Okay, I know it's only October, but seriously, we play Christmas music nonstop here and there has already been SNOW! The fall has been really nice and it's not even supposed to snow for the next week at least. That couple days of snow at the beginning of the month was a weird fluke. Anywaysss...these last couple of weeks have been super fun and full of midterms! Gross. BUT It's also included Guitars Unplugged, a dance, McDonalds, the gas station, Psych, Skypeing with Alex, letters, and running into fellow BALD students. It's pretty crazy.
I am SO excited because Tori and Chelsea get to come here and visit me in TWO weeks! I. Can't. Wait. Blake and I going to rent a car and go pick them up from IF and then they get to spend the long weekend living like I do! :)
I'm not sure when this is going to happen, but I'm pretty sure this apartment is going to drive to Star Valley, and chop down a Christmas tree! I am so excited for Christmas and I don't even know why! It might be all the new Justin Bieber Christmas songs, but who knows.
Ok I gotta go get ready to run a 5K at midnight. Happy late birthday, Abby and happy birthday, Grandma! :)

Idaho Falls = Panda Express
General Conference was the best! I loved all the talks (that I heard) and I've never seen facial expressions better than President Monson's. We laughed over that. A lot. While watching GC, we saw a commercial in between sessions for Dieter F. Uchtdorf's book: Your Happily Ever After. I got SO excited! That is my favorite talk of all time! We knew we'd have to go to Idaho Falls and pay a visit to Barnes & Noble. :)
Friday was by far the hardest day of the week. From 3:15 to 5:15, I have a Chemistry lab. Sometimes we don't always get along with our lab partners...
BUT I felt much better by Saturday. We woke up, made french toast, scrambled eggs, bacon, and hash browns for breakfast, got ready, and drove to Idaho Falls to run some errands and spend a while in Barnes & Noble to get President Uchtdorf's book. Which, by the way, is one of the best purchases I have ever made! The cashier that checked me out was a girl that obviously was not a member of the church but super nice. She saw what I was buying and asked me what it was. When I told her what it was about and that it was actually a talk that was given and that it is MY FAVORITE, she got so excited and wrote down the title and author. She told me how she had just come out of a bad five year relationship with someone that had no religion in his life and that she was looking for something Christian. She said "Is it like, a God thing?" "Umm yes. And I promise it's worth reading." :) I left feeling good. Maybe it's true when people say that Idaho and Utah missions really are the most successful. Anywaysss, Hanna and I got Panda Express for lunch since I haven't had it in MONTHS and I LOVE it! We took it to Cafe Rio where everyone else ate. Our last stop in IF was SUPER WALMART! We got a few movies to watch when we got home. One of them was Singles 2nd Ward. All I have to say is: I have a brand new appreciation for those movies actually being in a singles ward. It was great. :)

Applebees
I LOVE Applebees, I think I'm the only person in my family that does so I sad when it went out of business at home. BUT I was so excited when I learned that there was one HERE! :) And that the roommates like it as much as I do. Last night we went to Applebees and waited 3966394739 hours for a table. But it was so worth it! Then we came home and watch 4 hours of Criminal Minds, fell asleep out in the living room, woke up in the middle of the night, and went to bed. I love Fridays. :)
This morning we watch the first session of General Conference and how cool was it that they announced FIVE new temples!? Especially that the Provo temple is being used so much that they need another one!? I think it is so amazing that it's being built on the grounds of the old tabernacle There isn't a spot more perfect. I think Paris is going to be gorgeous and STAR VALLEY, WYOMING! I've never seen President Monson make a better face than he did when he announced that one. We almost went there this weekend to spend conference at Hanna's cabin. I can't wait to see all these temples and how pretty they're going to be.
I'm leaving in a few minutes to spend the rest of today and tomorrow at Annie's. Enjoy your conference weekend... :)
