Finally pictues and videos from Justin!

This cracks me up, Justin and I took a picture there once and I guess it is kind of our spot he said that Elder Gibson was "comforting" him

Here is Justin and Elder Gibson, they aren't companions but they grew to be good friends.

The other day, Justin's mom, Robin called me to tell me that Justin sent home his "smart card" home to view his pictures and videos. We just had to plug it into the computer and we could watch all the stuff he has been up to. He sent home the stuff he did in the MTC with the other Elders. WOW! boys will be boys, there crazy thats for sure. He has lost about 8 lbs since he's left and you can totally tell. It was so good to actually see him instead of just letters. I am amazed with technology now a days. It makes things so much easier. Anyway, here is just a couple of things he sent home....

My fall break

I love these pictures! Kyler so enjoyed my kisses all night!

This weekend was my fall break. I went home on wednesday, then went back down to school on Sunday. This weekend was really fun. I went shopping pretty much everyday with my sisters. It was good to spend time with them. My little sister Whitni went down to the gateway, it was really fun to just spend time with my little sister. She is a freshman in high school and is growing up so fast that I just wanted to hang out with her. So I just hung out here and there then Saturday was when I really had plans. Every year Justin's family and friends go to a haunted house. I've kind of been adopted into his family the past couple of months, even more so since he has been gone. Every time I go home I always stop in at their house for a couple of hours and hang out. I love his family to death, there always doing something fun and making me laugh, I think it's good for both Justin's family of I with Justin being gone. Anyway, Saturday we went to a haunted corn maze. It was a freakin blast! Justin's family is really close to their next door neighbors, The Kinseys. They are hilarious, as i've gotten to know them I have really learned to love them. I feel like them and the Riches are my "second family" I had a blast and was constantly laughing. Bryan, Sherri and their son Kyler Kinsey are way fun to be with. Bryan, the whole night was trying to scare Codie and me, It was fun though. While Justin is gone, for those that have seen "P.s. I love you" Justin is doing that for me once a month for two years. My October "P.s. I love you" was to go to the haunted corn maze with his family and he had something for me to wear. Turns out it was a pumpkin costume. I looked like a fruit cake, but thats okay, I wore it for pictures and then took it off. Here are just some of the pictures we took. Happy Halloween!

The crazy weekend

This was at the bon fire, thats our neighbor across the hall, Emily. We love her!

At the football game, it was freezing!

So this weekend was a lot of fun! It was homecoming! We went to the pep rally, the bon fire and the homecoming football game. I must say that it was absolutly freezing! We only stayed until half time then jetted back to our apartment. Kelsey R. and Katelyn went home this weekend so they missed out on all the fun, but thats okay, maybe next time. Kelsey M. got asked to the dance by her friend Jake. I did her hair and makeup. She said it was too girly, so I redid her hair like five times I swear! It was so freakin cute the first time I did it, but she said it just wasn't her. She looked hot, but whatever she is who she is. So I calmed her hair down a little bit and got her ready for the dance. It was like I was playing dress up with a human barbie doll! I picked out her dress, did her hair, makup, helped her pin her dress and watched her go on her date while I sat home with Britt. Our neighbors across the hall, Emily and Kelly came over and watched a movie as well. This weekend was a lot of fun. It's fall break so this weekend everyone is going home so next weekend we'll kick it up in Ephraim, Utah

At the Pep rally

Just Me and Britt

Once again, just me and britt

We did it!

So you know how in my last blog I said one day we will master the art of climbing walls? Well last night, we did it! We were exstastic, it took us a little while, but we got it. Kelsey M. got it in after like the second time, what an acrobat! Kelsey R. and I were determined to get it, and we finally did. It hurt so bad, but it was worth it. We can now say that we have climbed the walls! we got a lot of video of it, There is one where I finally got it, and there is one where I was attempting it. We were laughing so hard, like I said, you have to make your own fun around here. We did this at about 11:30 last night, the people below us probably hate us because we were so loud, but hey, what do you expect with a bunch of college students?

