Halloweenie

So, I moved into a new house recently... and my roommates are PRETTY rad.  We've been fully taking advantage of the fall and Halloween season.  We've carved pumpkins, made apple cider, watched scary movies, and even took a visit to Ted Bundy's house...  its been awesome. 

(there's 6 of us that live here... and whenever we tell people that, they always feel bad for us... 6 people in one house?!  but really its AWESOME.  couldn't be any more perfect)

family dinner for Alaina's birthday

 Carving pumpkins... can you tell which one is mine??

 ... making apple cider.  Alaina's friend has an apple press so we made about 12 gallons of apple juice the other night... SO MUCH FUN!! 

I love Halloweeeeen...

Holly's Birthday Weekend

 Holly just had a birthday and it was kind of a big deal... so we went on a trip together. It didn't quite work out exactly as expected but it was still AWESOME.  Holly got to have her first standby experience and unfortunately it wasn't too lucky. Our original plan to go to Hawaii got VETOED so we went to San Diego instead. Although it was a bit disappointing, Holly and I could of had a good time together if we were stuck in an elevator for the weekend... So San Diego wasn't too bad of a deal.

We ate ALL WEEKEND LONG and it was totally worth it.

I took Holly to Extraordinary Desserts, next time you are in San Diego you should probably stop by.

We tried to get some sun and managed to find a few rays.... and while the sun was hiding we walked around Torrey Pines.  Not quite Hawaii but still beautiful.

 So glad I have a girl like Holly in my life.  She's always been an amazing friend.  I know I can always count on her whenever I have a problem, need advice, or am looking for a good time.  We decided that we are definitely best friends because even though we got our fair share of frustrating, annoying, exhausting, and disappointing experiences at the airport, we never once got sick of each other.  Instead we laughed until we cried, ate tons of great food, laid out at the beach, met up with friends and family, and had a grand ol' time.  Thank you Holly for being born and for always being so great.  Sorry the weekend wasn't quite the paradise you were expecting, but I'm glad we got spend it together.

happy fall...

So, I haven't blogged in a while. But I had some time on my hands today so I thought I would say hello... I'm in Dayton, OH and the leaves are changing here and its beautiful. I love the fall, but I hate that it means winter is on its way. I am excited for carving pumpkins, haunted houses, and holiday treats though!

A few things have changed since I last participated in the blogging world. For one, I moved to a new house in Salt Lake City. Its pretty much the cutest thing on the planet, and my roommates are awesome so I'm pretty stoked. One of my roommates owns the house and she recently redid it all and it looks great. If you ever come over you are totally going to be jealous... its THAT cute. The other day we celebrated my other roommate Alaina's birthday. We had a concert in our backyard and it was awesome. A bit cold but the music was great. St. Boheme, Gothen, and Matteo played and all did a fabulous job.

Also, a couple more recent changes in my life: I am going back to school! I just started an online program through USU for Communication Disorders. I'm basically getting my prerequisites done for Speech Therapy. I'll hopefully be applying for grad school this winter. And I finally got part time with SkyWest and will have a little more control over my schedule and life... something I'm VERY excited about. So yes, things are looking up for me. And hopefully everything will work out in the end!
