It's a thankful season, and I'm feelin it.
It is such a wonderful feeling. Before I go to bed everynight, I pull down one of the scrapbooks my wonderful mother has made for me and I look through it. Talk about a humbling thing. That might sound silly, I know. But when I look through them, all I can think about is how lucky I am to have been raised the way I was. I look at all of those pictures and all I have are WONDERFUL memories! Basically I've just been going to bed every night so grateful for the life I've been given. The majority of all of those memories that I'm so grateful for have a lot of you in them. And as I was looking through them and feeling this way, I honestly thought... I HAVE to blog about this to tell everyone how thankful I am for the part they've played in my life. Don't laugh, but I was totally getting emotional in my bed looking through these pictures of emily helping my with math homework, my siblings and I on camping trips, stephanie and I making disgusting faces at the camera because we thought we were hilarious, danielle and I making up dances, Court painting my toes the night before emily's wedding, my mom with tears in her eyes in every holiday picture, Amy, Steph, Danielle, Emily, and I at the Britney Spears concert, The first time I met Jill- we danced to britney spears together (best bonding experience ever? i think so!), First day of school pictures with the whole neighborhood, Whitney sharing a twin bed with me and 2 of my nieces and nephews, Spending time at the Arnold Beach Haven, Dancing with my daddy at Marc and Connie's wedding, every holiday with the Mitchell's and I could go ON AND ON!!! how is it fair that one girl has been surrounded by so much love in her life? I guess this was a good time of the year for me to be having this realization... after all, it is thanksgiving :)
I'm thankful for you all.
Happy thanksgiving :)

6 months!
Who knew Taiwan was so pretty?! I love when he sends pictures of what it looks like over there!
This is a guy he's been working real closely with, they made a deal- no smoking for him, and no english for michael.
He does that with his hand in TONS of pictures! I guess it's the Taiwanese way of making fun of us Americans because we always do something with our hands in pictures.
I just love this one. I hope these Taiwanese people are cool with their pictures being on my blog haha... he's so sweatttttty- He says it's ridiculously hot!

Halloween!
This is my seriously, AWESOME neighbor Kelsie! Isn't her costume so radical?!?! I died laughing!
Me and my WONDERFUL roomie Ashlie after we survived the fear factory!!!
Seriously- I love halloween! SO MUCH! It's just such a wonderful holiday. We had a great one this year! Steph and I were going to do spooky dinner, but for a number of reasons, we cancelled that idea. I did make some delicious halloween cookies though :) Anyway- to school, I wore my awesome "trick or treat, smell my feet" shirt that glows in the dark and I got from my one and only Steph and Whit. And I wore my Ghost earings... awesomeeeeee!! Then for night time, My roomie Ashlie and I were hippies and steph was pippie longstocking... she was SO CUTE! I think it's kind of a hint when your roomie wants to be a hippie for halloween and so she asks to barrow your clothes... hahahaha hmmmm... and I was a hippie and wore all of my own clothes... meh- that's the way i role I guess! haha... i was more of a modern hippie- not a 70s one, because this way it was free! haha! And once again, thanks to steph, I have a radical peace necklace. That i wear almost every day by the way. ANYWAY- we dressed up and did our hair all aweseme, me and ash in dreds and stephy in awesome braids. I guess this is the point in the blog where I mention that a certain fellow asked me to go to the halloween carnival with him. :) yes- this was a good thing. He's a nice, cute, good fellow that I have class with and have probably gone out with a time or 2.. ;) SO he brought some of his friends and I brought mine! It was fun! you know how carnivals are. we got our faces painted, did the good ol' cake walk, and ate some candy. It actually reminded me of those carnivals they used to have at Centennial Elementary, it was so cool!! THEN- We went to the FEAR FACTORY in rigby!!!! okay, scary, scary, scary. FO REAL!!!!! Since when are people in haunted houses allowed to GRAB YOU?!?!?! seriously- like full on hands in my hair and all over my waiste. YIKES IT WAS SO SCARY!!! Probably the best part though was hearing steph in her ABSOLUTE TERROR!at the end, when you think you're done, they CHASE YOU DOWN WITH A TRUCK!!!1 i'm not kidding you, they drive after you and i seriously didn't know if that was part of the haunted house, or like some crazy drunk kids trying to kill me... oh gosh- it was so scary!! Fortunately, I went to this haunted house with that same nice fellow. hahahahaa. It was so fun though! and there was a nice bon fire there and everything.. so great! Anyway- it was a spooky, fun halloween!!!!