College life

So the other night, we were all so hyper! Kelsey M. and I were bouncing off walls, actually we were trying to climb up the walls but it wasn't working, someday we'll be able to climb walls and be cool, but now we'll just stick with what we know. So we went to the next best thing, we sat on the walls, our legs were burning! oh ya baby! Kelsey R. decided to join in with the fun and jumped on in. College life with these girls is a freakin blast! We have a lot of fun together! Brittany being who she is, wouldn't get in any of the pictures, so she was our photographer and katie lyn upside down was in her room either studying or asleep, I think we drive her crazy sometimes, but hey you have to make your own fun in good o'l Ephraim, utah!

Getting a little sassy!

our closet is becoming ridiculous. I need to stop shopping but i can't seem to stop!So me and Kelsey are roomies, and loving it!

One busy weekend!

So this weekend was super fun. I went home for the weekend for general conference and Justin's sister Codie and I went shopping. We went shopping the previous weekend and since we spent so much money at Kohl's, we got bonus bucks that we had to spend this weekend or they would expire So we had to go and spend that. Man, I feel like all I have done is go shopping, but thats totally fine with me! I love shopping, I don't think I could ever get sick of it. My roommate Kelsey keeps giving me crap cause we both already have so many clothes and with me going shopping all the time, it is not helping out the space issue that we already have. Thats okay, she can borrow them anytime she wants. It's nice having your best friend be the same size as you. It's like doubling our closet, and not to mention the shoes that we have combined! You gotta love being a girl. Also this weekend was my sister Aimee's birthday, we had a get together on Sunday and hung out, I unfortunately left for school and didn't get to stay just as they were bustin out rock band. Darn. On my way to school, I always stop at Justins house to hang out with his family, i'm actually with them quite a big. I love them to death! Justins sister, Codie and I are super tight and I love his parents to death! It makes it easier with Justin being gone. They have that empty part in their heart that only Justin can fill in to. So we can suffer together! Just kidding, Justin is doing what he needs to do. He leaves for Arizona tomorrow! i'm hoping that maybe I will get to talk to him for a second while he's at the airport, but we'll see. I hope so though. I guess we will just have to wait and see what tomorrow brings! While Justin's been gone I have only got two letters. I was feeling a little neglected cause it's not like Justin to not write me often, I just figured he was busy, well I guess he had something wrong with my address so all the letters he had been writting to me got sent back to him! he sent them to his house after he got them back. I came home on Friday and got my letters at their house. There was about six letters just waiting for me. I was so happy, I had a smile on my face all night. It was so nice to hear from him!

Update on Elder Riches

Justin has been in the MTC in Provo for the last 15 days and counting! It feels like he's been gone for 15 years rather than 15 days, but i'm trying to keep busy while he's gone to make the time go by faster. I've come to realize the days that I am just going, going, and going that the days go by faster and i'm not stressing about him being gone as much. I miss him like crazy, but it's getting easier and it will keep getting easier....I hope. ANYWAY, Justin leaves for Arizona October 8th. His flight leaves at 8:30 and he'll be to his destination about 9:15. Wow, what a long flight. He's doing good, he's super homesick, but what missionary isn't when they first start out? Justin is a huge home body. He loves his family, and loves being with them so for him to be away from them is a huge adjustment. Justin is the biggest social butterfly I have ever met in my life. I think of myself as one, but I think he has me beat, which is hard to do! He's an excellent communicator so that will help him out extremly on his mission. His companion right now is super shy and he said that he doesn't dig that, but his companion is good with scripture references and Justin does that talking, so I guess everything works out. I know he's going to love being on his mission in no time! He's going to be an awesome missionary!

Kelsey that little snot, she loves my feet! They all dropped me the second the picture was over! what nice roommates I have!

Trying to pose!

Just another day in Ephraim

My roommates and I have a freakin blast together! unfortunatly, my best friend, Kelsey Rees isn't coming back after this semester so I am super sad about that, but everything will work out just fine. So I finally have a picture of my other roommate Katelyn! She was actually home when we wanted to take pictures. Don't ask what Kelsey Mckinnon is doing cause I have no idea, she was being a spaz!
