go Utes!
Jeri and I went to the Utah vs. Air Force game on Saturday. It was so much fun. It poured for like 5 minutes at the begininng and then stopped. But we were soaked and it was really windy, so that made for a very cold rest of the game. But I loved the atmosphere and of course the football. It was actually a really good game to see too cuz it was pretty intense. They went into overtime and of course Utah ended up winnning!

seaworld in utah
Seaworld comes to my company and brings some animals for us to see every year. I was a little bit disappointed with it this year, it was quite a bit better last year. But oh well, we saw a few really cool animals and it's on work time so that's always good :)

happy birthday to me
So, my birthday was over a month ago but I had to show off the cool presents I got. I am now officially legal. Woot woot!
I have already gotten much use out of this baby. LOVE IT!
my bestie Jeri got me this awesome blanket. it is so so soft and I love love love it
my cutest little sunbeam Eli got me these flowers :)
I got plenty of other little things which I'm also very grateful for, but these are the couple I actually took pictures of. It was a good day :)

whatever word is stronger than ecstatic
is how I feel about November 20th. I know when you hear that date you know exactly what I'm talking about. I bought my ticket today. Friday, November 20th at 1 oclock will bring much happiness to my life. I had no desire to go to the 2:30am showing this year. I think that would be due to the fact that I wanted to slap pretty much every girl in that theater last year. We're in a movie. You don't clap and scream and tell Edward how much you love him. He can't hear you. Plus I didn't feel like not getting any sleep that night AND I told myself I can be patient enough to wait until one in the afternoon. I sure am growing up.

such a homemaker
...I am becoming. While Andrew & I were dating I made dinner every Saturday & Sunday cuz those are the days he was around at that time. I have decided that I actually like cooking quite a bit. The problem is now I'm back to just myself and it's really a pain to only cook for myself. So anyways, I've been following a couple baking blogs and I saw this recipe and decided I just had to try it.
totally stole this pic off her website cuz mine sure didn't look like that
She calls them "The Motherload Layered Cookie Bars". And holy crap, they were amazing! I made a couple changes myself. I didn't put chocolate chips in the chocolate cookie dough and I didn't put the chocolate on top, I just thought that might be too much. I was in heaven when I tried one of these bad boys. I brought them into work to see what other people thought and I kid you not, they were gone in like less than a minute. I've already had people asking me when I'm gonna make them again. This is definitely a recipe I will continue to use in the future

gotta love missionaries
Sorry to keep posting videos, but I see ones such as this and it seriously cracks me up so I figure other people would enjoy it too. Watch if you please, ignore if you don't :) I posted the lyrics from this song below just in case you can't understand everything he says. He's pretty dang funny.
Hey there Delilah, whats it like at BYU?
Im just a quarter mile away, but feel so far away from you,
But that will do,
Cuz two years from now Ill be with you,
I know thats true.
Hey there Delilah, dont you worry about the distance,
Few more months and I can call you both on Mothers Day and Christmas.
Close your eyes,
Then just think of suits and ties,
But not other guys.
Cuz, you said youd wait for me,
O, you said youd wait for me,
O, Im at the MTC,
O, Im at the MTC, at the MTC.
Now have some patience and dont think of dating Conner,
Cuz two more years you may be done with school,
But Ill return with honor.
I cant wait,
Just two more years till our next date,
It will be great.
O when you told me I was the love of your life,
And I just held you close and kissed you just like Ill kiss my wife.
We said goodbye,
And I gave you my favorite tie,
Theres no need to cry.
Cuz, you said youd wait for me,
O, you said youd wait for me,
O, Im at the MTC,
O, Im at the MTC, at the MTC.
There were RMs who made fun of me and said youll never wait for me,
To them I say oh ye, of little faith.
Cuz weve been dating for two months and I think that thats long enough,
To know someone enough to feel this way.
I carry your picture with me and talk about you constantly,
Im driving my companion insane,
And youre to blame.
Woke up this morning, checked the mail right at dawn,
And just believe me girl how shocked I was to read those words,
Dear John, I think were through,
I meet a guy better than you,
Go ahead and cry if you want to,
Sincerely Delilah, missing you,
P.S. were through.
O, you didnt wait for me,
O, you didnt wait for me,
O, you didnt wait for me,
O, and Im only at the MTC, at the MTC