You can't have a personal bubble in Exercise Science
Before class I had to fast for 4 hours and then drink strait sugar water. GAG ME. it was about a cup of sugar in 2 glasses of water- i seriously had to lay down after so I wouldn't vomit. Next, i announce my weight and height and how fast I can run to the class. Then they hooked me up to the most awkward contraption possible and told me to run for 6 minutes at a pace I could hold for a half of an hour. Imagine... there's a giant mouthpiece in my mouth like when you go to the orthodontist, with a tube coming out of the end. There's a spit catcher, a part on my head to hold it all in place, and nose plugs so I can only breath out of my mouth. I tried to turn my head while i was running... not happenin!! If i did, I would have taken the computer with me. Once my 6 minutes are up, they pull the contraption off of me and the spit catcher dumps saliva allll down my shirt. So attractive. The point of this is to see what my rate of respiratory exchange is when eating only carbs. Don't worry- next week I have to fast and then drink 5 Tbsp. of strait oil to see what fat does! Once again... all in the name of science :)
Basically- I love my major! Other ones are sweet too, don't worry I'm not knocking other majors! You people are so gifted in those other areas that go completely over my head. I'm just sayin, I think exercise science is a major for the bold! haha! A major for people who don't get embarrassed or scare easy!
I tried to post a picture of what they contraption looked like but it's not letting me... grrr. so use your imagination

Spirit Relay Night!
That's my good buddy Thor. Actually we just met, but we're good buddies because anyone who represents BYUI in such a studly manner is my buddy. He's our mascot... i think... i see him everywhere!
Alright everyone... it's spirit week here at BYUI! To some, that means absolutely nothing... but to my roomies and I, it means an excuse to celebrate the fabulous school we attend and just be silly.The spirit rally was last night. Every ward is a different color, and 50 people from each ward run a relay, each person runs a lap around the track. AND- as for the rest of the ward that doesn't get to run, they are up in the stands cheering for their ward. Just imagine a filled BYUI stadium full of different colored wards screaming for an hour and a half as their ward runs a relay. It's a wonderful thing. The 31st ward always wins, they're good... i'm not gonna lie! Married wards even did it too this year... BUT- they only had to do 30 laps! WHAT IS THAT ABOUT?!!! when you get married to you instantly lose your ability to run so you get to cheat?!!!! It sounded a little fishy to me! SO- my ward this year... unforunately = no bueno. They didn't sign us up!!!! My roomies and I were naturally very upset about this. sooo... about 10 of us took it upon ourselves to sign ourselves up. So, we signed up the 18th ward about 10 minutes before the relay and declared our color pink! Now, remember the part about 50 laps??? yeah- we had no where near 50 people so... let's just say we all got our work out last night running multiple laps each! BUt boy oh boy did we finish that relay and we were dang proud of it! It really was SO fun, and it was a nice night and if you ask me, the people from my ward that didn't sign up were misssssssing out!
I don't know when the last time your ran on a track was... but one lap is longer than it looks!!! So I start off sprinting, everyone is cheering and I'm super pumped and the adreneline is goin... then about half way around the track, the smile leaves and i'm like... crap this is no sprint man- i'm getting tired. There are tons of people on the side of the track so I try to force a smile when I run, but I'm really just trying to force the oxygen into my body and breath hard so I have like this crazy "i'm trying not to look tired" look on my face, as I run with my pink pom pom for our baton. hahahaha, it was a comical night.
Yay for college and random crazy stuff that makes me feel like I don't have anything to worry about atleast for an hour or two :)
