Halloween Festivities!

I don't even know how to begin about this weekend. Honestly, I thought it was just going to be sort of boring, and relaxed. Which is good, but it was crazy and so much fun.

Friday we decided to go to a Halloween dance in Idaho Falls. I didn't even plan a costume this year, I know I am super lame. That's ok, I pulled my resources together and went as a cowgirl, at least I had a costume! Anthony made sure we were all put together, and we met Dani down in IF. Ok, so can I just say I go to this dance every year, and there are always a BAZILLION people there. Not this year, nonetheless I still got to dance and that's what I wanted to do mostly. I even got to dance Thriller, so Halloween is complete. Here are some pictures of our adventures on Friday:
 I don't know what B is, I don't think he does either. HA!
 Anthony and Elliot getting ready to race on the obstacle course.
 The things these boys do. I mean honestly. Don't mind the creepy girl in the background. OH and I just noticed orbs too in the picture... creepy...
 Elliot flying!
 Mr. Rodeo Clown trying to master the art of bull riding.
 No comment on this boy's skills
 Dani and Anthony. She's so cute, I think I will be that next year for Halloween!
 The crew. Look at us!
B after his like 3rd Kool-Aid Jammer... getting drunk off the Kool-Aid??

Saturday we had to get up early to clean the church, and then we went and helped Bishop. I was so tired from the night before that I crashed and slept, after Mariah and I got pedicures. Then I made B and I dinner, and we went to see In Time with Justin Timberlake. I really liked it, an original concept and really made you think. Granted we went to the late showing and I was super tired, and it made me stay awake. That's a good thing!

Sunday I had to teach the lesson in RS. It went really good, and totally in a different direction than what I thought it would. Guess that is the way it happens. We then decided to go to Brycen's mom's house to play Murder in the Dark, makes some Halloween sugar cookies, and maybe a movie. I know get it all in. It was a lot of fun. We didn't play Murder in the Dark, but we made sugar cookies, granted they were Christmas shapes but whatever, they still had orange frosting. We watched The Others, I forget how weird that movie is. Then we just talked, and laughed. I hate how the weekends are too short... Boo (HAHA)!
 Frosting the sugar cookies
 Guess the shapes!
 I think I am mid-bite of my sugar cookie. And laughing per usual.
 B's artistic ability...haha
 Poor Dani, has to put up with him...
 See what I mean?
 B was so good at making the shapes and frosting them. Good thing or I might have to give him away to someone else...
B and Ma Taylor. She let us invade her kitchen, per usual. She's just so funny, and kept us entertained.

Happy Halloween! Spppoookkkyyy!!

Awkward & Awesome Thursday!

I love that my life has awkward and awesome moments. It makes me happy.
AWKWARD - 
  • Giving B's sister a hug and totally getting a boob in the face. Funny, but it was my fault for not standing up I guess. We laughed a good long time about that one.
  • Running like a little school girl to my apartment after two dummies scared me. Literally I screamed so loud I'm surprised it didn't wake anybody up. It was borderline laughing and crying. Yes, moments like that are also awkward.
  • Not acknowledging what you just saw or what someone else saw. Then continuing on in conversation like nothing happened. Secretly inside though I am super flustered. Oh life!
  • You know those moments when you are telling your story and then you realize that NO one is listening to you because there is so much going on? Yeah awkward. So you just stop talking and then someone was like oh I was listening, continue... (LIAR!!!)
  • After talking about debt in Institute the teacher asks "What are some things are OK to go into debt for", and I just say "a car". You would have thought I said a luxurious yacht or something. Everyone in the room then scoffs at me for having a car payment. Really people? Who can just shell out that kind of money? Get real. Dear students and teacher, I saw the cars that were in parking lot, we all have car payments!
  • I know I can be a brat sometimes, and I admire those who are nice to everybody, but giving a ride home to someone who is really weird makes for the most awkward car ride ever. Its like OK, lets just keep talking so the silence isn't even more awkward than this conversation about dragons and what have you. 
  • That moment after you tease someone and then you realize that it probably wasn't a good idea... they either didn't think you were joking, or they don't find it funny. Uh awkward.
AWESOME - 
  • Hot tubbing when it's freezing outside, or when you are freezing. Love it, OK so it also helps that I love the people I am with too.
  • Seeing Mariah experience a Cocoa Bean Cupcake for the first time. Seriously she was so funny, and she was like this is the BEST thing I've ever eaten. Our choices for drinks though were not as good, I should know better than to stray from what I like.
  • Mostly in general I love that my sister lives in the same town as me. I love that I can just call her up and she will come over or vice versa. She's such a good soul, and really I love that our relationship is growing. This fall has had some rough patches and I seriously don't know what I would have done if she hadn't have been there for me.
  • Inside jokes. 
  • Being told you're beautiful.
  • Nothing beats the fact that you see someone or something and can look at another person and they know exactly what you are thinking. Then you can just laugh about it without saying one word. 
  • A really good foot massage after a long day at work, and even better not even asking for one.
  • Family stories, whether yours or others are the best. Nothing beats good memories (or bad ones for that matter) that you can laugh at later.
  • My mom using the word "slutville" in a sentence when talking about a girl and her nasty ways.
  • Making Sunday dinner. Ok so I love cooking in general, but there's just something about a nice meal on Sunday.
  • Tender mercies for me, or for those I care about.
  • These moments with Mariah at Porters:

Happy Thursday! Life is good, we are blessed, so enjoy it!

JB and Zac Efron

Today I recieved an email with this picture and following caption:
“the saddest looking happy people you will ever see.”

Proceeded the following conversation via email with the BFF Jenn... who I might add is the only one who understands and shares in my obsession with JB and Zac Efron.

J - Omg, THAT is the face of a true JB fan. bhahahahahahaha

S - I think why I find it hysterical is because I would probably be the same way. I mean honestly, I would be nervous, so I would start crying, and then he would touch my shoulder and I would try to smile through the tears….

J - LOL! Spoken like a true JB fan.  Seriously, I would freak.  I’m not sure if I would cry but I would be a wreck. Like “omg, should I go up to him. Omg. Omg. Omg.” And maybe hyperventilate.  I think my picture would be the GOOFIEST biggest, over the top excited smiled… and I’m not sure which is better. LOL

S - You know I would ask for a picture with me kissing his cheek and then slip and maybe kiss him on the lips. But then his body guard might tackle me, darn it. I guess I’ll stick with the half hug, you know, you get what you can. Then maybe, just maybe I would ask him to sing a tiny bit of a song while I recorded it on my iPhone. Maybe something like “I am JB and I love you”…. I know you can hear him singing it now. I might pull out my Beats and be like look I am cool like you. LOL!
But JB is minor leagues. If I met Zac Efron… you know I would try to spider him or something.

J - OMG OMG LOL I am dying. I love that we are mid 20’s and we would still kiss little JB.  He’s talent and good looking, what can we say.  I can totally see you asking him to sing you a little ditty while you record it on your iphone. I would be DYING laughing.
I was thinking the same thing about Zac… The Efron is a completely different story from JB.  MMMM>>Spidering?! I could see it happening. … “Shhhh Shhh Zac, just let it happen!”

S - That’s right. If I kissed JB it would be considered illegal still. Crap. And I would go on the sex offenders list and then I wouldn't be able to hand out candy to the Trick-or-Treaters. Darn you JB and your adorable face and voice of a 17 year old.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... “shhhh Zac really…” (I would hold him down for you really)…one day Jenn one day we will meet him, and I will hug him and say “You’ll never know how you and HSM changed my life”….

J - And not being able to hand out candy at Halloween would be tragic but maybe worth it a little?!? Meh, wait a little longer then it’s completely legal.
 HAHAHAHAH Zac Efron and HSM did change my life. Omg, if we said that to him he’d probably be like, who are you, you little freak!? But actually I’m sure he gets that kind of crap all the time.  That’s it.  We have to meet him!

Thank you J for making my Tuesday better. For making me laugh hysterically at work, and for loving the same things I do.

October's Over?

Overall my weekend was good, I hate that they go by so quickly, how many days until Thanksgiving? BSU football game, birthday parties, sleeping (or lack thereof), and I even made Zesty Italian Chicken! I still haven't gone on my walk though, I HAVE to do that this week. HAVE to. I did watch Hocus Pocus this weekend, so if nothing else I have watched my favorite Halloween movie. I still have no idea what I'm going to be for Halloween, I have some ideas floating around in my head, they are fairly simple though so I should be good. I do however have to watch a scary movie sometimes this week, it wouldn't be Halloween without one...

Here is my new obsession:
It's really no secret I love anything with vinegar, on my sandwich, or chips, but these, wow they are heaven. They are not only salt'n vinegar, they are super low in carbs. Two problems, they are super hard to find, and they aren't cheap. I have now depleted my stash. DANGIT! Let the hunt begin.

