Happy Thanksgiving!

Well folks, it's the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Here I am, at Seatac, waiting for a flight to take off. After I sat down, my friend Jordan (from my byu ward) walked up to me and sat down. We're on the same flight home! Theeeen... Jessica Ranck & her brother Brenton walked by and sat down near me too. THere are like 20 gajillion other people around us that are from BYU, it's pretty much a BYU part at gate B10. This should be a lovely wait, as I drink my Coke and eat my Almond Roca (YUUUUM!).

I had a most excellent Thanksgiving at Paul & Jeanne's. I ate a lot of food, and it all tasted soooo good! The kids were adorable! I got to see Bryan twice. And I stayed up with Paul & Jeanne often. We saw The Bee Movie (hilarious!!!), I went to the U-District with some friends, we attempted to attack raccoons, and went in the hottub. Jen took me out to dinner last night, and came over and played games with us. Paul drove me past the house, it was weird.

It was a fantastic trip, I enjoyed being home again.

And to think, in a month, I'll be chillin in a different airport, headed somewhere else, to another one of my three homes!

My Birthday!

Here are some pics from last Sunday (aka... my birthday) At midnight, the roommates bursted into my room to sing to me, then they proceeded to jump onto my bed where we all posed for the camera. I really like that Sarah took it in black & white!
The whole family at dinner... well, except that Sarah was taking the picutre. She basically was the official photographer, she captured alot of good things. We're such a fun family! Garsh! We had lasagna, garlic bread, cesear salad, and ummmm, fruit salad!
We had two cakes, one that Troy made and one that Jenny made. The above pic is me smashing my face into my large slice of Troy's cake. Yep... I may have turned 19, but I didn't act like it!
I can't figure out how to make this picture turn, so you can turn your head to check this one out.... This was Jenny's cake. An amazing chocolate cake with a melted Symphony bar on top. I'm pretending to blow the candles out, since we can't light candles in the dorms. It was fantastic.

It was a good day, I was pretty excited. I got some way cool things from my FHE bros... some VHS's from DI.. The Backstreet Boys & Bob the Builder. And... some way cool children's books. Gosh I love those boys! The girls got me a picture frame that was engraved with "You Are Loved" referring to the Josh Groban song, which just happens to be our apartment's theme song. And they bought me fudge. I basically love them to death!

Happy Birthday to ME!

Corn

I used to eat a box of Pasta Roni every day. I haven't eaten that much Pasta Roni this week. I have moved onto canned corn. This is one of my favorite things to eat. My roommates make fun of me when I plug in the can opener and grab some corn, and then as I proceed to eat straight out of the can they make fun of me some more. It's great.


This is the can I ate today. It was pretty much amazing.

Halloween... 215 style

Regular readers of my blog may recall my cry for help from September. Pranks were needed. Well, tonight, our master prank was executed, absolutely incredible. We called ourselves Newspaper Ninjas. The prank... newspapering the hallway of the boys in 205, aka... the other half of The Clark Family.

We each chose war poses. Randomly throughout the night someone would yell "POSE" and you'd drop your newspaper to do your pose. This was our practice shot. We had to pick our pose before we got there. Left to Right we've got Christie, Anna (our 7th roommate), Me, Kelli. Jenny was our lookout, she was in a prom dress and she took the picture. Allison was gone with her Uncle, and Sarah... just wasn't home.
We waited near some bushes until we got the okay phone call from Nickolai, who checked out 205 to make sure nobody was home. While we waited, we took some pretty sweet shots, of us pretending to pull an Ocean's 11. We basically looked hecka tight. Unfortunately, Brendan, our accomplice, did not do a very good job at being our accomplice. Chris came in while we were newspapering the hallway. However, he was amused more than anything, and we convinced him to take some pictures of us. Here we are, halfway between the last two doors, so more than halfway done. Yeah, this took 1 1/2 hours to do, holy cow!We needed a picture of the end product. Here is Kelli, our head newspaper gatherer, with the lovely stacks. You can tell, it's just about as tall as her in tha tpart. Other parts of the hallway were filled even higher.
We were almost finished when one of the boys called to tell me he was on his way home, I kindly asked him to come over to our place because I wanted to talk to him... so I left the scene of the crime and went to hold him hostage. As soon as the girls finished they came back, and we all left together for the "crazy" dance party happening in our boys lobby. As we walked past the back door, we saw another one of the boys going in... We were very lucky, we barely made it.
In conclusion, we had a VERY Happy Halloween. We're kind of afraid of what they might do back to us, it could turn out very... not good. But hey, we started this war knowing that they would get us back!
