My Blog

Last week, Elizabeth, Kaysie and I decided to head up to the canyon and hike Stewart Falls. It was beautiful! The weather was perfect and the trees were all different colors. The Timpanogos track team was running the trail at the same time. I thought about joining them for a whole second, and then remembered that I have no coordination and would probably break my ankle if I tried. But here are some pics from our hike.

On Saturday, me and the girls headed up to Salt Lake for the General Relief Society Meeting at the Conference Center. There were about 15 of us from our ward that went up together. We went down to the Gateway for dinner, and then walked around Temple Square before and after the broadcast. We had great seats, right smack in the middle. I always forget how amazing it is to be at those meetings. The whole First Presidency was there, and it was the first time that I’ve been to one with Pres. Monson as the prophet. If any of you haven’t listened to the broadcast yet, I really recommend it. It makes me really excited for Conference this weekend!

Well….As you can tell, I haven’t updated my blog in awhile. I wish I had a good excuse, but I’ll just tell you now that it has been a crazy few months. I think things are finally starting to come together again. This year we had a group of friends that decided to buy tickets to the BYU football games together. There are about 15-20 of us that get together and go to the games. It has been an awesome season so far, but I have to admit that Elizabeth and I usually end up leaving a few minutes early because we start to get really bored by the end. When you’re beating a team by more than 40 pts, you just start to feel bad for them….

They’re trying to talk me into the face paint…we’ll see about that.

I shouldn’t admit this, but I took part in some bellydancing activities this summer (probably not what you are thinking!). One of my friends has been taking for years and they had her teach it for Enrichment over the summer. I’m just glad that I couldn’t see myself. I’m sure it looked even worse than I thought it did! The pic of the sunset was taken at a bellydancing concert that Elizabeth, Joseanne, and I went to in support of our friend. I decided that night that I wouldn’t change my career just yet!

For Elizabeth’s birthday this year, we hosted a luau. It was crazy as we had about 50 people in and out of our house, but we had a lot of fun! We even had a special guest that attended our party…..

Yes, our friend Andrew is dressed as a banana!!

Over the summer I got to go see the Drowsy Chaperone. It was a fun broadway play featuring Jonathan Crombie (Gill-Anne of Green Gables). Christine, Elizabeth, and I went and had a great time! Kellie, I know how much you wanted the soundtrack, so I’ll make sure and get you a copy!
