I absolutely love this quote and thought I should share it :) Its pretty much perfect for me!
Happy Friday :)

To quote a movie who also quotes a song...
"I wish life were like a retro pop song. 'I want you to want me' Boom, end of story. We all live happily ever after. But its never really like that is it."

TRUTH.






the end... :]

Halloween!!

So this year for Halloween, I was Meg from Hercules. Probably by far, my favorite costume I have ever done. :) I may have accidentally made it a habit to quote her regularly now. :) 

 FIRST full rooomate picture... Blogging world, meet my other roommate, Alyssa :) haha

 Biker Chick, Belle and Meg :)

 And this... welll. GROSS. We were doorbell ditched with a green pumpkin and I got to be the lucky one to open it... Lots of candy and it starts moving. Yes.. a rat. Well hello there discusting hairless rodant. I may have screamed multiple times....

And yes... to top it off, we were in the process of doing face masks when the door bell was rung. 

Overall... An amazing Halloween! Even with the rat!

[side not: carved my first pumpkin! why is there not a picture? well... it didn't look too great...]

Random Happenings at BYU

So instead of making a bunch of blog posts to catch up, I'm combining basically a few of my pictures and calling it good. Geeze.. I sound like a student turning in a paper or something.... Oh well :)

 Always gotta make time for the Thatcher boys and the Malt Shoppe :)

 Things seem to get crazy when I put my apron on. And when this girl is around :)

 Double Date?? First haunted corn maze [haunted anything for that matter] ever!

 Supporting the Cougars of course!

 Gotta make time with the Sista! Love her :)

 Apron and Guitar??? Probably was a bit scary!

 I love meeting random boys and taking pictures holding hands with them. Totally normal right??

Just checkin to see if mister Joseph Taylor Beowulf Stevens still has muscles of course!

General Conference :)

And how long ago was that?? GEEZE Jennifer... You stink at blogging on time. I apologize for the few followers I have :)

So for general conference this year, we were a little adventurous.. kinda. We went and stayed with a huge group of people at a friends house in Salt Lake. It was a ton of fun! We even got tickets by begging and ended up with plenty of tickets to spare! It was really fun and it was my first time actually being able to go to conference. I did love the experience but I think I love watching it from the comfort of my own home with the presence of my lovely family :) I loved the talks that were given. My favorite talk was probably actually in the Relief Society Broadcast. President Uchtdorf gave a talk on "Forget me nots". He gave us five things to never forget...

Forget not....

1. to be patient with yourself

2. the difference between a foolish sacrifice and a good sacrifice

3. to be happy NOW.

4. the why of the gospel.

5. that the Lord loves you!

I absolutely loved this talk and it really helped me a lot with my life circumstances right now. I have never been able to say that a talk was written and spoken just for me until now. I found a little picture of these phrases from the talk.. It may or may not be my computer background :)

So here are some pictures from this amazing week...

 Kelsey (my roommate), Natalie (my bff), and Me at the Conference Center :)

 The group of newly made friends :) 

[on a side note... loved watching a whole disk of modern family with the girls while the guys were at priesthood session!]

 The mandatory pyramid before a sleepover picture. 

 The its getting really late lets take pictures with bracelets part of the sleepover :)

It isn't a true sleepover until the pillow fight begins :)

and the girls in the next room tell you to be quiet.... hehe :)

That was my general conference weekend! Sorry it was a good month late!
