MLIA

Right now i heart the website MLIA! After a super stressful day of homework, school, homework, finding time to breath, and oh yeah homework I love reading a few posts on this website to make my life happy! here are a few of my favorite posts today....

Today, my parents and I had to go to a teacher conference because I had gotten an awful grade on a math test. When we entered the room, I sat down and the teacher placed my test on the table in front of me. Across the table sat a blank version of the test with an apple on top of it. After a few moments of silence, the teacher looked at my parents and said, "Your son only scored 10% higher on that test than this apple just did." MLIA

Today, I passed an elementary school with a student parking lot. I'm still confused. MLIA

Today, I asked my mom what it would taste like to fry something in water. She responded with "that would be boiling something". MLIA

The other day, I was on mystery google and recieved a mission to get my neighbors gnome and move it one foot everyday till it reaches my neighbor's doorstep. I decided to have some fun and do the mission. Today she came over my house freaking out asking if I was moving her gnome, I tried not to laugh and said no. She thinks its alive. funniest. week. ever. MLIA

Thanksgiving!

This Thanksgiving for my dad's work (waste management) we volunteered at a shelter for abuse women and their families. We had tons of booths and served Thanksgiving dinner. My family was in charge of the tattoo station! Kids kept coming back for more and by the end some kids had tattoos all over their arms! They were so cute! It was a little rough getting the hang of it at first but by the end we were pro! If anyone needs help with tattoo's I know all about it (but only the fake kind :) best thanksgiving ever!

flight, twilight, sleepover, and kimbers wedding!

So on Thursday we barely made it to the airport on time only to find out that our flight got delayed a whole hour! YUCK! Luckily, both Dana and I had our laptops to keep us entertained! When we finally got on the plane we watched HP 6 to make the flight go faster! And it did! Thank goodness because we were SOO excited to be going home! I finally got home about 11 and my brothers and sister were freaking out because we only had an hour before twilight started so I got home and ran right back out the door again! haha! Here are a few pictures from the midnight showing! Oh and the movie was AWESOME!



That next night for Karissa's birthday we had a sleepover in a tent in Karissa's backyard! It was so fun to see all the girls! The next day I helped my sister at a boutique selling head bands and baby bands! They were so cute and they made a TON of money! That night was Kimber's wedding! Crazy Crazy Crazy! It was gorgeous!!!! I am happy I could be down in Mesa for it! Here are a few pictures from the wedding!

So this weekend we had a relief society appreciation dinner where we went and ate dinner and were appreciated! It was way fun! We got dressed up all pretty....We had a blast! These girls are amazing :) love them to death!

food drive results!

So after hours of hard work and dedication we finally packed all the food in my car and took it to the Food Bank here in Provo! It was awesome!

We had a total of 847 pounds of food! I'm so proud BYU 38th ward! Way to be! :)

Food Drive!

For my calling on the Pure Religion Committee Mike M, Mike J, and I were in charge of the November service project! We decided to go with a canned food drive seeing as it was November and all, so on Saturday we got together and put out 300 fliers and bags in neighborhoods over by the temple here in Provo. It took us three hours! Long morning haha! Then on Monday night we gave each FHE family about 30 houses to collect food from! After a long and time consuming process we got all the donations back to my apartment! We ended up having a total of 846 pounds of food that we donated to the local food bank! Way to go BYU 38th Ward!!!
Our first task after receiving the food was organizing all the food and making sure it was all usable! We got some pretty hilarious stuff (dont worry pictures of these humorous items are at the end of this post! dont you dare skip to the end haha jk)
here are a few pictures of the food as well as the organization party!

Then we had to carry all of the food to my car! It was riding SO low after we put all the food in there! and it all fit! hooray! heres a pic of the boys showing off their muscles from carrying all of those cans!

All right and now for the part you have been waiting for! Here are the top worst things we got from all the donations!
Honorable mention goes to.... drum roll please...The retaped box of jello mix and
The opened bag of marshmallows that had to have been at least a few years old! It was as hard as a rock!!!!! No matter how hard we pounded it we could break at!

Now here goes the top three...
In third (oh and thank you to Brian for being my model!!)we have a cookie mix from Christmas last year haha!

and in first and second place (now you may be asking yourself how anything could get worse than the what we have already seen but oh dont you worry it can!)
In second place- a half used pancake mix that had been expired for quite a while.

And now for the moment you have all been waiting for! The first place prize goes to.... spaghetti sauce that expired in 1999! yes 1999, 10 years ago! The sauce was turning a nasty greenish black color and the sauce was less of a sauce and more of a molding solid! Disguesting?? oh yeah!

Well all in all, we had an amazing food drive and are so grateful for all the poeple who donated food!
