I missed October. Where the heck did it go? It's gone! Happy late Birthday to... Melanie, Sharrid, Marc, Mitch, Paula, Lexie, Connie and Gregg! Because I most likely missed it! I don't know where I've been! Well, actually I've been at Wally's working. That's most of what I remember about the last few weeks. I did manage to have some fun though.

I feel like BYUidaho is finally creeping up on me. I can't wait, but I have to admit, I am getting just a bit nervous. Butterflies spaz out in my stomach when I start to think of it, when before they were dancing at the thought. I'm still very grateful and excited to go! Just.. a little nervous.

I'm stoked about the holidays. I'm one of the crazies. One of those crazy people whose world just seems to revolve around the holiday season. One of the people who has been welcoming the season with Christmas music since a week or two before Halloween. I love the glow of the lights, the smell of the pine, the magic in the air and the holiday cheer. I know everybody loves Christmas, but I hope you know the kind of people I'm talking about. Two people come to mind when I think of "Christmas crazies". My missed roommate Natalie is one of them. It was so nice rooming with her. She was basically flawless and the fact that she was completely obsessed with the holiday season (especially Christmas) made me feel like I wasn't the only crazy out there. The other person that comes to mind is my dear friend Greg. I love both of these people. And I think they will always be in my heart when the season rolls in. My fellow "Christmas giddies :)".

Mom, Dad, Tibi, Landon and I were able to go to Randon (my cousin) and Kylee's Wedding Reception in Ivans. It was adorable to say the least. And they are an adorable couple. I was lucky enough to have a dance with Dad, eat a doughnut and sip on hot cocoa, see cousins, laugh with Tibi and Landon and admire the general splendor.

The premier of "CONAN" was on tonight. Oh, how I've missed him. I'm so glad he is back. :)

I'm a huge fan of Google, but I think that their Blogger is a pathetic excuse for a program. Whoever designed it should be fired or should work for Yahoo.

Some things.

I'm in Logandale for the time being and I recently got a job at Wally's. Yes, you read that right. Wally's. I actually really like it so far, (even though we have to wear the ugggliest shirts ever). It will only be for the next few months and I'm really lucky and grateful to have a job! It's less than five minutes away, so that's a really nice feature as well. :)

I'm back in the good ole' Logandale Singles Branch. This place is something else, but it's good to be back for the next bit. I got my old calling back (teaching Relief Society), which I love. And I just love President Leavitt. It's nice to be here.

Other than my business life at Wally's, I've been spending all of my time cleaning out/fixing up my mother's scrapbook/sewing/hobby room. I really wish I would have taken a before picture. If you haven't seen it, it looked a lot like this... only it had some really hideous wallpaper as well. Or.. have you ever seen the television show called Hoarders? Enough said. It's still a long work in progress, but I think it will be worth the time. I'll be sure to post some before (sort of) and after pictures.

I'm so excited for General Conference. What a lovely weekend.

I say let them eat cake!

Just kickin' it with the missionaries.

It's official. I applied to BYUi on September 2nd, and on September 7th I was notified that I have been accepted! Here I come BYUi!

This Labor Day weekend... I went to the lake! with Ashley, Kyle, Justine, Wade and Geoff. We enjoyed a nice day that included swimming, tubing, cliff jumping, yummy snacks and good company. It was also Dad's birthday! He turned the big 55! We celebrated with some peach cobbler. Here are some pictures of us at the lake.

Happy Birthday to this Stud! I can't believe my little brother is 15! Sometimes I wish time could just stop. But at the same time, I can't wait to watch him grow older and see what he becomes. Things I love about Landon:

He's a sweetheart.
He is funny and fun loving.
He can always answer any question I have about sports.
When he laughs or smiles his eyes disappear.
He isn't afraid to hug me in public.
He is respectful.
He keeps life lighthearted.
And he's my brother!

Happy Birthday Lan! I love you! Hope you have a good one!

It's THIS beauty's BIRTHDAY today! Happy Birthday TIBI! She's sweet 16 and I can't believe it. I'm so sad that they are growing up, and so glad that they are part of the family... (the babies). I miss you Tib! I miss laughing with you. I love you so much!
