Pumpkins, Candy, and the Modern Stone Age Family...

Wow - I can't believe it's already November. It seems like time just flies! Halloween was awesome last night! We started out the night carving pumpkins (finally...they've been sitting in our apartment for quite some time now!) Unfortunately we only had about a half hour to carve because we had to get our costumes ready.

Jeff and Brian came over and about an hour later we finally had our costumes all ready and we were ready to go!

Yes - that is me, Courtney and Nichelle. :)

The whole gang - From Fred right on down to Dino. It was so much fun with all of us. It took a little to talk Jeff and Brian into it, but I'm so glad they did. I can't remember the last time that I actually got to spend Halloween with my brothers and it wouldn't have been the same without them. We got quite a few comments from people who saw us all together. And if I do say so myself we did a pretty good job with the costumes. My mom made Fred, Barney, and Dino, but we put the others together all by ourselves. It was a great group effort and definitely a Halloween I won't forget.

Back in Business!

So I've now been back in Provo for almost three weeks and I am loving it here. I love everything about being here. I'm starting into my major this semester and I can't wait to really get going. My two big classes are Language Development and Human Anatomy. Language Development is going to be way cool. I'm still not so sure about Anatomy, but I may or may not be getting a little bit excited for that class as well...but I won't admit to that later.

I love being back here at BYU. I love the atmosphere, the classes, the people, and, of course, BYU football 2008! I've been to both games this year and they were both awesome! I loved being back in the student section cheering the Cougars on to victory. What made it even better was being able to be there with both of my brothers. My family also went to Seattle to go to the Washington game. This is what my brothers looked like:
