I love the covered bridge:)

Don't you just love fall?! It's the perfect temperature to wear sweatshirts and it is just plain BEAUTIFUL outside. Now that I go to Messiah, I'm especially grateful for the beautiful things I get to enjoy on my walk in from the partking lot to campus. This is the famous covered bridge I walk through every day on my way into class:

I don't know if you can see, but in the middle of the bridge sides are two openings...sort of like windows...and you can look down into the yellow breeches. I love walking past them every morning and watching the sun shine on the water....seriously, it's something out of a magazine!!! I always think of "Charlotte's Web" because on the window openings are tons and tons of shiney little spider webs, so intricately designed.

Anyway, fall just makes me so grateful for such simple pleasures! Walking under this bridge starts off my day so well, and hopefully you can find your own "covered bridge" in your day!!!

My new favorite show...

Drum roll please...

I mean, come on, who doesn't like a good reality tv show about crazy selfish indulgent brides with over the top wedding budgets and $5,000 gowns??? It's GREAT!!! This show has been around for awhile, but I just started watching it again because it's on during my breaks between classes. And not only is it totally entertaining, it's somewhat practical...I'm getting some good ideas!

If you're a glutton for this kind of TV entertainment, tune in to the Style network from 11am-1pm...

Ok, seriously, I should get some sort of award for the advertisement I just gave for this show. And to think I did it for free, out of the goodness of my heart....(*cough cough style network*)

Well, here's for a short blog post. Until next time!

And so it goes...

School at Messiah is going well. That is, as good as "school" can possibly be. I made it into the concert choir, which is the touring choir at MC, and i also joined the MCSO....which stands for the syphony orchestra. Here's a pic of the concert choir....I'm not in it obviously...this was last years pic:Both are really good outlets for me because quite honestly I can't stand to be in class for too long of a time! And speaking of that, I even dropped a class because I didn't want to go bizirk at the end of the semester taking 6 finals, so I dropped down to 5 classes. Amen for that option!

This weekend we have our church Stake Conference, and to spice things up a bit we are having Elder Bednar, one of our general authority apostles come speak....can you say, RAD? I'm totally reved for him to come and feel really lucky I am going to get to hear him speak!!! Here he is:

Last night me and mom couldn't stand it anymore and we broke out the christmas movies.... We are total gluttons for Christmas movies and as soon as september comes around we are watching them like crazy!!! And my mom, bless her heart, has had the Mo-Tab christmas CD's playing all thru the house.... I love it!!! My dad makes fun of us, but what do we care? We LOVE Christmas.... even if it is still september.:)
