Blake is finally home!

On June 12, 2009, Blake Hopper came home from his mission! He looks really good, and we still like each other. He is great! He looked happy to be home, but I know he misses his mission a lot. Here are some pictures of us, these are recent pictures, not of when he came home.

Georgia, here I go!

Back in May, I had the opportunity to go to Georgia to visit my sister and family! It was a blast! The kids were crazy, but I had a lot of fun with them! We mostly just went shopping and got Andrea and the kids ready to come to Utah for three weeks. I hope I will be able to go to Georgia again soon!

What a cute family!

Slideshow of Blake and Aubrie

This is a slide show of Blake and I, premission-obviously. I have a new picture editing program and it can make slide shows! It's really cool actually! I just wanted to share my creation with everyone! Enjoy!

Slumber Party!

Here are pictures from my slumber party! I just love these girls! YAY! Not everyone who came got their picture taken (my fault). So sorry to those who came, but didn't get a picture taken! Also, thanks to my parents for hosting this party for me! They are so great!

Bekah and Kendra

Melissa, Becca, and Jessica being silly!

They were in a little corner of my living room sleeping, it was really funny!

The Old Roommates! (minus Rachel who is on her mission)

The New Year

So, the new year has started, and this the first time this year that I have written on my blog. Sad, but true. Recap of the last month. I got to talk to Blake on the phone when he called his family over Christmas break! It was really good to talk to him, and he is doing really well! He comes home in less then 5 months, and I can't wait! The new semester has started, and I am always super busy with work and school. I think this semester is going to be a lot of fun though! I did turn 21 this month, and I had a slumber party (pictures coming soon). It was a lot of fun to get most of my friends together! Well, that's about it, but I did get a new digital camera for my birthday, so hopefully I will have more pictures to post on my blog! YAY!

Officially the Biggest Blogging Slacker Ever!

Dear Reader,
It is now December, and I haven't written on my blog for over two months. I did another letter from Blake, and he is doing well. He is struggling right now because the branches in his mission are struggling. In his own words, "...the people have fallen into the ways of the world and have made excuses for their sins." He said there are about 300 people in the branch, but only about 50 come to church every Sunday. He is relying on the Lord to help him know how to help the branches in his area. Also Blake's mom got a letter from his mission President saying that Blake was a district leader. Blake didn't even say a thing to me or his family! Basically, Blake is doing great!
School is almost over! I only have four days left of actual classes, then finals. Hopefully it won't be too bad. My cousin Becca gets married on the 20th of December, and I am a bridesmaid. Hopefully, I will have pictures from the event, and will then be able to post something more interesting on my blog. My sister and family come out for 2 weeks on December 21st! I'm really excited to see them! Well, that's about it, hopefully I will get better at this blogging thing.

I'm a slacker at this whole blogging thing

Dear readers (whomever you may be),
I haven't kept up my blog like I should. My life really hasn't changed much. Dated a few guys, fallen in love, then got my heart broken. No big deal though because everything has worked out according to what Heavenly Father wants in my life right now. I also got a letter from my missionary, Blake, and he is doing really well! He has 50 investigators and 6 of them have baptism dates! He is so happy and loves his mission! I have started a new semester at BYU, and I am still working at Vision Home Security in the call center. It's a nice job because I can do homework during the down time. Another bonus is I only have to work three days a week, and that includes Saturdays! It's really nice, and I personally think a tender mercy, we'll see how it goes when the semester gets more intense. Also, and most importantly, I have tickets to all of the BYU football home games! It's been really fun to see the Cougars win!!

Professional Pictures of Myself

I decided that I needed new professional pictures of myself. I hadn't had a professional picture taken of myself since I was a junior in high school. I went to Kiddie Kandids, and here are more pictures of me!

I got a hair cut!

So, since nothing really exciting has happened to me, I thought I would write about my new haircut! I really like it, and it's really easy to do! Also, coming soon, pictures of my new car!

Spring term and my new job

So, it has only been one week since Finals have ended, and I already have started school and work. School won't be too bad this term because I am only taking two classes. At work I am a supervisor for a certain part of a call center at home security place. It's a fun job, and I work with a lot of fun people. It's keeping me busy, which is a good thing, but I do have time to do somethings that I want to do!

Our Fun FHE night!

For our last FHE of the year, we decided to play games. These weren't ordinary games. We played pin the tie on President Monson, Pickle, Pickle, Cucumber (like Duck, Duck, Goose), and Faith and Doubt (Red like, Green light). It was actually really fun! This is a good idea for any FHE! In the picture is our game of Pin the tie on President Monson. (Yes, he doesn't have a face).

April 18-25- FINALS!! And a BIG Pizza!

Finals week has come and gone, but I must say that I did have some fun while I was stressed out of my mind! For FHE during finals week, my roommates and I decided to buy a HUGE pizza. Included with this blog post are pictures of the HUGE pizza of delight and wonder. But I am very grateful that I am done with finals week!! Oh, and after we ate all of the pizza, we wrote on the box! It was so much fun!

General Conference!

Last week, my roommates and I were able to go to the conference center to watch the Sunday morning of General Conference! The conference center was absolutely beautiful!! It was such an amazing experience! We weren't aloud to take pictures in the conference center, so I don't have any pictures to post. It was a special experience because it was the first talk President Monson gave at General Conference sustained as the new prophet, seer, and revelator. So cool!

Hiking the Y

Once upon a time I was at BYU, and my roommates and I couldn't go to the Festival of Colors. Actually, we just decided not to go. So, instead we decided to hike the Y. The scenery was beautiful, and it was a really nice day to go for a hike. These pictures are documentation that we did in fact hike all the way to the top of the Y. We also thought it was funny that we were all wearing blue sweatshirts.

This is Blake and me

This is Blake. He is currently serving a mission in Bacolod, Philippines. He has been gone for almost 10 months. 14 more months to go! While he is gone on his mission, I am going to school, and I am an open major, but hoping to declare my major as Clinical Laboratory Science.

I have a blog!

This is a test to see if I actually use a blog or not. Hopefully it will be able to make good use of it!
