winter has arrived

so this past weekend me and erica went to slc with dan and our friend ben. i was able to get tickets to go to the first presidency devotional. it was a fun filled sunday with dinner at the ebert's house and a quick visit to my folks house. we then met up with dan's cousing and her boyfriend for the devotional and then walked around temple square to see the lights. the devotional was great and i enjoyed the messages the first presidency shared. temple square was gorgeous but we did not walk around for long due to how cold it was and not everyone having coats. it was very nice though to have a day away from logan and to be able to enjoy slc.

so winter has finally made it to logan. we have had a few days of snow fall but the cold is what gets me. it has been under 10 degrees for about 3 days now. it is insane. to truly describe the cold i will share an experience i had with a preschooler of mine.

we were outside getting the kids on the bus when one of my preschoolers noticed that he could see his breath when he breathed. he turned to me and said "Ms. marianne don't breath it will steal it."

it was so cute that he thought the cold was stealing our breath, and it was just that cold.

well life is good and a little slow with speacial olympics on a break for now. but who can complain when they now have free time. hope everyone is enjoying the snow and christmas season.

love and all that stuff
marianne

a break from life

so i am way excited for this break from life that is coming up. i was able to get work off for thanksgiving, so i can go home to the fam. i am so happy to be able to get away from the roommates and the drama of girls. i also am excited because our fall season of special olympics had finally come to an end. we officially have a break until mid jan. it will be so nice to be able to come home from work sat. mornigs and go to bed rather then practice. who knew that life could get so tiresome.

well happy thanksgiving to all in a week

fun with guns

so i recently went shooting with some friends of mine and it was way fun. i wish i had pictures but there was no camera there. we got to the spot late and so we shot by the light of all the cars. we had some pumpkins and we wanted to see how trashed we could get them. we had a pistol, a shot gun 12 gage, and a 30 30 i think it is called i am not sure. i shot the pistol for the main part and hit the pimpkins alot. it was way fun. then a friend of mine asked if i wanted to shoot the shot gun which i have done before but this one had some different shells in it that have 12 beebes in it agian can't think of what they are called. it had such a strong kick back that i almost fell back. so then another friend of mine had some beer bottels that we shot. no there was no drinking envolved. i was the only one to hit the bottel on the first shot. not even the guys could so yes all bragging rights are mine. well it was a fun night full of guns and exploding pumpkins.

thats life

summers end

so sense the summer is coming to an end i thought i would share with you all the fun that went on here in logan.

so for starter a bunch of us decided to go down to slc for the temple open house. it was way fun and a very spiritual expereience. the ride down was a blast especially because i had not slept in 24 hours.

the roommates with our little brother

all of us that went down, one big happy family someone said.

so we decided to go to lagoon one day and some of us spent way to much fun in the sun and got seriously burnt. we were so tired at the end of the night we decided to take a rest in the sit and smoke station. that was until we got kicked out for someone that wanted to use it for its real purpose.

so our little brother cole just left on his mission. we went to weston idaho for his farewell and met all his family. it was way fun to see him grow up and get ready to serve the lord. cole has been gone fore almost a month now and we love hearing from him and love the replacement little brother he left us.

playing on the swings

we had a freedom party for lauren on the day that would have been her year wedding aniversary. we ended up dressing up like crazy people and had a dance party. it was a good day for her

me and rachael being crazy

so we all went and had a bon fire for fhe one night. there was this cute bench so we decided to take pictures. it was fun seeing how many people we could fit on it.

we went to a demolition durby one night and the sun was so bright we all had to wear our glasses. it was a way fun night and we loved watching all the cars get beat to death






so we went shooting in the mountains one day and had a blast. not everyone would shoot because they were scared but i loved it. we then went four wheeling in kodie's new suv.

well there is the summer in a nut shell. i whole lot more happened like getting new roommates, having erica move in, and painting my house and redecorating it. yes it has been a great summer and i hope the fall will be just as good.

labor day fun

so labor day was way fun. me and erica went with some friends up to bearlake. we went to her familys cabin and went four wheeling and got lost a couple of times. we also had a bbq and played games and such. it was way fun and totally something i needed. it has been way fun having erica up here and she has decided to just move into my apt with me and my roommates. i think it will be way fun and a new experience for her.

so i have had such a fun week it has been crazy. i have bacome friends with the boys next door who are from texas and we have spent almost every night hanging out with them. so first i decided i wanted to start cooking sunday dinners for my roommates and then we decided to invite others and now it is what we do every sunday. monday was my birthday and it was a full day. i had to work in the morning and my boss was so sweet she gave me a purse for my birthday. i then went to bear lake with a buch of friends and just played in the water. we were going to meet up with the boys to go boating but it did not work out. so then another group of friends took me to dinner. after words i went home and my roommates and others threw me a party. it was way fun with loud music and dancing. good news though there were no cops called to my house. they did end up at the boys house though because they flipped their car on the way home from bear lake. so that was monday, tuesday we went to dinner and then hung out at my house doing stunts onto our love sac. after words we went to campus and went exploring in the under ground tunnels. it was way fun and we were all glad that we did not get caught though there were times we thought we would. on wed. we all went country dancing which my roommates have been truing to get me to do for a year now. it ended up being pretty fun and i will probablly continue going. we then watched a movie as well as on thurs. today the boys who car got totalled bought a used car and we took it up the canyon and went shooting. it was way fun sense i have not been sense my senior year of high school. we then took his car off roading to see how far we could push it its is a jeep of sorts so we took it pretty far. now tommorrow we are going cliff jumping and more. it has been crazy fun and many late nights of going to bed around three or later but o well. i will have to post pictures of all the fun.

well that is my life not as boring as it once was.

so funny story

my roommates and i had a party for a friend of ours birthday. it eneded up turning into a dance party tha twas way fun because i have a great speaker system. so we were loud and having fun moch pittin it in my apt. i guess we ended up being a little to loud because low and behold the cops showed up at my door. a girl that was there had gotten a text from some girls in our ward saying we need to turn the music down and i jokingly said to my friend that if they have a problem they should call the cops. she never told the girls that but a few min. later they showed up. when they got there we had already stopped dancing and i was changing the music to more mellow stuff. our door was open and the cops knocked. we never answer the door and just yell to come in which i did. we were all shocked to see who it was. it was way funny though because the cops were histarical. one saw the cake on the table and was like ooo cake. the other saw our food shelves and said you guys sure have alot of food storage. we did not get in trouble though because we were not doing anything illegal. but my friends do think that i am a pro wit hthe cops though because i just waltzed right up to them no fear and chatted with them. but all in all it was way funny for a cop metting at mindnight i mean who calls them that early.

well thats the fun with me
