Lava Hot Springs

Well I finished finals! It was an incredible feeling to finish my first official semester of graduate school. Taylor found out that it was customer appriciation day in Idaho and the Lava Hot Springs was free. So a few of us drove up and went. It was a blast and a great way to finish the semester. 

Friends and Family Thanksgiving

Before everyone left for the break, my roommates and I decided to have a "friendsgiving." Not everyone could make it but it was fun to all sit around the table and talk about what we're grateful for. 

This year Mom and Dad came up to Utah for Thanksgiving and the Godfrey's were kind enough to let us join them. Taylor was able to join us for the festivities, including a healthy game of ping pong. 

The girls were able to tie a baby blanket for Megan's baby. It was fun to see everyone together and spend the holiday together. 

Surprise Vegas Trip

 It was a Friday afternoon and I had just finished with my client. I wasn't too excited about going to the library and working on homework all weekend. To procrastinate, I called Corie and during our chat she invited us down. I texted Taylor and within one hour, we were going to Vegas! 

While there, Corie taught me how to cut hair. Let's just say that Taylor was a good sport and too kind to say anything about how he didn't like it. 

Taylor won the hearts of Carolyn and Claire. They gave him a "double kiss." 

Scavenger Hunt Date

On a Friday afternoon I was sitting on my bed when Taylor texted me and asked if I would check if my car fro his wallet. I went outside only to find my car full of balloons. Each balloon had a puzzle piece inside. When placed together, there were clues leading to the library and a specific book. 

Taylor hung around the library to sneak pictures of me while getting around the library. 

Each book led to another book which led to another clue and another puzzle piece. 

This was the last step. It was a huge encyclopedia in a room with a code (Page 248, Paragraph 2, Word 10, Letter 3). The code spelled out "Basketball Game Tonight?" As soon as I finished, Taylor came in looking for an answer. The scavenger hunt and the basketball was a blast.
