It's Beginning to Sound A lot like Christmas

Yup that's right! Christmas music is on the radio, and I listen to it every morning on the way to seminary :) My favorite top 5 Christmas songs right now are:

1. All I Want for Christmas Is You - Michael Buble
2. Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) - Michael Buble {It's EXTREMELY catchy ;)}
3. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas - Alan Jackson {My family likes to listen to Country Christmas music haha}
4. Holly Jolly Christmas - Guess Who? Yup.. Michael Buble
5. It's Beginning to Look A Lot like Christmas - Michael Buble

If you can't tell... I'm in a Michael Buble Christmas mood. Normally I don't like him but for some reason I LOVE his Christmas music :)

Pumpkin Patch/Halloween Run-Down

So this is a little late but it's better late than never right?? :) Here we go:

This year I went to a pumpkin patch (located where the tulip festival is) with the Kanaups, the Kangs and the Woodward's! :) It was so much fun! There was archery, potato guns, pumpkin launcher, paint ball guns, and a corn maze! When we first got there, we shot all the weapons for a while, and then decided to go into the corn maze. I was with Adam and Emilee, and we ran A LOT trying to get away from the "little Kangs" as Adam says. It was good exercise haha. After the corn maze we ate lunch. Then I went with the Kangs and the Woodward's to the Woodburn Outlet-Mall. We went to Nike, Aeropostle, Converse, and ... I forgot the rest.. but it was fun of course. How can you not have fun at a mall?

Halloween 2011:
This Halloween, I didn't know I was going Trick-or-Treat-ing till the night before, so I must admit my costume was lame... I was a yoga/excersice-er chick. :P But anyways! I went to a Halloween dinner+fun at Hannah Shields' house. Emilee Woodward and Rachel Kang were there also :) Emilee=cat, Rachel=cow girl, Hannah=Marathon Runner! After the dinner we went up to the Kangs and met up with the other Kangs and other Woodward's and went Trick-or-Treat-ing around Forest Gale Heights. I must admit.. I felt a little too old to be trick-or-treat-ing but it was fun anyways, plus there were older people than me trick-or-treating too, so it's all good. It was freezing the whole time but it was fun and I'm glad I went. :) Yay for candy and friends!

Ditching Jackie at College :)

On Wednesday the 7th of September, Jackie, me and Mom got up nice and early (3:30 a.m.) and started the drive to BYU-Idaho! :) It was a LOOONNG drive and for some reason it seemed to take longer than the drive to Utah which is weird cuz the drive to Utah is longer...if that makes sense ;).
Instead of staying at a hotel, Saisha asked the Smiths (the people she was staying with) if if would be ok if we stayed there too. They, being the really nice people that they are) said yeah so we made our way to their house. The sunset was me being bored on the way there :)

Jackie's apartment door was open when we got there :)

Couches in the living room plus a T.V! lol

They had a pretty good size kitchen, lots of cupboard space!

Mom and Jackie. BTW Jackie is roomies with her bff Saisha :)

Saisha's bed with extra height from her bed raisers. I swear she had to jump to get onto her bed.
Desk :D

Saisha had a TON of bags full of shoes, and clothes

The one and only dresser in their room. (which means sharing ;) )

Saisha's side of the closet

Jackie's side of the closet.. lol see a difference between the two?? :D

Double bathroom! Luckily :) Two showers, two toilets

and two sinks :)

Huge stake building super close to Jackie's apartment! Notice it's two levels and there's a ton of steps leading up to it???

I think Jackie's apartment area looks like a hotel :)

Jackie's apartment are from our van...
..and the guys' apartments from our car. the dudes are SUPER close!! I've decided that i'm gonna go to BYU-Idaho too, and that this is where i'm gonna stay ;)

We spent the night at the Gooches (of course :D) Their cat Spike is a weird one ;D

Only 205 more miles!!! :D

It was super weird driving home without Jackie in the car with us. It was definitely quieter hahaha :D It was way fun though and now i can't wait to go pick her up!

Fort Stevens Part 2

While camping, we also went over to Seaside and did some fun things. Seaside was super close to Fort Stevens it was fantastic :)
Rachel in a HUGE giraffe mask ;)

Ya.. this store was weird lol it was like a tribal import
store or something like that

:D

Cute little Lilly :)

Ya, it's that weird tribal store, they had figurines
like that all over haha, we had fun with it :)

Throughout the whole time we were in Seaside we were
finding funny sayings like that one

Funny name for a n ice cream store right?

ok we did those bike things, didn't get any pics but let me just
say it is WAY harder than it looks

Jacob all decked out haha


On the way home from camping, one of the tires blew out on the trailer, so we pulled over. Sadly, we couldn't get service on Sister Woodwards phone so we used Hannah's phone and i called my parents but then her phone died :( Luckily, an ambulance was passing so we waved them down and used one of their phones. We also had a police car there with us on the side of the road while waiting for my parents to bring a spare tire. I bet it looked a little weird to drive past a car pulled over with a police car AND an ambulance :)
I stole Adam's glasses ;P haha

Rachel and Emilee :) LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

Overall it was a super amazing trip and i loved it! I'm so happy i was able to go :)
Oh BTW: POLAR BEARS ROCK! ;D
