Colorado and College

Haha I know most of you don't even bother to check my blog anymore, but I promise I will try harder this year... Anyways, I'm back at BYU and I'm all moved into my apartment at Liberty Square. My mom, dad, and Julia helped me get all settled in.

On our way to Provo, we stopped in Colorado to visit my Grandma. It was so fun because Julia flew out with Jaron. One day we went to Mesa Verde National Park. It was so interesting to see the ancient cities carved into these cliffs.

I'm supposed to be the one from California; how is Julia, the one from rainy Oregon, so much tanner than me?? It ain't right.

I have so many pictures of Jaron from the trip. I couldn't stop taking pictures of him he's just so dang cute!

Photoshoot!

My friend Sarah is majoring in photography so we decided to have a photoshoot...

Fire Breathing and Such...

Our tongues are red because we ate snow cones..

Don't be alarmed... this is safe it just looks dangerous. If you light the end of a newspaper, fill your mouth up with corn starch, and then blow on the flame, it will make a very exciting "poof" as seen below

Then we just experimented with picture-taking, using a really long exposure on the camera so that we could write things and make really cool-looking pictures. This is supposed to say "Tay"

Someone wrote their area code...

And this was done with a cellphone...

Fun Times at BYU

Our ward activity on Saturday was a kickball game in which everyone had a disability. My disability was that I had to run in a grapevine. Some people were blindfolded, some people had to tie their arms to their body, some had to carry a prop, and some had to hop on one leg. It was pretty funny to watch... and then we had fun with a big slip & slide......

For family home evening we went ice blocking...

I'm So Collegiate (as Erin would put it)

This was my dorm room when I first walked in. As you can see, it kind of looked like a room inside of a mental institution or something. Boring and generic...

And this is my room after I added all of my own personal touches...

This is what I will look like when I am studying

Julia, my Mom, and Cori made me this gorgeous quilt for my bed. I absolutely LOVE it with all of the bright colors and patterns and it makes me happy. It makes me feel like I'm close to them when I get homesick.

This is what I look like when I'm getting my mail at college. Aren't I so grown up?
