On the Eve of Christmas

Christmas Eve was a blast as usual at Grandma Halls!

Santa brought each of the single grandkids a towel with our names embroidered on it.....excellent gift!

Christmas Fun!

On Tuesday night, a couple of my friends and I drove down to Salt Lake to see the lights at Temple Square. It wasn't too cold and it was a weeknight so there was a million people there either.....great time.

Last Saturday was my room mates, Toni's, bridal shower. After everyone had gone home my room mates and I decided to make a Christmas card. So naturally we borrowed our mother's sweaters and had our own top model Christmas photo shoot, Tyra would of been proud!

Finally....

Oh my finals are finally over and I can once again breathe! I have a lot to catch up on so here it goes.

Back in November I was able to help out my friend, who was one of the organizers, at the Special Olympics up on USU's campus. It was so much fun to help out with this event, and the athletes were so great!

For my final project in my Sewing class I had to design an outfit. So I had to make my pattern pieces from scratch and then be able to actually make a garment out of them. I didn't think it was going to be that fun, but I actually enjoyed doing it. I decided to call my pattern, Tyra Fierce...inspired by Tyra Banks and America's Next Top Model!

On December 2nd USU played BYU at the Spectrum and of course USU won! But more importantely I stood in line for 6 hours so that I could get into the Spectrum for the game.....it was a long day bur so worth while!

This past Tuesday my IWA chapter had a little Christmas Party at my leaders house and we decided to turn it into an ugly Christmas sweater party...so of course I had to raid my mom's closet, so wasn't impressed.

22nd Year

This past Wednesday was my birthday and I turned 22. When I went into work, my co-workers had decorated my desk and had bought me a cake!

Later that night some of my friends took me out to one of my favorite restaurants....Bluebird.

My friends Shanna and Lane gave me 22 goldfish.

After dinner my cute room mates threw me a little birthday bash. It was go great and so many of my friends came over to wish me a happy birthday and to eat cake and ice cream!

After everyone had left the party Shalese, Brooke, Derek, Jack, Jordan and I opened the last container of cold stone ice cream and downed it in about 3 minutes while playing cards....it was so yummy.

CWC Reunion

One of my best friends, Katie St. John, (who was my setter in Wyoming) plays for Carroll College in Helena Montana. On Thursday night she was in Salt Lake playing Westminster. So myself and some of our other team mates got together to go to the game. It was so much fun to be with all of the girls again!

Halloween Fun!

Halloween this year was kind of a low key event. I hung out in Lewiston for a little bit and went around with Boston and Daxton to the trunk or treat. Then I went with a group of friends to Texas roadhouse and then back to my apartment for a little Halloween Party!

Family Pictures!

So last weekend we had our family pictures taken by one of Georgana's very talented friends. We had them taken by the old train station in Smithfield by the Blue Sox's Field. Anyway if we want to see them just click on the link below!!!

Fall Break!

This year for Fall Break a group of friends and I went down to St. George and Vegas. We stayed a condo in St. George and spent out time there lounging by the pool sleeping in, and just relaxing. One of the days we spent in Vegas, of course I had to gamble a little but I learned my lesson since I lost everything I bet. But it was such a great weekend and it was really nice to get away from Cache Valley for the weekend.

Homecoming Week

Homecoming week just got over and the week was so fun and crazy! I volunteer on the Homeing/Traditions committee so I was able to help out with a lot of the activities. On Sunday we made cool robots....I am still not sure what their purpose was but I had fun making them.

I am also in the FACS club which is the club for my major and so I went and helped paint our clubs logo on the road in front the univeristy.

The Homecoming dance this year was great! There were four different rooms that each had a different theme so according to the room where you wanted to dance you could dress up to match it. I mostly helped out and took tickets all night but it was fun to see all the outfits.

Brad and Dirks

Some of my friends and I decided to go down to USANA and go to the Brad Paisley and Dirks Bentley concert. We just bought general admission tickets and sat on the grass but it was SO much fun!

Brad at the Temple! The concert was great and there were so many awesome "special effects."

Emma Halla Pollard

My little Cousin Emily got married yesterday in the Logan Temple to Jason Pollard! It was such a nice day and she looked beautiful!!

Of course I couldn't pass up the opportunity to have a top model photo shoot at the temple so we snapped a few shots....

Blast From the Past

So last weekend was the annual 80's dance up on campus. My friends and I look forward to this dance all year long! A couple of days before I went to the D.I. and found this beautiful blue dress and all throughout the night people kept commenting on it....it was a hit!

Best of August

So last week I had my first successful attempt making pizza from scratch. Normally I kill the yeast so it doesn't usually work out but this time it turned out beautifully. Other than I didn't realize that the recipe made two pizzas so the crust was like a loaf of bread.........but brother Kevin liked it so whatever.

The Hall's threw Emily's bridal shower this last weekend and it is tradition that we tie all the bows that are on the gifts in the brides hair.....then we had a photo shoot.
All of the girl Hall Cousins.

Then things got crazy as Alyson and Macey threw the rolls on Karalee's roof.

The Bodily Larsen Family Reunion at Willow Park

Me in my uncle Scott's Wrangers on our annual trip to Hanna. We were going on a four wheeler ride and I forgot to pack pants so I borrow his.......sexy kind of.....
