After Halloween, Talent Show, and Hair Dye.. That's Right

Happy now Mom? I've updated another post...

Past few weeks have been very very hectic, but had their bright fun moments too. Halloween was a blast, but I didn't end up doing everything I'd planned. I mostly hung out with my friend Sara and some of her roommates. We were going to go to a haunted forest, but ended up waiting in line at a BYU haunted house for an hour and a half to get through it in 3 minutes.. but it was still fun. Then we all hit up WalMart and got Ben and Jerry's (by the way, Half Baked is WAY good) then stayed up till like 5am talking and hanging out I think. It was so much fun and completely worth it.This was part of the group all at the BYU Haunted House. Only a few of us waited out the line..

My costume for Halloween was a spur of the moment thing. The Monday following Halloween our ward was having a talent show and me, my friends David and Ben were performing a rock song. I thought I'd go for a rocker look for Halloween... thus I wore the second tightest pair of pants I have ever worn in my life, a long chain, and all black. It was interesting, but it was fun.

That's the outfit I wore. And here are some pictures from hanging out with Sara that night because she loves taking pictures. But Halloween was a lot of fun. Moving on to the Talent Show now.. and the pictures of what happened to my hair. ;)

We had a lot of fun at the talent show, but I think what could have made it better is if we'd played for a different crowd. Haha. Meaning I think too many people in the crowd were more of the "Hip Hop" fans or just not into the rock song we did. It wasn't a bad song or anything, people just didn't get into it as much. But we had fun, and thats really all that matters, so who cares?

David played guitar (he's absolutely amazing), Ben performed bass, and I did vocals and a little guitar too. David and I want to find a drummer and get a band started for fun. He and I like the exact same music basically, and we can really build off each other when we play so we really enjoy it. The day of the Talent Show I also dyed my hair black. Not as much for the rock look as it was just for fun. I know my Mom's basically against it, but I wanted to see how it'd look. And everyone here has told me they really like it and that it looks good on me. So Mom, it can't be that bad. It'll be gone by Christmas anyways. So no worries. Here are some pictures. David's on the right, Ben's on the left.

Anyways, that's probably enough pictures eh? I like it, and so does basically everyone who sees it and tells me. On a different note, I have two midterms this week that are going to be very hard. I'm missing out on the TSO concert back home. OSU is rocking in the PAC-10 (as weak as it may be, who cares? The best PAC-10 record since 2000, and I wouldn't even think to compare this team to that year's Fiesta Bowl team, so GO BEAVS!) and BYU is still fighting to prove they're a real team... haha. I'm also first in Fantasy Football, so thats pretty cool to me. Poor Jayme's struggling though. And can you tell it's Sunday... I mean look at how long this post is. Got to update when I have time, so it turns out to be a life story.

For the record, I still haven't gone on an official date. I've just hung out with people. Also for the record, that should change fairly soon.

Concerning Grandpa Jay and family matters, I hope and pray all goes well and as according to the plans of Heavenly Father. I know that as long as we continue to do what is given us to do, He will bless us and things will work out. My thoughts and prayers go out to all. The Lord knows what He is doing even if we don't. In this interesting time for both family and nation, I pray that we will be guided according to Heavenly Father's designs. I know I have not been the best at accepting the new President, as I do have "slight" opinions against him. I will try to be better, as most of you know I do tend to express my opinions a little too strongly. I hope that even though I do not approve of all of his works, that he will do what is right for this great country of America. I am so glad Prop 8 and similar laws passed across America. It shows this Nation is still willing to stand for correct morals. Let us stand for this Country. No matter who leads it, work to improve the Nation and to improve ourselves. I hope I can fulfill that myself.

I love you all and appreciate hearing from you. I'm sorry if I'm out of contact sometimes. This is a busy time so I will do what I can. Don't worry about hours you call me at though, my phone is always on incase anyone needs me here or at home. Never fear to call. And Mom, Duerfeldt said he would love to hear more about the Creche. May God bless you all.
