Mary Poppins, Pary City, and Jimmer....OH MY!

Holy smokes! WHAT A WEEK!!....or two weeks I guess. Get ready for a picture-filled blog post! Here are the highlights....and there are lots :)

On Wednesday one of my friends from back home in AZ, Mitchell Kroll, took me to see Mary Poppins in Salt Lake! I can't even tell you how excited I was. Mary Poppins is basically my idol. I want to be her when I grow up :) and Bert?? I'm going to marry him...just watch. Anyways, we doubled with one of Mitchell's good friends and his date. It was such a fun time and the show was INCREDIBLE! I loved it!! I can't get over it. Soooooo good. What a fun night :)




On Friday, my grandma came to Provo to pick me up to take me over to Park City to spend the night with all the Hansen girls! I didn't take any pictures from the weekend, sadly :( We had a lot of fun though. We went and ate out at a yummy Mexican restaurant, then went back to a house that we rented out to play games, eat junk, and just have girl time. The next morning we went out for breakfast and then hit the outlets for some shopping! It was fun to just have some girl time :) Thanks Grandma!!

Saturday night was the BYU vs. Utah football game.......we got creamed. haha Not a good game for BYU, but we still had fun! 




On Sunday, Aubs and Aaron had me over for dinner! It was fun to go over and see what they've done with their apartment and catch up :) Thanks guys! 


On Monday the FHE gang came over and we split up into groups to build Book of Mormon story sculptures out of Rice Krispies! We got creative and had a lot of fun building and eating our creations :)






It has been so much fun having my cousins up here to hang out with :) Here's Jeff, Daniel, and I inbetween classes. Love these guys!



My mom sent me another package this week! I'm so lucky! It had all sorts of Halloween decorations in it and lots of other fun things. Thank you mom! We're going to have fun decorating the apartment and eating the goodies :)



Thursday night was the Jimmer All-Stars Game! I didn't plan on going but my roommates are extremely convincing. haha before the game Madi, her friend Dallin, and I went out for some frozen yogurt. Yummmm. Then off to see THE Jimmer. The people there were CRAZY! Jimmer Jimmer Jimmer Jimmer Jimmer Jimmer Jimmer JJJIIIIMMMMEERRRRR!!!! If the whole Bert from Mary Poppins thing doesn't work out then I guess I could just marry Jimmer...he is engaged though, dang it! The game was so fun to watch except for the half-time show...worst. thing. I. have. ever. seen. Seriously. Jimmer's brother think that he can rap. Enough said.








Friday night was another Football game vs. UCF. Thankfully the Cougars pulled through this time. Our seats were directly in front of the BYU marching band so although we may have permanently lost our hearing we had a lot of fun. Maybe a little too much fun :)











 This morning there was a lunch for all the BYU students from Arizona! And it was FFFRRREEEEEEEEE!! They probably had enough food there to feed everyone in America. haha almost everyone left with a 2 ft. long sub sandwich to take home. They gave out prizes and everything! It was awesome! Did I mention it was free?? That's right be jealous that you're not from Arizona ;)




Phew! That's a rap!

Freshman...Round 2!

Since I have successfully gone three whole months without blogging I decided now would be a good time to do so... because I have absolutely nothing better I could be doing with my time...(sarcasm). Well to fill you in I am currently a freshman at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. Rise and Shout, baby!! I LOVE it! My roommates are the best! We have so much fun together and get along great!


If you know anything about BYU girls...you will understand the M and M's :)


 I love my ward too! All 180 or so of them. We have an awesome Bishopbric. Get this...my Bishop's wife played Lucy Mack Smith in the Joseph Smith Movie, Mary Magdalene in the Testaments, and the mom in the Disney Channel movie, Pixel Perfect! We made a whole bunch of pancakes and threw them at each other for FHE this week. Don't judge. We have to get creative :)


The whole gang :)

My classes so far have been wonderful. Biology, American Heritage, History of Dance, Jazz Dance, Living Prophets, Book of Mormon, and a personal Voice Lesson class! I think the voice lessons will definitely be my favorite. I will have the opportunity to recieve training on lots of different songs of my choice. Thankfully my sweet mother sent me a package with tons of music! Now I can have fun messing around on the piano we have in the basement! Yay! It literally felt like Christmas to get this package today! THANKS MOM!


Some of my favorites! :)


Life is wonderful! Since I am the world's worst blogger I'm going to post a few of my favorite pics from summer that I didn't post. I had an amazing summer here at the Y!!
