Oregon Trip

We started our trip by loading up the motor home in Brigham City. When we were about 20 minutes out of Tremonton, a tire blew! Ben brought all the tools he had so we thought we would be able to change it. Unfortunately we didn't have the right size of tools for the lug nuts. We called the police to see if anyone could come help us, we told them what tools we had and what we needed. When they finally got there they ended up bringing the wrong tools! So Dallin called a friend and he went and bought tools and drove out to help us. Well we got hungry waiting so we cooked ourselves some hotdogs :) Sadly he didn't bring the right size either! Dallin and his friend went back to Tremonton to see if they could find some tools, while they were gone this nice guy driving by saw that we may need some help so he stopped and helped us change it! We were very lucky because everything was closed  in Tremonton!! 

We made it to Boise LATE that night, and the next morning Ben bought two new tires for the motor home, and we were on our way again! It was a LONG drive but we were in good company and  there were beds...so I got to sleep :)  As we got further into Oregon we saw these beautiful clouds and drove through them, I absolutely loved it!

We realized there was a Blazers game the night we were driving through Portland, so we decided to buy tickets! It was a really fun and loud game! 

Most of the way to Oregon we had motor home troubles, so when we made it to Eugene we parked outside O'Reilly and slept there so we could buy tools in the morning. Ben and Brady did a wonderful job fixing up the motor home

We parked the motor home to do some Tailgating. We decided to go up to the school first to buy new sweatshirts. Luckily we saw a taxi dropping someone off so we took the taxi up to campus. ( so glad we did this or else we wouldn't have made it back in time to eat!) I think the taxi driver should be the weather man, he told us what the weather was going to be like the rest of the day and he was exactly right! It rained the entire time we were walking around campus, by the time we made it back to the motor home ALL my clothes were SOAKED.

We did our own kind of Tailgating inside the motor home with the heater on and cooking hot dogs :) There was a pep rally kind of thing before the game where the cheerleaders danced and cheered and there was food and all sorts of fun stuff. We even made customized Oregon sunglasses :)

We stopped at this small hometown restaurant that was delicious! Dallin ate this HUGE 1 pound burger, I think his eyes were bigger than his stomach but he did eat it all!

Sick

Sorry I haven't posted lately. We have been busy with Thanksgiving, the next weekend we went to Parma for my Grandma's Surprise Birthday and this last weekend I was sick!! I know the worst time for me to get sick right?! I would say so. Thankfully I have a wonderful husband who came home after a very long day and took care of me :) I am a pretty lucky girl! He even rented movies that I have been wanting to see...The Odd Life of Timothy Green, which I really enjoyed :)

Well this week we are busy with finals...well mostly Dallin is busy with finals and I am just working haha but we are so excited for this week to be over, because this semester will be over and we will get to see these wonderful people

Can I just say that I am excited its snowing outside!! I LOVE white Christmases <3 Have a good week and good luck if you are taking finals!!

Girls Night

This past weekend Dallin went to Vegas for a lacrosse tournament and sadly I could not go with him. So what does that mean?! GIRLS NIGHT!! Friday night my friends came over for the ultimate girls night, we did face masks, ate junk food, talked, did our nails and watched some movies. It was so much fun! I am so glad they came over to keep me company because I hate staying alone haha

Saturday was a relaxing day, I just sat around, did some homework and found 5 cute patterns for some sewing projects!! Then I went to the Aggies Basketball game which was a blast! I LOVE going to basketball games!! I think my love for watching/going to basketball games came from my Dad :) He use to take us to the BSU Basketball games.

Have you ever felt like you need another weekend to recover from your weekend? I sure did after this one!


But I am glad to say that my husband is back and we are working hard in school so we can have a fun weekend in Oregon!! I seriously can't wait and I know he is pretty excited himself! I am just hoping that the weather isn't too cold or else I will definitely need hot chocolate ALL day Saturday to keep me warm and happy! Hope you all have a wonderful week and are excited for Thanksgiving next week! I know I am!!

Birthday Boy

Happy Birthday to the Husband!!

 I don't know what I would do without him, he is so loving, kind, gentle,

 fun, goofy, sweet, understanding, handsome, 

crazy and the list goes on!

I love this boy to death and I am so glad he is mine!

We are celebrating by going on a road trip to see Oregon play Stanford next weekend!!

We are VERY excited to go!!

this is when he went last year (he loves Oregon)

Happy Birthday Love!

Sproutflix

Yesterday in one of my classes my professor showed me a website called Sproutflix. Sproutflix is a  list of carefully selected films of artistry and intellect specifically related to the lives, performances and accomplishments of people with developmental disabilities. Go to THIS page and watch the video on the page called One Question. It is a really touching video...seriously made me tear up. 

Hope you all had a great Halloween!!!

Pumpkin Carving

A few weekends ago we went to Layton to hang out with Dallin's family. Saturday we got to go to a pumpkin patch which was so fun and REALLY dusty! don't ask me why I chose to wear ALL black, obviously I wasn't thinking!

 Alissa's family joined us, aren't these two girls just adorable?!

 Sunday we carved the pumpkins we picked out :)

I think I go through phases and Dallin has the perfect faces for them... first: excited, second: ready to start, third: ready to be done haha

Even the girls carved/painted their pumpkins :)

Robin digging out the pumpkin guts...not my favorite part so Dallin did it for me :) what a nice husband! And this is the pumpkin she carved without a template, I think it turned out great!!

I bet you can guess which two are Dallin's and which one is mine :) yes mine is the less scary and very simple one!

Happy Halloween everyone!! Have fun trick or treating!!
