in to nursery. They are up here for the day with her husband's family before the head back home. It was fun to see her and her kids are very cute.
Just two more weeks!
