New Pajamas!

My mommy is the BEST! I told her about these wonderful pajamas at the bookstore that I fell in love with but they were a little out of my price range (which means more than four dollars.) She sent me up a card with the money in it. YAY! I went and bought them that second.

They are bright pink, orange, and brown tie-dye with brown flowers and BYU-IDAHO written up the leg. SO cute.

Thank you Mom!

First Snow/ Towel Fight!

The first day of snow! In Utah when it snows its cold but not bitter. Up here you can literally feel when its going to snow. The air is so cold you walk outside and your entire face freezes. You can't have your hand out of a pocket for 30 seconds without it freezing. You also know when the snow is going to melt because it isn't so bitter. The night after the first snow was so cold that it all turned to ice. Not crunchy snow. Solid ICE!

Here Frazier and I stopped for half a second to take a picture then quickly ran into my apartment for some yummy lunch.

After we finished our delightful lunch of celery (his with peanut butter, mine with ranch.) We got into a towel fight. I'll let you be the judge of who won.

This is the welt on the back of my leg. You know that whole thing about not shooting people in the back because it's bad sportsmanship? Obviously Frazier doesn't believe in this. He got me while I was running away!

I did give him a pretty nice welt on his arm though. Will the adventures never end?

Tracing

I found this song recently and fell in love with it. It just seems to fit everything thats been happening lately. It's called 'tracing' by John Mayer. who has recently become one of my new favorite artists.

I love the line "There is a reason the strong move slow, and I'm okay, if you're okay with wasting time." Yup, that's basically all I have to say about this one. Hope y'all like it. The link is posted below.

For Dad

My father texted me today and said "Katie, three words. BLOG UP DATE" Funny thing is, he doesn't comment on anything so how am I to know that anyone actually reads my blog?!

Anyway, here is your blog update Daddy, This is my buddy Frazier. He's in my English and Science classes, and comes over quite a bit because I feed him and help him with his homework. He affectionately refers to me as 'mom' as do all my roommates.

Frazier has this crazy beat boxing talent he also sings and dances and entertains us all quite a bit. So, without further ado, FRAZIER! (forgive him, he's a bit sleep deprived)

Food

Triple Chocolate Trifle. Mmmmmmmmmm, 'nough said. :)

Yummy wrap:) Grilled chicken, avocados, spinach, and ranch dressing. This was a play off a recipe my sister Heidi gave me, hers was a lot better and more in depth. But, I was starving and didn't have all the ingredients. (I'd like to draw your attention to my cute plate! :)

This was a Heidi recipe and its fantastic! Its called Honey Mustard Chicken. I made three pieces so that when I was really hungry I could just toss it in the microwave and have something yummy. It last two days. Thanks Heidi!

Noodles, white sauce, and grilled chicken. I was talking to my family online and they were having a wonderful big Sunday dinner made by my marvelous father. I was eating this. I believe this was the moment that I realized that I was homesick, hungry, and poor. It was hard to learn all those things in the same minute!

By the way, I haven't gained that freshman 15. We have to walk EVERYWHERE! I've lost 10 pounds. Yay!

A new friend

This is my wonderful friend Tyler. He's in my English class and we have a blast! Tyler walks me home after English class, one day I mentioned that my roommate made 'tres leche' (He just got home from a mission to Mexico two months ago.) His eyes lit up and he begged if he could come up and have some after his class. How could I crush that hope?! This picture was taken after he had his cake. He was very excited about it, Caitlin was glad that he approved of it. (By the way, He's 6 foot 4.)

Tyler came over the other day because he needed help with homework (honestly, what would this boy do without me?) He simply had to show me this nasty turf burn he got playing soccer, He tackled a girl!!!! Serves him right. He wouldn't let me clean it and now its infected, serves him right again, :) I'll post another picture if his leg is amputated like I said it would be if he didn't take care of it. ;)

Apple Orchard!

We have a nice apple orchard up here. You go pick your own apples and they are only 50 cents per pound! Obviously we HAD to go! On the way we saw this extremely cute brother and sister. I simply had to take a picture.

Here is Caitlin standing at the beginning of the orchard. There were SO many trees; (I guess that's why its called an orchard, hmm?) and lots of different types of apples, we had a blast climbing trees and picking apples. we ended up with 19 pounds of apples! I had only had nine pounds. :) We're very excited to be eating our very cheap apples for the next few weeks. (I successfully made homemade apple sauce! :D)

Sometimes they were very hard to reach, and more often than not if you jumped to grab a exceptionally scrumptious looking apple you just ended up knocking it off the branch and ending up with an apple landing in your face.

"Look! Its Caitlin and Katherine apples! Lets take a picture!" --Caitlin
