Hello!
Well, today is a GREAT day! The only thing that could make it better is if the wedding dress I bought off ebay came (which it won't... the mail already came for today). I'm really hoping it comes by Friday (or even Saturday afternoon) because I need to rip it up so I can be Emily from the Corpse Bride. :P
Well, it seems like lately all that's been on my mind is makeup, makeup, makeup. My makeup class is going fantastically well, I'm still loving it, and I just had my graded putty project (in which I turned myself into an elf). And since Halloween is coming up and people have SEEN me with my elf makeup, I've now gotten several requests to do Halloween makeup. I should charge them. :P My makeup teacher, Haleh, says that instead of charging, we should just make them buy the makeup for us and then keep it to build up our kits. Which is a fantastic idea. :)
So it looks like I'll be doing at least three of my roommates, as well as Nathan's roommate, Tom (whom I've never met, but we've now texted each other back and forth a million times to figure out what I'll be doing :P). He wants me to turn him into Sean Connery. So that'll be fun. :) Then I've got myself to do, so that makes a total of... 5 people to do on Halloween. Not bad... but I think I'll have a hard time getting my roommates to fork over the money to buy the makeup and then let me keep it. :P Then again, I don't really want to use my OWN makeup, because I'd like my kit to last me through all 3 makeup classes, and it takes quite a bit of makeup to do that many faces.
Anyways, so besides Halloween, I now have to start thinking of a design for my stylized project in class, in which I pretty much get to create my own character and go wild with the makeup. :P
Also, today I just found out that Disney hired me to work this summer at DisneyWorld as a Bibbidy Bobbidy Boutique Hostess! (Try saying THAT ten times fast :P). So basically my job this summer is to turn little kids into princesses/princes. :) And... older people too, if they want. :P I saw a picture online of this guy who looked my age getting his hair braided and sprayed green. It... was kind of funny looking. He didn't look too happy, but his friends sure did. :P So I'll be working with makeup and hair this summer...
And then tomorrow night I get to register for my classes for next semester, and I'm signing up for the next makeup class, TMA 367, in which we get to do prosthetics. So we get to make molds of our faces so that we can totally alter them and turn ourselves into, say... orcs from lord of the rings. :)
Ah... today is a good day. :) I didn't even mind my biology class (which is my most hated class this semester) because I'd just found out I'd been hired. :) It's also started snowing, which is AWESOME! Yesterday it was the first snow in Provo, and today it's SUPER windy.
And tonight I'm going to the international cinema to see Vampyr. Hopefully Mal and Mack can come (although it's sounding like Mal's not gonna budge--she insists she has a ton of homework :P). So it may just end up being Matt and me. But I think Mack might come... depends on how late she and Krista get back from the Temple.
Last night, Mal, Mack, and I went to see Nosferatu in the international cinema, and MAN was that a snore! I swear, there was a ten minute shot of the sky turning to night. I slept through a lot of it. :P
As for the weekend... well, a lot of what we had planned didn't happen. At least not for Somers and I. We went with Matt and Scott to watch The Prestige in their tent, but it ended up being so noisy over there (people started up a game of football in the deserted parking lot, right next to their tent), so we watched it in Scott's car (which was CRAMPED. but it was a good thing we moved there, because it ended up raining. :P). By the time the movie ended (or rather, by the time my computer died, which was at the most CRUCIAL scene! :P), it was already 2:30. Somers was so loopy and out of it that she got herself wedged in the small space between the back seat and the front seats on the floor. :P So that took some time, waiting for her to get herself out of there. So by the time we got back home, it was 3 AM (which last year was nothing, but this year... man. We're like old timers by 3 AM :P), and we just collapsed. We decided there was no way we were going to be able to wake up in 3 hours to go plant bulbs in Temple Square, so we slept till 9, then got up and started immediately cleaning till 10. Then we both collapsed on the couches and fell asleep, only to be woken by a canon shot near our apartment. Apparently the homecoming parade was happening on the street that crosses ours, so they were like, right outside our window. :P Unfortunately, there were trees blocking the way, so we could only HEAR them. Which made us extremely jealous for all the people out there watching the parade, while we were inside, looking like death, waiting for our cleaning check to happen.
Eventually we made breakfast and invited Scott and Matt over (since they hadn't eaten and had gotten less sleep than us), and after a nice pancake and egg breakfast, we all picked a couch and promptly fell asleep. It was like a group nap time. :P It was the first time I really noticed how many couches we have (three), because we each got our own couch, except Matt, who was in my chair, which is still comfy, but he ended up moving to the floor to sleep because his neck brace was bothering him in the chair. :P And... we all just passed out immediately. Then we were all startled awake by Scott's phone ringing, and Jordan showed up and we all just kind of dozed off/mumbled to each other/stared off into space. We were really out of it. :P
Then later that night was the homecoming game (which was ABISMAL!). Mack, Matt, and I ended up leaving at the beginning of the 4th quarter because it was so awful. Also, it was really cold. Aaaand... then... that night Somers and I went to Coventry and we watched Drag Me To Hell (which sounds way worse than it is. It's SUPER funny :P It's a horror comedy done by the guy who made the Spiderman movies, and it's basically about this girl who's been cursed by some old gypsy woman because she denied her a loan at the bank :P).
