Off-roading


Okay, I just have to say that I am officially in LOVE with JEEPS!!! Thanks to Jason Dayley. This semester he has taken me on some really awesome off roading trails. Friday Jason and his brother Justin took my roommates and me to the "mountains". Jason had the Jeep and Justin had the Four-runner. Of course we could do a lot more trails in the jeep. A few times I was a little nervous that we wouldn't make it out alive. ( = we stopped and had a nice picnic. We were having some fun and Jason ended up getting us high centered on a trail. Justin was a little ways ahead of us so he didn't know. We tried to get out but we had to wait till Justin realized we were stuck and come pull us out. We thought he might just leave us to fend for ourselves. They had all the food and no one had cell phone service. Saturday night Jason took some of us down to the river bottoms and rabbit hunting. We only saw one rabbit so we just ended up shooting guns into a log. We plan on going again after we carve our Halloween pumpkins so we can have some target practice on them. Lets just say I might have to buy myself a jeep if I ever get rich and famous and need another vehicle for fun!
Catherine, Tiana, and me are in the Jeep while Jason sees how bad he got stuck

New York






I spent the last week in New York visiting my brother Karl and his family. I had so much fun! I got to play with two of my nephews and have many laughs with Karl and Natalie. Natalie taught me some new recipies to make for my roommates and we did a fun craft. One afternoon we went to a Pumpkin Farm. It was so neat! they had thousands of pumpkins. You just went out in this huge field and picked the ones you wanted and they were only $2.00. They also had a little petting zoo type place. Calvin had lots of fun and William got to ride in the Wheel barrol. We also spent a day in Niagra Falls. It was so beautiful! I would recomend seeing it to anyone! We had a lot of fun getting through security at the border. They sure ask a lot of questions! I was also able to see the New York Temple and visit The Sacred Grove. It was such a wonderful and calming feeling. We played the game Life a few times. Unfortenetly I only won once. I seemed to come in last every time! Calvin and I also got to go flying from a mishap that happened on their new slide we put up. Thank goodness we only ended up with a few cuts and bruises. New England is so beautiful in the fall! I would never get sick of all the pretty sights. I am so glad I had the chance to visit my family!
