XOXO....

 Gossip Girl
i adore this show.
{to say the least}
but then again?

i am a little behind 
but im trying to catch up
{love catching up}
because then i dont have to wait 
a week every episode.

so im currently on season 4
and i was renting or borrowing the discs
....until TODAY!
a little birdie told me they were now...
ready for it?

D2

DOUBLE DATE
title is supposed to be d squared,
{if you didnt get it}
i just am not quite smart enough to know
how to make it be a squared.
dont judge.

Tuesday was an unexpected date day!
I worked lunch, and when i got home
spencer felt like going out out to eat
so we did
because we had some coupons for a couple places
{yes we are cheap, ♥ coupons}
We made our way to wingers
we wanted to switch it up a bit
from the usually luxury of Hamiltons and Elements
{happens to be our place of employment}
yes...
we both work in the nicest restaurants in logan
ballllllin.

While at dinner Spencer said out of the blue
"Lets go to Contagion"
{that movie about the virus/epidemic that kills 20 million people}
i was like ok that'd be fun,
 when does it start
he replied 6 minutes ago.
so we hurried and paid and our server said
just come back after your movie and
i will hook you guys up!

So we headed to the movie
{um... so its a little older of a movie}
we were the ONLY ones in the theater
kinda fun
but freeezing
i had to bring a blanket and curl up
but i cant complain
i have a cute hubby to cuddle up to!
it was a crazy movie
scared me a tid bit.
it is just freaky because that is probably
what will really happen when the world ends
{second coming for the religious folk}

Then we headed back to get our asphalt pie
and she gave it to us for FREE!
4.99+tax = saved.
she was awesommeeee
probably because we tipped her good
before our movie
karma pays off
im tellin ya!

Attention we have a quick service annoucement:
{everyone needs to take notes here!}
TIP GOOD! 
if you server is sucky tip 10%
average 20% 
great more that 20%
we make our living off tips
not our $2 an hour pay!
ALSO
if you pay with a gift card
or cache valley card
tip off the original amount
not the $4 remaining balance
and give a $1 tip for a $50 meal.

Anywayssss....
so after the movie
we went home and changed into a million layers
{its been so cold}
and picked up Kiersten and Matt
and we headed to 7-eleven for hot chocolate
{best in town, btw}
then made our way to the pumpkin walk

i dont know if you have heard
but its quite the thing to do here in logan
during halloween
there are scenes made up from a ton of pumpkins
{made from different people like schools, or whatever}

my favorite was this beauty
{Angry birds.... the set up}
{the birds}

{Despicable Me} 
{A Christmas Story} 

 {the elves going to work}
by the way,
does anyone know where i can get me some of these?
also, if they had any cleaning ones as well
my dishes are starting to stack up

{these were so detailed, hard to tell here}

{all i want for christmas is my 2 front teeth}
stupid shadows

 {retake, lean back=no shadows, but i blinked}

 {kier and matt}

{the witch was just chillin}

Then after that we headed to our house
to make Sugar cookies
with our new pumpkin cookie cutters
and our orange festive icing! 
{we didnt have a rolling pin, so we used an orange juice can}
that is called resourceful.

{kiers=left side, mine=right side} 
 {they didnt really turn out... wah}
{spencer made a creation...
he put the dough in a muffin pan}
his were the bestttt

 {we made a giant one}

so we were pretty bummed that
our pumpkins didnt really look like
pumpkins when they were done cooking....
so we decided to get a little creative
mine was the penis
kiers was the vag
spencers and matts were the
 flippin the bird and the tittties.

a little inappropriate i know...
but we all laughed like little kids!
haha

Successful night!

i've fallin for break

Fall Break
Utah State only has one day off
boo.
i dont think it should technically be
called a "break".
but dont you worry,
we took full advantage of our short break!

