1/4 Of The Way Through The Semester!

Hard to believe that I'm already a quarter of the way through the semester. Exciting though, right? I just hope that I will be invited back to be a TA next semester so that every semester can be as great as this one. I really am loving school. Surprisingly enough, I am really loving Organic Chemistry. I don't know why, but I do love it. I took my first test and got a 93, which I am very excited about. But anyways, here come some more pictures. REMEMBER ME MY LITTLE NIECES AND NEPHEWS!!!! YOU ARE THE LOVES OF MY LIFE!!!!! Here is Laura (left), Courtney (right), and I at the UCLA game where we KILLED the stupid Bruins! That was really an awesome game though. Even though they just died, it was so fun to watch. Maybe just because it was UCLA. Or maybe just because BYU is amazing :D
Ok... so not the best picture of Jesse OR I, but the sun was so bright and I had to get a picture of us together at this game, and this was as good as it was going to get. I'm just glad I documented that we were together on that blessed day :D
Just love this picture. It makes me smile :D
Here is Laura, Courtney, and I at Sundance when we went when there was a full moon. They let you ride the chairlift for $8 at night when there's a full moon. It was so much fun. We all felt lame because every other chair had some cute couple on it, but we were ok with it. We love each other.
Ok, so here's my FHE family. We took family photos, and actually it was SO much fun. We really lucked out with the guys that we got in our group. They're all really really nice and really fun. Its funny because we got the apartment of guys in which contain the guys that all the girls in the ward have crushes on. And they like to hang out with us... so we like it.
We just had so much fun coming up with really lame poses and funny pictures that we could take. Alright, so left to right we have: Tyler (father), Courtney (mother), Jared, Mandi, Mike, Colleen, Cori, Laura, Bryce, Me, Nate, and Katy.
And I just LOVE this picture. I think it is so cool looking. We took this at the bottom of the spiraly stairs in the JFSB. Fortunately our friend John came along to take the pictures for us. But we all love this one and all (lame enough) put this as all of our profile pictures on facebook. Its awesome. We are amazing.
And this is just a cool picture of all the guys in the family (plus John) jumping off the stairs. Just thought it was a fun picture.
And here is just one of my favorite pictures that I took of Anthony and his wife Tierney. I really really like her. She is so cute and they are just so cute together. But we went up to Bridal Veil Falls in Provo Canyon and took a whole ton of pictures for their announcement for their ceremony that they are having in October. Which, by they way, I will be taking their pictures. The only problem being that Tierney asked me to be a bridesmaid. So we'll see how that works out. I just might have somebody push the button. Or there's always and tripod and a timer. So we'll figure it all out.

But yeah, that's the update for now. I hope you're all showing these pictures of me to my little babes. I don't ever want to have a repeat of Davis and Jackson not remembering who I am. That was the worst thing of my life. So make sure they remember and love me :D I LOVE YOU ALL SOOOOOO MUCH!!!! I also miss you so much too! I love school and this is where I'm supposed to be or I wouldn't be able to handle being away from the people whom I love more than anything in this whole world. And I don't know if I used "whom" properly or whether or not it was supposed to be "who." But Mike, you'll probably know. Anyways, I love you all so much and I have to finish getting ready for church. Hope all is well! Talk to you all later!

Oh yeah! I have a blog. Whoops!

So... yeah... it's been like 5 months. Sorry guys. I guess I just didn't feel the need to update when I saw you guys all summer. But I'm doing it now that I'm back in the bubble, also known as Provo, UT. So here are a few shots from family vacation and then a few from my first week back.

I just love this shot of me and Savvy. We were just hanging out under the little easy-up (which wasn't so easy to keep-up) and we just decided that we would take a few pictures together. It was her idea, so I ran with it :D She looks a little scared/confused, but I still think it's cute. Plus, her cheeks look awesome. So yeah.
I just love this picture of Davis because it just illustrates that he loves the beach, but is just a little terrified of the water, so he just hangs out in the sand :D He's so dang cute! Also, I just love that his life jacket is basically bigger than he is.
I don't know if you can see the bucket on the right, but its there. This just goes to show you the genius of Owen Russell. He is so funny! I love how smart he is. I want to know if any of the adults there would have actually thought of that. He is just hilarious.
So this is Michelle and I at Tacano's BEFORE we ate. Tacano's is this awesome Brazilian grill that's only in about 3 locations is Utah. It's this place where you just sit at a table, and all the waiters and waitresses come by with huge plates of meat and you try all the different kinds. We asked the guy and he said that there are 18 different kinds of meat and then 2 seafood dishes. It's interesting because you get little tiny pieces, but by the time you're done, you are SO full...
Hence this picture AFTER we ate. (Well, Michelle didn't eat the meat, but she did eat a lot of salad and grilled pineapple.) But everybody else had faces like this. We took pictures of everybody that went and their "After Tacano's" faces. It was pretty classic. But it was way fun. Brother Miles was nice enough to treat us all to dinner. It was yummy! We as the meat-eating Dix Family would love that place.
This is Ilarene, Michelle, and I at the first game of the season. BYU vs. NO. Iowa. We won, of course. It was a pretty good game. But the real game was yesterday vs. UCLA (I will post pictures later - I already uploaded this photos yesterday morning and I don't like when they get out of order :D Yeah I know I'm weird)
This is Michelle and I utilizing my favorite feature on my camera. Pulling out the fact that we have Cougar spirit and were wearing white and blue. I just think this picture is funny. No real meaning to it :D

So school is great so far. I am really excited for this semester, I know its going to be great. Really challenging and I won't have a life this semester, but I'm going to enjoy it. I got to buy scrubs for my cadaver dissection lab and it was so fun. It's awesome because I put them on in the bathroom outside my classroom and I looked at myself and said "this is what you have to look forward to for the rest of your life... get used to it :D" But I felt really good about it. So I guess that's a good thing. But I've got to finish getting ready for church, I will update sooner or later. LOVE AND MISS YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!!
