Happy Birthday Kristine

This is Kristine's sister, Robin. I was a little disappointed when I entered Kristine's blog on her brithday and there was nothing there to comemorate this important day! So, I decided to do something about it.
We are so glad that Kristine is in our lives! She has an infectious smile and a go-to/get-it-done/it will-be-all-right attitude that you can't help but adopt yourself. Se is a great example of being a friend to everyone, studying/working hard for what you want and succeeding at it all!
We love you Kristine and are glad you are here to influence our lives.

Sadness

I just realized I take a lot of pictures with my food. I guess I'm just so excited to share what's imortant in my everday life. :D But this time was sad. I thought I perfected making grilled cheese sandwiches but nope. I failed. Horribly.

FEED ME!!!

I was sooo hungry after classes on Tuesday that I made a whole box of Mac and Cheese and ate it all!!!! I hadn't had Mac and Cheese for at least a month, so it tasted really good! :D

Mock Disaster

On the day before Halloween, I needed some service hours for my theater class, so I helped with a mock disaster. For those who don't know, a mock disaster is when we act like a disaster actually happened and have make-up on for injuries and such. Well, I was chosen for a slit throat, so I was dead immediately (supposedly). I was under a table for an hour waiting for someone to come and save me, but since I was dead, they just left me to find more survivors. It was fun listening to all the live people, but I definitely don't suggest being dead. The bus ride back to the HFAC was fun because of all the people's stares and questions though. :D Hope these pictures give you a scare or joy whichever you prefer!

A group of us went to the Salt Lake Temple to do baptisms for the dead and it was AWESOME!!!! The temple is sooo beautiful and big!!! I can't describe it more than that. I took the two pictures below, but I didn't get any more pictures with people in them because my camera was being silly and stopped working. I just wanted to show off my sweet photography skills, so here you are! :D

Food!!!!

I never made Lasagna or German Pancakes on my own before, and I was starving for them (on separate nights)! They turned out sooo good!!!! I brought over the leftover lasagna one time for this pot luck at a friend's apartment and I was told I made "a MEAN lasagna" (quoted from a boy). I am super happy that I don't burn everything I touch! (even though I would still eat it, but it would taste better not burned)

Mmmm....I know you're jealous. :D

I Almost Killed My Teacher!

In my physical science class, we had an experiment to show that force moves equally throughout an object or something like that. So my professor asked for a volunteer and of course I volunteered. I learn best with my hands or visually, so I volunteer for everything. Well, he laid down on a board of nails (underneath the table you can see them) and told me to give him a big iron board. I gently gave it to him and then he told me to grab the hammer and hit him on the board. I was scared out of my pants!!!! When I grabbed the hammer, he said that he never tried this before and hoped that it worked. If he was trying to give me words of comfort, those weren't the right words. I was so afraid that my first real semester at BYU was going to be memorable by me going to jail for murdering my professor. I wasn't too excited. So when he was ready, I barely tapped him and ran away! It worked to the extent that he didn't get crushed, but I will never volunteer for anything until I know fully what I'm doing beforehand!!!!
