I love my girls!!

A few of my BYU-Idaho friends and I get together every month to do a little catching up. I really love it! I hope that we can continue the tradition for a long time. It's fun because we get to talk about the good old days and also learn about each others lives now. I like being able to see where we have been and how we have grown. Thanks ladies you are so great and supportive!

MOAB!!

I went to Moab with my ward May 20-22nd. It was a blast!!! I want to go again and do some more hiking and stuff. We hiked to the arches, rode on a bike trail and did a river rafting trip.

Lions, Tigers and NO BEARS, oh my!

This past weekend, Jordan took me to the Hogle Zoo!! It was so exciting, the last time I went to the zoo was probably when I was in Florida a long time ago. I was like a kid in a candy store! It was so cool to see the animals. I am from Iowa... there aren't too many zoos there. I think the closest thing was a petting zoo. There were some sheep and a few sad looking monkeys. So in comparison the Hogle Zoo was the bomb! I got to see tigers, penguins, monkeys, rhinoceros (I don't know how to make this plural), and elephants --there was a baby one! I was really excited to see the bears but they are in Oregon until they finish some project. I will post some pictures of the exciting day later.

We are goofy!

Seriously don't mess with me. . .

Major Damage!!

If you don't think this is major damage you should have seen it blow up! It was pretty intense. I am not the best shot but it was pretty cool.

Craft Night revived

So Saturday night the girls had a lovely little craft night where we made those cute little flower hair clips. We had a lot of fun. I had only made one before but I was able to teach the other ladies how to do them. I learned how to make them from this blog. They all turned out really nicely.



On another note, I hate not having a car. It is so annoying. I must find one soon or I might go mad.

Also, I have been getting a ton of headaches lately. I don't know why. Maybe it's because I am stressed about finding a car and a life. Hopefully it won't continue too much longer or I may do something drastic...

Veteran's day hike

Veteran's day I didn't have to work which was pretty rad. Michelle and I went on a great hike. We were trying to find another hike but it was no where to be found. It was awesome to get out and get some exercise during the day when I normally wouldn't have. We had a grand time and took some pictures to prove it. Here is a glimpse of what you all missed. . .

Here is a synchronized jumping picture. We pretty much rock.

Advent Calendars

We have kind of slacked off when it has come to our craft/dessert night but it's the holiday season so things get quite busy. We did do advent calendars. Here are a few pictures of the first night we started them. Mine didn't get done until a little bit later but it is on the right.