Also I know I am a huge dork but I'm excited for this movie:


We are officially caught up on Gossip Girl. So good. So now I'm making everyone watch The O.C. because well nothing beats Seth Cohen, I mean really.

I promise too I will start taking more pictures.

Awkward and Awesome Thursday!

Awkward:
  1. Seeing my neighbor try to scrap the frost off his HUGE truck in the morning. Only to see him fail miserably, so I offer my extra large scraper and he just looks at me like that's an insult to his manhood or something. Well never mind then!
  2. Almost ugly crying after an emotional night. No one needs to see that. I'm pretty sure the stage between cute crying and ugly crying is just as worse though. Then trying to talk through it is even worse.
  3. Laughing and accidently having snot come out, in a really inopprotune time. Even more awkward is when the other person reminds you of it. Can't we just chalk it up to embarrassing and move on? Haha!
  4. Pretending like you didn't just see that girl pick her wedgie at the store, but then she has to look around afterwards and you catch each other's eyes. Laws.
  5. Getting "scolded" at for de-junking an office space. Get real lady this isn't Hoarders!
  6. People pointing out your flaws. Excuse me, I know what they are, no need to bring them to everybody's attention.
  7. Mr. Tuttle (ok a code word for a guy a work with, go ahead Google Mr. Tuttle) not only seeing that my hands are EXTREMELY full and thinking it's funny to cause me to stumble, but also asking if he can have a bite of my breakfast. Ew NO!
  8. Enjoying some Oreo's and milk, only to realize that I'm now licking my fingers. Brycen then asking, "uh how were those Oreo's?" Sorry, I was in carb heaven for a minute. 
Awesome:
  1. Swallowing some pride and doing what you have to do, and not worrying about anyone else.
  2. Crying at Jimmy John's and not caring because really the most important things you care about are sitting right across from you. 
  3. Hiding in a car in plain sight just because you aren't ready to "face" the world yet, and having someone actually hide with you makes it even better.
  4. Someone actually sticking up for you, and defending you. That's the ultimate test of loyalty.
  5. Having a dream that I am Blair Waldorf and I pretty much am amazing. I have my same beautiful face, just her clothes and hair. Oh and her attitude. Mr. Chuck Bass?
  6. Telling someone how you honestly feel, and hearing their honesty back. There is nothing more freeing than talking about what is going on inside your head and hearing what's going on in there's. 
  7. Footloose!
  8. Falling asleep and then getting gently woken up. 
  9. Listening to someone play the guitar and thinking that no one is watching them or listening to them. 
  10. BFF's. Love them.
  11. Love. In all kinds and forms, it's just pretty much the most awesome thing every. And even doing something awkward and it doesn't matter because well it just doesn't.

Tunnel Vision

Ever fear that there's no light at the end of the tunnel? Like literally you think, I'm never going to see the end of this? 
I had an "a-ha" moment last night. Maybe the end of the tunnel isn't supposed to be figured out. Maybe that's the purpose of life, to just keep on pushing, having confidence that eventually you'll see the light. Faith is having confidence in someone or something, and having fear is exactly the opposite.

It is so hard to not have fear. Fear is easy to succumb to, it's easy to be afraid. It's hard to have faith. More often than not good things are hard things. It's so hard to trust others, to let others in, fearing that they might hurt you. The more you trust someone or something the more vulnerable you have to become. You just have to have faith they won't hurt you, they will love you no matter the problems. This has come full circle for me, remember this post about unconditional love? It's amazing how much I learn from other people, and how much they teach me about myself. They teach me that love really has no end, it can grow.

I'm pretty sure that I've learned more about myself, and relationships with those I love in the past year than in the whole other 27 years I've been alive. Isn't that funny? There are no coincidences, things happen for a reason, whether it's being at the movies and running into someone or deciding that morning not to go to work. All things are for my benefit, and having faith believing that very thing is what life is all about. No need to be afraid of that dark tunnel, I've got a flashlight and hands to hold onto until I reach that light.

Let's Hear it for the Boys!

I had a great weekend. Not totally what I was planning (understatement), but still good.

