Halloween Weekend

This weekend began on Friday morning with little sleep and a brain crammed full of details regarding Cardiovascular issues with medications for the test, I has at 9 a.m. Cramming that night seemed like my best way of completely my test the following morning accurately to get the best grade possible. When my test was done, the weekend finally began!

Friday NIGHT!

After a well deserved nap, I started the transformation into a Bumble Bee! I curled my entire head, sprayed my hair to be yellow and black and wore my cute little bee outfit for the night! Tonight's party was at the Institute Building and it was a BIG dance!

This dance was put on extremely nicely! I was able to catch up with several individuals I haven't seen in quite a while. I was able to see Mary Wharton, a sister missionary that taught me, she was dressed up as a pregnant nun. She was there with her boyfriend, Brandon Call (Love this kid)! I also was able to connect with a bunch of friends and have fun dancing. Got to love institute dances and the fun times that come with.

At the end of the night, I went to grab food with Trevor and Logan at McDonalds and Robertos. After stuffing our faces, Logan and I went back to my place and watched the movie the New Daughter starring Kevin Costner. Late night and it finally ended at 4:30 am!

Saturday NIGHT!

The entire day was spent catching up on sleep, studying and preparing my talk for Sunday's Sacrament. About 7pm, I began the transformation again into a Bumble bee, this time straight hair and no hair spray paint. It made it a lot simpler time getting ready and a less gross sticky clean up like the night before.

A group of us consisting of: Taylor Jensen, Drake Taylor, Andy Price, Logan Gull, Travis, Kenzi, Jill, Dallen Parker, Marcus, Taigan Neibar and I. All got dressed up and met up at Dallen Parker's house to do the finishing touches on some of the boys' costumes before heading out to Idaho Falls for the Regional Activity. Some of the things we had to get ready for the boys were their makeup, yes I said makeup... Drake Taylor had lip liner, mascara and eye liner on for his costume. While some of the boys we had to help create fake mustaches and side burns. It was a blast putting them together before we headed out! We finally left the house about 8pm to head North, looking like this.

The one hour car ride to Idaho Falls was a comical one for sure. We sang, talked about short engagements, church, and how college was going for everyone. When walking into the Stake Center which this activity was held at, we realized right away this was going to be different then the dance we had the night before. There was activities around the stake center going on as well as a dance in the gym (which didn't start til 10pm). So instead of being party poopers and heading the other directions. The 12 ish of us, got in the middle of a group of kids and had a dance party. It was like a High School dance when we showed up, no one was dancing, everyone was kinda standing around wondering who was going to ask them to dance with out moving around at all. Needless I say, we showed up and got the awkward stare from everyone, wondering what we were doing there. It was GREAT!

Throughout the night, there was activity type things going on and I swear someone from our group was always participating in them. Karaoke, Push Up Contest, Ballz-est Guy and Dancing the night away!

Push Up Contest - And look we beat the boy to the Left!

By the end of the night, we were all covered in Bubbles (from a bubble machine), sweaty, and pumped about making the activity a blast! But lets just say two nights in a row of dancing in heels with no sleep - it got to me for sure! I was so exhausted and was ready to sleep til Noon on Sunday.

Channel Four News Crew Assemble!

Taylor, Logan, Dallen and Andy went as the news crew from Anchorman!

Sunday!

The fear was tackled Sunday at about 12:45pm when Sacrament started. I was asked to talk on Missionary Work two weeks ago and that weekend was here. I gave my conversion story, my testimony on missionary work as well as my testimony knowing this church is true and this gospel is a testament that Jesus is the Christ! I love this church and was proud that Sunday I did not ball my head off from like I did at Stake Conference.
