This is a thing!

Well, now I'm just going to shoot low and only post every Sunday. :) Just because I have some weeks that are crazy busy. Those weeks are the ones where I have to choose whether to post or sleep and obviously, sleep wins! Duh!

So, here we go for this week! (October 19 - 26)

On Tuesday (21), Rachel and I robbed the forest again. This time we got waaaay more trees! Haha 
Wednesday was Octoberfest at the Junc. It wasn't even close to as good as it has been in past years, but you know.... the Junc.
For the Prequend Jess, Bai, and I went to the North Logan Pumpkin walk! It was very fun! It was soo cool! I don't know why I had never been to it before!!
Wicked display!

Cousin Eddy display!
Friday was the Central Campus Fall Festival (Central Campus Carnival mixed with Towers of Terror). I was incharge of the haunted house! I loved it! But it was a lot of work! Everyone looked great! We scared the pee out of someone. A boy. In real life. 
Then Nik came over and we hung out for a little bit. But mostly we didn't really hang out because we  were talking and both fell asleep. Oops. Good thing I had a timer set for laundry because that woke us both up. Then he went home. Haha Apparently I was more tired than I thought. 
FOOOTBBAAALLLLLLL!! I seriously can't even believe that we played as well as we did! It was crazy!

Met Stewart Edge. He is Sherilynn's nephew, btw.


So, this happened.
We went to the howl :) It was very fun! I'm glad we left when we did!

Me, Jess, and Amanda (Jessica's sister)

My costume is just soo cute! 
Bahaha Megan sent me this! :) My mom is going to kill me when she sees it! But it made my day! :)
Happy Sunday!

If you are having a hard time with friends or loved ones, here is what helped me out today:
D&C 121:5-10
See! No longer mad at friends! The gospel is true! Now, go hug your friends and tell them you love them!

the Birthweek Spectacular!

I had the most fabulous birthweek! I spent it just like Taylor Swift would have wanted me to spend my 22nd birthday! I have nothing else to say, but I'm feeling 22.

(Bailey, Sam, Jess, Me, Jake, Charity, Melissa, and Brynne)
(10/14) We went mini golfing for my birthday!! It was a blast AND I got 2nd place! Well, I tied with Charity for 2nd! 
Jess and Bailey bought me chocolate chip pumpkin bread and cinnamon bread instead of cake for my birthday cake! They know me soo well!! <3 They are the best!

Then, since we hadn't eaten dinner, we went to Village Inn. It was like 10:30 or something! They brought my waffle out in halves.... It was strange. But we had fun!

Bailey, Nate, and I went to Walmart to get something for Nik aaand this happened. Haha it was pretty funny! Then I went to Nik's house and talked to him for a quick second. I am glad I have so many great friend!


Jess and Bai made me breakfast in bed! Pumpkin french toast and hashbrowns! Yummy!

I seriously have the best friends ever!!
After I got home, Collin came down and we went to the Haunted Forest with Mom and Megan. It was a blast!!

We're cute!
We also paintballed a bunch of zombies! It was so fun!

On my birthday, I went shopping with Mom and Jake. Then we met Sherilynn and Josh at the hospital in Park City and at at the Cafe there. It was surprisingly delicious! 

My super great birthday Snapchats! (minus the one of Nathan, James, and Speedy singing.)


Caytee took me out for dessert! Cheesecake Chimichanga. It's a thing. A very delicious thing and everyone should eat one!
I got a perfect sunset on my birthday!

Then I hike the Y with DeBryn and some of her friends! After that, I went to McKenna's house and while I was there, my car got booted. :( But I got it off for free because it was my birthday. A little birthday miracle!

(10/17) Megan and I went through all of the Halloween stuff and I finished my costume! I am stoked to wear it!
Princess Andee!


I went to McKenna's for a sleepover and we carved pumpkins! This was our creation!

The next morning, McKenna was in the BYU homecoming parade! So, I went with LaNay!

I love this girl!
These kids though! I love them!

Megan, McKayla, and I went to take Megan's senior pictures... but my car broke down up in Cascade Springs. :( Dad, Grandpa, and Mom came and rescued us!

I officially finished my costume! It is soooo cute! I am wayy excited to wear it!

My fall cake! I love it!

You are my sunshine (10-11)


We went to Abi's funeral. It was a very special day! Abi is now in heaven painting the sky pink and helping God teach those in heaven. I am grateful for her example on earth and I feel like 10 years was not long enough for everyone to learn as much as we possibly could from her. 
The Miracle Foundation Mascots were her pallbearers. 