Then Sunday was... well, Sunday. I went over to Coventry that night and watched The Last Starfighter with Scott, Jordan, and Matt, which was fun. It's a super cheesy 80s space movie, which was awesome. It's about this guy who lives in a trailer park and beats this game called Starfighter, which turns out to be this like, initiation test to become a real intergalactic starfighter. :P
And... then... what I've already said from earlier this week. And... now apparently I'm going shopping with Tom (the guy I've never met) on Friday to get all the makeup I need to turn him into Sean Connery... and... yeah. I'm still not sure what our Halloween plans are... as far as I know, we HAVE none. :P All I know is that I'm helping people get READY for Halloween. :P I think we talked about going trick-or-treating around the residential area in Provo, cause we really want free candy. :P
Anyways, I think that's about it. I'll update again later when I have more news :)

Busy Busy Busy!!!
Hallo!
Well, I may not have time to finish everything I want to say in this post because we've got a busy weekend ahead of us! But I shall try. :)
I'm off the pain meds for my teeth (whoohoo!) and then promptly got sick. Boo... :P But it wasn't too bad, just a bad cold, not the swine flu or anything, so no worries. I could still pretty much function (except in the mornings, because those are hard enough when I'm NOT sick :P), but I had a couple professors tell me to stay home, just in case. So lately I haven't been going to classes much, only a few. With half the school sick, professors are a lot more willing to keep you out of the class and help you make up your work later. :P
The Coventry boys have been watching movies in preparation for Halloween, so we've watched the House on Haunted Hill, Dracula (the old black and white from like, the 50s), Psycho, etc. Tonight we're going to try to watch Ringu, the Japanese movie that inspired The Ring (which was a JOKE. I laughed through that entire movie :P). The International Cinema is playing a bunch of movies for Halloween, so that's where we're gonna try to go tonight. They're also showing Nosferatu next week, along with Let the Right One In and Vampyr. And we watched Haunting In Connecticut (which was disappointing... I'd heard it was pretty scary but ended up thinking of a Book of Mormon lesson I had last semester in the middle of it... you know it's a badly made movie when it can make me start thinking of gospel lessons in the middle :P). We're wanting to watch the Sixth Sense sometime this weekend, but we'll see if THAT happens, what with everything else we have going on.
Also, Matt (from Coventry), got his halo off! I can't remember if I mentioned his halo... well, he broke his neck at Lake Powell this summer and had to wear one of those huge metal braces that's like, screwed into his head. And he just got it off this past Monday! He looks really different with it off, which is funny, cause... it's not like it blocked his face or anything. :P But now he just has to wear a small neckbrace (which he can remove) for another 3 weeks or so and then he's all set. He's got four little red scars, two on either temple and then the other two on the back of his head, where they screwed the brace in. He showed us the screws they used, and WOW they're sharp! He also said they didn't give him anything for pain when they took the screws out and that it didn't hurt, but he could feel them twisting the screws and could feel it in his head. Blech... so weird. :P But he's happy he gets to take showers and wear shirts he can pull over his head and rinse his mouth in the sink again. Oh, and turn his head. That's a big one. :P
Aaaand... oh, for our Activities Committee, we have this ongoing competition right now that's pretty fun. It's a pumpkin stealing contest. Everyone was given two small pumpkins, and the objective is to steal the pumpkins from other apartments and have the most pumpkins in the end. Whomever wins gets a $100 gift card to a restaurant, second is $50, and third... gets... $25 I think? Or maybe it's just candy. :P Anyways, its pretty fun. Unfortunately... both of ours got stolen like, ASAP. So.... we have none now. :P One was by my VISITING TEACHERS. So mean... I was lulled into a false sense of security, thinking they were being all good and nice, teaching me a lesson and chatting... and then as they're leaving they just snatch it and run! And the other was taken by one of Sarah's friends, Trevor. I don't know HOW he got it out, because we had it tied to our spice rack, but somehow he managed to get it out and run in the few seconds we had our backs turned.
And... well, that's about all I can remember for now :P This weekend is going to be a lot of fun. But we've got so much planned that now we have to pick and choose, and decide which things we'd rather do, which is kinda sad, cause we want to do it ALL! :)
We're going to celebrate Julie's birthday belatedly today. We've all been super busy and haven't had a chance to get together to have a party, so we're going to do that. And we also want to see Ringu tonight, which is in the International Cinema (which... I said earlier, I believe). And then there's ALSO the ESPN College Game Day going on tomorrow morning, and people are camping out (in tents and everything) in front of the football stadium so they can be on TV, and the Coventry boys are one of them. They have a 10 person tent, so tonight they're going to watch a bunch of movies in the tent while they camp out and we're also wanting to go watch with them. They ALSO may have an extra tent for us, so we might end up camping out tonight too. Apparently this is the first time in forever that ESPN has held the College Game Day thing here at BYU. And then for tomorrow, not only is there the ESPN broadcast, there's ALSO a service activity our ward is doing at Temple Square, planting bulbs, which we've been planning to do since they announced it. But that and the ESPN broadcast are at the same time... so... we don't know what we're going to do. And then tomorrow is also Homecoming, and its the big game against TCU who totally crushed us in a humiliating game last year, so we'll see how THAT turns out. And ALSO tomorrow, is Dark Water, another Japanese film being shown in the International Cinema that we've been wanting to see. We've heard that one is pretty scary too, so we wanted to go.
