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.

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:

Ok i know you might be a little 
overwhelmed by my multiple blog posts
in one night
but i had to catch up 
september was too fun not to document.
It was full of family time
{my favorite way to spend time}
and also work and school which are 
um.... fun too? 
nothing beats family time.

Here is the rest of September in a nutshell:
{"we married"}
{Ross Park Swings, after we ate Taco Spaghetti. YUM}
 ♥
{trying to sneak a boob grab haha} 
 {kisses}

A bird flew into our house and we had 
decided we would have him as a pet for a while
until we found its owner
we got a cage and everything.
We loved him from the moment we put him in front of the mirror
he would talk like no ones business.
he would puff his feathers and strut back and forth
everyone....
meet "Boyd"
{cleverly named by my parents hahaha}
{click picture to watch video}

 {Tommy and I drew faces on balloons and let them go,
we watched them until we couldnt see them anymore}

{My parents garden of tomatoes and raspberries}

{Our garden tomato on the left, and the stores tomato on the right, aw yeah!}

{How many people does it take to move a 
piano into Kramers new house?} 

{the one day i was outside alll day. wish i was kidding} 

 {temple dates with my hubby. the view from the front of the temple grounds after our session}


On sundays, Spencer and I like to see nature
2 weeks ago we took a motorcycle ride up American Fork Canyon
it was stunnnnning.
we stopped by this river and talked for an hour

Then we went up Logan canyon last week
to see the fall colors start to change 
and then stopped and got out of the car,
and sat cuddled up in a blanket on a big boulder
there's something about water that is so peaceful to me

September.
It has been quite the eventful month.
{sorry for just barely posting}
Promise i will keep you updated in a timely fashion though.
it was because of Prison break.
but i am done. 4 seasons in 4 weeks
proud.

started with Sun Valley for Labor day
Then it was my baby sister 
Kierstens 20th Birthday
no longer a TEENager.
cant believe it.
Then my Daddy's 30th birthday
{well 30-ish. he looks 30}
but then he would have had me when he was 9
so you obviously know i am not telling the complete truth
he is such a cuuutie. 
i adore my daddy.
he has always been so good to his family!

Also, we went to Park City 
to celebrate some time together as a fam
my dad got the Mountainside Resort.
its beautiful
We spent the day going on the Alpine slide
and coaster, shopping at the outlets,
and eating at the yummy mexican restaurant.
Spencer and my brother Sam decided that they
would race down the Alpine Slide.
Mind you... at the top before you go, 
they warn you to be cautious.
Neither listened. 
and they both FLEW OFF.
both getting scraped up.
here are spencers battle wounds
 {shoulder... went through his shirt}
{forearm}

The next day,
we left Park City and went to Provo
for the BYU-Utah game.
I went wearing blue. 
and left feeling blue.
i cant believe how awful they played
all i can say is
NEXT YEAR.
just wait.

♥♥♥

Does anyone even work on Labor day?

I dont really understand what that holiday is for
but hey, its a day we dont have school
i am down.
This year for Labor day
My family went to our Condo 
in Sun Valley, ID 
to celebrate the weekend.
It is Sun Valley's biggest annual event of the year
its called "Wagon Days"
the whole weekend is a celebration!
We actually didnt know until we got up there
there were parades and plays in the streets,
ice skating shows, and so much more. 

Sun Valley is one of my favorite places to visit
for a weekend getaway. 
its perfect.

Here's a quick review of the weekend
 {these wagons were what they really used to get through the mountains}

{yes, yours truly} 

{Sasha Cohen- from olympics}

forgive me?

i know, i know!
i have been slacking on my blogging
life has just hit me like crazy
not in a bad way.
just a busy one!
promise i'll be better

i know it seems a little hard to believe
because i finished 2 seasons of
PRISON BREAK
in 2 weeks....
but i have had a 180 in the past week
{time wise}
school started last week
AND
i started my new job
at....
Elements Restaurant.
I love it.

Something that is big for me.
is that i would actually eat there
{sounds a little strange right?...
why would i work there if i wouldnt eat there}
well i have worked at previous food places
and lets just say
Sanitation and cleanliness
doesnt seem to be their top priority.
But at Elements its very clean
even in the kitchen.
{most important}
Plus everyone seems to be way nice
and drama free which i LOVE!
If you havent eaten there...
i hiiiighly recommend it.

As i was saying school started last week
I cant believe it....
the end is in sight!
I only have 18 credits left until i graduate.
i technically could finish in December
butttt....
i took 18 credits in spring
and worked 30 hours a week
and was assistant director of my dance team
TOOO BUSY,
i literally didnt have a second to breathe.

so i decided i want to e.n.j.o.y.
my last year
so i am only taking 12 credits.
easy peasy.
then 6 in spring.

I bet your all wondering
how i am graduating in just over 3 years?
well its because i have taken summer school
2 of the 3 years.
thats nooo break since freshman year.
so dont judge for the 12 credits ;)

Speaking of school....
did anyone see the AGGIE FOOTBALL game saturday?
My Ags almost brought it home
against last years champ Auburn.
Even though we didnt walk away with a win...
i am still proud of my Aggies!
thats quite an accomplishment!

Saturday was a good day.
Aggies gave Auburn a run for their money.
BYU won.
and Boise State won.
i was a happy girl.
Now i just gotta get ready for the epic
BYU-Utah game next Saturday.
aw yeah.

Who you rooting for?

Hi, i'm Anna, and i'm an Addict.

Have we met before?
yes, 
we have. 
Its been a looong time though.
i know.
and i apologize 
I have been M.I.A.

But i will tell ya,
its been for a GOOD reason.
can you guess what it is?
Yep.
Its the one and only....


im obsessed.
i have watched a season and a half in a week
Thats 22 episodes each season
and 45 minutes a piece.

I have been a straight up hermit lately.
I had heard all about it before
but didnt ever start it because
i didnt need another show to 
keep up on.
But my little bro Sam
{giving him all the credit}
kept talking about it
so i decided...why not?

I bet your wondering where i have
all this time to watch it?
well its because...
i quit temptation cupcake 2 weeks ago
{Thank gooooodness!}
and my new job hasnt started yet
so i thought,
i'll give it a try.

Best and worst decision.
Its soooo good. 
but its all i do now. haha.
if you havent ever watched it.
i HIGHLY recommend you do.
its uhhhmaaaazing.
