He did it!

Everyone- the wonderful, talented Joseph Draschil has indeed granted my wish. For he can do anything on an apple computer because they are the best. I would like to thank him for his limitless effort in helping me establish a proper picture on this blog. Thank you Joseph- I have caught the disease.

We Made it!

This weekend Joseph and I went down to New Mexico with Provo High and Dixon kids. 49 to be exact. We took a bus for 11 hours and stayed at the Double Tree Hotel and had just a wonderful time (besides the fact that we were sick and got little to no sleep because we were in the hallways yelling at kids to stay in their rooms, threatening them with blackmail pictures we took at the dance!) While we were there I couldn't help but notice how bad our world has gotten, and how much worse it will be when our kids get here...Sad.
We went to workshops on leadership, ate out a lot, went to a dance, and came home. Fast weekend, but fun!
While we were down there I couldn't help but think of Delane and her telling us about the drunk Indians that would just walk down the street all the time - it really is true - we saw people walking all over the place....I don't know if they were drunk, I didn't smell their breath but they were on every road we went on.
We are so excited about seeing everyone Tuesday!!

Me and anna have fun with moms new app "photo booth" lol anna can never stop laughing long enough to get a good pic!

ok so i dont know about any one else but USUALLY when taking the ACT ppl improve?? dont they? well in this family nothing is normal...i.e. salt instead of sugar in cookies, we like our brother IN-LAW better then our sister, the word "dank" vs. "dyke" must i go on?? but in the mean time i have put my mark on the family legacy with a 20 on the ACT the 2nd time i took it whne the first time i got a 24! GAY! i guess that no matter how far mel and afton live from you they still rub off! joseph is looking at this thinking " they can go that low on the ACT?? i just thought a 33 was normal?"

Yo Yo Yo

sorry about the name but i tried for like a million years to get one that worked but uh yeah that was the only one i could think of. lol this is one of the pix that was shown at our end of the year dinner (i dont know how to spell ban-quit)

This was a way fun date that i went on! These are all the "brown house boys". They go on huge group dates and take different girls each time. They made us dinner, then we had a dance party And then went to this gym and played for hours... it was awsesome! What wasn't awesome was that I wanted my dates roommate... oh well! My dates name is Brett - he's was tite (see how I used that word dad) and we're totally chill friends now. The reason we are just friends is because we both like to be the center of attention - let me tell you that was very interesting during the dance party! :) jk.... anyway - dating life in provo! And Brett - great idea for a group date for future reference.

I have a new computer

Joseph is helping me with this. I will get it soon.

BYU Football Games

This is Carissa and I at the BYU night game. It was a blast - this was the night I juggled 3 guys - hopping from one end of the stadium to the other... and none of them found out. Snap I'm good!

Halloween...Japanese Style

It was a good Halloween. I haven't celebrated it in years. All of us roomies dressed up as Japanese women. It was fun being Japanese for a night. My old FHE brother was a RS center piece, so I included a picture of that as well. I laughed.

My Pretty House

While Joseph and Dad were partying in Dallas without me, I decided to do Trading Spaces on my house. So now hopefully Mom will stop freaking out.

If you click on this link, I have included some before pictures for those of you who are not so lucky to have come to our small, low-ceiling, grandma-smelling house. But now it looks better...and a little more Melinda-ish (minus the pink).

Afton and Joseph's sister, Amber, were the free hired help. It's amazing what those two will do for a pizza. This picture is of Joseph when he first saw the newly remodeled place.
