Oct. 7-8

What a few crazy weeks. I have a ton to catch up and I realized that I never touch on my classes, so I should say a little more about thaaat, seeing as this is college and all.

But first. Let's catch up on the social aspect :)

Laura, Shelby, Lydia, Kenny, Emily, and I at the Temple!

So on that Friday, I finally went to the temple for the first time up here! It was crazy and so different than back home.  We walked over and it was raining, lucky us. But it was still kinda fun, just different. There were TONS of people so we were only able to do 3 names for confirmations and 3 for baptisms.  The Provo Temple keeps everyone on a tight orderly schedule, which was different as well.  But it was just nice to finally be in the temple and have time to ponder.

The boys always model...and so we talk pictures of them!
From left to right: Devin, Cortney (back), Brian,
Tanner (in the hat) and Swanson.

After the temple and dinner, we had decided to do the one thing on campus that none of us had done--bowling! I was talking to my friend Cortney and he and I decided that we needed to get off campus more.  So my group of 6 girls told like 3 boys to get people together to go bowling and then start making off campus trips.  We ended up meeting a huge group of boys from our ward! Basically, our friends had gotten all of their friends in their dorms and we girls were outnumbered. We first walked down to this old fashioned malt place and BOY was it good!? As we were walking back, everyone decided that we didn't want to go bowling (well the majority--I still did!) so we decided to go in the Tanner Building and watch "How to Train your Dragon." After the movie, we played Sardines. After the first round, Whitney hadn't found the first group hiding, so we were like well now everyone go find Whitney! Turns out, the boys (Cortney, Tanner, and Swanson) pulled a fast one on us and took Whitney out of the building!!! We couldn't find any of them and they finally told us they left! After that, we messed around outside for awhile (our friend Zack decided he was going to videotape EVERYTHING, and he did! even at the beginning of this crazy adventure!) but it got too cold to bear. So we went into May Hall because we realized the lobby wasn't closed yet. We ended the night by some of the guys walking us back to Chipman. We were up WAY late. But it was such a crazy fun night!

The Family at Los Hermanos!

Saturday was the homecoming football game!! Grandma and Grandpa were up for homecoming and they picked me up that night for Kevin's birthday dinner at Los Hermanos! Another trip off campus, woo! It was some seriously good Mexican food :)

Isaac and I...Denny's Round Two

Afterwards, we bundled up for the football game, starting at EIGHT at night. Freezing. Actually, okay, it wasn't thaaat cold. We started by sitting with our friends from our ward but then went to check out our seats.  It was only a few of us in the sports pass group, Sarah, Alyssa, Charlotte, Whitney and I. So at halftime, we went back to our ward friends' spot.  We squished in with them and it was way fun! The game, however, got boring cause we were winning so everyone turned their tickets into paper airplanes and tried to get them onto the field, in the end zone. It. was. so. funny! Afterwards, Cortney suggested we go to Denny's. So half of us went to get a table and the other half had to go back to the dorms.  When the first group got there, they received word that more people were coming! So when the other like 8 people showed up, there was a huge line....and they didn't get seated until after our first group was done eating...so we decided to eat AGAIN! We ended up staying at Denny's until 2 AM and finally went back and got to sleep by like 3-ish.

Me, Whitney and Charlotte!

Oh, the college life is for me :)
