October and recent happenings

I'm treating myself to a lil' blogging session tonight. I've been doing homework for like 7 hours (curse you paper!!), so this is my reward :) This weekend is Fall Break, a 'break' meaning that we get one day off of school {lame, but I'll take it}!! My family has been planning a weekend over Fall Break for the past few months. I was hoping that I could get off work from my jobs to go, and I DID!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so nervous to look at my schedule for Fall Break weekend, but when I saw that I had Thursday-Sunday off I wanted to cry tears of joy. Seriously people I need a break! Petey and I are going to head down to my house Thursday night, and we will head down to Palisades State Park Friday morning. My mom's whole side will be down in Palisades too, so that will be fun! My parents rented out a cabin for all of us too, so that will be legit. However one thing that will not be so fun, is that I have a test Monday morning, the day I get back from Fall Break. NOT COOL!! I hate having to study of long/fun weekends. Oh well :)

Petey and I haven't been up to much lately, just school and work. I finally got a Saturday off (yesterday), so I was lazy for like 20 hours and it was lovely. A few weeks ago we went down to the USU vs. BYU game, which was really fun until the last 15 seconds. We had some BYU fans turn to us and say "I'm so sorry" and I wanted to be like REALLY? Are you REALLY sorry? You just won!!! Grrr...I had to use all my energy not to scream. My mom works at BYU (which is funny, I know) so it was fun for me and Petey to hang out in her office and walk around BYU's campus wearing our Aggie gear. We got some weird looks, and we loved it :) About a month ago Petey, me, my mom, dad, and little brother Tanner went to a Real Salt Lake game. It was really fun, and a gorgeous night! Petey loves soccer, so it always makes me happy when we get the chance to go to a game. He gets so giddy haha. Here are some pictures from the game:

These people are LOVE RSL...like seriously...

Under the lights



I love October when the leaves start changing...but I hate knowing that the bone-chilling winter of Logan is coming. However, I do like these things! Last week when it we had a cold spell Mr. Peter and I decided to buy some Stephen's Gourmet Hot Chocolate (chocolate raspberry flavor!) I love hot chocolate!!! I finally got to use my Minnie Mouse cup too!





I especially love whipped cream and sprinkles!
I'm a sprinkles freak.

I LOVE Count Chocula. I had a freak-out
attack when I saw this in the store.
It's probably the unhealthiest cereal
on the plant and I. Love. It.


This is a bad picture, but these are mini brownie
bites with orange chocolate chips. Love!
I'm a sucker for 'cute things'!! My husband has
to restrain me from buying every cute thing
I see haha.


I decorated for Halloween a few days ago. I love decorating! I just wish I had some more stuff! I'm sure I'll build up a collection in time....



Love him! SO cute

This cute sign on our nasty door


I'm really excited about our vacation this weekend! I'll take lots of pictures, and I'm going to try to get better at blogging! I also need someone to tutor me on how to make the sidebars of my blog cute with pictures and such....I need help! Also...I need help with a Halloween costume! What should I be?!!!!


Love you all! Happy October :)

Life....

Don't worry friends....we are still alive. I've wanted to blog a lot lately, but I seriously haven't had time! This whole working 2 jobs thing, and trying to be a student takes up 99% of my time, especially recently! During last week I had 3 exams, and last week was also the (STUPID) Case Lot at the Lee's Marketplace. If Case Lot were a physical item, I would punch it multiple times, as hard as I could. I'm so sick of seeing cans!!! Since it was Case Lot I was scheduled over my maximum hours (which is 12)...I was actually scheduled 22 hours. I had a little freak out because I work 17 hours at my other job, and working 40 hours a week while going to school isn't very fun. Luckily I got someone to take one of my shifts, so that helped a little. This week (STUPID) Case Lot continues...and I have one exam and 2 papers due. I'm am sooooo looking forward to this weekend. My plan is to do absolutely nothing this weekend and I'm so excited!!!! Petey the past 2 weeks has had an Organic Chemistry exam, a Calculus exam (barf), and a Communicable Diseases exam. We've been busy lately....but we've already made plans to do something fun this weekend, so hopefully my next blog post will be more exciting :) Life has been a little stressful lately, but we are alive! I hope I can survive until Friday!
