Happy HOWLoween!

Here at Utah State we like to host a little party called "The Howl". And by little I mean that it is the biggest party in the state of Utah. People from all over the state and other states come dressed to impress in their craziest costumes to enjoy a MASSIVE insane dance party, concerts including Cartel, performers, games, and all sorts of insanity. The campus was PACKED with people and our buildings were full of lines of thousands of people waiting to enjoy the craziness. One of USU's finest my friends. Kaela and I dressed up as troll dolls, and danced the night away. I guess that is why today doesn't feel like the real holiday, but maybe I'll get some candy from strangers anyways. JOKE.

Son Of A Witch.

Kaela and her family were kind enough to invite me to tag along with them for their family's halloween tradition. We went to the Garder Village Witch Fest where each year people make this cute little witches out of pumpkins and put them all over Gardner Village and it is almost like a scavenger hunt to find them. So cute! They also had activities all over and shopping and candy stores and it was so much fun! Afterwards we ate lunch and got into the halloween spirit. It was a good way to get ready for not only the upcoming holidays, but the traditions too! Thanks again! And Happy Halloween! : ]

Awkward And Awesome Thursday!

AWKWARD:

1. Walking into the gym and seeing a girl on the bikes in her street clothes. Watching some asian cartoon show. And she didn't talk. Hey, whatever satisfies your gym cravings I guess.
2. Having 11 empty spots on a list to have your english class one day a week. Me, being the eleventh spot, thought at first this was awesome, until the half of your class gives you the stink eye for taking the last spot.
3. Going swing dancing, which is uncomfortable within itself because I cannot dance by no means, and having your partner flip you around thereby breaking your favorite sandal. And going shoeless for the rest of the night. THANKS.
4. Seeing one of your professors in the bathroom. "Uh hey...what are YOU doing here? You come here often?" I just think that all bathroom stories are awkward, that is probably why I post one every week. Huh, go figure.
5. Sitting in class and having one of the students correct the professor who has no idea what he is talking about. I then say, "hey, why doesn't HE teach the class?" But saying it WAY louder than I thought, and resulting in about 20 turned heads giving me the "hey, girl in the blue sweater, why don't you just shut up" look. My face turned bright red.

AWESOME:

1. Going to the movie theatre, which was way cheaper than back home might I add, and sitting down to find that the movie theatre seats, were made of memory foam. Memory foam kids. And not that cheap-o kind either. I about broke out my wine glass right then and there.
2. Due to the fact that my professor had emergency surgery and we had no class for a week, he then decided that instead of rushing back to play catch up, we will now just take our time and cut off the last unit that we were supposed to read.
3. Thinking that I lost an old iPod of mine in my car, only to find that I found it. Sitting in a side pocket corner. I have no idea how it got there.
4. Going into our business building and seeing a banner that reads, "Hogwartz school of business". Inside the entire building was deocrated from head to toe with Harry Potter decorations. Today I took the class "Muggle Studies". I about slipped my robe on right then and there.
5. The fact that I am so perfectly content with my life right now. I stopped and noticed it yesterday. There is not a problem in the world, life is stress free for the most part, it is strikingly beautiful weather with the changing leaves, and I have a ton to be grateful for.

Marin (Muh-rin) Lindsay:

Happy Birthday best friend. I am so sad that I don't get to be there with you to celebrate. And even though we are hundreds of miles apart, please know that I am down here still celebrating without you. Because you mean that much to me. I hope that you have a good day, that for maybe once you can go a day without some stress. You deserve one, if not thousands, of days to relax. You mean the world to me Ginny. And I am so glad that I am lucky enough to have someone that I can rely on so much, and come to for ANYTHING. You and me, we just understand each other. And even though we have had our tiffs, just know that you can always count on me. I can't wait for our lives to play out and see who we will become. I can't wait for you to become a cute little fashionable mom with a kick-ass husband. And we will live by one another and have our kids grow up to be best friends just like you and me. Because that's whats life is about. So here's to you Marin, and if this didn't make you cry, then I hope it made you laugh out loud at work. And please for the sake of anything that is good, don't party too hard tonight. I just don't think that the world could handle it. Love you.

It Only Goes Up From Here

Guys. They've done it. They created the eighth wonder of the world. And it is incredible. In a little town near Kaela's home some GENIUS recreated the house from the movie UP. I couldn't believe it either.It even had all of the same decorations inside of it. I about died. AND guess what else? It's for sale. Only 400,000 dollars, which is nothing right? Here's what I'm thinking. Buy the house, and since it has so much tourist attraction, charge people for pictures or tours and all that junk. With all of the profit from that, BOOM. Free house. So please don't steal my idea because it's mine, okay?

The Holidays Make Me Turn Into A Plumpkin

Okay first off I want to say that I am sorry for not posting over the past few days. I'm a terrible person. BUT that is because I was on Fall Break (which really means a four day weekend if you are lucky). So, Kaela and I decided that we were going to go to her hometown in Utah and play around for a few days. So I'm guessing each post this week will be about our little trip because we did TONS. One night we went to this quaint little pumpkin patch and picked out some nice beauties. It was such perfect fall weather and the best fall activity. Now I know that my pumpkin may not look the best, but if you hold it up, it was a giant spring. That's right peeps, but instead the toothpicks couldn't support it and now it just looks like a cut up piece of junk. Happy fall.

Here Comes The Bride...

On Monday my sister got engaged to the most blunt, crazy, outgoing guy in the entire world, and I couldn't love him more. I am so excited for the both of them and couldn't be any happier. I love the way that they are so comfortable around each other and treat one another like they are best friends. More importantly I love the way that he treats her. He is a good man, and fits into our crazy family so well. I could not ask for anyone better to have my sister spend the rest of her life with. I am so grateful for the example that they have both given me and I only hope that I can get a guy as good as him. Congratulations you guys, and welcome to the family.
