Walking and Yogurt

Look at how pretty it is and its November

So I have figured out that any activity that you do before or after frozen yogurt is fun. This time we decided to walk to Tutti Frutti since all our bikes are flat right now. It was very relaxing walking I felt like we're moms going on our morning walk. We were able to talk about what's going on in the ward and our day at school and very random things.  The walk was good except for when you plan to a missionary lesson at 4:oo p.m. and you are just leaving the yogurt place at 3:40 p.m. 

Breanne!

Me and Breanne

Now that I am done with volleyball I have been able to go support my friends that are still playing. This weekend I was able to go watch Breanne Metcalf aka Megan's sister who plays a Moorpark College. I love this girl she is so kind, nice, and fun to be around. She a little like her big sister which allows us to get along great :) Way to go Breanne on a great game with 3 assist and some great  blocks!!

 This year my testimony grew a lot because of the misionaries in our ward and my callings. The last missionaries Elder Hessing and Bradbury helped me to become a better person and to helped me make the decision that I should serve a mission. Elder Hessing was a great missionary and helped me learn so much about this gospel!! 

 Thank you so much Elder Hessing!

Pie Making

For Family Home Evening we had a " How to make pie night". A girl in my committee Sarah volunteered to show us how to make apple pies which turned out great because it made me get ready for Thanksgiving. I was surprised to see around 22 people there to make pies. Sarah did a great job getting Talene to the activity  a girl in our ward that haven't seen in many months. It was great experience to see all the hard work that goes into making  apple pies and the chance to bake again.

Happy Halloween

Buttercup and Bubbles

To celebrate Halloween the girls and I went to the YSA dance in Santa Monica on Friday night. We dressed up as the Powerpuff Girls, I was Bubbles and everyone loved our costumes!! This was the best dance ever, they had over 2,000 people there and a really great D.J. The next night we threw together a little party at the boys house it was fun and light compared to the dance which was good because we were all still tired from the dance.

SEWING 150

Front

Back

I am taking FCS 150 which is pretty much sewing for beginners, this class has been so much fun and a lot of work. We sew little sample stitches every week and then we have to find a picture with that stitch and then write a definition of when you would use that stitch. We have about 6 a week so it gets pretty intense trying to do all the samples during the lab. This class was very expensive because we had to buy a whole bunch of sewing supplies and patterns costing me about $200 and some things we haven't even used yet. uh, So now I have my own sewing kit. Anyways the last couple of weeks we have been working on our midterm project which is a skirt!! I was so excited until I found out we are only allowed to make sizes 8 or 10 which I am clearly neither! (my professor is very weird) This made me sad, here I was creating the skirt with this ADORABLE fabric and its not going to fit.  I was really worried I wasn't going to get a good grade because she grades hard. However, the next class period I got my skirt back with a A- posted on it!! 

Pumpkin Carving!!

Jorge!!

The Gang!

Me and Jorge with our finished pumpkin

Angel Moroni and Our Cat in the Boot

The other night Leigh had a pumpkin carving party were we all got together and carved some really cool pumpkins and ate her delicious pumpkin cookies!! I made Jorge help me  which he was hesitant at first, but loved carving out the whole design.We thought our design was a cat standing with boots, like Puss in Boots the fairytale. However, after looking at our pumpkin all carved out we realized that our design was a cat head inside a full witches boot.haha .. We laughed so hard, we were like um sure okay a cat in a witches boot it is. It looked really bad till we lit it up, in which it looks legit!! Rudy and Lillie decided to be sneaky and create the angel Moroni which everyone guessed as soon as they began to draw the body. After a long hour of carving we went into the hot tub which was very much needed after a week of midterms.Thanks for a great night Leigh Robbins!!

Smart and Final

Being in California I have heard of different supermarkets, so the other day I decided to try something new besides my Ralph's which is like an Albertson's. So Katy and I go to Smart and Final  grocery store not knowing much about the store.While inside we realize that Smart & Final is like a baby Costco, but it is for everyone no membership needed. It was so hard trying to find something to purchase because everything was in bulk or huge so there wasn't anything I needed  being a college student. So note to self is, to find out what type of grocery stores they are before entering them.

The contester,  the one with the big ears won, not us :(

With Regional FHE being right in the middle of midterms I turned it over my ideas to Shayne to execute which he and Jami did awesome!! It was so cute tonight!! They had it set up like a small school carnival with a ring toss, tic tac toe bean toss, hula hoop toss, knock down cups, decorate a cupcake, and a carving pumpkin contest!! It was such a fun night, so many people showed up early to help and then stayed late to clean up! I love when people give their time!! Did I mention we had 60 people which pretty good since it wasn't advertised the best. Overall I had a blast, Halloween is so fun I can't to dress up on Friday!!

BLUE BOX?

Ryan Reynolds!!

After a fun  long morning with  Patton's, Katy and I went to buy material to make her bow and buy charms to make necklaces. In while doing so we were leaving Walmart and we saw  a Red box which I freakin love and am so glad someone invited them, but has anyone seen a BLUE Red box?!! I was laughing so hard does that make sense to anyone else? haha Anyways I thought I would share the photo with you all. P.S. We made Katy watch The Proposal  for the first time last night, which I LOVE this movie and  have seen it at least 50 times now but thats okay because Ryan Reynolds is SEXY!!!

Ward Prayer

My Little Pumpkins!!

Me, Katy, and Sister Patton and our cookies!!

Our Lovely Center Pieces

The Patton's

Saturday the girls and I went over to help Sister Patton prepare for Ward Prayer the next day so she had us make candy corn shaped cookies!! It was so much fun, I haven't baked in a long time.  After that Katy and I got to play Mr. Potato Head on the Patton's Pumpkins to be used for the center pieces at ward prayer, it was fun. I love Sister and Brother Patton they are so neat and such a great example to me and I'm grateful that they are part of the Posse.

Midterm Celebration

Look closely to see the gopher!

Little Gopher

The Girls

Ah I love Katy!!

Syd squishing me

After having two huge test, one big research paper, and sewing a skirt I was finally DONE!!! I was so excited, so to celebrate we decided to go shopping and find the shirts for our cute Halloween costumes. As we were leaving the dorms Sydney almost tripped on a gopher hole, so I went back to look at it and the little guy was in there. This gopher was so tiny compared to the one on Winnie the Pooh. So Katy took some pictures of the little guy for me! So look closely! At the mall we  got distracted trying to find Katy's bow, and  headed straight towards the funky sunglasses. So being girls we had to take pictures of ourselves! Later that evening we had a slumber party and pulled my bed out to make one big bed with the couch, but it didn't work all the way. We had fun playing  new card games that Syd kept coming up with, it was a great night with the Posse!!

Don't even ask? I still do not understand this game

Round 2

So Katy and Sydney were up to giving volleyball another chance which made me so excited. Before we could go play we had to go get our slurpees, which  Seven Eleven  mix was runny. :(  Anyways these two girls are great and I am so glad we are friend, they are both so full of energy and make me wish I was 19 again. P.S.I just finished my midterm week and it was horrible and long!! ah!  56 more day till I GRADUATE  baby!!
