Thanksgiving Break!

WoW I'm so sorry I haven't posted in awhile! Well last week was Thanksgiving Break and me and Becky went down to Utah for the week. We got a ride with my two freinds Daniel and Michael who were goin down to watch the Holy War...the Quest IS over hahaha! It was a pretty interesting four hour drive down there forced to listen to Daniel's bad taste in music! I wish I would have brought ear plugs!! But we eventually made it to Chris and Brindy's safely.

Saturday night the three of us sisters went and saw TWILIGHT! I thought it was pretty good...not nearly as good as the books though but I was kinda expecting that. Brindy is starting to get so big! I can't believe ahe only has three months left! I was so excited when I felt her kick while we were waitring for the movie to start! I can't wait til I get to meet her and see what she looks like which will be absolutely ADORABLE!



Me and Brindy went for a little hike trogether! It was alot of fun and SO beautiful! We packed lunches and ate them on a picnic table by a really pretty lake. We met these two old men who were fishing and they insisted on taking pictrures for us..they were so cute!




On Weds night we left for my Aunt Lana's house for Thanksgiving. The food was AMAZING, the pies were DELICIOUS, and playing games all together was a BLAST!

Now I'm back at school trying to endure these last two weeks until Christmas Break. There is just too much to do and no time to do it all! This morning we had White Glove Checks (what i like to call Nazi Day) so all us roomies cleaned, mopped, dusted, vaccumed EVERYTHING in sight! We stayed up all night..literally! We went to bed at like 5 in the morning and slept in til 3! Finals week is coming up next week and I'm starting to get really nervous...I hope I do okay! Friday me and Beckstrer are heading down to Utah to stay with Chris and Brindy...it seems like we just saw em!! Sunday they are taking us to the airport in Salt Lake. Our flight leaves at 8:53 am home Washington D.C!!

Weekend at Marcella's


I had so much fun this weekend!! Me and Becky got a ride up to Twin Falls to spend the weekend with Marcella and Brian! Man did they spoil us rotten!! We got there around 7:00 Friday and spent all of Saturday and and left Sunday night. I woke up to Hannah and Garrett jumping on me Saturday morning. I was also really surprised to find it somewhat white outside! yep we have had a little snow already in OCTOBER! Im getting confused what month it is! We had the most delicious breakfast...biscuits and gravey, bacon (cooked just the way I like it), and hasbrowns. Compliments to the shef... : ) After breakfast we got ready for the day. But before I took a shower and got ready I cut Garretts hair! This was my first time cutting a boys hair before! Garrett hated the hair being all of over him though! I was in Marcella bedroom using the mirror to put on my make-up when little Natalie pulls a stool over and started going through my make-up bag. I couldnt help it....I did Natalie and Hannah's make-up and lets just say the boys better watch out for these two! Then we were going to go bowling but the bowling lanes were filled up...and Marcella can't read fine print ;) So we went out to dinner at this pizza place. It was so yummy! The servers would come out every minute or two with a new kind of pizza! Pepperoni, meat lovers, Hawaiian, chicken BBQ, cheese..pretty much every kind of pizza imaginable! And thats not all...then they came out with the dessert pizza! MMmm! Cookies ans Cream, butterfinger, reeses, rasberry and blueberry! I WAS STUFFED! I dont know if I can ever look at a piece of pizza again! Then we went back home and the kids went to bed and us girls watched a movie together. The first movie we put in was really stupid, sad, and depressing so we stopped it and put in Cutting Edge which is a good 80's movie! Sunday morning was a little hecktic trying to get everyone ready but we managed to get to church surprisingly on time...I'm still on "standard Stoker time". Me and Becky picked the perfect weekend to come because we got to see Garrett and Hannah in the Primary Program! They both said there part great and sounded so cute! We back home and ate yet again a delicious meal! After sending us back with tons of food they dropped us back off and we drove all the way back to rexburg. We love you Marcella, Brian, Garrett, Hannah,a nd Natalie thanks for a great weekend!

College Life!!









I am now a college girl! I absolutely love my roommates! I share a room with Ashley Bean and Laura is rooming with Emma Heagan. We all get along really well and have so much fun together!! The other night we all went to Jamba Juice and got smoothies (yes we actually have a Jamba Juice here in Rexburg!) then we walked over to the park where this guy was playing the guitar and singing and alot of poeple stopped to listen...it was like a mini concert! Then we went home changed into our Pjs and watched Hairpray it was a really fun night. Last night they set up a projector and speakers outside and showed 27 dresses everyone layed out blankets, brought their pillows and bundled up to watch it! Its not cold yet but its getting more chilly everyday! Today me laura and emma went bowling for free! Im so horrible at bowling!! I would probably get a higher score bowling with my eyes closed! Tomorrow for Family Home Evening we are going to the sand dunes and Im so excited! I will tell you one thing I'm always busy! Classes seem really short compared to highschool! Im only in class for 3 hours but you spend double that time doing all your homework so I guess its equal! I seldom have time to just take a nap or loung around but its kinda nice at the same time...I dont have time to be lazy thats for sure!

My summer at a glance





Well everyone, I'm heading off to college in two weeks!! Can you believe it?! I know it really hasn't hit me yet but I sure am getting excited! Im going to be attending BYU Idaho on the Fall-Winter track. My flight leaves at 2:00 on August 30th. I'm living on campus in cooking dorms with my friend Laura Ritter. My graduation marked the beginning of my summer and I can't begin to tell you how much fun it was! CLASS OF 2008 BABY! One of the things that made my graduation so speacial was a total shock and surprise...Eric Urry flew out from Arizona to be at my graduation!! Me and Brittany drove up together to the Patriot Center and the whole way up we were both freaking out that we would get lost, get stuck in traffic, or be late but all of the above did actually happen! The most important thing is we got there and walked! After the ceremony Mom and Dad took us out to dinner at Macaroni Grill. Then Grad Night began. Instead of going to my schools Grad Night me and some of my friends did our own! We stayed up ALL night swimming, playing games, eating food we had alot of fun! This summer I worked two jobs at Ruby Tuesday as a host and Water Works as a Lifeguard. It felt at times that work was my life and thats all I ever but i still had some good times with my friends and family and I'm so excited for all the good times i will have out at school!
