hello world

Let's talk about how it's already October... Okay, it's already October!! It's basically Christmas already... But up here in Provo life is splendid. I realize that I have a plethora of pictures that I need to post but I am have been lacking the motivation to do so. 

Anyway, so here goes...

I made these probably 2 months ago... But I still can't stop thinking about them. 

There is a special something about mini-cupcakes...

Anyway, so this fall I have been up to lots of fun adventures

Like, going to a super awesome cabin for the weekend...

I was verrry social and read Calvin and Hobbes for an hour before falling asleep on the floor.
That's my kinda Friday night :)

Love these Girls

aand I went to the Provo temple for the first time with Val before we went back to AZ!

Me and Nate biked up to Bridal Veil Falls.

Also, Arizona needs to get on the Waterfall bandwagon. Because they are incredible.

Love me some football games and that Cougar roar of course.

They love it.

The family came up for conference and we got to sit 9 rows back for the Saturday Afternoon session.

I loved watching President Monson sleep :)

It was sure good to see this girl... Even if it was for only a day and a half.

And lastly.. I spent all day one saturday volunteering/participating in a 5k obstacle course run thing. It was actually quite fun, But I never ever want to see a little white flag ever again. I had to bend down and pick up every flag that was marking the 3 mile trail. There were wayyy too many of those white flags for my liking :)

Anyway, Provo is treating me well I suppose... School is good, work is good, life is good. Although I am definitely not ready for this thing called winter that is coming... I'll be living off of soup and comfort food. What is comfort food you ask? Well that usually changes day to day. Last week it was Ramen and Cheetos.
I eat great. I know :)

the circle of life

So here at BYU you tend to hear the same quotes, by some of the same great people all the time. One of them being by Karl G. Maeser about his word of honor... and for all of you who don't know what I am talking about, it really is a great quote and they have it posted all up over the testing center and the Library to inspire us failing college students not to cheat. I love it.


Ready?

“I have been asked what I mean by ‘word of honor.’ I will tell you. Place me behind prison walls–walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground–there is a possibility that in some way or another I may escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of the circle? No. Never! I’d die first!”

Karl G. Maeser knew what it meant to stand by your honor.  Do you?

Classic.

Anyway, I came across this picture that someone out there in the internet world posted on the facebook and I sure did get a good laugh out of it. So I downloaded it, added a little Photoshop fun to it, and voila!


Enjoy your Tuesday :)