Started out with Jordan and Haley's wedding
it was down in Alpine
It was beautiful
Haley looked STUNNING! 
Plus we had a flash mob from the brothers
and sisters of the bride and groom
it was hilarious.  
i didnt get too many pictures but i did get some
daddy-daughter, and mom-son dancing
 {Jordan and Janet}
 {father-daughter, mother-son}

From the wedding we spent the night in
Alpine and left in the morning for the Dahl cabin in Wanship
on our drive up we look the scenic way

So i am still not great at taking pictures
but i am getting better.
we went to PC for dinner
then at the cabin we played cards
had ice cream
and just chillaxed.
It was mama dahl's birthday 
she loved being up there!

We drove back saturday to Logan
because we havent been to a SINGLE game yet.
and its our senior year
so we made sure we made it to the game!
it was fun, and hot.
loving this last little bit of warm weather!

We had a fellow next to us 
that seemed to be the ONLY person
not loving the sunny weather
he started out with taking the flyers
that were taped to the bleachers
and taped them to his face
 then in progressed to this:
haha. weirdo.

After the game we drove to pocatello
to visit my family!
my mom is in kentucky with my sister
because she is about to pop! :)
cannnnnot wait to meet my nephew!

Spencer and my dad went golfing
and i took my little brother tommy
and his friend trevor to outer limits 
is it the ultimate dream for kids.
We spent 2 hours there just playing and playing 
{we won 4 of these balls with the impossible claw}

 {Tommy hit the bonus!}
Tommy and i ended up with 855 tickets total!

 {All the prizes we won!}

{the boys with the prizes}

then it ended with Farr's playdough ice cream
{my brother and i have a tradition 
to make faces out of our ice cream} 

After that we met up with my dad
and my hubby and we went to taco bell
to get some quick grub 
and then headed to the new movie
Moneyball
 SO GOOD! 

Now we are just chillin
at my parents house!
tommy and i played with waterballoons,
me and the boys
went on a drive and looked at the
colors of fall
and now dinner with the fam
it has been a successsssful weekend
for sure!

Ride for Seed

For Spencer's business class
him and a group were to put on an event
and all money raised would go to a good cause.
They decided to do RIDE FOR SEED
seed is a program for helping businesses in Africa
They did a motorcycle ride
it was $10 per rider
and they ended up raising $500
so great!

As i was walking to meet Spencer 
i ran into this little guy
he was soooo fuzzy
and just scooted along.
i couldnt get enough of him!

We met at Harley Davidson and left from there
{part of group}
{other part of group}

We then went to Preston
up to Montpelier 
Over to Bear Lake
and back to Logan through Logan Canyon
It was so pretty!
We then had a raffle at the end
and spencer and i won a ton of stuff
free food, shirt, dvd, etc.

I didnt get a lot of pictures but i got a few
it was a little scary taking pictures
on a motorcycle going 65 MPH. 
 {between Preston and Montpelier}

 {Bear Lake lookout}

{♥} 

{Bear Lake lookout} 

{love this shot with the water and colors} 

 {trees changing colors}

{Tunnel of colorful trees}

If you havent been up the canyon
within the last week or so
you realllllly need to go.
it was sooo pretty
there were so many colors!
around 5 or so is the best time


I love fall.
the trees changing colors
football
crisp mornings 
holidays
i love everything about it

"its raining cords"

i learned that thats what the french say.
Another good one is: "its raining men"
but...
those arent realistic.
thats why i am sticking with the classic:


Rain, Rain, go aw...
i dont know why people always want the rain to go away
i love it.
whether its sitting inside 
or on a covered deck watching/listening to the storm,
or whether its even getting out and playing in it.

i remember my first big rainstorm here at USU
my roommate Annie and I went and played for like 
a half an hour outside and got soaked
cant believe this was almost 3 years ago.

 {the grass was literally flooded}
{freeeezing on our way back up}

ok so driving may be the only not fun part 
when it comes to POURING rain

But thats really the only time i dont love it.
Wonder why i love it so much?
here are just a few reasons:



 {playing/laughing}
