And the craziness continues…

A lot has changed since the last post. I have been to many weddings, I have moved, I have started school, and I have a new calling. Currently I am in one of my student teaching semesters at the U of A, so all of my classes are squished in to end by the middle of November. I am also still working for the Federal Government 3 days a week for 21.5 hours total. My schedule leaves me barely any time to study, let alone have fun! I had a midterm today, and I have one tomorrow. Ahhh! Don’t worry, I think I will be fine. My new calling is FHE group leader, which is also very time consuming. Usually I get to play on weekends. Last weekend I went to a “Sports” party, and hosted my own party. I am totally looking forward to the long weekend! I hope you enjoy the pics!


This is me and my sister, Kristen. She is pretty much my room mate on weekends because she stays at my house. I drag her to all sorts of parties etc. We have a similar sense of humour, except I am slightly cornier. I know, she looks older than me. What can I say? It's the way nature intended.


I just wanted to take a moment and publicly congratulate all my friends that have recently got married. I was not able to make it to all the weddings, but I have heard news of many of the couples, and things are going good. Holla! to Jeff and Brittany, Tom and Hayley, Layton and Kim, and to my old roomie Jen and her man, Jordan. Also, YAY for Nicole and Matt who just got engaged. I am pretty much a member of the family, so I expect to be invited to the reception, AND the family dinner. Hint, hint, nudge, nudge!

This is a pic of the newly married Tiffany and Graham, and me, their love child. Tee hee. Why am I so perpetually weird?

This is Zak and Evelyn. I still see these two since the wedding, since Evelyn and I have a couple classes in the same building. I totally loved the food here, and let’s be honest, that is half the reason why I go to weddings!


Behold! the hottest girl around. I have searched near and far, and I have not found a woman as great as my dear friend Lisha. She turned 21 on Aug 30. Happy birthday, BFF! We went out to this great restaurant here in Edmonton. It is called Chianti. They have incredible homemade pastas and sauces (they squeeze the tomatoes by hand), and they are cheap!

This pic is of my new house. It is super nice and cute… just like me?? Whatever. Lisha and I have our own rooms, and Chelsea and Andraya share. We have a new addition to the family as of Tues night. Chelsea was asked to Bishop’s Ball with a live chicken. We have named it Gertrude, and she stinks. We take her outside everyday, but at night we have to bring her in because it gets cold. She has already escaped once. NOT FUN. I can’t wait for Friday, she won’t be going anywhere. Dun, dun, dun…


Here is a specimen, which is not from my garden. Lisha and Chelsea grew this zucchini. We have soooo much. We have made zucchini carvings, baked zucchini muffins, fed some to the chicken, ate it fried, and used it in our oil and cheese fondue. We are still plagued with some, please, someone take some, please!

And last but not least. On Sat. Sept. 30, while all the men were at the Preisthood session of conference, my house had a Girls night party. We danced and chatted, but we also ate and ate and ate. We had oil, cheese, and of course, chocolate! Everyone brought something to dip, so there was all sorts of food. Some of my favourites included angel food cake, bread, strawberries, bananas, pineapple, oranges, broccoli, cocktail weiners, apples... and sooo much more.

Well this is it till next time. Happy trails!