Hyrum and Emma and came down and it was so good to see them. I love them. Even though they are both younger than me they are both just so wise and put together. Together they will do great things. ANYWAY, we decided to go to Footloose, only because well I've been wanting to see that movie for like ever, AND Hyrum is the best person to see dancing movies with. HA! I was a little disappointed with the music selection, but the hip-hop part was fantastic. Julianne Hough was dressed as a little skanky for the first half but you know those are her rebel times. While you are watching it though you can't help but dance along, and even sing to the classic songs. For anyone who loved the first one, you'll love this one just as much. Secretly I was hoping for a Kevin Bacon cameo, but alas I was disappointed.

We left and went and danced our hearts out and sang a lot to the Footloose songs. Memories like that, I will never forget.

Saturday consisted of me getting a massage, some temple time, some soul searching, and Gator Jacks. Oh, and Taylor's birthday party which was fantastic. Emma's family is just great. That night I also went to the movie Real Steel. Can I just say that Hugh Jackman is amazing? Everything about him. Delightful. Also the movie had like 3 songs with Eminem in it... love.

Sunday was good, it was chill (and I loved that). Said goodbye to Hyrum and Emma. I even managed to fit in a little Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Ok so maybe I turned it on and watched like 2 songs, that still counts right? Sunday was good, the silly rain interrupted my walk to the river. Sometime this week, has to be done. Snow is right around the corner.

 My beautiful sister, jamming out!
 Love her.
 Crazy cats.
 Ok so Mariah is doing her booty dance while I pose, and Hyrum who knows what he's doing. Funny, yes.
 At Taylor's party. 
Hunter (Emma's nephew) and Hyrum. I love Hunter's shirt, so festive!

Pretending

A lot can change in a week. I guess a lot can change in a day. I guess that's why everyday you have the chance to make it your best day.

I get sick of pretending, I've just decided that it's ok just to be me. Once I had a person tell me that there's no use in pretending, they could tell how I was really feeling anyway. Hope that's true, because well I'm tired of pretending. I wear my emotions on my sleeve (thanks mom). It's funny because really I think there are only a few people in the world who really understand how you think and know how you feel, those people are the ones you don't have to pretend around, try and hold onto them, it's the only way to survive. I found this quote by Oprah yesterday and even posted it to Facebook, because well it just summed up what I had been feeling "Anyone pretending to be something that they're not will never become all that they were meant to be..." 

One thing at a time, take baby steps, be who you are and love it.

I've never really been a person to sit there and give myself pep talks, it just sort of plays out on its own. But lately I've had to do a lot of pep talks, like literally out loud say my mantra. I am sure if someone was to walk by they would give that "you're crazy girl" look.

I'm grateful for the listeners, who don't try to solve my problems, just listen. That's all I want out of life usually, you to just listen, then hug me and say "it'll all work out" or "it's ok".

I guess I've still got a lot left to learn, silly me, thinking that I had life figured out. There's that planner in me, thinking I've got some kind of control, but it's good for me. If God makes you do it, he'll help you through it. Done and done.

As if this post couldn't be any more random and indecisive, I have a fun weekend planned. Hyrum and Emma are coming up, so we are going to Footloose (hooray!), Halloween party (I haven't figured out my costume yet, either Pirate, Gangster, Mermaid...HA), some BSU Football, take my annual walk by the river to see the trees (I can't believe its that time of year again) and some Savanna time.

Cheer to the freakin' weekend (if I drank, I would drink to it)!

Building My Foundation

I've been thinking a lot about my foundation... not literally like in my house (silly), but who I am as a person. What makes me, well me? On Sunday I was involved in a discussion about what I believe and what makes me happy. There are many components to that question obviously, and many things have shaped me into who I am. When life is hard and trials come (believe they come), you can either turn to the foundation you have built look deep and hold on to the firm grounding OR you can look at elsewhere at the "false" happiness (often covered in glitter!!).
So what have I built my foundation with? 
  1. God. The strongest part of my foundation is him. When everyone else comes and goes he's always there.  A relationship I really have to work on, but well worth it. No matter what I do or say he just patiently waits for me to figure it out.
  2. The gospel. Such a broad term, but really it's everything that I am. I know it's the only way to true happiness. Yesterday I was having a discussion about this very thing, and I know that the only way to live my best life is to live the gospel. It's hard sometimes to block out the world and go against the norm, but this truth will never let me down.
  3. Family. I am so blessed to have a mom and dad who work so hard and who want nothing but the best for me. I often wonder what I did to deserve not only a loving mother and father but siblings who care about me. My love is deep for them to the point that it makes me emotional. I make many mistakes and I have a crazy life and yet they always are there. They pick me up and dust me off and say, you can be better you can accomplish anything!
  4. Friends. Isn't it crazy how God (see there he is again) puts people in your life for a reason? Some have a huge impact on your life and some are there just to make you laugh once and awhile. With friends there are rough patches, and sometimes you wonder if it's worth it. But take it from me, they are worth it. Sometimes you have to show tough love, and sometimes you have to take a step back, but friends, people who you love and care about, those people are the ones who will help you pick up the pieces. Help form the corner of the foundation. They teach me to trust, because well they know everything about me and can hurt me and I have to trust that they won't. My friends are my family away from home.
There are a lot more things that shape who I am, that build my foundation. Even through hard times and good times maintaining a strong foundation is the only way to true happiness. The picture below is amazing, I think it describes a lot about what makes a good strong foundation - your values.


