Weddings and More Weddings...

Well since I moved down to Arizona, I have made many new friends who I've grown to love dearly! One thing that I have learned for sure is that this is the time for a lot of weddings and lots and lots of couples!! Gotta love the Institute... I have made many friends, but I also have married off many of my friends! I met my friend Rachelle in May after she graduated and moved here...We clicked right away and had a lot of laughs! September 13...she got married! Yes just graduated and married within 4 months! I am extemely happy for her and her hubby, and this last weekend was her recepetion in Thatcher so I went to see her in her beautiful dress!!!

Game Night!

Every sunday night our group of friends get together and hangs out...well this past sunday we wanted to play a game, but couldn't think of one to play. So my friend Kyle thought of the "Flour Game" We took a plate of flour and made a tower of it then out a Reeses pieces on top then took a butter knife and took turns cutting away from the tower..whoever knocks the tower down had to go in and eat the candy without using hands...lets just say there was flour everywhere, but it was so fun. There was only 3 of us that hadn't lost and it was my turn and my friend Nephi decided he would help me out and hit my arm...I lost! It was a fun night and can't wait to do it again!

After I lost...flour is not good...ha

Research Paper..Help!

So for my National Politics class I have to write a research paper on a controversial topic, so I was deciding between abortion and the death penalty. For the paper I have to explore both sides of the issue and take a stand...well I am firm on my stand with abortion, but I think I would have trouble exploring both sides so I turned toward the death penalty. I have books from the library and I've called my mom, dad, and brother-in-law Brandon to get advice and also their stand on it. Like my mom and dad, I am on the fence, Iam for it in some cases, but I understand the other side also. I was wondering what the church stood on the subject, but no one seemed to know exactly what it was, but now I am asking for your viewpoints....your comments will help me out greatly and I would love to hear how everybody feels about the subject. so please comment and tell me your viewpoint, you would be helping me out a lot! I love you all!!!

My New Love!!

Now don't be jealous, but here is my new love! I got a really good deal and just for the record (mostly for my brothers sakes because I know that they will give me a hard time) I am paying for this laptop myself! I love my new computer and am so happy that I got it!

It's midnight blue and just plain Beautiful!

The last institutue dance there was it was themed "High School Stereotypes" I went as a nerd (Jas said that it was a good idea cause I am one..I guess she is right) Jess is Prom Queen and a good one at that and Darleen is a jock...it was a fun night especially when we went to rent a movie in our outfits...yeah we got some looks.

GO EAC!!!

"We got spirit...YES we do!!" and that we did on Saturday night...It was EAC's first home football game so naturally we decided we needed to stick out a bit! That is actaully an under statement..we stuck out A LOT!!! We won the game and it was a Fun night, our friend Sarah came down from Mesa to dress up with us and We went fully crazy! our outfits consisted pof complete purple and yellow (School colors), beads, crazy hair, lots and lots of glitter and makeup, oh and of corse big fake purple eyelashes!! Can't wait to do it all again!

Mudd Bowl!

So every year at the beginning of the semester the Gila Valley Institute holds the annual Mud Bowl! A local farmer floods his field and we get to play in the mud...soo fun!! So very dirty but so worth it, sadly last year I got a lot of mudd in my ear and for months after I was sick with an ear infection and now this year I think I ate too much mudd and I was a little sick over the weekend, but all better now. My mom told me the other night that I am not banned from any furure mud bowls...I guess good thing that I'm all done anyway! Any way here are some pics of all the dirt!

Before Picture!! (Carrie, Me, Stephanie, Darleen, and Jess-Jess sprained her ankle so she had to sit out..very sad)

Stephanie, Me, and Dee...After!
