Thanksgiving!

This Thanksgiving break was much needed in the school department for me. School is going well, but it was definitely nice to have a few days off to get rejuvenated before finals week comes. I was able to get a lot done and even put up my Christmas tree! :) I left my camera at mom and dad's so I can't post a picture of it yet, but by tonight I will.

I thought I'd post a few pictures from Thanksgiving day. We didn't have a big elaborate celebration, just mom, dad, Landon and I, but it was still a lot of fun. Dad and Landon were burning a bunch of the brush that we needed to get rid of so we just hung outside for a while so that was fun.
This all needs to be cleared out so instead of hauling it they decided to have a bonfire! It will look so much better when just the trees are there instead of all of the shrubs and dead brush.

I also rode the motor bike around and I was so proud of myself for not crashing! I wish I would have gotten a picture of me on it but at least I got one of Landon.



In the spirit of Thanksgiving, here is a short list of the things I'm most thankful for. (Not in any particular order) :)

1. My family
2. The Gospel
3. Good friends
4. Opportunity to go to school and work
5. Warm bed and warm showers
6. A car
7. Music
8. Agriculture
9. Technology
10. People who do the jobs that no one else wants to (if you don't know what I'm talking about, just watch Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe on The Discovery Channel)

Happy Holidays!

Life...or something like it :)

The weeks following convention have been so much fun for me. For the first time in a year and a half, I'm living the normal life of a college student which includes: late nights, Aggie Athletics, and plain ol' fun. So I thought I'd post a few pictures!

Halloween proved to be a fun and eventful night. The night was started off with a party and then a few of my friends and I headed over to the infamous Howl at Utah State. Don't worry folks, it's cleaned up a lot over the past 3 years or so, so it's not as scandalous as one might think :) Here I am, Betty Rubble, with Ginger, Scary and Posh Spice.

It was a bit crowded throughout the entire TSC...can you tell?

Really...it was wall to wall.


In the Ballroom, there was an illusionist and a performance by one of the teams from America's Best Dance Crew. They were pretty sweet to say the least


I can't forget to mention Aggie Sports...I haven't been able to make it to a basketball game yet and it's kind of been killing me. I have, however, made it to a couple of hockey games which are pretty entertaining as well. I guess it's the Canadian coming out in me that gets me so excited at the games. We have a really great team which makes it even more fun.

Here's Sasha, Audrey and myself cheering on our Aggies against San Jose State


This year we've been really good about celebrating everyone's birthday. This is our party planner, Shoat. He makes sure everyone's birthday is celebrated in style. Ironically, I don't have any pictures of the night mine was celebrated! (Don't worry about the beer sign in the back, we're just at Texas Roadhouse!)


At Texas Roadhouse, if it's your birthday, they make you sit on a saddle while the entire restaurant yells, "Saddle Up! Saddle Up!" Apparently Jeff and Sid just couldn't fathom saddling up alone, so they did it together..

Waiting..waiting...waiting...you wouldn't think that it would be too hard to get a group of 30 in, right?
I know this was a forever long post, but I had to put these pictures up sometime! :)
