I have lived in 4 decades!

Now that classes are over, I am able to update my blog from it's previous Halloween state. There is so much to say, as this year and decade comes to an end.

So we will just begin where we had previously left off.


In the middle of September, the U hosts a homecoming dance (who knew?) So a group of friends and I decided to go check it out.
Joyce, Alison, Me and Rob. We went to Dinner at California Pizza Kitchen and then went to the dance-which was horrible! The DJ they hired was a joke, but at least we can say that we did it.

On the bright side, the refreshments were good.


My beautiful cousin, Erica won the prestigious title of Homecoming Queen. Yay!

For the Homecoming football game, a few friends and I decided to show our school spirit. It was a hit and got us on TV :)


We went to Logan to stay with Rob's family for a UPC director retreat. We stayed up late, I whooped everyone in speed scrabble and we had a great time (and took lots of pictures)!


The crew rebelling and throwing up our "U's" on the Aggie A.


Of Course, the typical jumping photo.





Tre was made captain of his basketball team at the U. He was voted captain by his teammates and his coaches. He is still not getting very much playing time, but it is nice for him to get recognized for all the hardwork he has put into that team.



October at Gardner Village is always crazy busy because of Witches' Night Out. This year, it was exceptionally crazy and so I didn't get very many pictures.

Kellie, Me and Colbs


Me and my two best friends, Teneil and Elysha



The second Crimson Nights of the year is always the Black Pumpkin Affair which is a HUGE halloween party.

A couple of days before the event, we set our customizable fangs so we would be all ready.

Me and E-balla

I love these girls. (ashley, alison, me and erin)

Me and My Associate Directors: Andrew, Josh, Heather, Erin and Alyx.

All of UPC and volunteers that made the event a success.

Brandon turned 28 on October 9th.


October 12th was Tre's big 2-1 birthday.

Mom got tickets for all of us to go see the Midnight Showing of New Moon.

On the 25th of November, Kristin turned 27



I can't believe that Christmas has already came and gone!Tyler, Brandon and I at the Sellers' Family Christmas Party
Me and Sisi.



Tristan playing with Tyler's "Pone".



Olivia and I at the McCune Christmas Party. She is my only cousin on this side that will hug me. (Unless you count Wyatt, who will let me, but only if I let him punch my leg off first).

Tre and I on our way to my work's christmas party.




Alison, Ashley and I after we exchanged gifts.


On Christmas Eve, Grandma came up with this game where we had to draw a bunchc of Christmas stuff-- but with our eyes closed. This is my version of a reindeer. Don't judge me, it is a lot harder than you would think.


My Grandpa might just be my very favorite person. We got him a gift certificate to See's Candy and this is him eating it. I don't know.... haha


Every year, instead of our Grandparents giving us presents, we get to grab into a jar full of coins. Before we started, Brent went and got us something to put our winnings in. Our ziploc bags are correlated with what Brent thought the outcome was going to be.


The pressure that Brent feels to draw the most, gets to him sometimes.

Total Grab: Approximately $29



OK, funny story. I grabbed once and somehow only got $22 ($5 of that was money my grandma kept slipping to me while we were counting because she felt bad for me.) So then Grandpa who was feeling very compassionate that evening (possibly because it WAS Christmas) and they let me put my first grab back and draw again. The second time around, I got a whopping $39.








Rob, Alison and I. My two favorite people to spend new years with.



Me, Alison and Jena-- after the snowball fight.




To celebrate New Year's my family and I went to see Avatar in 3D. And we were all very surprised with how great of a movie it was. I guess Dad does know what he is talking about.



and that is how we began the new year.







My New Year's Resolution is to be better at posting events as they occur.
