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.

Prank Night

So while walking home one night, Lindie and I decided to do some pranks. So we all put honey and peanut butter on some bread. These guys in our ward had butter thrown at their window and they blaimed us. So we decided to throw the bread at their window. Half of them bounced off and landed in the bushes. But we got about 4 pieces to smear down the window.

Then we decided to prank our Family Home Evening brothers. We filled bowls with flour and made a toilet paper trail from their door to this stone wall. We wrote a note telling them to follow the trail. We were then going to throw the flour in their faces. Haha, ya it's mean, we know.

Needless to say, it didn't work out at all. While making our toilet paper trail, the guy from the appartment that we did the bread thing to came up and asked us if we had done it. We told him that we are busy with another prank. He said they are just going to see how much food they can get on their windows.
Our FHE brothers never came out, and actually 2 of them walked right passed us. 3 of them finally came out and we weren't ready. They saw us. So we didn't know what to do. Kristen got Alden to come to her and she threw the flour but then ran into it getting it all over her and none on Alden.
So we decided to go get Sam, a guy in our classes. While walking to his appartment, he walked right past us. Carrie and Lindie went inside to get him to come out, and Kristen and I waited by the back door to get him. Well, they brought him out the front door. So we tried getting him but he realized it and backed off. Kristen saw Lindie and thought it was one of Sam's roommates so she got her. We are horrible prankers.

It was a fun night though. We didn't get any studying done of course.

Easton Michael Barnhart

My sister had her 4th baby on October 3. His name is Easton Michael Barnhart.

My sister and her family. They are all sweethearts. I love you sis and can't wait to meet that little guy!

College Adventures

For Conference weekend, Conrad and I drove up to Utah State in Logan for the football game and of course, to visit Jordan.

I thought this was funny. They are holding hands and are from competing schools on game day :D They each have their school shirts on. I didn't like that Utah State and BYU have the same colors. I was confused about who was who.

My first college football game. I only stayed for an hour because Chris drove down. It was fun though. We slaughtered them :D

Then I drove them down to Conference on Saturday. I gave Chris my ticket because I have been before and he hasn't. I went to Ann's and did wash before picking them up.

Jordan and Conrad in the back of my car.

Chris and I in the front :D It was pouring rain all the way down. I could hardly see the road 5 feet in front of me. It was scary. I prayed the whole way down.

Then we stayed Saturday night in Provo and watched Conference at my dorm. After the morning session, we made breakfast. This is what Chris did while we were slaving over the stove haha.

Here are me and my roommates. We have a lot of fun together.

Lindie

Holly. She actually wore this to dinner that night haha. We ate at the Cannon center. BAD CHOICE! All you can eat...I have never been more full.

Just a couple of changes. One: my hair is back :D. For those of you who have known me my whole life, know that I don't wear my hair back. I do now about twice a week. Two: I eat veggies now! :O I know! Who knew I would go shopping, see broccoli and cheese, and actually CHOOSE to buy it. The last two times Chris and I went to dinner, I got steamed veggies with my meal and ate it all. It's so weird. I don't have an explanation.

Here are some videos of my roommate Holly.

I apologise that they are fuzzy. I realized after that I had them set to text message format instead of high-quality videos. You also can't hear Holly too great, but this is the only way to show you how much fun we have. Holly cracks me up. At night, she gets really slap happy and everything she says and does make me laugh. It's distracting from my homework actually. But my word, we have a lot of fun.

Chris and College

So Chris and I were in different states all summer. We spent a lot of time texting and calling. The day that we flew into Salt Lake from Europe, Chris was there too. He waited in the airport for 8 hours until we got there. I was so excited. I couldn't sit still on the plane.

Then we spent the next two weeks at my family's house in West Jordan. This is us at Lagoon.

Driving around. We spent a lot of time at Jordan Landing going to dinner, going to the movies, or walking around Walmart.

We went to Temple Square. It was Chris's first time. We had a blast.

He went to my school's orientation with me and got me settled in my dorm.

Here are some ducks that swim in this little creek by my dorm. We watched them for awhile.

Here we are at Hogey Yogey!

Chris's hair was getting really long in the back so I cut the back for him. He had his hair like this for about a week before he got the rest cut. It was my first time cutting hair. As you can tell, I was nervous.

Here's my dorm! Gates Hall in the Heritage Halls.

Our lobby. We are on the second floor.

My messy room. My sheets and pillow are in my car because I was just headed out to Logan. Mine is by the window. Holly's bedframe is too big for our doorway. It cracks me up because she's really frustrated with it, not that I like my roommate being frustrated. We can hardly open our door. We have to squeeze through. It's rediculous.

My roommates on the way to Family Home Evening.

Lindie and Carrie. They are from Highland and American Fork, Utah. They are in just about all of my classes so we hang out a lot.

My roommate Holly and Kristen. Holly is from Cedar Hills, Utah and Kristen is from Washington.

Kristen's roommate Sarah and Holly.

My new car!!! It's a 1999 Ford Taurus. I love it so much!

On my way home from getting it.

Chris got me these sweet seat covers for my birthday. They look really good in my car.

Oh yeah...its back.

My Birthday!!

My grandma Huntington makes these all the time for the grand kids but she stops after they become teenagers. I asked her to make one for me. I love them so much.

My roommates got me this dessert and sang to me.

My roommates also decorated our dorm with balloons. This is Kristen.

Lindie with Carrie's balloon. It has Chris and I on it.:D

Sarah

Lindie

Carrie's Birthday

We got up early and decorated the kitchen.

I am loving college so much. I have the best roommates and my classes are really good. It is a lot of work but I am glad that I am here. I love and miss my family and friends so much though.
