Go COUGARS!!!!!

That was a very sad game. I didn't really enjoy watching it. At all. Especially because I wasn't allowed to wear blue (we were in the athletic department's alumni association section). Sigh. There's always next year.

country dancing never faileth

Gangs all here....well almost...at least a good handfull. We went C.D-ing the other night...Gotta love it!

Just so you all know Jamie and I defyed gravity on Halloween night... :) Well not really, but we tried.

Paul is falling..

For our little Alicia. Can you blame him? She's incredible.. And he knows it. Better yet, he TREATS her like he knows it! Just wanted the sisters around the world to have a brief introduction to the man we call Paul. We call him Paul, because that's his name. Why did his mother name him Paul, you may ask? Probably because of a sweet face like this.. So cute. I looked up the meaning of his name and found out it means small; humble. From the looks of it, he was a small baby.. And I believe he's grown into the humility portion. He is a sweetheart. I've met Paul several times and he's so easy to be around! He's pleasant, kind, funny, sweet and good. There's this goodness about him that I really like. It's alot like the intense goodness that surrounds Alicia. He's comfortable with who he is, and adds a calming presence to the company he's with. And little kids love him.. Paul and Alicia compliment one another quite nicely! She brings out the best in him and he brings out the best in her. She smiles when she talks about him. Oh, did I mention he's ridden an elephant? He has. And also? He's doing the 10 days of 10/10 (a cute, creative countdown to her birthday this Friday). Who does that? I don't know everything, but I know enough :) Paul is kind, thoughtful, attentive, affectionate (bubble: burst),funny, intelligent, spiritual, hardworking, friendly, easy going, he's got a green thumb (their first kiss was in a garden), musically inclined, and I could go on and on. One of the most important things? He'd give her a run for her money in a white trash contest.. Dear Paul, We like you alot.

Fall Paradise

How did I ever manage to find the time to go to what I would call a fall paradise during an insanely busy time of my life? I don't know. All I know is that it was the first weekend in a while that I didn't have a training or a test.  My parents took the boat to Lake Mead, and the next thing I know I am leaving straight from school (I brought my suit just in case) and headed toward Vegas. I had the best nights sleep ever on the hotel couch and the next morning we were out on this beautiful water.

Why is waterskiing so much fun!

Sigh... What a joy. 

I simply must have a new ski for next summer.

In other news... 

A week and two days from today I will be visiting Justin in Idaho.

Can't wait.

Question..

Am I completely embarrassing if I love the new David Archuleta song Crush? Just let me know and I'll try to get over it.. Or accept me for who I am :) Alicia and I went rollerblading on Saturday--it was delightful! We wished you all could have been there. Actually, we wished we were all up Provo canyon on our way to Vivian Park. Those were the days..

Ode to Justin

Well the dreaded day has come. Justin left. It will be five weeks before I can go visit him in Rexburg. It is going to be a long five weeks. 

So Justin got his private pilot license so he took me flying the other day. I have always wanted to ride in the front seat of a plane so basically he made my dream come true. He even let me fly the plane. Here are some pictures of our adventure. We flew from Apple Valley, near his house, to Hesperia and circled over my house a couple of times. I didn't even throw up!
