Headlines don't sell papes... Newsies sell papes!

Hi. I know I know. It has been forever. Forgive me please. A LOT has happened for sure. I don't remember when this was but, my friend Jen, Ingrid and I went to a masquerade ball... It was pretty fun. It was the first time I got to formally dress up since I never went to prom, homecoming, etc. I really enjoyed it. It was up at Sundance ski lodge and they had food and dancing. The food was kind of sick so we went to Chili's and ate there. I love Chilis' Southwestern egg rolls and skillet queso! DELICIOUS!

Ingrid and I drove to Vegas to go to Heidi, Johanne and Sarah's Baptism and it was so awesome! I have never seen Heidi so happy before. I asked her why she wanted to get baptised since she had gone through so many churches trying to figure out which one she thought was true and she was never happy with any of them. She told me that it was simply because she never felt anything with any of the other churches and she KNOWS this one is true and she had never felt the spirit that way before. It was really cool to talk to her about it since I have known her for YEARS and she never was interested or never understood. Now she is wanting to go on a mission and she cleaned up her language completely. She goes to church regularly and she wants to marry a return missionary. She loves going to the temple grounds and she loves going to church activities! It makes me SO happy to see her this happy again. It had been years. She wants someone to do her dad's temple work someday since he was never able to before he died. She is so excited to be able to see him again too! I am really pleased with her and proud of her. We went to the Dr. Phil show the morning before the baptism. It was really awesome. They said to cheer for Dr. Phil and they were handing out books for the ones cheering the best I guess and I got one... then I won a mug for shaking my thang! It was fun and Eliza, Ingrid and I were laughing at really inappropriate things. To see us on the show it is airing November 7th and it is about a little 15 year old girl who was prostituting and getting beat up by poor pimps and stuff. Dr. Phil is really funny and kind and I love him!

My mom, Jacob and Eliza drove ahead of Ingrid and I to head back up to Utah. That night we went to Tyler's play and it was pretty good. Tyler is REALLY good and he is great at staying in character even when talking to us.... It was fun to see him in that. The next day Ingrid and I got our nails done together and she hated her but mine looked pretty good. We took our moms and Eliza to lunch at the Brazilian restaurant Tucanos. It is really good, except for that really nasty lemonade that tasted like hospital toilet water with A LOT of nasty pulp in it. Then we went to Cafe Rio for dinner with a lot of our cousins and Aunts. It was a girls party so no boys were allowed! Then the next day my family left, sadly. I hate when I see them go.

For Halloween I was a Newsie! I know, PRETTY AWESOME RIGHT? I played the Newsies soundtrack all day at work. It looked cool... I also didn't want to carry newspapers around all day like they did... So I carried a messenger bag full of rolled up papers which I am sure at least ONE of them did! I went to Jana's Ward's trunk or treat and then to a few parties that were ok. There was this HUGE party that I am pretty sure everyone that lived in Provo attended but it was SO LAME! There were WAY too many people and no one was dancing to the music, that you could hardly hear by the way, and there were so many stinky people. I was personally feeling claustrophobic. So then I went home and Slept to get ready for work the next morning.

Ingrid might be moving in with me! We don't know for sure but I would love it! We don't have to drive so far to borrow each others clothes or hang out! It will be awesome if she does!

By the way it is really freezing here now in the mornings! I came to work with a long winter coat and gloves on this morning! This is not the same coat this is from the other night! I hate being freezing!

I am Registering for classes is about an hour! I am so excited about it! I can't wait! I took the compass exams already for placement and did a lot better than I thought I would! I scored into the highest English/Writing class I could, the highest Reading class that I could which was something like advanced critical thinking or something and then just the regular algebra class which is better than I thought I would on that. I thought I would go into the pre-math class to be reintroduced but I guess I am not as dumb as I thought. So I will have to post a quick blog when I get back telling you guys what classes I got in to. I am sure there is tons more I should write about but I can't think of anything else right now! Sorry. Maybe when I get back but I need to go to my appointment with my academic advisor now. See ya!
