Rexburg, ID and more college

So I don't really have a whole lot to post right now. But since I'm going home next week for Thanksgiving, I thought I would get these posted so they aren't left out or mixed in with Thanksgiving. The last 3 weekends, I have gone up to Rexburg, ID to visit Chris. This video is of Chris buring paper with a lighter and hairspray. His friend Garret and his roommate Chase were there too.

Just hanging out at Chris's apartment. We spent a lot of time just sitting around, watching movies, playing nintendo, and attempting to do homework.

While waiting for Family Home Evening to start, we found these cupboards in the lobby. Lindie and Holly hid inside for a bit.

And finally, my lovely Christmas tree. My mom let me take it to college so they didn't have to move it to Missouri. I set it up about 2 weeks before Thanksgiving. I figured since we are leaving just 3 weeks after Thanksgiving, we needed to enjoy it as long as possible. :D The boot underneath is the only thing holding it up...it isn't supposed to be Santa Claus. But it looks like a good joke.

Halloween and Hanging Out

Halloween! Chris and I were Mario and Luigi. We won the costume contest at my stake's party.









We spent Halloween in Rexburg, ID at Chris's. We ordered Pizza Hut and watched Goosebumps. I haven't seen that show since probably 3rd grade. I never realized how cheesy it is :D. We dressed up and went to the store for our pumkin and Walmart. Then we watched Pink Panther since neither of us like scary movies. It was fantastic.
I thought a lot about what I normally do on Halloween. I thought of Jordan, Katie, Amy, Gabby, Nicole, and I trick-or-treating around Jordan's neighborhood for hours in the snow. Then we would go to Jordan's and exchange candy and look at what we got. This was high school, let me just say. I missed it this year, but I had fun with Chris.

The day after Halloween, we went to the African Children's Choir. It was amazing! I was in tears a couple of times. It is amazing that thousands of homeless, starving, and often parent less children in Africa are saved and given a chance through this program. It was really humbling.

Chris came to Provo the weekend before Halloween and we went to an Opera on campus. It was really fun, but it was going to be really long and we were starving. So we left after an hour and went to Applebees.

The day before, we went to see High School Musical 3 in Provo. It was really good :D. It is different than the others for sure. My roommate, Carrie, was an extra, but we couldn't find her.

A few weeks ago, we spent a Sunday night watching Ever After together. We have urges to watch movies all the time but rarely all sit down and watch one. It was fun.

Haha, this was so cute! At about 12:00 A.M. I went in the kitchen to talk to Chris on the phone. I came back in at about 12:40 and Holly was out. I got ready for bed. I had Carrie come in and see her too. I didn't know if I should throw a blanket on her and let her sleep, but she had contacts in and I thought she would want to get ready for bed. So I woke her. She sat up with big RED eyes and was so confused. She kept saying "Oh my gosh, it's 1:00 in the morning!" She then said "Did I die?!". She finally woke up all the way and we laughed about it.

We had Family Home Evening at our dorm last week. We carved pumkins and had hot choco. Once our guys saw the Nintendo 64, they started playing. They were there for awhile. Carrie and I played Mario Kart with Aaron and David and kicked their butts. They want to come back and redeem themselves. What's really funny is that the guy in the striped shirt isn't one of our FHE brothers. He just came in and joined them. He's friends with our brothers though.
