Mmm Hmmm

Kinda cheesy, but I'm all about that.

Search "Michael Buble- Just haven't met you yet" on YouTube.

It's worth it.

Oh Fall, I love you

Leaves are my favorite part of fall. I love stepping on crunchy leaves. In fact, I make it a point to step on as many as I can. Another fun thing is jumping in a HUGE pile of leaves like this:


Today I watched a six year old boy laboriously rake all the leaves in his front yard. At first I thought it was his chore for the day and I admired him for doing it willingly. However, after he finished raking up a big pile, he ran full speed and jumped in! It made my heart happy. :)

Happy Halloween

It's the last Halloween my roommates and I are going to spend together, so we decided to really live it up! We had such a great weekend together!! Take a look at us in all of our glory.

So this is us on Halloween Eve at our ward party. Sesame Street style. Evan is in our ward-he's Furby. Suzanne is Ernie, I'm Burt, and Mary is Big Bird.

So we wanted to change things up for the actual Halloween night, so we decided to be restaurant icons. I'm Colonel Saunders, Suz is Wendy, Mary is Ronald McDonald in a bathrobe, and Lanae is Jared from Subway. We thought we were pretty clever.

Fundraising can be cool

Especially when your loved ones help you out.

This is an official plea: PLEASE buy something from me. My program told me I had to fundraise at least $50 in profit every semester. These things are really great and way cheaper than if you bought them online or in a store. I have toothbrushes and toothpaste available and crest whitestrips. I can't advertise them online, so if you want a list of the merchandise with prices and pictures please leave your e-mail in a comment. Or you can e-mail me at beckerecka@gmail.com

Thanks in advance to all of you buy stuff from me :)

New school, new outlook

I started my Dental Hygiene program at UVU last week. I love it! The other 13 girls in my program are awesome and my classes are bomb. I'm totally in my element.

So I love my program and my classes, but what about the school itself? I wasn't so keen on leaving BYU, but it's actually really nice. The campus is really pretty and the people are really chill. So far I have received 2 free T-shirts and 3 free meals (I actually don't think I was supposed to have that last one. There was like a Business Major fair or something and there was a free BBQ for the students. I just stood in line and they gave me food so I'm happy).

Another thing I love is Institute. It's the best. It's a place for me to forget about school. Unlike BYU, the classes are not ones where you have to take tests and do homework. There are just a bunch of people who actually WANT to be there. They also give me free food sometimes.

So far UVU is great!

Out for Lunch

Many businesses have these:


It's not uncommon. The other day, however, I saw one that made me laugh. There is a new BBQ place in Provo and as I was walking by one day I saw a sign like that. I almost laughed out loud. Why do these people need to go out to lunch? Don't they have food to eat there? And won't their new business struggle if they aren't even open during lunch?

Just thought I'd share this hilarious oxymoron with you all.

Never done packing

I feel like this poor girl:


I HATE packing. So much. There are many times in a college student's life where he/she must pack up his/her whole life only to move down the street. I have packed up my life 4 times in the past 2 years. Today I find myself packing up for the fifth time. Bleh. It's only been 4 months since I did this.

Good thing that I only unpacked less than half of my belongings this time around. It'll be MUCH easier. Now the problem is that I have a gap of 5 days where I am completely homeless. I have to move out of my house the 22nd and I can't move in until the 27th (just for the record--that is after I start school and work). Oh joy. I am not looking forward to it.

Though I absolutely loath packing my things, I love to unpack and get organized. There is something about meticulously putting everything of mine in my own space and have it organized exactly how I want. I quite enjoy it :)
