Creepers, S. Bread, Twin, and Look What I Can Do!

Computers are fun.

We did a scavenger hunt for FHE this past Monday.

I won't bore you with them all, but here is one fun one.

"I can't believe we all fit in here!"

My roommates and my favorite pastime is to be creepers.

We constantly look out our windows and watch people.

While we eat dinner we just stare outside.

When it's dark outside and we want to see people we turn off the lights.

And Sara... Sara is the worst of us all.

Here Mom...

I made sausage bread last night and it was gone in no time...

especially when five boys showed up and devoured what we hadn't eaten.

Meet Dusty.

Dusty is my brother, George's, twin.

They haven't met or anything, but they are exactly alike in so many ways.

Very crazy. George, take a look at your future bestie!! 

There will be another post very, very soon.

Happy Halloween!

Best Side of BYU-I

All I have been blogging about since I have arrived at this wonderful school is all the fun I am having. There is no spiritual side to any of these posts. Sad, huh?

Well, it's basically impossible to sum up the huge amounts of spiritual experiences I have had here, the tons of things I have learned through the Spirit, how the Spirit is constantly and apparently here, so for now I'll tell one tale.

Monday I was somewhat frustrated, so I called up one of my friends so we could go on a walk or something. It turned out that he was in the Taylor Chapel reading "The Infinite Atonement."

That's it. That's my story. Here I was, frustrated and bored, wanting to be distracted and get away from my issues, rather than getting focused and trying to find some way of inviting the Spirit back into my heart.

The whole time we were walking we just talked about the Apostles, Conference, the school, missions, etc. I almost feel like a fakey. I know the stuff, but do I automatically think of the Lord when a problem comes along? Scary.

Everything here is wonderful and the Gospel is all around, but it's so easy how we lose track of the simple and most important things. The problem isn't saying my prayers or reading my scriptures or that I'm rebelling in any way, but it's not as deep as it should be. It just seems like I'm scratching the surface and doing the minimum. I'm working on it.

I hope everyone is doing well. I hope that everyone is not just grazing the surface, but delving deep. I hope everyone is remembering to be happy and know that the Lord is there.

Sugar (with a hint of fruit) Sandwiches

It has almost become tradition at night time for me to make sandwiches for everyone.

And everyone usually includes 3, if not all, of the roommates and at least 3 other people.

At first I just made PB&Nutella.

Then, I grilled them.

Then, I started experimenting.

Various ingredients used in various combos:

PB

Honey

Nutella

Applesauce

Banana Slices

Blackberry Jam

Marshmallow Cream

This wondrous creation below is the ultimate.

I'm telling you. Applesauce on a grilled sandwich is heaven. The outside is crispy while the inside is gooey. Delish. Try it!

Left: Jelly and Applesauce

Right: Nutella and Marshmallow Cream

I recommend: Jelly and Nutella sandwich

Applesauce (with cinnamon) and anything sandwich

Don't forget to grill like grilled cheese!

You must try it!!!

NightyNightBed

Our favorite person in the world to tease/prank/love is Kaylie/Marge/Francesca/Waldo. She is wonderful and happy and just amazing.

Tonight we decided that we would take her bed outside. And we did :)

Scene of the crime.

Sara hiding.

The night is dark and so is Anny, so you can't see her.

She said it. Not me.

Francesca's reaction.

Not as exciting as we were hoping for. But oh well.
