UTAH vs. BYU

Utah may have lost down at the LaVell Edwards Stadium, but here at the Van Ness UDC soccer feild, we rose triumphantly beating the BYU interns in an intense game of flag football the weekend prior to Thanksgivng. Thanks to Utah intern, Taylor Morgan, we held and hosted the first annual flag football game and hope to be able to continue this tradition in the semesters to come. BYU was a good sport and even though they lost, they still shared cookies and a few phone numbers with us after the game ;) Representing the Ute women were Randi, Erin, Emily and myself...boy did we get a lot of playing time. Randi was laid out by one of the interns and I collided with another, giving us major headaches for the remainder of the game... we still won :)

UTAH!

Thanks to my wonderful friend, Jules, I was able to fly home over Veteran's Day weekend to spend a few days with my cute mom and sisters. From left to right; Natalie, Aarika, Mom, Alise and ME! Boy did we have a good time! We also cooked a turkey Sunday night and celebrated an early Thanksgiving. Thanks Mom and Jules! (p.s. nothing beats the Utah mountains!)

Southern Virginia

This post is a little out of order, but I completely forgot to include it. My roommate Randi and I took a train down to Buena Vista (pronounced byoona vista by the locals) the tiniest college town where everybody knew everybody's business. Shea drove us through main st. the whole 100 yds of it and I couldn't help but notice the Welcome to Buena Vista sign Population 6000 and 3 drunks. I was definitely far from D.C. We came down to see Shea and Graham play in their homecoming football game and ended up having a blast! They won their game with two amazing touch downs by Shea and Graham...just for us :) Then later, we crashed their homecoming dance which gave me flashbacks of high school dances. Everyone we met was really nice and I almost grew envious of the small town life. Living in D.C. gets a bit too much for me. The photo below is in Panther Falls near Shea's house and at the game is Craig (Shea's awesome roommate) Me (Shea's awesome friend) Randi and Chelsea (two awesome girls ;) I hope you all find the humor in that. Anyhow, it was a really fun weekend! Thanks boys!

Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! This year I only spent $14 on a sheet and some paint to make up my Greek goddess costume, what a deal! Emily was a flapper girl, while Erin and Randi played comic characters- Batman and the black Spiderman. Georgetown was crazy! Not quite as creative as Halloween on Front St. in Lahaina (that is still my favorite) however, Blades of Glory was the all time greatest costume this year. I would have given them first place in the costume contest.
