This is Halloween Oct 26-Nov 1

It was a fun week!

Monday we had a combined Halloween FHE. I had each group leader come up with a halloween carnival game. We bought pies and had a costume contest. One group person made a whole bunch of homemade treats and..... Hot drink!! It was a little taste of home :)

Tuesday was a pretty relaxed day. I went to classes and worked the dinning hall and just relaxed. I spent time with some friends and life is just good!


Wednesday was crazy as always. I had a wonderful institute class on the history of Relief Society. Acting and choir were fun, and spanish we watched a movie! It was such a pretty day and we haven't had the best fall colors this year, but I still love Virginia!

Thursday was such a weird and funny day in Art History. She had us walk around campus and draw and write down all the greek and roman architecture we saw. Now, my campus is super super small so this activity should last like 15 minutes right? Well she basically gave us a full hour. It was a little ridiculous but fun. It was nice outside! After that I went to Lunch and then hung out doing homework. Spanish we just finished up the movie.  I had a weird thing happen on my way to Spanish tutoring that night though. I forgot where I parked my car and as I was circling back in the parking lot, I tripped on this root or rock or something and completely tore my shoe!!! It was not my finest moment.



Friday was a sad day. Cross Country went out of town for their final race. I love the people on cross country and I missed then a whole heck of a lot!!!! So I was miserable ;). I also was starting to get sick so I full on just slept from 2:30-4:45. It was the best. I went to dinner and then that night we had a movie night on the second floor lobby. We watched The Sixth Sense and HalloweenTown High. It was a lot of fun!

Saturday I went on a little adventure with Catherine to see if she could rent a car to go home so her, Genny, and Alex could go meet their new baby brother! But it didn't end up working out. I came back and then FaceTimed Stephanie, who was here last year, for almost 3 hours! It was super fun! I ate some food and then had a quick RA meeting. I then was kind of dragged to the Halloween Dance. I still wasn't feeling 100% but I was doing pretty good. We made a quick makeshift costume and I was a fairy. Emma was Sadness from Inside Out, but what you have to understand is that she IS sadness. Its hilarious! All the mannerisms and way of talking are the same. Its great.
This was the skirt I wore to be a fairy!

 I love this picture :)

Sunday was also awesome! I had ward council and then sat and talked to one of my girls. Church was good and we had a great Relief Society lesson about making anywhere home and how to keep Satan out of that home. It was really up lifting. Then John John and I went for a drive to go see the end of the leaves on the parkway. Again, they just haven't been the best this year. I had dinner and then spent the majority of my night in Reva and Cody's room. I left and went on a walk with Jared and said hi to my girl Jordan who was out of town for the weekend. Once I left their apartment I went up to my room and Kaylee and I sat in the hallway for a while and I checked on another room and finally got to bed.

It was a just a good week! Life is great! It was an interesting month of October full of fun, and sadness, and trials and lots of blessings! God works in mysterious ways but his plan is always the best.


I also got a letter from Alley! It made my day!
