{i. heart. pomegranates.}

Oh my divine!!! I have always had this weird love for pomegranates that I don't know where it really came from since I don't think my mom has ever bought one. But I love them!! They are my favorite fruit. I was at Smith's the other night and saw that they were in season. I about died and instantly added one to my cart. I just bought one and that was a terrible mistake. It has been like 3 days and it is already gone. I need more right now. I am obsessed.

There have also been a few other foods that I have become obsessed with and those include: salami and pepperjack sandwiches, pretzels and hummus...but now the pretzels have been replaced by Garden Valley Veggie Baked Wheat Thins, and quesadillas.

Never thought I would post about food (unlike my father), but pomegranates are so worth it. A trip to Smith's for pomegranates will be occuring soon.

{ESPN College Game Day}

One word to describe Game Day....INCREDIBLE.
Carson and I got up long before the sun was up to go to Game Day. We walked over with Whit and were able to sneak into the pit and be right in the front couple rows for the taping of ESPN College Game Day. We couldn't believe how lucky we were that we got in...no need for camping out and no need for wrist bands. We were so happy. We love the many perks we get from the cheerleaders. Even though there was never a real good view of our faces, our sign made quite the TV appearance. It was such a blast and totally worth getting up at 530AM after only like 3 1/2 hours of sleep. And also worth the complete loss of voice that I am experiencing right now. I literally have NO voice and if I try to talk I sound like a man. I don't have much to say about the Cougars and the game. I was disappointed we lost, but not really because I knew going into it we would lose. I had no faith this time. Most games I am watching every play, but this one...not so much. It was much more a social gathering...walking around finding people day. I also just checked the ratings...we dropped. Not even ranked.
Way to go team.

Sher's Getting Married

The first one of my friends is getting married!!!! Even though I know quite a few girls that have/are getting married, Sher is the first one of my real friends to tie the knot. I am so happy for her and Jamie. It was so fun to be there right after it happened. They are so happy and are looking forward to what is to come. I am excited as well to help Sher plan and all the fun things about weddings. I love it all!!!!

Congratulations to Sheridan and Jamie Conde!!!!

Her ring is beautiful...good work Jamie!She was so surprised we were all there waiting for her!As of right now the tentative date is Feb. 13th in San Diego.

{Pumpkin Patch}

Today was the perfect day to go to a pumpkin patch. Nice crisp fall air... Whit, Cars, and I have been talking about going all week. So we ventured over and had so much fun. Who knew a pumpkin patch could be so fun. There were so many different kinds/shapes/colors of pumpkins. And whats a trip to the pumpkin patch without taking pictures. Even though I will always be a lover of summer I am beginning to enjoy all things fall.Each row of pumpkins had a name and what do you know but there was a CASE Blvd. I thought of Case Christian Lueck and knew a picture was necessary. Love Love Love!Happy October!!! Happy Fall!!!

Conference Weekend

I had a good time this weekend. Started things off with the BYU vs. USU football game Friday night. Another victory for the Cougars. Then Saturday we woke up and realized that our TV is even more broken then ever before. So Michele and I got ready and went to her brother and sister-in-laws apartment to watch conference. Then I was planning on just kickin it the rest of the weekend, but Michele's family was so gracious to invite me to join them for the weekend. Her parents drove down from Vegas for the weekend. So we went to lunch Saturday in between the sessions and this Italian place on Center St. that I had never been to before. It was way good...definitely going back. Then we drove up to Salt Lake and listened to the afternoon session in the car. We went to the hotel and then the boys headed to the Conference Center for Priesthood session and the girls went to The Gateway. I tried to find something fun...but was unsuccessful. We stopped at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory...I have been obssessed with carmel apples lately. Then we met up with the boys for CPK. Twice in one week and that place never gets old. Then we got ice cream. Can you tell I ate the whole world this weekend?!

Sunday morning we had tickets to go to conference, but due to some parking issues and what not we got there at 9:40 instead of 9:30 and they gave our seats to standby. Bummer!! So we got back in the car and drove to Provo. We went to Eric and Jills to watch the rest of conference. Jill made chicken and brocolli and some divine peanut butter bars. All the conference talks were great and I cant wait to get the Ensign so I can read them again.
Despite feeling like the hugest person on the planet it was a fun weekend!

Just A Random Post Because I Don't Want To Study

Blogging is a great way to procrastinate studying for History 201. I have no desire to study that junk because frankly I don't have a single interest in it. Stupid generals...good thing I am almost done with all of them. So this post is just a bunch of random things that I have been thinking about lately...

*I love my major. Even though I am not quite sure what I want to do with it, I love my classes. I think it is a sign when you get so engrossed in the lectures and time goes by so fast and you want to keep learning more. I feel that way in my Human Development class and my Family Process class. The same goes for my D&C class, but it has always been like that for all my religion classes.

*The cold has arrived here in Happy Valley. Yesterday was miserable, cold, dark, and rainy all day. Snow is on the top of the mountain peaks and it was still September yesterday. Today was still cold, but at least the sun was shining. It's going to be a long winter...I just know it.

*For some reason everyone's favorite month is October. It's a great time for seasonal change, it cools down (a little too much in my opinion), leaves change colors...I dont know but I think I will come to like October too.

*Romania Orphanages. Even though my dream is still to go to Africa, my teacher was talking about these internships/study abroads in Romania working in child orphanages. It also sounds so amazing. I really need to figure out what I want to do and if any of them are possible.

*BYU Sports. I. LOVE. THEM. The football games have been so fun thus far. We have great seats and I just love the energy at the games (especially when we win). And I am looking forward to basketball season as well. You can count me and Cars to be there front and center!

*Prophets. I love our Prophet. He came here like 2 or 3 weeks ago for a devotional and it was great. He talked about the past prophets that he has known and gave fun facts about them as well as things they would probably be saying if they were here today. It was fun to see the more humorous side of President Monson. I am looking forward to Conference this weekend.

*And finally life. I love my life right now. I have so much fun and I am always trying to be positive.
I truly have been blessed.
