WE ARE BYU!!!

My cousin Austin has been playing football for BYU this season which is pretty neat since he just got home this summer from his mission. My parents got season tickets and we had been dying to get up to a game. This weekend things worked out so we made the trip up with my family. The game ended up being a blowout with BYU 54 and UNLV 7. The best part was watching Austin and watching the people sitting in front of us. Haha.

My brother Jordan and his wife Brook at our "almost top row" seats. :)

My mom and I waiting forever for the game to start. We got there 2 hours early to beat the traffic.

The fam. Notice how there is NO ONE else there yet? Haha!

Halloween Fun

This year's Halloween was pretty fun and exhausting. I wish I could post a picture of my cute class in their costumes but I can't for privacy reasons. You'll have to settle for some blurry pictures of friends and family instead!

On Thursday I went to a fun "Witches Night Out" party at my friend Lisa's house.
Halloween at school was really fun on Friday. That night Daniel and I went to a costume party at our friends Jarvis and Mandy's house. Then on Saturday night we went to my sister's to pass out homemade donuts! Overall it was a pretty fun Halloween weekend.

The girls. The third grade teachers

My niece Chloe and my nephew Rylan. So cute!

Baby Cash

Just a quick post to show my new little nephew Cash! Isn't he cute!!? I spent the night at my sister Jana's the night before but he didn't come until the next day. I'm super excited to have one of my own someday!

Running

Back in July my friends Ashlye, Claudia, and I started do the training program "Couch to 5k in 7 Weeks". The whole point of it was to lose weight. Overall, I lost about 3 pounds! Haha. Our first 5k was the Swiss Days 5k in Santa Clara in September. I felt really good after and started looking for other races. The next one I did was the Midnight 5k at the college October 1 with Ashlye. That one was miserable and I missed my time by 5 seconds! The last 5k I ran was the "Save a Sister" 5k on October 23 with my sister in law Ashlie. I beat my time that time. I had been weighing myself after running and doing spin and nothing was happening. I have been super stressed at work lately and was really nervous about all the changes that have been going on so finally I had my principal come evaluate me last week. She said that I was doing an amazing job teaching and that all my extra hard work was paying off. That made me feel a lot better. After that I started losing about a pound a day! I think my body was just holding onto the weight from stress. SO........I hit my 10 lbs. weight loss goal and only have 7 left to lose!! I awarded myself with a couple pairs of jeans (in a smaller size mind you) and I won the challenge I had going with Daniel. I'm pretty excited!

Claudia, Ashlye, and I all geared up and ready for the race at 6:30 A.M.

Me after we got home from the race.

My sister in law Ashlie and I after the "Save a Sister" 5k Can you tell how dead we were? Look at our faces!
