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!

   

Country Fun

We all know that I can't go long without some country dancing. Good thing we are both on the activities committee ;) We even had a pie bake off and our pie, the Peach Blossom Special, took first prize! 

Don't ask me what we were doing here.

Let the fun begin!

Well, here goes nothing. I have spent the last few days in my classroom trying to get ready for students (who come tomorrow). I am not nearly as prepared as I would like to be, but ready or not, here they come. Deep breaths.... one day at a time.

Just to stir things up.. .

Alicia is the Apartment President.. She got 2. And she liked it :)

That's supposed to say "hello" in Korean. It is time to welcome back another Sisterhood member from life in the convent. Jennifer Suzanne Mabray, WELCOME HOME!!!!! We missed you more than you will ever know. Please do not ever leave us for a year and a half again (unless you are old and serving a mission with your eternal companion). One more member to go and we will all be on the same continent again - how long as that been now? 3 years or something? Lame - can't we just all stay as we are and never change? Now I feel like Jo from Little Women . . . anyway . . . Jenn, here's a little update on what's been happening since you've been gone (yes, you can sing that last part - thank you Kelly Clarkston).

• TIFF is home from her mission!!!! Living in Boise, working as an athletic trainer at Nampa High and taking some classes at BSU. She's also been busy getting "2" and working the Boise crowd. Good work Tiff.
• ELISABETH is married!!!!! Holy hot stuff Tyler Williams. Ooooowwww!!!!! It all started with some innocent bumping while they ate crepes at one of Brooke's parties, and now they are painting their living room walls together. How romantical!!!!
• CRYSTAL is ALSO home from her mission! She's going from "Sister" Bloom to "Miss" Bloom so she can teach little middle schoolers starting this fall. Pretty sure she's been voted as "Hottest Teacher of the Year" and the school year hasn't even started yet! She also has a cute manfriend. Wooo Wooo!
• JAIME, as you know, is STILL on a mission. Le weep. Any chance we can convince her to come home early? Pretty please?
• JAMIE (since she finally posted something (well, sort of - through Crystal) she gets to be in on the update) Anyway, she had a great swimming season - Best Breast in the West to be exact! After she bikes from Hesperia to Provo (he he) she has one more semester at BYU and then it's on to another exciting adventure somewhere with lots of cute boys.
• ALICIA (that's me!) just returned from the Motherland. Pretty sure the Sisterhood really does need to make an Asian trip sometime - with all these missionaries and such we could conquer the world!!! Oh, and I may have a cute boy too. More to come. :)
  

PS..

I know, I know. Two in one day? I have ADD. Just wanted to announce that Tyler finally (kind of) gave his blessing.. And we have a blog! It's not much to look at yet, but keep checking back. Julia, I'd love access to yours! http://tylerandelisabeth.blogspot.com
