Thanksgiving Dinner!

Thanksgiving is always an exciting time.  Today we went to my Grandma Richins house.  It was good to see my family on that side of the family because I usually don't see them very much. My favorite part of Thanksgiving dinner is the mashed potatoes and my mom's homemade rolls-So delicious!

Yummy Thanksgiving Dinner, my grandma really out did herself

PIES, PIES, and more PIES.  We had so many pies to eat, it was so hard to pick which one to eat!

REXBURG!

This past weekend I went to visit my sister in Rexburg, ID.  Turns out is was freezing cold there.  It snowed and then the snow did not melt.  It was really good though to spend some time with my entire family.  I love them so much, and feel so blessed!

So my sister is a genius, and can solve a rubix cube in 2 min or something crazy like that.  Because it was so cold we mostly just stayed inside and with all the time, I solved this rubix cube.  Granted my sister coached me through it, I did do it! Just don't ask me to do it again!

As I mentioned before, it was freezing cold in Rexburg.  This is what I woke up to Saturday morning.  Not only does it snow in Rexburg, but the wind makes it 10 times colder.  Suddenly I was really greatful that I live just a little further south in Utah and that the mountains prevent the wind from blowing constanly.

FALL COLORS!!

So a few weeks ago my roomates and I went to see all the fall colors!  It makes me so excited to see all the colors.

We saw the mountain goats on the mountain.  It was the coolest thing, they got so close to us, like right next to the trail!

Fall is Here!

So the weather is starting to feel like fall.  It is sad to see summer go, but I love the beautiful fall colors that surround me! Here are a few picture updates:

I saw this guy at work, aparently the freshman had a pumpkin carving contest.

 Jenny and I love to have late night ice-cream parties.

Halloween COOKIES!

My dear friends at heritage halls and I made Halloween Cookies during our crew reuinion last night! It was so much fun to hear from everyone that I worked with in the summer! We had the best crew over the summer, we all worked so hard and I made some really great friends. Not only are we good at cleaning, but we can decorate awesome Halloween Cookies!!! Love ya guys!

The Calm after the Storm

So last week was a crazy week with lots of mid-terms and projects due, this week though was a welcome relief.  In the midst of my studies, I have had a lot of fun this week.

 On Sunday we went and visited the Provo Tabernacle.  It is so exciting that this tabernacle is going to be turned into a second temple for Provo! I am so excited, and hope that it will be done before I graduate!  Now my two homes will have two temples.  South Jordan has the Oquariah Mountain and the Jordan River temples and soon Provo will have two!  Of course with much given much is required, it is up the members to use temples and keep this temples busy doing the work of the Lord.

  No I am not eating whipped cream out of the bottle:)

 So I got to go home this week and on my way back to Provo, I saw the full moon glowing in the sky under the clouds.  This isn't the best picture, but it really was so pretty!

 Today, Jenny and I were feeling a little blue... a little true blue that is! A BYU homecoming tradition to slide into a big pile of you guessed it BLUE FOAM!

So far, this week has been full of lots of fun adventures... these have been some GREAT DAYS!

JENNY!

 Lil Jen! I am so glad to have Jenny as my friend.  She is the nicest, prettiest and the greatest person ever.  She is such an example to me to love everyone.  I love her so, so much.  Here we are at the football game on Saturday, isn't it obvious why I love her so much!  Jenny is from Canada and the 2nd Monday in October is marked as Thanksgiving for Canada.  To celebrate, Jenny and I made a college-style thanksgiving dinner! We had turkey roast, mashed potatoes, rolls, and apple pie.  We invited people over that had ties to Canada, it was a lot of fun.  I am so thankful for Jenny and her Canadianship!
