My Life is Now Complete



I know you are all thinking that this is a miracle that I am writing for the second time in two days, well it is a miracle.
But last night me, Lindsey, Sarah and Kimber all bought tickets to see the premiere of Twilight! We went at the midnight showing and before hand all we could was giggle about how excited we were to finally see the movie.
Well with all this excitement we get quite hungry, so we made a
pit stop at TGIF to get some dessert. We all had some very very very very delicious meals and had a great time laughing (something we do the best) at each other. Actually I feel like they are just laughing at me, most of the time, just kidding they are laughing with me.
After we had our delicious deserts, my being the Brownie Obessesion, we headed over to the theater where it was already quite packed with Twilight obessed fans like ourself. But after an hour long wait in the theater sitting next to some weirdos, and technical difficulties we were able to watch Twilight and we all LOVED it!!! It was totally worth getting only 3 hours of sleep and having to take a couple tests the next day.

Almost There

I am so sorry I haven't updated the blog in so long. Life has just been crazy with all sorts of tests and papers and crazy anal teachers. I have officially taken up residency at the library, and I am just wondering why I have paid rent at my apartment when don't even leave there. I am just excited for Thanksgiving break because I might be able to go to bed at before 3 am and wake up after 7-8 am I know, I know mom I need my sleep, trust me I know. 

But don't worry everyone I have been having some fun in-between cramming for my World Civilizations, Biology and Spanish tests this week. I of course go hang out with some awesome friends, I have recently discovered that the Karate Kid movies are amazing and full of all sorts of scripture doctrine, Miyagi ione smart cookie. 

The last couple family home evenings have been so much fun. Two Mondays ago we went over to our AMAZING Bishop's house and played a game, we all tied balloons around our ankles and then tried to pop each others balloon. We all got quite into it and had a great time. Bishop even ended tackling Brandon to get a balloon popped. The above pictures of Lindsey cutting out our delicious sugar cookies, thanks for the recipe mom. For the activity we all got a piece of paper, wrote our name on it, and then wrote something we were grateful for each person. It is was fun and very touching to let everyone know how much you appreciate him or her. Also on Tuesday Lindsey had a choir concert where she did an amazing job, and the rest of us in the crowd got some good entertainment from some VERY enthusiastic choir singers. 

I am so excited for the next coming week. I get to home to see my family and see my big brother who I haven't seen in 2 years. I can't believe it has been that long since he left. I also can't wait to see my sisters that I haven't seen in months and all my adorable nieces and nephews. 

And then after we get back from Thanksgiving Break we will all only have 2 weeks of school left and then the semester will be over. I can't believe the girls in 301 will be broken up. And I can't believe they are dumbing me :,( 

But one of the most exciting things of all is TWILIGHT!!!!!!!!! It comes out tomorrow night and we are all going to go see it together. I am absolutely so excited to watch this. All I know is that during it I am going to be so excited I will just have to keep telling myself...deep breath Jessica, deeeeeep breath!

Happy Halloween!!!

Our outfits on Halloween night. Sarah was a gangster, Kimber a soccer player (aka herself) and I was 3-Hole Punch Jessica (like a piece of paper).
At the ward party with the pie eating contest. Even after Greg (right) spit half of his pie in Jared's (left), Jared still won!

Us girls at the Ward Party. Emily and I were cowgirls, Sarah was a nerd and Kimber was again a soccer player.

For halloween this year we all got really excited and go into the spirit. The apartment was covered with cobwebs from friendly spiders and we even had a couple pumpkins lying around the apartment. The night before Halloween we went to a ward party, where we were able to dress up and play some games. During the past week Lindsey had a Halloween concert with the school and she did a wonderful job playing the harp and dressing up like a pirate, sadly I didn't take any pictures of her awesome outfit. 

And also on Halloween night, Kimber, Sarah and I got dressed up once again and went to a party at a friend's house. They had dry ice bombs and fun games. We had a great time.

Meet the the Family

The Family!!!

My calling in my college ward is the FHE mom, and I have been doing an absolutely terrible job being a mom, I haven't showed off how cool my 16 children are. 

We are quite a crazy group, in the past we have done lots of games, like the animal game, and if anyone wants to know Thomas does the animal noises, we also did some games like "What If...." and last week we did an awesome scavenger hunt, and we had some very delicious treats over the past week, and by the 

Well I just want to give everyone a little introduction to our little family away from our families. The boys include Tyler, Marc, Thomas, Danny, Ryan, and the FHE dad, Brandon. There are two apartments of girls, in apartment 103 there are Ashley, Becka, Jessica, Brittany, Brooke and Kathleen. And then there is apartment 301 being, Emily, Kimber, Lindsey, Kassie, Sarah and ME! 
This last FHE we took on the Halloween Spirit and 
carved/painted pumpkins. The boys brought out their knives (very scary I know) and the girls did what we do best which is paint! Our pumpkins turned out rather fabulous if you ask me and we all had a blast sing Disney songs.

Mothers Weekend

This last weekend was a great one indeed. Mothers all over the nation came to the campus of BYU-Idaho, and our apartment had the opportunity to have two of them with us. Kassi and Emily's mothers came and we all just fell in with love with them. The rest of us kind of got a little depressed because we didn't get to have our mothers with us but we quickly got over that. Saturday night we got to go see Momma Mia, such a funny movie, we laughed so hard throughout the entire thing. And when we got home we had lots of fun playing apples to apples and ate some food Kassi's mother made for us.

This is way we dress to go out in public, in our sweats. The best way to go!

Kassi with her amazing mother, we all loved her!!!
But the most amazing thing happened while we slept Saturday night, it SNOWED!!!! We all woke up with snow falling and everything covered in white. What a wonderful sight!

Cupcake Wars!

On Friday night Sarah, Kimber and I had an amazing night. Jared, Brett and Drew came over with all the ingredients to make cupcakes. We all worked together and made way too many cupcakes, that were all beautifully decorated.
But while we were enjoying our chocolate on chocolate cupcakes Kimber made a move on Sarah and got icing all over her face. Then Brett thinking he was oh so clever he tricked Jared into getting a little closer and got a LARGE amounts of icing all over his face. Then chaos irrupted in apartment 301. Icing was flying everywhere, Brett attacked Jared, Jared attacked Drew and me, Drew got Sarah, Sarah got Kimber and Drew and I got Drew and Jared also. 
After we escaped all the chocolatey icing that was now all over faces and in our hair, much to the dismay of all the girls, we came back into the apartment. We then all cleaned up all that we could and went to and watched Iron Man (amazing movie). 
All in all we had an awesome night and the next day we found a huge glob of icing on our door.

The Whole Ten Yards

Once every week, us girls battle the winds and the freezing tempatures and watch the boys in our ward play a little football. This last game we went to was so cold, we bundled up so tightly but yet the cold air still wiggled its way through our coats, our other four layers of clothing and froze us to the bones. But amazingly enough once we cuddled up and piled up on top of each other, it was somewhat bearable.

We found this to be the method to be the warmest....SPOONING!!
