Well this has been an exciting month! I can't believe it's almost over! So weird! Let's start at the beginning:
My birthday.
It's only the best part of the month... Besides General Conference. Which was great. Loved it. But back to the point. For my birthday, my roommates and FHE brothers and sisters threw me a surprise party. Complete with a pinata. Do I have awesome "family" or what? I have probably the best friends out here any girl could ask for. I truly enjoyed my birthday, one of the best I've ever had this year.

You can't see it, but Bryan (FHE Dad) added the mean eyebrows to dear Dora and then we put some scissors in her hand. I guess she got tired of helping other people find their crap. (Direct quote the the lovely Miss Madi.)
Midterms came and went and I finally got my financial aid. Now I can pay all of my bills and have no more money left over. I AM accepting donations in the form of food, winter jackets (cute but warm), and money.
I just can't believe I've been twenty for two weeks! It's crazy how fast time flies when you're old! But really, I've been having a blast this month.
Last night, Madi and I decided we weren't going to stay in on a Friday night when there were parties to be partied. So, we did our make up kinda funny and headed out. We hit up a party in Hemming Village, but it was pretty lame, so we went to the cheap theater instead. Ryan met us there and we watched The Help. Awesome movie. I suggest you see it. Then we came back here and stayed up till... 3:30 vowing to wake up at 9 to get some work done... Did that happen? Not really.. More like 11 to eat some cereal and watch TV.

Today, Katie and I went with some kids from our complex to shoot guns with our bishop. All together there were 11 of us. Katie, Colten, Ryan, Nick, Ashley, Michael, Janessa, Corbin, Josh, Bishop, and me. It was so fun. We were out in the middle of nowhere Rigby for like three hours shooting at flying targets, dinosaurs/squirrels/gophers, and washing machine doors. I also think there was a bed pan out there that I managed to hit. I also managed to hit the tiny green dinosaur thing from a good 100 yards away and a flying clay pigeon. Go me! We then literally raced home. Well, partially home. On the dirt road back to the paved road, Colten, Bishop, and Nick had a contest to see who could drive the craziest. Yep. Bishop was fish tailin' everywhere, Nick almost t-boned us, and Colten was driving backwards! It was awesome! I felt like I was in an action movie! Haha.

After that, Ryan and I went for a quick run to Walmart which turned into an hour and a half run to Walmart, D.I., Walmart again, Albertson's, and then Broulims. But! I managed to get this amazing costume for Monday and also some ingredients for some delicious cookies I'm going to try and cook tomorrow. Super excited for that. Then, I wound down the night with a good movie and some good friends.
Some pretty crazy stuff has happened this month. It's been a blast and I hope the rest of the semester is as amazing as this month has been.
