church music does not include Celine Dion... sorry!

So... music is like one of my top favorite things about church. Tonight my roommate and I went to our stake music fireside. It was just musical number after musical number... it was absolutely fabulous. Many of my most favorite hymns were performed and I loved it except... Celine Dion performed. Well... Celine Dion did not perform but, one of her song surely was performed at the fireside. I know that the song was titled "The Prayer" so you think prayer equals church. yes and no... it was a little too pop for my taste. Sorry! That is just how I feel. Love the song but not for a church fireside. I looked at my roommate and could barely contain my laughter because I felt so awkward. Oh... it was a moment to be remembered for sure!

Thanksgiving (and Cheesecake Factory) cannot come any sooner...

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited to go home on Tuesday!  Words cannot even express the excitement that will overcome me when I get on that plane and leave this state.  I have not seen my family for over 3 months... which is a very long time for me.  I had a mini breakdown the other day while talking to my mom because I cannot wait to go home.  It really was no big deal, but now she is calling me telling me all about these fun things we are going to do when I get home to make me feel better.  I love my mom.  Today she called and told me that she is going to take me to Cheesecake Factory when she picks me up from the airport.  She also told me not to look too trashy when I get off the plane since we will be going to Cheesecake Factory haha... I love her! 

Attention Fellow Wal-Mart Shoppers!!!

Last night my roommate Jessie and I went to Wal-Mart for a few necessities. She was not feeling too well, so we decided to let her ride in the cart. We had been in the store for about a half hour and we had passed a thousand workers until... some lame "stocking manager" came up to us and said in her semi-non-feminine voice, "excuse me, you have to get out of the cart." Jessie and me both looked at her with an are you serious look and asked why??? She said again in her semi-non-feminine voice, "well... it is a safety issue" I wanted to say, why don't you go worry about the sketchy high school kids down the other aisle probably stealing merchandise and leave us alone. Earlier, a nice man working asked me how much she cost and I told him that she was a great buy and I just had to put her in the cart. He just laughed and did not say a thing about Jessie needing to get out of the cart. So... the moral of the story is: don't let your friends ride in the shopping cart because it is a SAFETY HAZARD!

I heart Halloween... not really

Most every year I am a Halloween hater... but this year I actually had some fun.  I mean I despise Halloween so much that I  will probably try to pay my kids off so that I don't have to do all the Halloween business. The amount of money I will have to pay them will probably be just as expensive or maybe even less than those dumb costumes they will want to wear. Anyways... My roommates and I made dinner in a pumpkin which, was very delicious.  Then my roommate Jessie and I went to a party and we had a fabulous time.  We were not planning on dressing up or anything, but we heard about a party at the last minute and decided to go.  We had to dress up or else... we would look extremely LAME!  We put our costumes together in a couple hours and we looked mighty fine if I do say so myself.  There were lots of fun activities and dancing at the party and most important... lots of good friends!!!

 

We were Captain Underpants!

Yes... we are wearing sexy white boys briefs!

Derek and me at the party!

The best three little pigs ever and me!
