My Brother Can Date???

On Saturday my brother, Justin, went on his first date. I can't believe he is old enough to date! (The weirder thing is that on Monday he picked me up in his car to go to the mall to help him find a tie...he is supposed to be sitting in the passenger seat...NOT ME!!!) Anyways, the date was for the homecoming dance. Before the dance him and his date and one other couple went to the BYU football game (which could not have gone any worse...the game, not their date), but they had fun. And then they went to the dance and afterward they got ice cream. It sounds like they had a great time. Here are a few pictures.

Masquerade!

On Saturday Richard and I went to a Masquerade Ball fundraiser. We were volunteering at the event so for the first few hours we were working and then we got to play and enjoy the evening. It was so great! There was all sorts of amazing entertainment. They had jugglers, belly dancers, fencers, ballroom dancers, and a live band for dancing. It was a really fun night and it was so fun to see everybody's costumes and how into it everybody got. The fundraiser was put on by an organization called "In Our Own Quiet Way". They are so great! Check them out at quietway.org

NEW RANKINGS

The first week of college football rankings (besides preseason) are out! BYU has jumped ELEVEN spots becoming the 9th ranked team in the nation! :D We passed 8 teams that were ahead of us in the preseason poll. Those teams are: Cal, LSU, Boise St, Oklahoma, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, TCU and Utah. And also, 2 other teams that were ahead of us, Oregon and Florida State, have dropped out of the top 25.

GO COUGARS!

Labor Day

Labor Day was great, I always love the days when Richard gets to be home for more than just a couple of hours in the evening!
In the morning we had a little breakfast with some couples from our ward, it was fun and delicious!
Then we went to Park City with my family, it was really fun. We went to lunch at Baja Cantina, which was delicious. Then we went and walked around the outlet mall for a little bit. I found some really cute naturalizer brand shoes on sale for 15 dollars and I was really excited, so I bought them! :D It was a very fun way to spend the holiday

Reminiscing

Last night my freshman year roomies came over for dinner and dessert. It was so fun to see everybody. Even though we are still all in Provo we don't get to see each other very often. One of my roomies is getting ready to go on a mission so I am glad that we all got to get together because in 18 months when she gets back, who knows where we will all be...here is a picture of us our freshman year with some of our FHE brothers.

Love you girls!
