Well, it appears its winter time. Its getting cold, I woke up to snow yesterday and had yummy hot chocolate and enjoyed the day. I dunno if I'm ready for the cold yet, its too soon! Ha but I am really excited to start wearing cute jeans and sweaters, and most importantly boots!! I'm turning into such a bargain shopper lately, I'm all over cheap everything. Like woot.com is my favorite website ever. They have daily deals that sometimes I just can't pass up. Like today I found Big Star and Silver Jeans today for 20 bucks. Big Star's retail for $110.00 and Silver's retail for about $80.00 so go Andrea for finding cheap ones. Its this place called Hollywood Sun, in Orem by Ridley's. They get new shipments every week and I'm excited to go in and see what they have next time. They had way cute clothes too, and a Dolche and Gabbanna knock off bag that was only 10 bucks. I should have got it but I was already overwhelmed with how amazing the clothes there were. I just love clothes and I love a good deal so when the two come together its amazing.
Its also the World Series incase no one knew and the Giants are in it! Grayson is beside himself he's so happy. They are plauing the Texas Rangers and they are up 1-0 they play again tonight and we'll see how it goes. I personally think they are going to win it all and I really hope they do because they are the ish. I used to hate baseball and now I really like to watch it, thank you Chandler and Grayson.
I'm really excited for Halloween, mostly because Utah plays Air Force and I'm excited for that game and I just like Halloween alot. We're going to a corn maze tomorrow and I love those they are so much fun. Its a haunted one with a swamp, I need to find some boots to wear so that my pants don't get ruined. I think we're going to dinner with Derrick and Roy, Grayson and his friend and Chandler and I and then to the corn maze. They have a haunted hay ride and a haunted corn maze and swamp thing. I think its gonna be really fun but extremely cold.

Wowsa
Jeez, I never know what to title these things, I don't really write about anything specific, I just write. Things haven't changed too much, just the same day to day of school, work, homework, hanging out with Chandler and trying to sleep in between. Travis is finally home and thats nice, even though I've only seen him twice. He's pretty popular don't ya know? He's pretty much the same as he was when he left so thats nice, I was afraid he would come home and be totally weird. Chandler has mid-terms reviews and mid-terms all week, which means early nights which I'm almost grateful for because morning comes way to flippin fast. I need a vacation ha I'm getting worn out and I'm still not even finishing everything. Its getting really old. I've gotta start setting a time to do homework instead of just doing it sparratically because I'm so tired by the time I get done with all of it that I don't remember anything that I've read. I have to read alot for my World War Two class but I don't alot because I'm too tired at 1 am that I just fall asleep. I probably should have taken the weekend off and gone to Park City with my parents hahah
Other then that life is great. I love where I'm at with myself right now and I've grown alot over the past few years. I just see things differently than I used to, its a nice change. I'm happier and more relaxed than I was when I was. Things stress me out a bit but its not the worst thing
So the day after Travis got home we drove the Alpine Loop and tried to find our tree, the only thing missing was Walter screaming out the windows. I sure miss that kid hahah, anyways, we drove around for FOREVER! We were looking for this flipping tree for like 2 hours I swear, we finally found it right as it got dark and it was awesome. I still remember carving it out and trying to pick the perfect tree, the area around it looks totally different now though so thats what took us so long, we stopped at the same little turn off twice before we found it. It still hasn't healed up all the way and we're gonna go up some time and carve in the date so that we don't forget this time. And I think I'm gonna take pictures to make a map to get there so we can take Walter when he gets home, which is March 16th in case anyone wanted to know.
We saw Jackass 3D the other night and it was so freaking funny, the first 20 minutes I thought I was going to throw up cuz I was laughing so hard it was absolutely hilarious, and really gross at the same time. We had a huge group go and that made it even better, there was Brit, Chandler, Grayson, Cyle (Grayson's brother), Tyler, Bree, Gillies,Trent, Gabe and David and his date. I think there might have been more but I can't remeber for sure. All in all life is about the same, nothing new really, runnin out of time to write this and I have to finish up a paper.

