Looong Weekend


This weekend we went to Utah and spent time with the Fam! We left Friday after classes and went straight to my little brothers dorm in Provo, he's attending BYU and he loooves it!


Obviously we couldn't stay with my brother so my parents, younger sister, Kennedy and I stayed at my Uncle Dave and Aunt Ninas home, we had so much fun! We played Just Dance 2, uhm so fun! Basically we are meant to be Rock stars. Not even kidding... okay maybe a little. Kennedy and I were also highly entertained by my Aunts youngest, Trevor. He entertained us for a few hours one night through a variety of adventures; outer space, Castle Feenya, Fishing, Tickle fights and pillow fights. On Sunday night Trevor and my Dad "Big Trevor" played hide-and-go-seek and little Trevor had a blast calling someone else Trevor! He was so funny. He kept calling my dad "silly guy" and "big trevor", it was pretty cute. We slacked and didn't get a video of it! The last morning Trevor and Kennedy built the "Trevor Tower" and we took a picture before it was destroyed. 


On Monday we spent some time at BYU's Museum of Art looking at the Carl Block display. It was beautiful and very humbling to see the amazing paintings of Christs life. If you have a chance to go you should take advantage of the amazing experience. My mom bought us a print of our favorite painting so we can hang it in our home! It's called the Garden of Gethsemane, for some reason we both fell in love with it instantly.


After some last minute shopping we went to the Monty L. Bean Museum!


I think Jaguars are VERY cool.


And Kennedy enjoyed the bears! There was one bear that was over 10 ft. tall! I forgot to get a picture of it but it was huge! Well we had a very fun weekend, we didn't take any pictures of use shopping but we did about 12 hours of shopping throughout the weekend! I know! We are crazy! Anyways hope everyone else had a great long weekend!

We Heart Chinese Food

So this is me with some of best friends from BYUI. Once a month we get together for Chinese food at New Fongs! From left to right it's Me, Kendra, Felicia, Brittany, and Michelle. Sadly Michelle is off track this semester so she was not at dinner but Sam was and we love her too but I didn't have a picture with her... which means I better get on that :) Anyways we had a wonderful dinner and enjoyed catching up with each other. Also we all order the same thing EVERY time. Kendra, Felicia, Sam and I always order Mandarin Chicken (which is incredible!) and Brittany always gets Spicy Honey Chicken. Perhaps we are predictable but we are consistently satisfied and that is what eating is all about anyways!


This is what Kennedy looked like when I left haha so I took a picture of his evening :) I did bring him Chinese food home though so don't feel to bad for him!

Idaho played a cruel trick on us this week, it was BEAUTIFUL yesterday and this morning and this evening it tried to snow... we are hoping for another beautiful day tomorrow so cross your fingers for us!

In our dance class we started learning the Waltz which makes me feel like Cinderella, it's so fun :) And we are also learning the Cha Cha which is equally fun! There are a lot of interesting characters in our dance class and we are usually entertained by their antics. Today I had an awkward encounter with a girl today, she told me to "Show my hubby what my hips can do".... who says that? Haha I didn't know what to say to that so I laughed. Also there is a boy who really, and I mean really likes to shake his hips. I wish I had a picture of him because he is just really entertaining.



Another exciting thing of our day... I found out that I do not need Fit For Life to fulfill any of my requirements so I dropped it! It was just not working out between us and it just wasn't meant to be. Anyways, I am relieved to not have that class anymore so now I have more time to dedicate to my other classes. Speaking of other classes, today I had my first client meeting for I-Comm which was cool. 

Kennedy doesn't have anything new to announce but he is great. Just so you know :)

Canada is Foriegn

Well today we got all dressed up again for Devotional. Elder Charles A. Didier an emeritus member of the Seventy. His talk was Learning by Faith to become a Humble Seeker of Happiness. It was an enlightening talk, he was quite humorous too! Tuesdays are our busy day we had hot dogs for dinner which was kind of a treat!

We found out this morning that I got my job back at the Town of Taber for the summer for the Parks & Recreation department so we are happy to know that I will have a great job waiting for me!

