Last week i looked in the kitchen and my mama

was taking pictures of herself.

she makes me laugh.

thats probably where me and all my sisters got our ugly picture taking.(single shots of course).

mom dont worry though, this isn't ugly. you look stunning.../stunned.

A week ago from this excellent sunday.

Isaac and anna stayed home from church because they

weren't feeling very good...

Well my mom, me, and savannah came home to this!

you could only tell if she did one of her poses.

if you know her well you know what i'm talking about.

the PUNKS.

cow. blackwidow. 7up.

spider and the fly.

if you're wondering. YES those spider legs were a pain to carry around.

i hope your halloween was just as wonderful as mine!

..

so this cute little pup became one of my best friends these past couple of weeks.

we were babysitting him for ed and jenny.

BUZZ is his name.

and i love him. already. i've only played with him a few times, but i think it was love at first sight...(for both of us.)

i just want to SQUEEZE him.

Sorry this post is completely random but i forgot to mention that about a month ago

my sisters ran a marathon.

yes 26 flip a dip miles.

dont ask me how they did it because im pretty sure at the rate im going right now...

i'd probably drop dead after 5 steps.

but they're amazing and speeeeedsters.

So. last weekend i got my wisdom teeth out.

i decided to lock away the cameras so i dont think any pictures were

taken, but guess what? i blew up like a balloon.

thinking i was almost healed from my little mini

surgery. i get a dry socket.

and im sitting in my bed right now almost ready to rip my teeth out.

it hurts SO BADLY.

im going crazy.

today in church, we got a quote.

"i have learned whatever state in, be content."

love it.

IT.CAME!

After waiting and waiting.

Karsons call finally came!

october 13th

and i dont know why, but i promised i would go

hiking with him before he opened it.

The mountain he wanted to hike?

squaw peak.

- - - - -

i personally hate hiking.

I mean i lovvve the end result

but come on, staring at your feet for a couple of hours?

BORING.

And im not going to lie...

i was just a little... ok maybe REALLY tired.

BUT. I did it! and it was BEAUTIFUL.

pretty sure i felt like i was on TOP of the world.

So after sprinting down that huggge mountain,

got ready

30 minutes: new record i think.

got to karsons.

and after pacing around the room a thousand times,

it was time to open his call.

AND HE IS GOING to theee...

Argentina, Cordoba mission

spanish speaking!

and i am SO happy for him!!!

BESTTTT FRIENDs.

just so happened to get their calls on the same day.

fritter

and mogley:

Paris, France.

it was a party.

CONGRATULATIONs

to you both!

ps. if you're wondering, i am never hiking again.

oh. and i dont know why this underline thing pops on and off every

now and then. sosorry about that.

so...

Today i was sitting in a fireside and i look down at my skirt and there it was.

a FLY.

I've been told before that if you are realllly quick and

move towards the front of it instead of the back, there is

a small chance that you could catch it.

As i am sitting there, i start

thinking to myself if i should just TRY to catch it.

I couldn't resist.

As reverently as possible, i swooped my hand right in front of the little guy.

Well, this lady below SWALLOWED a fly.

I CAUGHT ONE!

(i personally think thats way cooler)

A few days ago anna and isaac ran a mile race at BYU.

It was out of all provo district schools, but was divided by boys and girls,

and their grade.

ANNA: came in 3rd place.

AMMMAZING.

ISAAC: 1st.

whatttta stud!

i love these two soo much! i probably broke a few peoples

eardrums with all my cheering. whooops.

buhhhbye!

Hellooo.

School has started! And guess what? i LOVVVE it! I am taking so many classes that i enjoy and i am having so much fun meeting new people. Tennis is going great, but let me just tell you. Playing outside in the heat gets old really quick.

Today my sister had her cinnamon roll saturday. (if you weren't there, you better be there next week! They are to die for, literally.) I ate WAY too many. I feel like my stomach could pop at any second! Well, i hope you are all having a fantastic day.

seeeyou.