Missionaries :)
Well, I started this blog about 2 years ago, around the time that my best friend in the entire world left on his mission. I started it so that I could just kinda have something to do since I was so so sad without him here. Travis Denney was/is my best friend ever. Him, Walter and I were like the 3 amigo's before they both left me to serve. I am so so proud of them for taking 2 years of thier lives and being so willing to give that to God. They truly are amazing people. Travis was/ is serving in the Minneapolis, Minnesota mission and Walter is in California. Travis gets back in 5 DAYS!! I am seriously so excited I can hardly contain myself. Walter gets home sometime in March and we are seriously excited for him too :) We decided that if I was still single- I mean not married cuz I am definitely NOT single- that we would go on a road trip when everyone gets back. We'll have to wait til Summer considering I am in school but its gonna be a blasty blast, I'm definitely gonna bring Chandler so that he can meet them and love them as much as I do. Travis is the closest friend I think I have ever had uptil Chandler, he has been there for me since I was 4 and trust me, I've gotten him in his fair share of trouble. I remember once in 9th grade when we both go in soo much flipping trouble for lying to our parents and coming home late, like at 11 and our curfews were 10. Yeah we were both grounded for like 3 weeks and could only hang out at school, that kinda sucked but that night was so fun and totally worth it. He came to the Manti Pageant with me that summer and we had so much fun just walking home with our huge group of people. The best were the nights during our junior year when we would go hang out after work (Walter, Travis and I all worked at Maceys') and we would go hang out at the football field and drive around in the little Toyota Pickup and do donuts in the snow, we slammed into a curb once and bent that axle so bad that the truck drove crooked until Travis's dad went with him to find a new one. In the truck it was always Travis driving, me in the middle shifting and Walter screaming out the window at people. Those were the days, it was right after we'd graduated from high school so we didn't have to worry about school, or important jobs or any of that crappy stuff you have to deal with now, life was so much more simple.
When Travis left it was the hardest thing in the world for me and I seriously cried for 2 weeks and didn't get out of bed at all. It was definitely not the most fun I've ever had, my only consolation in the whole thing was that he was doing what he needed to be doing and what made him happy, reading his letters of him telling me how happy he was and the great people he was working with made it easier and as time went on I moved on too. Now I realize that 2 years isn't a lifetime like I thought it was going to be and I am so happy that he went its amazing. But I'm still so excited that he's coming home :) Only 5 days :) Then we can go find our Tree, we carved T.W.A. BFF in a tree up American Fork Canyon right before he left and I haven't been able to find it since, but he says he knows right where it is so I'm sure we'll go look for it soon, we'll have to because if we don't hurry up its gonna snow on us and we won't be able to find it. I don't think I can be patient enough to wait another year to see this dang tree. Life has changed a lot since he left and I hope he doesn't have a major freak out when he gets back. I just miss his face and can't wait to see him in 5 short days!!!

Family
Well, unfortunately Chandler's great grandpa Bill died this past week on Wednesday. He was 87 years old and lived a long happy life. It was his time though, he had dementia and health issues and alot of the time we felt like we were looking at a hollow shell. He'll be missed but everyone was prepared for it so it wasn't as sad as it could have been, although its never easy to lose a loved one.
Chandler's great Aunt and Uncle are here from Texas for the funeral and I'm happy they are here. They are so much fun! We went to Park City yesterday and all the kids (Emon, Isha, Kareem, and Reese) and Chandler, Terry and Kary went on the Alpine Slide and Heather, Bubbly, Brigette, Jadine and I went to the Baja Cantina and had drinks and chips and salsa. It was definitely a great day. Then we went to the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and got yummy caramel apples and delicious chocolate covered pretzles. All in all it was an awesome day, plus I had the day off work and school which hardly ever happens so that was definitely a welcome break.
With Chandler's grandpa passing it makes me think of my grandpa passing about 8 years ago and how much I really still miss him. It feels like its been forever since I've seen him but at the same time it feels like just yesterday we were playing back in the fields and sliding off the roof. I never thought those days would end. My life is so different now its hard to think that it was once that easy. I still remember certain things about his funeral, but the thing that I hope I never forget is the 21 gun salute that they did for him because he fought in WW2. I kept it together for most of the funeral thinking about how he was with my grandma and he was happier and trying not to think about how much I would miss him but when they shot off those guns that I'd watched with him every memorial day and watched him cry at every year I couldn't hold it in. I just cried and cried, I have the shell to one of the bullets from his funeral.
I never realized until I met Chandler how important your family was. I always thought my best friends from high school would be the people I was friends with for the rest of my life and that we would always stay close and they would be my "family" in a way. I haven't hung out with anyone I went to high school in about 2 years and sadly I don't really miss it. I miss certain people somedays but I changed and so did they. I just didn't get that your family is the ones at the end of the day that are there for you and really really do want whats best for you and for you to be happy. I'm sad that it took me so long to figure that out and I had to really hurt my parents in the process but at the end of the day, I learned it, and it worked for me.
