Happy Birthday Sista!

I really hope that you are enjoying the crazy hair, matching outfits, and goofball faces in this picture.

Happy birthday to my little sis, Lyvia! I can't believe you're 15 already -- too old! Slow down! At least I have a year to get over the whole you're-in-high-school thing before the D word comes into the picture. Dating. Not that other D word. I don't even know what you're talking about. Anyway, just want to wish you the happiest 15th ever and let you know I can't wait to come home and and have you make me homemade pizza!

this is harder than it looks!

Seriously! Who knew this outfit posting business was so rough?! Today we tried to take pictures in the morning but it was literally three degrees outside and we were SO cold, and then we tried to take them after work, but Owen ended up having to stay later than the sun wanted to last. So we took them inside the trophy room area at Legends because Devynne was nice enough to take us to dinner there (more on that later!)

Some of you make snicker at my furry chapeau--but let me tell you. This baby got the job done. My ears were totally warm all day long despite the menacing weather. Now I just need to figure out some sort of face mask to get all of myself covered, and I might just be able to survive Utah for a little while longer...

Also, I totally got a sweet deal (like 52% off!) on gift certificates to The Quarry (thanks for the tip Emily!) I've never been rock climbing before, and I know it's not real rock climbing, but I am still totally excited! Find some awesome deals for yourself at this link 

Sort of a Boring Week

Sorry for the lack of posting lately, it's been a pretty crazy week. Both Owen and I had to register for classes this week, which meant we had to stay up until midnight two nights in a row. Yuck. I really like my sleep thank you very much. Plus we had snow on Monday and Tuesday (why oh why!? It is only  October! Give me back fall please!) which was just awful, especially since our landlord has failed four times now to turn on our heat. That's right. No heat + snow = fairly FREEZING home. We have been sleeping with four quilts. Hopefully (fingers crossed extra hard) they will for sure finally fix it today, and I will no longer have to wear my cozy bathrobe over all of my clothes when I am home.


Unfortunately, registering for classes makes me excited for next semester and all of the cool subjects I will be taking (physiology-finally!, advanced molecular biology, tissue biology, developmental biology, YAY!) which translates to a very large lack of studying for this semester's classes. Too bad we still have more than a month left. But it's okay! I think Owen and I are going to have a study date tonight. Lame, I know, but we both need it big time. Maybe we will order the FREE MEDIUM PIZZA that I won at the basketball game on Thursday! Yeah, that was pretty awesome. We even got to be on TV next to the big Papa John's slice of pizza guy. Anyway, sorry for the boring-ness, but I included cool pictures, so hopefully that makes up for it :) 


We're going to enter the Qualtrics costume competition at noon today, I hope we win! Wish us luck! Pictures coming soon of these super-duper awesome costumes!!!
