Fun with the Girls

This past little while getting ready for finals it has been nice not having any school. We all study all day and party at night:-) Me and a few girls from my apartment place have hung out a ton lately and have gotten real close. We have gone to Basketball Games, Ugly Christmas Sweater Parties, Blacklight Dance Parties, Pizza Factory, Spoon Me, and In and Out at midnight. It has snowed quite a bit down here, which is a huge surprise, and so we had snowball fights, snowman contests, Cocomotion (hot chocolate maker) get togethers, and hot tubbing while snowing. It has been a blast. I will miss everyone as we head home for Christmas Break. 

Crunch Week

This week is definitely a busy one and one we all like to call crunch week. It is the week before finals and so everyone is studying real hard to get some last minute studying. I am done with two of my finals and i only have three more to go. Yay! Just staying busy and loving life!

Family Photos

During the break my family went and took family pictures and made a Christmas card. We all wore dad's company logo hoodies. After pics, my sisters and i got in dad's bucket and he swung us around like old times. Good thing he got a new machine with a bigger bucket so even some 20, 18, and 17 year olds can fit in there

Thanksgiving Break

I had such a good Thanksgiving break. I went home to spend time with the family. I ate so dang much food it was insane. After dinner my family (except mom) loaded up and drove to Wyoming to ho hunting for whitetailed deer. That is the longest drive but we do it every year. It was about 8 hours to Seridan, Wyoming. I have made that trip for 7 years during thanksgiving break. it is tradition. I did harvest me a nice 6x5 11 point whitetailed deer. It is not huge but it is decent.

What A Week!!!

Monday:
I met a new friend named Raquel and she took me to go fighting with her. Not like any kind of fighting... MMA Fighting. MMA aka Mixed Martial Arts is like UFC fighting. I didn't actually fight anyone but I trained and it was so dang hard. I learned to box, have good footwork when fighting, kick effectively, and how to make people tap-out when grappeling. It was very intense and i got a little sore the nextday. But that is one thing i wouldn't mind to keep doing.
Tuesday: Career Day. No School!!! I still had to do stuff for ambassadors but we got free food at the Red Rock Cafe. (All you can eat) and boy did i eat a lot. The only person that prob beat me in all i ate was Quin. His tray was full.
Wednesday: Sanity! We had an "Old fogie" party with the Ambassadors. Kereoke, Bingo, Crazy old people, and snacks for everyone. It was so much fun. I give my props to Aly, nate, Chels, and Cami for going to the extreme old person. It was so much fun.
Thurday: Go home to visit the fam and get ready for my cousin Darci's wedding.
Friday: Darci's wedding. Yay. Darci Downs and Layne Roberts getting married in the SLC temple. Congratulations.

Rebel Retreat and an awesome weekend.

Rebel Retreat was Awesome! We all had so much fun. Friday night we ate dinner catered by the Pasta Factory. I think everyone there had seconds. It was that good. After dinner we went to the Battle of the Sexes at the Gardener Building. It got pretty intense competing male vs. Female. There were all sorts of competitions that people had to do: jumprope contest, handstand contest, ice block sit, the happy meal blend and chug, trivia, whistle challenge, and many more. Can you guess who won? well obviously the girls won. Just face it... Girls are better:-) After that we went to a giant bonfire out at the Arizona Strip. Following that we all went back to the gym to play games all night long: volleyball, air hockey, basketball, ping pong, guitar hero... your options were endless. Everyone split for bed around 2 in the morning. It was real good bonding time with all the ambassadors and i got to spend time with my sister, Jade, who came for the Rebel Retreat.
Saturday i got to spend time with the fam who came down to visit. It was real good to see them. we ate food at the olive garden and that was super good. Sat night i took my sister and her friend to the hypnotist show. That was amazing! I don't think i have ever laughed harder. It was so dang funny. On Sunday, it was sad to see my family go but at least i will be up there visiting next weekend and thanksgiving break.

THRILLER yeah ya!

Yesterday i went to the dance concert Thriller at Tuicon. It was AWESOME! We had second row tickets. i could hear them breathing and practically smell their sweat. They had so many cool dances. There is one dancer names Matt, that was on So You Think You Can Dance. He is so good and all the girl dancers are amazing too. i am way jealous. My favorite dance was the Mummy dance and the River of Blood dance. I loved every second of them all though.
I love the holiday season and Halloween is a great start of it. I don't like being scared but i like the festivities of it. I am going to be a Pirate for Halloween this year and i am super excited. Happy Halloween!
