Updates in my life

So I haven't blogged in a really long time.... I credit that to school....and life in general... it can all be very busy and stressful-especially as you grow closer to the end of the semester. So instead of doing something productive, like studying for my test tomorrow, I am just doing a quick update on my blog. First off, the below picture represents what I want to do, i'm sure many of you do too. 
Second, I just want to say that I loved the movie "This Is It" -the Michael Jackson one. Like really yeah he may not have been the greatest guy in the world, but he was an amazing performer! I wish he could have done his final tour, it would have been amazing! Although I know I wouldn't have been able to see it cause it would cost so much money, so in a way this was good, I kinda got to watch what it would have been like. Seriously though I suggest that everyone should see it, especially if you love performances and dancing and Michael Jackson's amazing songs! 
Next, a lot has happened since I last blogged. Basically though this is my third year at BYU and I love it! My classes are going well and I love my major, which is recreational management. I put together an event here called Mr. BYU, which is just a humorous take on pagenats for guys at BYU. Actually, the theme was MJ, but that was decided before his death. It took up a lot of my time but it was way fun. The event went really well and I hope to be in charge of it again next year. -Oh and I turned 20 on October 2oth, the picture below was on my birthday :)
So my big news update is that I am taking a 9 month maternity leave....just kidding! But I am leaving this January to move down under to the Sunshine Coast in Australia. I will be there for 6 months working and then I hope to do the study abroad in Guadalajara-hopefully it won't get cancelled again because of the swine... So basically I won't be coming back to the states til next fall. Lauren will be joining me in the summer though so that will be fun!
Oh so some other news in my life- my family got a new dog at the end of the summer. He is a German Shepherd and his name is Zeek. He is a monster, he chews everything and is growing so fast and is so so so strong! We all love him though and its fun to have him around. This picture is when we first got him, he is like 10 times bigger now! (I'm not kidding)
At the end of the summer I cheered at the Wasatch Alumni football game. It was a big deal because it was the high school's centennial and the dedication of the new high school. It was fun to cheer again, and this time Christina and I got to cheer together!
My family took some family photos this fall. Don't we look great?! 
This year my friends and I were on a flag football intramural team. We were the Maneaters! It was so much fun. We even made it into tournament round. Next year we will take the shirts!