Also on a side note I had a great lunch with Brittany and Lexie today!


Kennedy wasn't really ready for that second picture and I didn't know I was taking it but he looks cute, manly cute. So this evening it was our pleasure to get some special visitors! During Glee we heard some serious knocking on the door and our doorbell rang (which I didn't even know we had!). So we answered the door and there were two boys, around 12 years old. They were selling Foreign Stamps and Coins. They had a lovely collection of Canadian Stamps for $10.00 we decided to help them out so we asked them what their "cause" was. VERY enthusiastically they both shouted "PSP2!". Hahaha it was just to funny.



Take note of the frame... it has possibly seen better days haha.

It's A Wonderful Life.

Today we had Stake Conference and we had a new Stake President Called, it was such a good meeting. After Church... you all know tomorrow is Valentines Day! So in preparation we made special sugar cookies this afternoon! Here's some pics of us with our beautiful cookies.


Heres Kennedy and his Cookies!


And My Cute Cookies!


This evening we were lucky enough to get together with some of my keeler cousins that are also at BYU-I right now. Devan Keeler had us all over to his house for a delicious sunday dinner. He made a scrumptious roast, mashed potatoes, gravy, homemade buns, and salads! We had a lot of fun visiting and getting to know each other better. It was a great Sunday, hope you all had a great one too!

We Forgot About Kennedy!

Well today was pretty relaxed for us. I work as a Games Manager for BYUI's Competitive Basketball League. Today I only had to work two games and one of them was Kennedy's! This is me in my cool work outfit.

haha so I'm a nerd... First picture I am being a happy Games Manager, second picture I am wearing my nerdy fanny pack that I never wear, and third I am discipling coaches and players that aren't listening (that rarely happens, they are pretty awesome though).

Well as I said Kennedy played today... he started today at the beginning of both halfs and played great! His team is still undefeated thanks to great coaches and a team that plays very well together. We were going to take a picture of Kennedy in his uniform but we forgot! (Hence the title). But don't worry... we will get a picture!

School is going great for us, mid-terms are starting this week so we might have to spend extra time studying this week! 

We are looking forward to our trip to Utah next weekend with the Johnsons. We are going to spend some time shopping (of course), and we will be visiting some museum. Of course we will get to see family, the Ogles and the Durlands! It will definitely be a good weekend!

Date Night!


So I don't know if any of you are aware but "Just Go With It" came out to theaters today and I was SO excited! I have been waiting a month for this day so Kennedy took me to the movies to see it. I was so worried it wasn't going to live up to my expectations since I had built it up so much in my head BUT it exceeded all expectations and Kennedy loved it too. 

Before going to the movie we killed time in Kohls. We had never been there before and as we are avid shoppers we felt that was inexcusable. So we checked it out... pretty decent. We wished we weren't poor students and then we would've bought wonderful things but we are going to Utah next weekend so we are saving our shopping money for a bigger market :)


After the movies we went to the Cocoa Bean... Best. Cup. Cakes. Ever. They are yum. We got "Better Than Whatever Cake" and a hazelnut cocoa. It was Kennedys first time there and even though he doesn't like icing he rather enjoyed our Cup Cake with butter cream icing. Also a side note... this picture looks like I just drew a line down the middle of the picture when in fact it is two separate pictures... crazy right? Anyways hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

It's Almost the WEEKEND!

Here's our library... I wish it really looked like that outside!

Hey everyone... well today I accidentally turned of my alarm this morning and slept an extra eight minutes which makes a HUGE difference when you use each and every precious minute in the morning! Luckily Kennedy hates to be late so he rushed me and we made it on time to classes at 7:45.

Today was very productive as we spent the day writing essays, completing projects, and taking a few exams. I spent the day in the library but I did take a break to have lunch with Kendra!

We also made dinner tonight and acted like grown-ups... even though we both wanted ice cream :) We're pigs like that haha.

Anyways it's a pretty low key day so that's all we have to say today :)
