*Concert Mania*

This Wednesday, a ton of my friends and I went to the 'Boys Like Girls Concert.' It was so MUCH fun! There were five bands there: for one price $. The bands were; Versa Emerge, Rocket Ship, The Maine, Cobra Starship, and Boys Like Girls.

At the beginning of the concerts, we were more towards the back than the front. By the end of the concert we were in the front row. It was AMAZING!!! Me and my friend were super good at making our way through crowds. Everyone at the concert was so nice and fun to be with. I saw so many people, friends, and classmates from Burley.

I also got really lucky and caught two guitar picks that the band threw out to the crowd. I felt so lucky! We also got to go on stage with the band. At the end of the concert I also found one for my friend to have. We had an amazing time, and it was well worth it

FHE:~Teton Haunted Mills~

Well it's that time of the week I look forward to every week. Monday Night: FHE!!!! The best day of the week!
This Monday, Jordan and Kinzi decided that it would be fun to go the Haunted Mills. It was family night on Monday, so we got in for cheaper. 1/2 the price, and when your a collage student, you take every discount you can get your hands on.

I went previously on Friday on a date with Nathan Ramsey, my FHE brother. We quadrupled with the rest of our FHE brothers. We had so much fun! They made us dinner at their apartment, and then we headed over to the mills. I was so scared. We went in groups of four. We were so scared couldn't even go in at the beginning. We finally got in and then hit a really dark spot and didn't know where to go. We were there for like 5 minutes because we were all so scared to go. But we had so much fun, and I got really really scared. My favorite part was the wobbly bridge over the waterfall and raging waters. It sounded so cool. Afterwards, we went to Craigo's and got dessert to take home. It was so yummy! Then we ended the night with a movie, Moulin Rouge.

The Second Time through the haunted mill was even scarier than the first. I think half of it was we only had two guys for six girls. Vanessa, Mandie, Jordan, and I went in a group together. We were screaming, mainly me, the whole way through. By the end I was so sore from running and screaming. Afterwards we had hot chocolate and donuhts. What a fun FHE activity!

Daddy's Little Girl

Yesterday was my Dad's birthday, and I just wanted to let him know how much I love him and hope he has a FANTASTIC Birthday! Even though I couldn't be there. Last week, when I was down for the weekend, we celebrated it a little bit early, so that I could be there. We went and bought him a YUMMY dairy queen ice cream cake! I sure do love them. After conference, and dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Blaine's, we came home and had a little birthday party for him. Just the six of us, but that's all we needed. It was the perfect ending to a great weekend. Dad, thanks for all you have done for me and for always being their for me. Every since I was a little girl, I could always come to you, climb up on your lap, and cry on your shoulder. You were always there to comfort me and make me feel better. Now that I am gone, I still have your shoulder to cry on, laugh to, or share my moments with, or just to have hold me and make me feel better and safe. You have always gone the extra mile to make sure I have everything I ever wanted or needed. You make sure my experiences are the best. And you always encourage and support me in everything I do. I look forward to coming home and giving you a giant hug, just because I love you and you make me feel safe and happy. Dad, Thanks for all you do and being the best dad anyone could ever ask for. And always remember, that I'm your "little girl" and I always will be. And thanks for marrying the greatest mom in the whole world. My life would not be complete without the two of you together and forever. You two are the best. Happy Birthday dad and I Love You!

*Winter * WonderLand*

This morning, while at was at home in Burley, I woke up to 4 inches of snow....in October. I LOVE Snow, but wasn't quite prepared for it. Although, it was a beautiful morning, I was worried about heading back to Rexburg in these conditions, and so were my parents. I was almost ready to pull out the Christmas tree and start signing Christmas carols, because it felt like Winter. I'm really starting to get into the snowboarding/mountain mode. I can hardly wait to go! It was a wonderful conference sunday, full of great talks from inspired speakers. In between sessions my family and I went grandma and grandpa Blaine's for dinner. It was so YUMMY!!! Spare Ribs, one of my favorites, and grandma sure knows how to cook them to perfection. Came home and found Mason and Mariah out in the snow picking apples for me to take back to college. They are the best and certainly know how to take care of their big sister and are always doing thoughtful things for me and surprising me! I LOVE my family, home, and nature!

~The Haunted Mansions of Albion~

Josh, Becca, Stephanie and I went to the haunted mansions in Albion. We had a BLAST!! There were three different buildings that we went into; the auditorium, gym, and then the main, scariest. It took us a while, to convince Stephanie to come with us. haha, probably since we held her captive. But it was worth it and we all had a good time. I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets scared out of my wits. The lines weren't to bad and the weather wasn't deathly cold like last year. I did though, scream like a little girl, and run and hide in a corner. But I had my friends there to protect me and keep me safe from the scary monsters! :) They are the best and have always been there for me.
