thanksgiving is such a wonderful holiday. i love getting together with some of the family, and stuffing your bellies full of turkey and pie. this year i went to my grandma and grandpa johnsons for the holiday and it was such a fun time to hang out with some of the uncles and aunts and cousins. we ate tons and tons of food and played phase ten for hours. (which i happened to win!!) and then at midnight i met up with shan and we went to black friday at south town mall. i am still trying to decide if it was worth it, even though i got some awesome deals. the lines were just killer. we got home about six in the morning. next year we aren't going to go right at midnight, the lines are too long until about four in the morning. but it was fun to spend time with shan and buy a few gifts for friends and for myself :) but this thanksgiving i was thinking about what i am grateful for and here is some of the things i came up with...
*my wonderful family
*my friends who are always there for me when i need a shoulder to cry on or someone to laugh with
*power (our power went out for about 18 hours right before the dreaded blizzard, and our house was FREEZING!!)
*the gospel
*my job
*the education i am receiving
*the miracle of forgiveness :)
i know there are many many things i am leaving out of that far too short list, but i hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving!

blowout
yesterday was the blackout game, tcu against utah. i expected it to be a very intense game and so did everyone else in the country. this game was chosen for gameday by espn. i was sooo stoked to go and cheer my utes on. well all my hope went down the drain in about ten minutes when tcu scored 3 touchdowns in the first quarter and utah didn't even come close to scoring. the game ended 47 to 7.. it was sad. the team played so horribly yesterday i dont think they came ready to play against a top ranked team... it was the first time i witnessed the utes lose at home! but oh well.. there is a first for everything. hope the next 3 games go alot better then yesterdays did! GO UTES!
davis, and his friend ben and i at the game!

BOO!
i must say i probably had the best halloween of my life this year. my roomies and i celebrated it 2 weekends and it was great! the first weekend there was a crimson nights at the U so we got all ready and went to that together. i needed to go to blue boutique to find some fake eye lashes for our costume party the next night so alex tagged along with me. there we found some awesome non-prescription colored contacts and together we decided that these would be awesome to wear tonight at crimson. so alex bought 4 pairs; one for each of us.
it only took me an hour and a half to get the dang things in my eyes... but once i did i looked SOO creepy. and i loved it
the next night alex got us all tickets to go to a westminster dance party. it was a costume party so we all got real dressed up and went and danced the night away. it was a blast! i cant remember the last time i danced and danced and never stopped until the night ended. there were so many fabulous costumes to look and laugh at and i must say my roomies and i did a good job of dressing up as well. kd, calli, and alli were chip n dale dancers. alex was a cat/mouse..? and i was lady gaga!
the next weekend on friday night we went on a big group date. we went to a haunted corn maze. definitely not very scary but still entertaining..
and lastly HALLOWEEN EVE! since halloween was on a sunday this year all the parties were on saturday. not one of us had a costume planned out until last minute. we rushed around trying to find different costumes at different stores and alex finally says lets go to my parents and look! so we did, and thats where we had the most success. after we were back we got ready and stayed home while we got lots of cute, little trick or treaters. that night we stopped by sigma chi, then went to a party at some loft downtown for about 5 minutes. we then went to our friends house and stayed there for the majority of our night. it was good to see lots of old friends that i hadn't seen in a while. and just a lot of fun.
for this night, calli was a swan, i was a vampire, alex was a little girl, alli was a pirate, and kd was a bird. i wore my red contacts, but in these pictures they look black since alex has such a nice camera it automatically takes out red eye. so next time i wear these contacts i know not to take pictures with alex's camera haha
