Fun, Family & Firesides

This weekend was very entertaining.  I went back to Rupert, where my family completely ruined my healthy eating habits.  But we went to The Sound of Music play (which was fantastic), and Erin Webster's bridal shower (fantastic as well), but after I had to leave my family again, I got to experience the MOST fantastic item of the weekend.  Elder Jeffrey R. Holland spoke at the Joseph Smith Memorial fireside specifically for the Utah State campus.  Elder Holland is my favorite speaker and it was wonderful to hear and see an apostle of the Lord so closely.  It was inspirational and geared me up for the next few weeks of school ahead of me.  Happy Monday everyone.  Do something exciting!

The Hill (Re-Vamped for Winter)

Since we FINALLY have seen some traces of real snow, I've finally been able to see what the hill's true colors are.  Slipping, quite frequently, is a must, but the bright students at USU have been innovative enough to overcome it.  For example:

We have a rope made of ipod cords, twine, etc, all tied together and attached to the top of the fence to pull yourself up.

A large garbage sack full of smaller plastic sacks at the top of the hill purely for our sliding pleasure.

Today I witnessed people LITERALLY skiing down the hill decked out in all of their gear.

Small, clumpy piles of rock salt so generously splattered (but not spread) on the ground.

Overall, it is immensely entertaining to watch others make the trek to class.
