Hikin' the Y!

This week was Homecoming Week! It was pretty awesome. We of course weren't able to go to every activity, but we went to a few. They were fun! Jayde and I went to Mr. BYU, which was soooo hilarious. Still can't compare to Mr. Russet, of course. We did a few other things but the coolest one was hiking the Y! On Tuesday night people could hike it and turn on the lightbulbs to light the Y for the rest of the week. The hike was a lot harder than I expected, but it was definitely worth it! Here are some sweet pics.

Before...

After!

The view was so dang pretty!



So anyway it was a pretty good week! Yesterday we went to the Homecoming game and we FINALLY won! It was a good time. Then last night I went to one of the homecoming dances with some FHE friends. The theme of this one was "Black and White" so everyone just wore black and white anything and then outside of the dance they had a bunch of tables set up with tons of paint and markers and stuff to decorate our clothes. It was so much fun!
So ya things are continuing to get better. I miss my friends at home so freaking much, but having Jayde and Logan here is amazing! And I'm making more and more friends so it's been really good. And I of course miss all of you guys like crazy! Thanks for the support and love.

"Imagine GENERAL CONFERENCE!"

Heeey! It's way past due for a post, but here we go.
This past month has been crazy! Nothing super exciting, but I've just been really busy learning the ropes of this collegeness. I knew it would be different than high school, but now I REALLY know how different it is!
However, here are some awesome things. My roommate Cali's brother bought a ginormous tv off of Ebay and now he's moving so he doesn't have anywhere to put the tv for a few months. So where does it go? Our apartment!

We live on the 3rd floor, so it was a bit of a challenge getting it up here. But we did it! With a lot of help. And it's an interesting way to meet people. Haha now we all of the sudden have a bunch of "friends" within the complex.
So we invited our FHE group and a few other people to our apartment this weekend to watch General Conference. It was sweet! And what's a big screen without theater seating...?

I promise it's safe! I think... We just put it on top of the kitchen table. I don't think we'll leave it there haha... but it worked great for General Conference!
Then last night during the Priesthood Session we of course had to do the typical "girls' night" so the three of us just went to the mall. Mostly we just walked around but it was fun!

After that we were planning to get some frozen yogurt, but unfortunately we got done at the mall at like 8:10, so of course all the Priesthood guys were just getting out of their session and crowding every single ice cream place! So we just went home and ate our own ice cream. After that LaChelle and I went with some of her friends from Springville to Utah Lake and we had a little bonfire. It was pretty fun! I met some new people and got to relax a little bit.

So this weekend was pretty fun! I haven't made a million friends, but I've made enough and I'm having a good time! I'm still figuring a lot of things out but things are going well! I like most of my classes, but especially my religion ones. I didn't know my testimony could grow so much in just a month! But it has and it's awesome.
Anyway here are some pictures from the most recent home football game. Jayde, Logan, and I got season tickets and we got SUPER lucky with our seats. Third row!! Right behind the home team. Now maybe if they would just win some games...!!


Haha I dunno about that guy in the back...


Sorry I'm such a crappy blogger lately. Mostly all my days kind of seem the same, so it's hard to be motivated to blog when nothing stands out a lot. But I'll keep pluggin! :) Love you all!