These guys are heroes to so many children! I am grateful for them and for their ability to make cute Autumn smile because there has been nothing more heart breaking in my life than seeing her say goodbye to her big sissy. No child should ever have to do that, but she is strong!


If I could properly portray my emotions in a simple blog post, I would, but I can't. I don't have words. But I do want everyone to appreciate that Bumble from the Bees danced with Autumn and had her laughing! Laughter is contagious!! I know Abi wants Autumn to be happy. This was the best part of the day!
After the services, we went to dinner (for my birthday) at Olive Garden. 
They sang Happy Birthday to me and I got some Raspberry Cheesecake and Pumpkin Cheesecake! It was delicious! Also, they screwed up our order so bad that they paid for our meal!!

Then I went to the homecoming football game! I am glad that I have great friends!

(Sami and Jess, just doing what we do!)

Jess and I went up to Tony Grove, it was beautiful!! 

The weather couldn't have been better and Logan Canyon is like magic! 

Then we made stuffed peppers and watched Once Upon A Time! Hopefully, Jess will get all caught up!

October 3-9

(10/9) Someone left me this note in the office when I was doing a lock out. Little did he know, I was actually having a pretty rough morning and really struggling. It made my day. (Thanks Justin, I know it was you!)
The FIG went rock climbing. It was fun! 
(I know this picture is super flattering.)

Rachel and I robbed the forest of dead trees for the haunted forest we are building for the 24! It was very fun, but definitely one of the strangest things I have ever done.


I took Nik the shirt he is wearing, that I somehow ended up with. He loved it. :) Then we went to like 10 minutes of the volleyball game and went to almost every store in Logan that could possibly sell boy shoes (in like 20 minutes) in hunt of the perfect shoes for Nik. Needless to say, he found the shoes of his dreams! Haha



(10/8) I worked, wrote a paper, had a program, then went to a corn maze with Sam and Dacy. It was very fun! Slightly difficult. We were also the only people in the corn maze, or at least it felt like it. Haha

When we were leaving, we realized that the workers just left us there and locked the gate. We were locked in! We could have been stuck in the corn maze all night!!! They made me call the police to come get us out. It was quite a hilarious experience really.

On Wednesdays we wear pink.... and we match! I love Brynners!!

(10/7) I worked literally all day long. ALL DAY! So I don't really have a picture, but I did have to make my bulletin board for staff member of the month and I came up with my top 10 things to do in Logan:
1. Aggie Athletics
2. Ryan's Place Park
3. The Windcaves
4. The Redneck Waterslide
5. All the corn mazes!!!
6. Ice skating at Merlin-Olsen Park
7.Cleaning the sing at Angie's
8. Snowshoeing
9. Paddling at 1st Dam
10. Jumpzone
(11. Sledding at the sinks!)
(10/6) I went to the O'very's house with Jessica for HE. I love their house! It is beautiful! Also, Sister O'very is one of my favorite people I have ever met in Logan! 

It was a beautiful night! I mean, just look at it!

It was our last flag football game! We lost, but it was soo fun! These kids are my favorite!

Like I said, FAVORITES!!
(Bryan Porter, Nathan, Emily, Bailey, Me, Jess, and Jake)

Jess and I brought SOOO much stuff up from the closet to our office for the haunted house!

(10/5) General Conference has come to an end... :( I love conference and I love all of the learning I do in those two days! They are simply great! I am very grateful for the opportunity to hear from living prophets of God. This is the real deal people! If you are not sure about that, pray about it! I know for a fact that you will learn for yourself if you pray with real intent to know that it is true! 

In between conference sessions, on Sunday, I played Belle at grandma and grandpa Anderson's house. Sooo many cool books!

(10/4)  HAPPY BIRTHDAY BAILEY!! 
Jess and I woke up in the PM office after a night of little sleep. :) Conference was great! Then I met my familia in Ogden for the derby! Lyn Mason was driving in it so we all went! The derby was great and there were sooo many cars! (100 to be exact, and 30 trucks!) The follow pictures pretty much sum up the night with Peyton.

Peyton did my hair.



Peyton's scary face. Haha!

In the PM office.

Good morning!

(10/3) HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENDRA!! I miss <this girl soo much. So. Much.
Anyways. I worked my monthly night shift in the office, but it was also the USU vs. BYU football game. Sooo, I watched it online (thanks to Bryan Bowers) and WE WON!!!! For the first time in forever! But really it has been like 30 something years!

Supporting the Aggies the best I can from the office!
