These Are The Days: November 2011

If my life were a soundtrack the song currently on repeat would be, "I Love You This Big" by Scotty McCreery. I absolutely love this song, and it's how I would describe my life right now. School is going well, I have amazing friends and family, and I'm just really content with my life. Here is a little recap of what has been going on in my life: October 14th- Jen and I went to Blackfoot for the weekend. Britt needed some help getting her house ready before she had the baby (Which he will be here tomorrow! Can't wait to meet him). It was nice to have some sisterly time. We also met up with Katie Wilding at Dave's Famous BBQ for dinner. It was great catching up with her, it had been ages! October 21st- Kassie Law became Kassie Christian. Kass and Kyle got married in the Logan temple at noon and had a luncheon at Copper Mill after. The next day Marz, Katie, and I drove to Ogden to pick up their wedding video and then headed over to Boise for the reception. We were all excited for a road trip, but none of us could have guessed how exciting it would actually be! Just past Snowville we got a flat tire. The next (actual) town was Burley, which happened to be 67 miles away. About 30 miles in, we saw a big sign at a dinky gas station in Sublett that says they fix truck and car tires. Excitedly we pulled in, anxious to get rid of the donut. There were lamas outside, and the sign on the door read "Beware of Rattlesnakes." This should've stopped us... but it didn't. We trudged in, and while I went to the bathroom Marz and Katie talked to the gas station attendant. Come to find out, the sign meant you could get your tire fixed in Burley, 37 miles away. WHAT?! So stupid! And the lady acted like we were total idiots for not knowing that's what it was advertising. Weird! Being the polite person I am, as I was walking out the door I turned to the woman and said "Thanks!" She whirled around and yelled "You're welcome freeloader!" To which I replied "I will go get my wallet." And she grumbled "No, you won't." So, I proved her right and didn't go get it. Ha the next hour Marz, Katie, and I laughed about how we felt like we were in the Twilight Zone. Over an hour later we arrived in Burley and got our tire fixed. After that it was smooth sailing... until we pulled into Boise. We had reservations at Hotel 43, which happened to be near BSU's football stadium. Due to all of our delays we pulled into town right as the game got out. It took us over an hour to go 3 miles. Poor Kate who had been driving the whole time was beyond frustrated. A car full of college boys next to us were trying to flirt with us. Marz waved to them from the backseat right as Katie flipped them off. The boys freaked and were like "What?! Are you serious?!" Haha it was hilarious! Good little Katie had never flipped someone off before and instantly felt terrible. We finally got to our hotel, checked in, got ready, and hurried to the reception. Sadly, we were almost an hour late. However, once we were there we had a great time and were able to celebrate with the happy couple. October 28- Orie had a cowboy in his ward that he wanted to set me up with. So, we doubled with Jen and Orie. We had dinner, carved pumpkins, and doorbell ditched them. It was pretty fun, and the fact that he had a gorgeous truck was an added bonus :) The next day I went shopping with Jen and Orie in Layton and Ogden to find engagement picture outfits. It was a LONG day. That night Kate and I ate Chick-fila and watched Titanic. Ha it sounds kind of pathetic but it was actually just what I needed after a long day. And then for Halloween the roomies and I carved pumpkins before I left for stats. After we invited people over, ate a pumpkin shaped pizza, and watched "When I Stranger Calls." I also went to Chris and Tari's party for awhile. We played an intense game of ultimate spoons. It was good to see them and catch up. I miss living with them! Wow this has turned into a novel so I will stop now... But here are some pictures :)
