a seriously needed break!

This past weekend I was once again reminded why I hate Utah (don't worry I heart BYU)! It hasn't snowed really hard here in weeks and weeks and then the one time I need clear roads to go visit my family who is in st george for spring break there is a freakin blizzard across the entire state! curses! I was really upset but I tried to drive down on Saturday night and made it to Payson (like 30 miles south of provo) and the roads were just completely covered in snow because the plows couldn't keep up with all that snow! ugh! So I had to turn around and go back to Provo! Thanks Utah!!! Luckily on Sunday afternoon the sun FINALLY came out and I threw everything in my car and drove like a mad man (i mean very saftely mom, dont worry!) to see my family! I finally got there at about 8 pm on Sunday instead of Saturday afternoon as planned! But I did get to see my family!!! I was so happy! I haven't seen them since December (on a depressing note marci and my dad weren't there so i still haven't seen them! sad days!)!
On Monday we were busy busy busy! We went shopping (and found the CUTEST dress!!), and played scrabble, and went ice skating!!! I laughed so hard during scrabble I cried and my abs are actually sore!
Here are a few pictures of our epic ice skating adventure

Then on Tuesday we slept in :) and then went quading out in the desert! It was gorgeous and the weather was perfect! It was SOO fun! :) We went out to this old fortress and went, saw dinosaur tracks, then ended it by riding around in the red sand dunes! SO fun!

p.s. we only have five more weeks of school and then i get to go home for a whole month before i go to aspen grove!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!

this means war...

So a couple of weeks ago I innocently stole my roommates keys so some guys in my ward could put newspaper and packing peanuts in her car. No big deal right? Well, a couple of days later Dana and Tori stole all of the guys clothes and dropped some off at every girls apartment in our ward. Let's just say he was less than thrilled but I'm not going to lie, it was pretty hilarious! but I was afraid dana and tori would get me back for stealing her keys so for like a week I had to sleep with my phone and my car keys. Well I thought I was in the clear from this war and let my guard down and then on Sunday I went out to my car to drive to church and this is what i found...

mean right? They always call my van an astro and I always get mad and tell them its a GMC safari! Because I don't drive an astro!!!! Well the stupid paint took me like an hour to get off my car that week, and no one will confess to who the culprit was so as far as I'm concerned dana, tori, richard, stephen, and jeremey are all guilty until proven innocent! This means war my friends!

Aspen Grove

I'm officially going to be the new Tromper leader at Aspen Grove this summer!!! I am so excited they are letting me come back and now I get to watch older kids that will be around 4 and 5! P.S. I love Aspen Grove!!!!!!!

oh BYU

So facebook there are two groups called overheard at BYU and seen at BYU where people post funny things that they see/hear! I think they just hilarious, so being the person I am, I am posting a few on here for you to enjoy! I hope you think they are as funny as I do! but maybe its just a BYU thing...
here goes.

Here is a few from overhead @ BYU
"Did I tell you I got asked out on two dates, all in the space of 8 minutes? Personal record of mine."

On my way to devotional this morning a guy was talking on his phone...
"It sounds like a secret combination! ... I just hope I don't get caught up in some mega cult and have to run for my life for the next five years."

Physical Science 100 TA: I hope I get translated while wearing this shirt; I don't want to leave it behind.

Religion professor after reading Proverbs 5:18-19 aloud to the class: "Who says being religious can't make you sexy?!"

"Sharing the Gospel is like doing crack cocaine. It's addictive. If you haven't tried it, try it." - Brother Bott

Me: Hey, I was writing a reaction paper for Psych and I had a citation question. So, in APA, do I cite the year 1830 for the Book of Mormon or 1981?

Walking out of the Marriott Center after the devotional: "Did the engineers pray before they designed this? Because ifthey did, there would be like fourteen more exits."

"This is going to be the week from the terrestrial kingdom. Ugh."

Physics professor showing an example on the board:
Professor: So what's the first thing you do when you see this problem?
Student: Pray.
Professor: ok... What's the second thing you do?
