Halloween Dance.

 
Brady, Baylee, Kena and I went to our school's Halloween dance yesterday and we had a blast. I haven't ever been to a stag dance at our school, and never thought it would be that fun!
 
Baylee and and I dressed up as fairies and Brady and Kena were Nerds. Like the candy, but nerds too. I don't know, it was cute(:
 
The dance was super dark with fog machines, black lights, and colored beam light everywhere. It looked way cool. I have never danced so hard in my life. I love my best friends! So glad we went! Memories were made that I'll never forget. (:
 















 
On another bright note - I took the ACT for my fourth and final time yesterday. Done forever. Finally. Let's hope fouth time's the charm.

Family Pictures.

My mom wanted me to take our family pictures this year since it's been awhile since our last ones. It was fine for me to take them of others, but when it came to the ones of me too.... They struggled a little. It's really hard to take a photo that you're in too. But I tried.
So if I'm the picture, judge kindly.

Spent hours editing them and they're finally done. I think most of them turned out pretty good!
Click on one and you will be able to scroll though them better and see them more clearly. (:


















UEA.

UEA is incredibly looked forward to since it's the first real break after school starts. This year it was literally fantastic.
 
Thursday - Shopping and chick flicks with Bay
Friday - Dinner and a concert in SLC with Brayden and his family, and then corn mazes
Saturday - Pictures with my best friends, can't wait to see how they turned out!
Sunday - Took family pictures... More on that later
Basically this weekend was perfect. It was so nice to forget about all the stress of school for a while and just have fun again. I felt like I was trying to shove an entire summer's worth of fun into three days, but it was worth it. I love keeping busy and making memories. ♥
 
Back to school again, but first term's going to be over next week.
 
Also it snowed today. And I will never be able to express just how much I hated it.

Welcome Fall.

Although I'm much more of a summer girl, there's a lot of good things about autumn. One of which is the beautiful colors, especially up in the mountains.

Brayden and I went up to Snow Basin to listen to the Sunday morning session of conference. While we were there I got the chance to take some really pretty pictures! It was incredible.





















 
I am so in love with how vivid and bright the colors are. Seriously, just beautiful.
 
Afterwards we went to his grandma's house for the second session and then had dinner and watched some home videos. They were the best. (: It was one of the most perfect days I've had in a while. So happy.
 
Just what I needed after the Saturday session of conference. It was announced that the minimum age requirement to serve a mission has changed. Boys can now go at 18 and girls at 19. This was bittersweet news for me because it means Brayden's leaving in 9 months instead of the 21 months I thought we still had together. It'll be hard to see him go. However, I am very happy with his decision to serve a mission and I know he's going to be an incredible missionary. I'm really proud of him. But I am going to definitely make the best of these next 9 months. Crazy news, that's for sure.