Life isn't easy. In fact most of the time it really is hard and it sucks, but there's help, and having a strong foundation is what makes it all worth it.

Manic Monday

I loathe Monday's. My entire life I have hated them. They are always the yuckiest day. I am always SO tired, and I always feel so lazy. Just so happens that Monday's are always the busiest and the most frantic. Manic Monday... TOTALLY get it. I really hate Monday's to the point that Sunday night I start to get sad. That's a problem, I'll have to fix it. I especially hate it when I have an incredible weekend, it's like HELLO your weekend is over.

Here's what I did this weekend:
  • Shopped until I couldn't shop anymore. Almost like Christmas... Almost. I purchased some amazing clothes for the fall/winter we have here. Mostly for work though, still cute, obvi. One day I will be paid to shop for others, one day...
  • Spent time with old friends. Always good, always a delight, and always needed. I forget how much I love them. How much they make me laugh, and most importantly. keep it real.
  • Sushi. I always forget how much I love it. Obsessed is a better word.
  • Shellaced my nails (look it up people). Oh my nail heaven... in LOVE. They are beautiful, and shiny, and well I'm just in love. Thank you Nellie!
  • Motorcycle rides are most delightful, especially in the fall and gave me an excuse to wear my "leather" jacket and boots. Ok so it maybe took me longer to get ready for the ride then the actual ride, but whatever!
  • Straw Maze. Haunted. It actually wasn't as bad as it has been. I mean there were other girls who were way more scared than me, so Mr. Chainsaw man chased them. I got scared a couple of times, but nothing too horrible. Except for when I got left by myself, or at the end, I didn't like that at all.
  • Spent time with my sister. Love her. Seriously funny. I wish I could live in her head for one day, I think it would be fabulous.
  • Smiled. I did a lot of that this weekend, and laughing. And maybe a little crying but good crying.
Really though, a great weekend. One I will always remember and never forget. I guess that's why I can make it through this Monday... Oh Monday!

First Snow & My Love Jimmy...

Well it's here:
Snow. Winter. Cold. Ice. Oh and it is only October 6th. Yeah, my birthday was a week ago. I got a sunburn on Saturday. Oh Idaho! Love you! So to celebrate this amazing day I busted out my Pandora Christmas Station on the iPhone. This was the first song to pop up:
Pretty much AWESOME. Good news Justin Bieber's Christmas album hits iTunes Oct. 17th! Can you say EXCITED?! Nothing says Christmas more than a JB album right?
Also today is Customer Appreciation Day at Jimmy Johns. So $1 subs for us. Kristin and I headed out during our lunch to grab some, yes, we went out into the blizzard to retrieve our beloved Jimmy Johns.
 
 The store was pretty jam packed, but we seriously were in an out in MAYBE 10 minutes. Impressive Jimmy Johns... I love you.
Look at those delicious lunches. Most fantastic. I paid more for my Diet Coke then I did my sandwich. Speaking of soda, I might have smuggled these for some certain people who love Dr. Pepper and frequent my house a lot.
Yes those are my Beats as well. I made Kristin listen to them and now she knows why I am obsessed with them, I think I will wear them as a necklace tomorrow. Just kidding, but no really, I listen to them everyday. Even my Christmas music sounds better. Now she knows why I FREAKED out when I got them for my birthday. Anyway, here's to a LONG winter I have a feeling, and to celebrating the little things today! Ciao!

Name That Tune

I had a text message conversation today that went like this:

"Savy I have a question(s), and I know you'll have the answer"

"Oh yes, I know all, please ask away"

"Where have all the cowboys gone? What if God was one of us? Isn't it Ironic?"

