viva las vegas!

a few weeks ago me, nikki, becca, and her roommate casey went down to vegas for the byu vs. unlv football game. we drove down saturday morning, played saturday afternoon, and then went to the game. it was a good game and fun to see the cougars win.

before the game



the very next weekend, i went BACK to vegas for the utah vs. unlv football game. different group of people, but just as fun! we left late fridy night, played again all day saturday, and then went to the game that night. sunday we got up and went to church and then came back home. i never thought i'd see the day that i cheered for the utes...

at the game



work has been interesting lately - our recruiter has been having us dress up as vampires and mummies. mostly we just didn't want to go out and spend money on costumes.... soooo.... we made our own. with coflex (what we wrap the arm with after donating) and toilet paper

day 1 as vampires


day 2 as coflex and tp mummies


we smeared paint on our faces

i am horrible at blogging. life has gotten so crazy lately i hardly have time to sit down. it has been months since i have had a friday night to just hang out at home with my roommates. so we are sitting here watching the byu football game and i decided to update the blog real quick. i'll try to be better....

first matter of business: the mission papers have been started!!! it is crazy to think that i turn them in just over a month from now. time flies....
