HIlarious videos!

I have seen two hilarious videos on YouTube lately.  This is real humor not crude or high school humor.  They are so funny the first one is called Catherine Tate Translator, and the second is called German Coastguard.  Check them out!  

Shall we not go on in so great a cause?

Today for FHE we went to the Joseph Smith movie in Idaho Falls.  I absolutely love this movie because I learn something new everytime and I have better motivation to share the gospel.  I love the prophet Joseph Smith and his courage and pure patience to go through all that he had to.  In the movie Emma says after a difficult experience, do you ever wonder if the Lord asks too much?  Joseph answers and says, I don't let myself.  That is so powerful to imagine and apply in our own lives.  We need to control our thoughts and try not to ask the Lord, why me?  But instead take advantage of the things that can be learned from this experience.  My favorite part is the end, after Joseph finally passes away and is able to escape from all his trials, he looks to heaven and says "My Lord, my God."  Then some text come across the screen explaining that Joseph Smith died for the truth, Should we not go on in so great a cause?  That statement always gets me and drives to be better.  Joseph did so much to bring this gospel forward and the least I can do is share it and live it.  It makes me feel and greater need to step it up.  Praise to the Man!

ARRRRRGH!!!!!

Today we carved pumpkins as an apartment.  I decided to do something different and do a pirate with an eye patch.  We named him Archibald, but ARRRchie for short:)  Let me know what you think matey!!

Incredible Intramurals

I have been blessed to have very active and athletic roommates.  We have been involved in a lot of teams.  We have a soccer, football, and basketball team.  The yellow team is our football team, and this is a picture of our last game.  This other pic is of our ward basketball team.  Our soccer team is doing well and the tournament game is tomorrow so I will let you know how is goes.  I absolutely love it and hope to be this involved and active every semester.  Go TEAM!

Brotherly Visitation

Ben, Danner, and LaCol came to visit me the weekend of October 17th.  It was such a refresher and we had so much fun.  My brothers are so uplifting and I find it harder to quarrel with them the older I get.  Of course Danner had to give me the regular smothering, but I can handle that every once in a while.  Deep down I love it.  Friday night we went to the dunes and did a bonfire and Saturday they came to watch my harp rehearsal.  Of course they were such gentlemen and brought flowers and donuts to my rehearsal.  We also made it over to Big Jud's to share a pounder hamburger.  It was so enjoyable and I realize how much I miss them when I am with them.  Everyone is is love with them the minute they meet them.  

Show Biz

This last weekend I went to two amazing shows, and I want to let you know about them.  First one is the new movie Forever Strong, filmed at Highland High in Salt Lake.  It is about a High School Rugby team and the amazing coach that helped them become better people instead of just better athletes.  It is so good and there are no bad parts at all.  I definitely recommend to anyone!  Also, Natalie McMaster came to BYU Idaho.  She is a fiddler with her own band.  She does all kinds of music a lot of Celtic, scandinavian, and some Jazz.  She was a showman and put on such an energetic show.  She also clogs while she fiddles, and she is 5 months pregnant!  Her husband is part of the Leahy family band, which is also one of the best shows I have ever been too.  They do the same kind of music. 

LEROY

I just carved my first pumpkin of the year.  His name is Leroy and he is the best yet.  This year I did something different - I added some ears to the pumpkin.   Due to the fact that we can't have candles in our apartment, I used my scentsy to light Leroy up!  He is such a de-light to our apartment and everyone that walks past.  I love Autumn!!!
