my filling in the gaps

Recently I've had a lot of people ask "what do you like to do?" A question that I find absolutely ridiculous. I never know what to say. Ever. And then I just feel awkward. Obviously I like to do things...but I just really like to do everything. So I guess here is a bunch of the stuff that I haven't blogged about this semester, stretching back to the beginning and filling in some of the gaps that I have left. I suppose you could say that this is the stuff that I "like to do"...

Reuniting with my friends was glorious and a half. Can you believe that I was lucky enough to find this huge group of perfect girls to be friends with my freshmen year and we have all stayed together? Neither can I.

 Naturally with a group of friends this big, there is always something to be celebrated. Like one of your friends birthdays (Anna's birthday dinner above) or the marriage of one of your cute friends (remember I blogged about that one. Picture from Gretchen's bridal shower below).

 Of course going to BYU games is always a must. Gotta support the team. Eh?

And once it's fall, you have to participate in classic fall traditions like the corn maze....

 And driving up the canyon on the Alpine Loop to experience all the incredible fall colors (since fall only lasts for like 3 weeks when you are in Utah).

For one night we even kicked it back to the Freshmen year dance party days. Mostly so we could see Neon Trees play for free. I mean, wouldn't you go?

This is what happens when you start a tradition of doing a massive group blind date. It explodes into the most biggest group date you have ever seen. At this point I think it's actually just a party with even numbers... but hey it was fun.

And, most recently. Me, Hil, and a couple friends went to see Starf'er in concert (I apologize for their odd name, but there music is clean, chill, and fun. I promise). This concert was actually unreal fun. Way good live. 

Well, those are a few of the gaps that I have left this semester when blogging. I suppose now you know what I like to do. And perhaps I have a better idea now too...

peace. love. and junior year.

my parents come to provo

Some weekends are better than others, and this was a real good one.
To start out with, it was 1000 times less stressful than last weekend, since I have a little break between writing papers, taking tests, and writing more papers (#englishmajorprobles).
It was also the weekend of the semiannual massive group blind date. It's kind of like Secret Santa, in that a bunch of girls draw names, but instead of presents we get each other boys. Fun times. I recommend that all girls do this. Perfect way to meet new people.
I also went to some fun parties, but besides all that the absolute best part of this weekend?? My wonderful parents were here. I have the most awesome parents ever. I really do. Thanks to them my fridge is now filled with left overs for the week ahead, and my heart filled with happiness. My mum seems to be under the impression that I don't miss them when I am out at school, but she is a nut for thinking that. But, hey they'll forget they even have a third child when Baby K comes along in December, so please try not to be too worried about my parents and their empty nest.

as a side note...
I actually find it impossible to believe that this semester is halfway over.

Also, my birthday is in less than a month. commence thinking of fabulous ways to spoil me.

peace. love. and parents.
