proceed with caution.

sorry these pictures are all in backward order but stupid blogger always does this to me. and I never remember that until after I upload all the pictures, so I apologize. Anyways, school has been ridiculous lately. I've had an extremely stressful week. I've been sick and I went home for a wedding and it's just been all around crazy. Plus my halloween party is on Saturday so trying to get ready for that hasn't even happened yet because I just haven't had the time. But here's some pictures from recent adventures. I'll post more later. We went camping over Labor Day weekend and it was soo much fun! Kara came up and it was awesome to get to see her again! I've also been on a crazy baking kick lately--don't ask me why because I really don't have an answer for you. There's some pictures of just one of my latest inventions, I'll try to take more this weekend of our party and preparations. I went to an amazing fireside last week while I was home about President Hinckley with tons of pictures. It was crazy to see him like that again but I love him so much and I just cried like the whole time. I'm a wuss I know but I'm just not very good at controlling my emotions, especially when they're so overwhelming like that. haha (Can't wait to see what happens when I'm pregnant right?! :) This Sunday is stake conference and it's in the Spectrum. Eyring and Ballard are both coming up for it and I am soo excited! I'm sure it will be absolutely fantastic. I'll definitely write about that next week!

only in Utah would this be sign-worthy.

Texas Roadhouse for Becca's birthday

cupcakes

Of course I only have one little 6cup muffin tin so I had to make a cake

with the rest of the batter.

This begins our hiking adventures. My friend and I went up to the windcaves one Sunday afternoon.

We have to try to get in as much as we can while it's still semi-warm.

This is MY "biggy-rock hiding place." :)

Probably the scariest thing of my life. I've noticed as I've gotten older I am absolutely terrified of pretty much everything. When I was little nothing mattered, I didn't care how fast or how high or how crazy anything was, but unfortunately now just thinking about some things makes me feel like throwing up.

the awesome rope swing into the FREEZING cold river.

This was Kara's attempt at making popcorn over a fire...not her brightest idea. :)

Laying in the middle of the road at midnight looking at the stars. Surprisingly there were still tons of cars heading through the canyon this late, but we were able to get one picture between having to run back and forth.

apparently it only sent half of my post...kinda weird

but here's the rest so it all makes a little more sense :)

Surprise surprise you broke up with a girl and she went on a date with someone else. Well duh! I have no sympathy for someone who doesn't realize that 2 people no longer dating means they can see other people if they want to. No need to be read about it, but honestly come on now. That's my rant for the day. Other than that, this week is just absolutely horrendous. Thursday I have a Calc quiz, which ok maybe might not be QUITE so bad alone, if it weren't followed by this schedule on Friday:

930am Accounting Exam

1030am Business Law Exam

1130am Calc Exam (yes, the day after the quiz. I know, genius right?!)

1230pm Stats Excel Project due AND Stats Quiz

130pm MIS Excel project due

Umm, really? Did you all get together thinking it would be just a great big laugh seeing me in absolute misery for the next few days?! Not only that, but I don't even know where to BEGIN to study for these, let alone how or what. A break might be nice occasionally, and if this is a significant example of how the rest of my semester is going to look, count me out. Because believe me, there'd be no point in me even bothering with it. Now, aside from that, for those of you who haven't heard yet, my sister did have her baby girl on Saturday (the 12th). Her name is Addison Lily and (gasp!) she has dark hair this time! She is beautiful and I'm just incredibly sad that I don't get to see her until the blessing November 8. She'll already be 2 months old by then! :( Well, better late than never. As for this coming weekend, there are no plans because I doubt I will actually survive to see it. Call me pessimistic, but there's only so much one person can do. That being said, I guess I should really be starting my feeble attempt at studying. Wish me luck.

because I'm sure you all want to know

so yes, I will tell you. First off let me just say how ridiculous some people are...as in guys...as in they NEVER grow up. Now I know what you're going to say, I probably should have realized this multiple times by now. And the truth is, that I have. However, it has come to my closer attnetion as of late that it is only getting worse. Why must people act like complete babies about their "personal situations" when they are the ones that put themselves there?!