"Uh, is this a 1990's song revival question? To which I answer the following....
  1. The cowboys live in Wyoming, or in the small towns of Idaho. Marry a cowboy was the only marriage advice I was ever given. So stick with that.
  2. God is like one of us (sort of), he isn't a slob or a stranger. We are his children
  3. What is Ironic? Rain on a wedding day, or a free ride when you've already paid."
"Ok I'm glad cowboys exist, I really want one for a husband. God is among us, that gives me comfort. I hate irony, it's such a negative thing, don't you think? Wait what do you mean 1990's song revival this are legit questions I have. Those questions are all SONGS? WHAT???"

"Wow... and I thought you would laugh at my witty answers, because well they are all part of the songs... WOW. Who thinks of questions like that, you are officially weird. Love you, but odd."

"I'm all sorts of confused now. Maybe I should look them up huh?"

Now riddle me this, how ironic was this conversation? Like good advice that you just can't take....

That is my silly story for the day. If only my life were as carefree as some profess theirs to be. Don't you ever wonder if today will be the day that something will go your way so I'll hold on for one more day (wow there I go again quoting songs...)?

More BSU, and Drama (HA!)

What a crazy weekend I had. Maybe crazy isn't the right word, fun? Yes. Drama? Yes. Sun-burnt in October? Yes. Since it was General Conference weekend and the end of my birthday week, I topped it off with a trip home and a BSU game. Awesome. Brycen and Mariah both had to take tests Friday afternoon so I left work early and got everything packed and then we went and picked up Mariah. On our way from leaving her apartment we totally saw this girl SKID (no I'm not exaggerating) across the pavement after falling of her Razor Scooter. SO FUNNY. Sad, but funny. There were a lot of people around, so I'm sure she's chalk it up to one of the most embarrassing moments... We were only 5 minutes into our trip and I knew it was going to be great. Next we saw two barely dressed girls doing Yoga outside of Tuscany right by the round-about. Ok seriously? You can do that ANY place else? Ugh, Brycen yelled at them to get some clothes on. On our way outside of Pocatello we even saw a guy on his motorcycle wearing Ugg Boots. Yes, 80 degrees outside and on a motorcycle wearing THOSE shoes. Funny. Anyway, we made our way to Parma just in time for halftime for a PHS Football game. Maddie is just so cute! After the game (and an experience in the parking lot which included Brycen teaching a boy a lesson about minding his own business), we went home. So good to be home, and so good to see everyone! I love that my entire family lives in Parma so I can see everyone at once. It makes me happy! Sidenote* - see in Parma there's always drama, that's just how it is, love it or leave it I guess, and because of the incident in the parking lot and many other things that made for an even more eventful night. I would say that B would fit right in! HA!

The next day was the BSU game and it started at 12:30 p.m. It was already hot when we got there, and the whole afternoon we pretty much roasted. We had great seats though, really close to the field, and I got some great pictures. I had so much fun, I love BSU. Dad and Hyrum came with B and I, and we yelled and hollered along with everyone else. The only downside, we wanted beverage, and it's like $3 for a small bottle of water and I won't tell you what I spent for a lemonade... ugh! Anyway, it was a good game, and we won. I had a lot of fun! That night we all played Buzzerwizzer, such a fun game! Trivia mostly which means Mom or Austin will win, but I did a pretty good job considering, it was still fun. Playing board games with my family is one of my top 5 favorite things to do!

Sunday was conference, which was so good, per usual. My mom and Kenzie made some amazing food, and we chatted. We watched some more conference and then headed home. I wish I lived even a smidge closer, grateful that 5 hours isn't that long, but still, I would like to minimize that number a little. Overall I had a fun weekend with drama and a LOT of laughing. Always a good thing. Perfect way to end my birthday weekend 2011, now I only have 360 days left until my next celebration.
 B and I before kick-off. I have squinty eyes because of that darn sun. Oh well. Super cute picture nonetheless! We had a lot of fun, I love football!
 Dad and Hyrum at the game!
 Here come the Broncos! Goosebumps!
 OK, guy in the orange shirt was a tad crazy. OK a LOT crazy. He loved to taunt Nevada, and screamed a lot at the referees. Funny.
 My love Kellen Moore. He's just pretty much amazing.
B and I during halftime. Pretty much on the field, yeah we are important.
Finally, this kid. Not only is he talking and turning into a full fledge little man, he's so cute and so funny. He loved my headphones that I got for my birthday, and he would just stand there and dance. So cute!
