This week was a good one!!

Cleaning the sink at Angie's!! My roommate Hillary and I's birthdays are less than a week apart and since I was home for my birthday we decided to all go out and celebrate together. Hillary is that beautiful blonde sitting next to me. We each received a visor that had been custom made by Alyssa and Heather, what sweethearts. The boys that went with us are our neighbors.

I went home again the next weekend because Tyrel and Lisa were going and I wanted to spend some time with them. They picked me up Friday night and we got home pretty late. Saturday we spent the day watching the BYU game, well I did homework in the same room that everyone else watched the game in. What can I say? That night we decided to go Geocashing and this was what we found once we got there. It was very far from our house, it was just on the opposite side of the river from David's on the bridge going over Fall River.

We came home Sunday after church and while Orrin was awake (which was for about fifteen minutes) he was all smiles. We had just stopped so that Lisa could feed him in Pocatello then he fell right back to sleep. I had to share this super cute one of him smiling though.

This year has had it's changes that have come with it. New roommates, new apartment, new classes, and having to meet our new neighbors. BUT, the two things that hasn't changed is that the boys FLOCK to my roommate Heather and the fact that we have to embarrass her as much as possible because of this. We left this note on the door for her and her date to read when she got home. You may be thinking that I am exaggerating when I say that they FLOCK to her, but she was getting home from her third date of the week and still had another one to go on that week and it was only Wednesday!

We felt that the only solution to the problem was to let people know that we were...available. So when you walk past our apartment this is what you see, however, I'm a little worried that people might really be reading desperate. :)

Saturday morning bright and early Alyssa and I could be found picking up our Bountiful Basket that we ordered. We are sharing with everyone in our apartment and I think that it may still be too much food. No, we are actually really excited to have so many fruits and veggies.

There is quite the story to go along with this picture and this is it. Heather wanted to hook Alyssa up with one of her friends named Miles (Alyssa and Miles are the couple on the right end of the group) so they set it up so that Alyssa and Miles could go together and then Miles would set Heather up with one of his roommates, his name was Nick. (Nick and Heather are the second couple in from the left, both wearing blue) Then Mollie, who also knows Miles, wanted to go too. She asked a boy that was in our ward last year to go, Jared. (Jared and Mollie are the couple in the very middle) Heather then insisted that Hillary and I come too, so we set Hillary up with Kaley another boy from our ward last year. (Kaley and Hillary are the couple on the left side) Then Heather asked Miles to set me up with another one of roommates. The date was all set and we were all ready to go when Heather got a phone call saying that my date wasn't had bailed out on the date. Well I was just going to stay home but half of the guys were already there and they decided that that wasn't going to work so they started calling to see if someone wanted to come with us. Kaley got a hold of his friend Brian and he said that he wanted to come so I was back in on the date. (We are the last couple that you haven't looked at yet :) We went to Smith's and bought stuff to make a picnic then we went to the park and ate. We finished out the date by playing a little bit of sand volleyball. Now, you may think that the story is over but you would be mistaken. That night my roommates and I went to a birthday party. We were talking to a guy that Hillary knows and somehow it came up that we had been on the date with Miles. When we bought up Miles name Andy (the guy that we were talking to) said "Oh Miles, he's my roommate!" At that point we all made the connection and I asked him if he was suppose to have come with us.... He was! That was the moment that he realized that I was the girl that he had stood up. We talked for a little bit and I told him that it was fine because we had fun without him when he called to apologize, but I also gave him my number because he felt bad and wanted to make it up to me, so this story is to be continued...

USU vs. Frezno State!! We all get dressed into our Aggie blue and headed to the game.

This is all of us gone crazy because it was so HOT!!! At this point the sun had finally gone down behind the stadium and wasn't baking us all to the bleachers.

Here We Go With Round Two!

Zak came with me to move into my new apartment and we loaded Little Red to the max. Every earthly possession that I own was in the back. We headed off at about 6.

That night we met my parents in Brigham City to go to dinner and so that Zak could go home with them. They had been in Provo moving Tyrel from Rock Springs. We all had an early start to the day so by this time we were all exhausted.

On Sunday I headed down to West Jordan to a missionary farewell of one of my friends from last year, I had to go use the bathroom and on my way I passed this sign on the kitchen door. I had to stop and wait for a lady to walk down the hall so that I could take this picture but I thought that it was hilarious.

This is all of us that went to his farewell. We are starting to get low in numbers because all of them are leaving on missions but it's always great to get the few of us back together again.

First day of classes! As you can tell there are quite a few mixed feelings going on. A little bit of happiness, a dash of excitement, a pinch of dread, and a smidge of nervousness. Put it all together and you've got... well this picture.

This was Alyssa and I trying to make studying not as horrible. It was a nice day outside so we headed out with a blanket and our books. However, I think that we got less done because every time someone walked by they stopped to talk to us, I guess we're just that popular. :)

We went to the fair and I was loving it. We spent a lot of time in the horse barns but I forgot to take any pictures because I was just so excited to be in there I think. This was outside they were washing their teams.

I went home for my birthday, the big 20! I am no longer a teenager but I think that little to nothing is going to change. Grandma and Grandpa Murdoch, Connie, Kiana, Jonathon, Logan, and Grandpa Clark came for cake. Grandma actually brought one of my two cakes. I received lots of messages from all my family and friends. It was a great day!

While I was home I decided to take some pictures of the area and things that I love to do while I am there. I took this picture of my boots and new spurs. It was the first day that I got to ride in my spurs so I felt it extremely worthy to go in my book.

This is another picture that I took. This is my horse Azul, you can't tell here because of the black and white but he is a blue roan, hence the name.

After a great weekend at home it was back to school and homework. We all had to go to a performance for our art class. We went to Sweet Honey in the Rock and I LOVED it! It was a group of five black ladies and they were way fun to watch.
