HORRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY BAD day

Monday was TERRIBLE!! From the time I got up, to the time I went to bed, things continued to go wrong...

1. Icy Roads on the drive to school left me sliding all over the place.

2. Once I got to school, the games I had worked FOREVER on the teacher said didn't look like they took more than an hour. RUDE!

3. I traded my games with others in my class and they were all fine, but not AMAZING, not to say mine was... but I did think my game was SUPER cute.

4. I got a Report back in one of my classes and got a HORRIBLE grade on it, which now gives me a C in the class, which I am NOT ok with.

5. I REALLY need to work on the next report that is due in that class, but I am so mad about my last grade that I can't even focus on writing it.

6. At seminar that night, I had my photographic Essay (Which took days to create) on a thumb drive, not a CD and so I will probably get a bad grade on that project too.

YESTERDAY was a HORRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY BAD day.

I LOVE HIM!!!!

Tyler is so wonderful! I love him soooo much. There is no specific reason or something that he did. I just love him MORE than anything or anyone.

I LOVE YOU TYLER!!!!! :)

HALLOWEEN 2010

The Friday before Halloween we went out to dinner with Andrea and Bryce in Idaho Falls. Tyler and I got a "Family Size" pasta to share. It said it is meant to feed 2-3 people and we were both STARVING, so we thought it would be PERFECT! We ate dinner that night and had 2 meals after from that pasta. It was yummy, but neither of us will want Fettechini Alfredo for a while :)

HALLOWEEN NIGHT

Halloween was on a Sunday so we had a get together at our house! Silly me, didn't take any pictures during it. We just took a few before people came. I made 7 layer dip with spiders and a Jack O' Lantern Cheeseball. Both were delicious and a hit with our friends! :)

Tyler had a cute idea for us for halloween this year. Unfortunately, not everyone has seen Prison Break!!! Anyway..... Tyler was Michael Scofield and I was Sara Tancredi, the Prision Doctor that falls in love with Micahel. It was fun! Doesn't Tyler look GREAT!!?!! :)

SpUd PiCtUrEs!

We passed the Drive-In on our way home from camping and took some SPUD pictures :)

Houston.... We have a PROBLEM!

After we had been in school for a week or two, Bryce and Andrea, a couple we are good friends with decided we NEEDED to go camping before the weather got too cold. So, we packed up all our stuff and off we went to a camping site near a natural hot spring. We were all SUPER excited! By the time we got to our campsite, it was DARK. We had decided to only bring one tent, because we knew it would not be light and we didn't want to set up TWO tents in the dark. so..... we brought Bryce and Andrea's tent. Then and layed it out.

After laying out the tent.... we realized we had a problem..... NO TENT POLES!!! Andrea's Mom had given them the tent and apparently, they forgot to put the poles back in the bag, so the poles were still in Washington state. Yep, there was not one single pole for ths tent ANYWHERE. So..... Tyler and Bryce went to work on a solution. There were trees all around our site and we had Bryce's truck. None of which was helpful without rope or twine or SOMETHING that could hold our tent up. Bryce went and asked the neighbors and they had string/twine and were willing to let us borrow it.

We ended up stringing the twine across 2 TREES, tying it to Bryce's CAR and using wood and an AX to make stakes to keep the tent up. They men did a great job! I think the tent looks pretty good for what we had. No bears attacked us during the night and the tent did not fall in on us! :)

Below are a few shots after we woke up in the morning.

When we woke up, we ate cereal, then headed to the hot spring! It was lots of fun, but we didn't want to get our cameras wet, so no pictures..... sorry!

After the Granite Hot Spring we went to a beautiful waterfall and took pictures. We had lots of fun climbing the rocks and going in the canyon.

Tyler and Bryce climbed up to the top of a ledge.

Getting Up Off Our LAZY bums!

Tyler and I have both gained some weight since we have been married and decided this weekend (during Halloween) that we wanted to start working out again. The gym at our apartment complex is always SUPER busy, so we bought some of the school's APPROVED clothing for the gym and started going on Monday. We are usually at the gym for an hour and it feels great! There is another couple in our ward and they live a few doors down from us, and we have been going to the gym together and trying to make it fun and more like a double date, than working out....It has been a TON of fun! Hopefully we can stick to working out and drop the few pounds we've gained. :)



P.S. Eventually I will update about camping, halloween and whatever else I have missed :)
