The Homecoming Game

Okay, so yesterday before the homecoming game I went to a research lab and let some lady run tests on my brain for some experiment. Don't worry, it's totally safe and I'm getting some credit towards my Psych major for it, but I looked pretty dang awesome in my head wrap.

To get all the sensors to work right they had to get them wet first, so I sort of had an unexpected shower. Leaving the building I saw one of the BYU cheerleaders, so I had to stop and take a wet hair cheer leader selfie.

Then the real fun began! My friends Spencer and Shayla had basically been camping out getting a really good seat for the Homecoming football game, and then when I got there they said I could sit with them! It was awesome! We got to meet two of the football players, one of them is the linebacker and the other one was after the game, and we have no clue who he is. But we know he played and that he's super tall! We were on about the 3rd row of the ROC section and were around the 20 yard line. It was awesome! The game was super intense too. It went into double overtime, and we won! After we won everyone stormed the field. It was so crazy.

Us underneath the giant Y that was one of the banners that spelled BYU (We think. We couldn't really see out from under this thing.)

We're pretty sure this guy is literally two feet taller than both of us

I'm Awk

So, as per usual Spencer and I left Biology and decided that in lou of doing homework, we would go eat. So we went and got some Taco Bell, and then scoured the Cougar Eat looking for somewhere to sit.. we eventually stole some guys table by swooping in the second he stood up. Anyways, there we were casually enjoying our tacos, when lo and behold, James from Studio C comes walking. He went up to the table next to us that had a girl sitting at it, and tried to get her attention to ask if he could sit with her, but she was plugged into her phone and wasn't noticing so I was all like, you can come sit with us!! SO HE DID. It was awesome! I was so awkward for the first couple minutes. I was like I'm Courtney, I feel like I should ask your name even though I already know who you are. Anyways.. I'm awkward. So sorry lol. But we got to just sit and talk to him for like 45 minutes, and he was so cool! Actual blessings. I even told him my skit idea for Studio C, in that they should make a skit based on the southern mentality of the phrase "Bless Your Heart" where you can say anything you want about a person as long as you precede it with that, and he said that they literally filmed that skit a couple weeks ago and that it hasn't gone live yet. I feel so legit.

In other news, I got a bunch of pictures off of Shutterfly and used them to decorate my room. It's nice to have some pictures of my family and friends up on the wall.

Also featured here is my friend Shayla. She's a snuggler.

Fall Finds and Tasty Treats

So it's starting to look like Tuesday is going to be the regular temple trip day for me, Erin, and Gideon. We forgot to take temple pictures this morning, but on our way back we found a pumpkin that had been carved and stuck in a tree so we decided to take pictures with it instead.

 So this picture is a little rough, but today in instead of a devotional, there was homecoming week kick off! It was a lot of fun, and we got to hear the marching band play. Me and Erin loved that!

Today me and all my roommates decided that today needed some Panda Express, so after we all got out of class we made a Panda run. I love my roommates.

My Awesome Fam

Yesterday was delicious. My cousin Blake picked me up and drove me to Kirt's house for a tasty dinner with a lot of my family! Kirt's family was there, Uncle Dave and all his people (minus Luis), Blake, Cody, Grandma, and me! It was awesome getting to see so much of my family. Super Lez even made a turkey, and there was stuffing!! I love that stuff. (See what I did there) I'm so funny.

We also got to watch the second Presidential debate together. Good times!!

Temples, Smiles, and Bad Food Choices

Today I had the awesome opportunity to go to the Provo City Center Temple with some of the other ladies in Relief Society. The temple is so beautiful, and I'm glad that there are such awesome sisters in my ward that I can go to the temple with!

Also, last Friday was National Smile Day. Looking at this picture, I'm not actually smiling but I tried my best.

So, me and my friend Spencer have Bio together every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and we try to go to the library to do homework after class, but we usually just end up getting lunch in the food court. This is why the Freshmen 15 is a real thing.

To be fair though, the pizza comes with garlic dipping sauce and the fries are way good. Those 15 lbs. will be well worth it.

Corn Maze

I got to go on a super fun date yesterday with a guy named Parker from my social dance class. We had a lot of fun! We went to a little place called Hee Haw Farms, and it was your cute basic little fall farm thing. They had a giant corn maze, a ball pit with corn kernels instead of balls, a hay ride, a pumpkin patch, a petting zoo with goats and rabbits, two pretty big slides, and a little gun thing that was air pressured that they put corn into and you could shoot targets with it. It was super fun. I think the corn maze was my favorite part. That, or the giant slide. It was pretty cold outside, so I was glad that I had brought us both some hand warmers. The hand warmers I have shake up, and they actually last for quite a while! They're a blessing. Anyways, after we left the farm we went back to Parkers apartment and made some Mexican Hot Chocolate and sang karaoke with one of his roommates. Another one of the roommates likes to celebrate national food days, and yesterday was national apple betty day, so we got to eat that too. We had a lot of fun, and it was the perfect end to the day.

Grandparents

Today was awesome! My grandma and grandpa were driving back from their mission in Maryland, and they stopped by Provo to see me! It was so awesome to get to see them! We went to Wendys, and I introduced them to eating their french fries by dipping them in the chocolate shake. I'm pretty sure they were impressed. I love my grandparents so much! I'm so glad that I live closer and will get to see them more often :)
