Texas Roadhouse Group Project

This semester I am taking a management class that teaches us how to manage organizations and people. For this class we are put into groups and we have to plan and carry out an event that raises money for a non profit organization. My group decided to team up with Texas Roadhouse, a restaurant here in Logan. Texas Roadhouse donated 10% of sales to our non profit organization. We planned some fun Halloween activities to go on in the parking lot of Texas Roadhouse to bring people to the restuarant. We had a Trunk or Treat, and we had Pumpkin Painting. Lots of little kids had a lot of fun getting candy from the trunks of cars and painting pumpkings in AGGIE colors.

The Narrows!

This past week was Fall break! With the extra day without classes I went with a few friends down to the Zions Narrows in Southern Utah. We hiked from the top of the narrows all the way to the bottom for a total of 16 MILES! This hike wasn't just a normal hike either, it was through a river for the most part. We woke up at 4:30 and began hiking in the dark with frost on the ground and our frozen breath in the air. The first time that we had to cross a river, it was fridged! After crossing the river for the hundreth time, there was not more feeling in my feet which was actually a good thing because my legs were getting soar!

It was so early, I couldn't help but yawn

Sitting on a log! a good break from the river.

Despite all of the crazy hard things that we put ourselves through, it was all  worth it! I would do it again if I ever get the chance. That canyon was BEAUTIFUL! The walls were so narrow and so tall and the leaves were amazing bright fall colors. This midsemester break came just at the perfect time. LIFE IS GOOD!

Open Houses

This week I had the opportunity to go to the Utah State Davis County Open House. We have these open houses all over the state and in several other states too. I have always had a blast going to these open houses. It is so fun to talk to high school students who are thinking about Utah State. I was in charge of getting people to join the Facebook group. You all should join the group right now! It's called "USU incoming class 2013"

Utah State ROCKS! You'll never hear anything different. and if you come to one of our open houses, you can take a picture with Big Blue too.

See y'all up here soon!

Alien Babies and Chinese Takeout

my home remidy collection

  Well, This week has definitely been a little bit of a change of pace. I have begun to pass a couple of kidney stones and so I have spent a lot of time in my house taking pain killers and trying to sleep. Let me tell you, kidney stones are PAINFUL little suckers! I call them little alien babies because it feels like I have a little aliens crawling around inside of me. At one point I looked up online some home remedies to take care of these things and I went to the store and bought everything that could possibly help.
I missed a lot of class, but all of my professors are very understanding.

On Friday night, we had a football game being played at BYU in Provo. Provo is about 2 hours South of here. All of my friends headed down to that game. I couldn't go because I was in so much pain. I ordered some Chinese food for delivery and watched the game on ESPN all by myself. Fortunately I was able to talk to my friends during the game through texting and twitter.

The little alien babies haven't passed quite yet, I can't wait until they do! that will be a relief!
