HOME!

I'm going home in 2 days!! Time to be spoiled, eat whatever I want, and actually relax. Time to take all of my mom's attention, bug the crap out of my dad, and get hugs and kisses from all the kids. Time to remind everyone why I'm their favorite person, because sometimes they need a reminder. Time to take tons of pictures, watch chick flicks (because Ben won't watch them with me), and NOT have to put together a wedding!!!! I know you're jealous..I mean..look at these kids.


Now..if only I can get through these next 2 days..

Fall Fun

We've been super busy this fall - with school and work and trying to socialize. Here are the limited pictures of things we have done lately.

First off, Halloween. We were Egyptians.

At the BYU football game. We actually won this one.

Saturday night we went to Laura's birthday party. She's 21 now! Yay!

Me & my old roomies =]

Ben & I at the party.

It's been a long week of school. We're finally starting to get the hang of things - Ben getting used to all the homework he has, and me getting used to Ben having to do homework pretty much all day. At least we only have one day to go shopping for dinner stuff for the week, so I have everything ready ahead of time - that definitely helps out with all the busy-ness. We went to a BYU Festival thing last night. It was pretty fun, excluding all of the typical BYU kids there. I realize why I can't stand about 75% of the student population when I go to things like that. But it was still fun. We went with Trent, Camilla, Tyler and Kiley. It's always nice to hang out with friends. We got our faces painted, and Ben decided I should have scars going down my face, which of course had everyone looking at me. My favorite thing - oh wait. Well, things outside of school are going good. Sent in my acceptance letter to the Utah College of Dental Hygiene this week. I start there in May. It'll be nice to be going to school for something that I want. Ben changed his job time from 10:30 p.m. - 1:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. - 5 p.m. I don't have to go to sleep alone anymore, so that's nice. (Not that I'm a big scaredy cat or anything...) Haha! Well, I'm already excited for Thanksgiving break, even though it's 2 months away. Maybe we should have some visitors from California in the meantime. Hint Hint. Well, lets hope this week will go by a lot quicker than last!

Camping!

On Friday, we went camping with Trent and Camilla and Jaxson. It was pretty fun, even though we got rained on, and couldn't really get a good fire going. Don't worry though, we were able to get our dinner cooked so we had some food to eat. (Although we weren't able to make good s'mores, but it's all good.) Here are some pictures.


The boys trying to get the tents situated. It started pouring as we were trying to put them up.

Playing with the fire after it went out. Despite the rain and lack of fire, some of the coals stayed lit all night.

Trent, Camilla and Jaxson in their tent. Due to the rain, we had to stay inside and play cards instead of sitting around the fire. It was really comfortable..oh wait..


Before we went to bed, I made Ben take some pictures with me.


After about 4, he gave me this face, so we stopped. Haha!

The view on the drive home. It was gorgeous.

Week-Day Date

This past week, Ben and I went to the Museum of Ancient Life at Thanksgiving Point. It was a pretty cool museum - the best part was the dinosaurs of course. It's been awesome to be able to do things during the week, since Ben works at night now. Love it!


As you can tell, Ben was really excited to be in pictures for me...


This was this wall of different animal heads where it listed all the animals and let you match them with the ones hanging. It was pretty sweet - of course Ben had to kick all the little kids out and look at all of them.


This huge turtle reminded me of Tortey and how I totally ruined him. So sad, but I'm glad he wasn't this big!


One of the last things we saw was this huge shark. Yikes!

Catch up time. Even though we're both way busy with school and work, we still find some time to do fun stuff. We went to a rodeo a few weeks ago..







Then we had a chance to snap a picture before we went to a wedding..



Lastly, just thought I'd throw in a picture of what I woke up to one morning...

Isn't he cute? =]

So, we got our wedding pictures back, so I thought I'd post a few. I absolutely love them, so I can't wait to get them printed and up in our apartment. The wedding fun never ends! =]



We went to the Santa Monica pier after the temple and took pictures there. They turned out great!



Bridesmaids

Our photographer did an awesome job! I love them all! And there are plenty more awesome pictures! =]]
