Fruits and Veggies

I have started the process of volunteering at the hospital here in Provo and my first volunteer opportunity while I wait for all my paperwork to go through has been with a childhood obesity campaign in Utah's elementary schools. We give assemblies on how to eat healthy and exercise. Then, once a month we come and walk the mile with the kids during recess. Here I am playing a game with the kindergartners and 1st graders on which food is healthier. I cannot wait to actually start working in the hospital, but until then this is pretty fun too.

I am hoping that this will get me into the family calendar. If I can't get in for having accomplished something great, I may as well try to get in by making a fool of myself in a crazy fruit costume. I will go to any length to get into that calendar.

BYU v. ucla

I would hate to be any of the UCLA football players this week.

The Bruins really couldn't catch a break yesterday with a packed stadium of roaring BYU fans. It was an amazing game in which I cannot even describe in words...the score pretty much tells it all. At the half UCLA had -1 rushing yards and the Cougars were winning 42-0.

It was Katherine's first BYU game and I don't think she will forget it any time soon.

BYU

I moved into my new apartment this past week and so far have been very pleased with it. This year I am living with 3 girls I already knew...so no crazies. I have a big room and only have to share a bathroom with 1 other girl (that was a big selling point). It even has underground parking which is great for when it starts to snow every day. Because my apartment is fairly close to campus (about 5 blocks) I have been walking every day. I can see the pounds coming off already!

Last night a few of my friends and I went up the mountain and took pictures at sunset. The valley can be gorgeous at night. I think its because you can't tell how brown everything is.

My 10 Seconds of Fame

Katherine and I were on the Jumbo-Tron a few weeks ago at the Nationals game. I'm not going to lie it was pretty fun seeing myself on a t.v. that big. I seem to catch the eye of people working at baseball stadiums. I was fan of the game at the Frederick Keys game and I got on the big screen at the Nats game for wearing my Nats hat...well Stephens Nats hat, but it didn't matter. We were on the screen for a good 10 seconds! After I was on I got a few texts from friends that had seen me. Obviously this isn't a picture of Katherine and me but it gives you a good picture of how big this screen is. I especially liked seeing myself in HD...I looked pretty good.
