Green hair aftermath

I loved having neon green hair for the evening. Even if it did stink and I got high off the smell. I was a little sad to wash it out. It made my hair so stiff that I couldn't get my hairband out at first. That would have been a fun text to Julie.  
 

In the shower I washed my hair three times and yet not all of the green came out! Good thing I have the weekend to de-green before I go back to work on monday.

Our drain in the bathtub isn't working right so when anyone showers the water fills up the tub instead of draining normally. This is what the water looked like after my shower.

Ward Carnival

This year the 15th ward did a halloween carnival for the first time ever. I was really looking forward to it and even skipped my math class so I could go. We were encouraged to wear costumes so I went as an MSU Spartan. It was an easy costume for the poor college student. Julie painted my face and sprayed my hair green. The carnival did not disappoint with chili, hotdogs, homemade rootbeer, snocones, cotton candy, and tons of candy. There were games and trick er treating. It was a great start to the weekend after a stressful week with work and starting my writing class. My ward is great and knows how to have a good time.

Conference weekend

I am so behind on my blog- one of these times I will catch up.
 
Andrea came down from Idaho on Thursday for the weekend! When she was here a month ago I found out that she really wanted to attend a conference session live. I had never been either and so.... I pulled a few strings and got four tickets for the sunday morning session!
 
Although the main purpose of the visit was conference we did manage to have some fun. We ate out twice (cafe rio & winger's), carved pumpkins, ate treats, went for walks (it has been a lot cooler and fall is definitly in the air, I love it!), stayed up late, and so on.    
 
When the boys are gone the girl's will play! During priesthood session we got take out and carved pumpkins. Ashley really loves wings!  
 
Sunday morning Andrea, Ashley, Becca, and I went to Conference! It was amazing. I think my favorite part was standing up while the General Authorities filed in. I love the spirit that these men bring with them. Andrea was really excited that Elder Holland spoke. The only downfall to being there- I had to use the restroom 4 times in 2 hours! Seriously. I probably shouldn't have had that mug of apple cider before going. I wish I could have gotten a picture outside the conference center but we didn't have the camera. Oh well.
 
The weekend was awesome. Tiring though- I fell asleep in the middle of the day both saturday and sunday. That never happens.
 
Now the girls are gone. Back to real life. :)
