A little get away

I got to go play with Sydney this last weekend. I have really missed her and loved spending time with her again, meeting new people and making more memories! I got there Friday evening we just got ready for the white out dance then hung out. We didn't end up leaving till 12 to go to the dance and being up at 6 that morning I was ready to head to bed. But Sydney wouldn't allow it so off to the party we went. It was really fun just dancing and hanging with Syd and the new friends I made. 

I had never been to a BYU game and luckily Sydney found me a ticket so that I could go with her. It was so much fun! I miss going to football games so it was really fun to go to a big one like this!



 I had heard so much about this sammy's place so of course we had to go give it a try even with the chilly weather. Nin my new friend was so sweet and bought my ice cream. They have these famous pie shakes, they take a pie and put it in the ice cream- oh boy it was pretty amazing! 

 Had to take some famous pictures by the Sammy's van
 We went over to a some friends house after and talked lots and played some games. I don't think I have laughed so hard in a really long time. Playing the haha (putting your head on someone stomach and saying ha) game, this is so much fun game and attempting to tell scary stories. It was a really fun night and again fun to meet new people. 
Then the final day of my mini trip came. We went to church and I got to listen to Sydney play beautifully for her roommate who sang. They did a great job! Then we came back and ate some food and sang some songs. Then I had to be on my way I was giving Robby a ride home and we convinced Sydney to come with us so we jammed and talked the whole way home.
 It was so much fun to spend that time with Sydney! I really have missed her and can't wait for our next adventure together! Love you Sydney- Thanks again! :)

Reaching a goal always feels great...sometimes it even tastes great

For the whole month of September Kendra and I went with NO SUGAR! It was easier than I thought it was going to be and it felt really great to be in control of myself and to reach a goal I set! So Friday September 30th we went and got some stuff to make these amazingly great cookies we were craving and what's a better way to break no sugar September than Marshmallow Mates. We stayed up till midnight and ate big  huge mixing bowls full of Marshmallow Mates. I'm surprised we weren't up all night! But it sure was AMAZING! :)




Yay for us! I'm proud of us Kendra! :)

clean, clean, clean....kinda

On September 24th we woke up early and took a little drive. We decided we wanted to have a little adventure so we stopped by this little race called The Dirty Dash. It looked like a fun thing to do in the early freezing morning. We prepared ourselves for the 6 mile run but nothing could have really prepared us for what we had before us. Pictures speak louder than words...
Before and After
 
Starting clean and ending more than dirty. It was so much fun running through mud hills, pits of dirty muddy water, a swamp, some climbing walls, running through tires and ending with a big ol' mud bath. Definitely a MUST Do again!! :)