oh life
Every time I feel really motivated to blog and feel like I have something worth blogging about, I don't have a chance to blog. And then when I do get a chance, I can't remember what I wanted to say, or frankly I just don't feel like blogging :) Here are the bullet point updates of my life for the last month or so. In no particular order...
- I am unengaged. Most people that read my blog would know that already, but I needed to write an official update. I broke off my engagement with Andrew the day after Labor Day. It ended really "well" meaning there really isn't any hard feelings between us or anything. He was really hurt and upset at first, but he wrote me an email a couple days after and said that after he had been able to sit back and think about it too, he didn't feel it was right either. So, I hate the fact that I've now been engaged before... I kind of wanted it to be a one time thing, but oh well. It was for the best and I will find someone one day who is better fit for me.
- Andrew and I took the girls to the zoo and it was so much fun. Last time I was at the Hogle Zoo was years ago and it was having a bunch of work done and was only like half the size that it is now. So I was pleasantly surprised at how much bigger it was. Baylie and Avrie had a blast and I always love taking them to stuff that they actually enjoy. (pictures to come)
- Ron & Lori's anniversary was on Sept 26. They went to Park City for the night so I got to watch Riley from Friday afternoon to Saturday night. That was awesome of course. I love that kid so freakin much. Friday night we went to Avrie's soccer game and then over to Jodi & Mike's to see them for a bit. Ri & Kay were really cute together and he is so much bigger than her. Saturday morning we went out to Baylie's soccer game, came home and tried to get him to take a nap. He was in his crib for almost 2 hours but didn't sleep a wink. I had tickets to take the girls to the circus that afternoon so since I had Riley I brought him with. Mom came with us too because I actually had a ticket for Andrew since I hadn't planned on not being with him at that time :). The circus started out awesome and I was really excited... but I had a 1 year old that hadn't taken a nap and he was not a happy camper. So I didn't get to enjoy much of the circus, but again, the girls loved it and that's what matters. After the circus we got home and I put Riley down right away and he was out cold. Mom had her RS Presidency over to watch the RS broadcast and Carrie and Jodi came over to watch it too. About a half hour before Ron & Lori came to get Riley I went and got him out of his crib and he stayed asleep so I got to cuddle with him that whole time which was amazing. So that was a really good weekend for me. Really, any time I spend with Ri is pretty much the best.
- #15 & #16 are on the way!!! Jodi & Missy announced on the same day that they are both expecting. I'm super stoked about that.
- I went to the Scarlet Pimpernel for the first time and holy crap it was AMAZING!! I absolutely loved it and it hasn't left my CD player since that day :)
- Oh, duh! I turned 21! Haha, I really almost forgot about that. Sept 22 I became legal. Not that that has any significance to me because I don't do anything that requires that I be legal. I can however drive a rental car if the occasion ever calls for it. I had a good birthday, I'll post pictures and talk about that more in it's own post.
- I have started dating again. Not a lot but starting to. That's been fun. I have a couple guys that I'm pretty interested in right now. But, I have new rules and guidelines for myself in that area. I have learned a lot :) So, I am having fun and nothing serious is going to happen for a while.
- My pops and I went and did baptisms together. This is a significant event because it's the first time in about 9 years that we've gone to the temple together. So that was special and I'm glad I got to do that with him. We're gonna go down to Manti one Saturday this winter. I love that temple and I really want to go in it. I would really like to be married there, but we'll see if that's gonna work when the time comes.
Alrighty, I think that is all the updates I'm due for right now. I will try to be better about keeping up with this thing. It's a lot easier when there's fun events going on in my life. Which I guess looking at this post there has been quite a bit, but I have really been dreading talking about breaking the engagement off. But, it's all good now. I'm happy and moved on :)
