For Haley

Haley awarded me with the Stylish Blogger award which means I get to:

- Thank the person who gave you the award (Thanks Haley)
- Share 7 facts about yourself
- Award 7 new bloggers with the award

1.   I am lame and don't have 7 people to share this with, hence this is just for Haley cause she wants me to do it  :)

2.   I hate having to do things where I have to think of things about myself. Even though I know no one really cares I feel like I have to be very accurate and it stresses me out!

3.   I get stressed out way too easily about stuff that should not stress me out

4.   I can't think of any other facts about myself and I'm starting to get stressed out

5.   This may be the worst post of any blog ever and I may be un-nominated for this award

6.   I think my life is pretty cool and I love it, but I am terrified of graduating

7.   I am so happy that Haley and Bennett have spent so much time with us!

Sorry to disappoint, but I really was getting stressed and over-thinking cause that is what I am best at so I just wanted to get through it quick  :)


On a different note, here are some pictures of my nieces and nephews! If they look scared to death it's because they are. If you had 6 adults screaming at you trying to get your attention, wouldn't you be scared too? I think the fact they they are all looking in the same direction is quite the accomplishment, so I'm not complaining. Therefore, you shouldn't either :)

I still think they're pretty cute

Just so you know, I also told a joke today that Haley and Courtney both laughed at. That is even more of an accomplishment then these photos!

8 kids under the age of 2....









December 19, 2010


Graduation! Just know this was a dramatic day for me. I don't know how I'm going to live without Katelyn. She is soo amazing and will go on to do GREAT things.


Sara read a story that she wrote and she did so well! She will also go onto great things. I will miss her.



Our fabulous families came to help us move out. Katelyn's mom was soo good to help us with our clean check as well. We could not have done it without her.


We hadn't eaten all day and the only food we had left to eat was tortillas, cream cheese and some cheese sauce stuff. Good nutritious meal.

I had to deliver thank you notes to our bishopric. After getting a flat tire, changing cars and almost running off the road we made it safely to Brother Kerbs house. We dropped the note off, went to back out of their driveway, and ended up off the road, high-centered and stuck.



All we had to dig us out with was an ax and a hammer.


Will became the new driver and Sister Kerbs came out to help.


After about 20min Brother Kerbs came and pulled us out.


We ended up staying and talking with them for quite some time. I love Brother and Sister Kerbs! We left all the thank you notes with them to deliver and we went back to Rexburg.



We went back to Matt and Wills for hot chocolate.

Prank War!


Two summers ago my apartment, 207, got in a HUGE prank war with our FHE brothers, lovingly referred to as #9. Our FHE group at that time made up half of ward counsel (literally, we counted) and updates on our prank war were included in the minutes each week. It got pretty intense and only ended when the police got involved and our managers told us we had to stop.



One of the pranks that #9 pulled on us was covering our whole apartment in little hole punches. We couldn't even see the floor! It was soo cool and we had a great time playing in it before cleaning up.



Because we are so clever,  we saved a good number of them before vacuuming the last bit (which was quite a bit and took forever because we had spread them everywhere playing in them, including outside. We were literally finding them for semesters after) These dots have been sitting in the back of my car for over a year and a half waiting for the opportune moment. 



Well, Katelyn graduated this semester so we decided we had to use the dots before she left. We joined forces with 105 (most have lived in 207 at one time or another and are the current FHE sisters to #9) got the boys out of their apartment, put on our "war paint" and headed over to get revenge. We noticed that their apartment was clean which is very unusual, and gathered that it was clean checks, but we couldn't be stopped.








Unfortunately, our pranking skills have somewhat diminished. Katelyn and I felt bad and went over to help them clean up. 






They decided to go swimming while we (more Katelyn) cleaned their apartment. The "prank" from their perspective: go get ice cream, come home to find their apartment a mess, Allison and Katelyn come over to clean up, go swimming, come home to an apartment that is 98% clean. Not much of a prank, but it was still a fun night!

This is me watching Katelyn clean


Katelyn, Dan and I are the only ones left of the original #9 and 207