Sigh... so many opportunities! We still don't know WHAT we're going to do. I believe Jordan is picking up a tent from his house for us right now, so we could do that... but we just have to decide whether or not we want to camp out or go plant bulbs... which... they do that every year, but not ESPN... but Somers and Mack won't be here next fall, so they won't be able to plant bulbs... Sigh. We don't know. :P
Speaking of them not being here, it's so sad! We all just recently realized that next year, it'll probably just be me, Mal, and Krista during the fall. McKenzie will most likely be serving a mission by then (crazy!) and Somers wants to study abroad in Italy next fall. So she'll come back in the winter, but... I dunno. She may not get to room with us because its just the winter semester and not fall. So we'll see. But yeah, chances are it'll just be the three of us next year. Sad. :(
Uhm... well, it's getting chillier here, which I love. It's been hot for FAR too long. :) Everyone gets mad at me when I start cheering for the overcast weather outside though :P It's still pretty warm--most of the time you can walk outside in either a REALLY light jacket or a 3/4 length sleeve. Unless you're just a space heater like Mack, and then you can walk out in shorts and a t-shirt, but that's just her. :P But I'm excited to bring out my winter wardrobe--most of my clothes are still in boxes shoved under my bed or in the storage closet because I have too many to fit in my closet and I haven't needed any winter clothes yet. A few weeks ago it snowed on the mountains behind us, and it's rained a few times on campus, but it always clears up and gets sunny again. Today's a pretty nice day--its sunny, but there's a cold wind, which I like. :)
Anyways, I think that's about everything... my makeup class is going really well. We've finished middle age makeup, and now we're working with putty to make fake ears, noses, chins, etc. Or wounds. Half the class is doing wounds and the other half is doing more fantasy-type makeup. Of course, I'm in the fantasy half. :P So for my graded project, I'm making myself an elven princess (which you can see pictures of on Facebook... but that's not the final product. I only have one ear done in that, and I'm going to do my eyes differently). Its fun though. I get to block out my eyebrows (which actually hurt quite a bit... you have to use a glue stick to glue your eyebrows down flat and then cover them with makeup). I get a LOT of weird stares when I walk back from class lately. :P I'm either old or... have scary, ridiculously high and pointy eyebrows and one pointed elf ear... One guy made my day though. Everyone was doing that awkward "stare and look away quickly when you're caught" thing, and this one guy, he glanced at me and kept walking, then totally stopped and did this dramatic double-take. Then he gave me this huge grin and two thumbs up. I was like, thank you, random person, for openly acknowledging I look like a freak today! :) It made me happy. I was smiling the whole way home and continuing to get weird stares. :P
It's cool because I'm doing the makeup for the Pardoe theater, so it has to be seen 30 feet away, so it's more dramatic than for film. So from far away, I made it so that my face is narrower and pointier, and that my nose is a lot thinner, and I also changed the shape of my lips. I blocked out parts of my bottom lip and made it smaller and thinner. It's.... pretty cool. Not gonna lie. :P My face looks so much angular when you look at it from 30 feet away with that makeup on. Very elf-ish. :P
Anyways, Somers and I are going to head out to get some ice cream! Whoo! I'll update again later when I have more to say :)
See ya!
Well, I may not have time to finish everything I want to say in this post because we've got a busy weekend ahead of us! But I shall try. :)

Drugs and Fun Times
Hello!
Well, I realize it's been a while since I last updated and I apologize... but I've been so out of it lately that if I had posted, chances are none of you would understand it. :P
Well, it's Conference weekend, which is always fun around here. Since everyone and their dog watches Conference, we usually have a big group of us. We've been switching back and forth between our apartment and Coventry 1 (with the 42" tv), and yesterday we were in charge of breakfast and today they made it. So yesterday Matt, Jordan, and Scott came over and we had french toast while we watched the first session, then we watched the second session over at their place. Today Scott made biscuits and gravy and scrambled eggs and bacon, and we watched the first session there and came back to our place for the second session.
Well, let's see, I guess I'll do this chronologically... :P
So two weeks ago I got my wisdom teeth removed. That was fun. :P And by fun, I mean, it actually was kinda fun. :) Definitely was a cause for a lot of entertaining moments. Also, I thought it was kinda cool when they gave me that nose thing that blows out oxygen so you breathe... like in hospitals. I was like, whoa! I've never gotten to wear one of these before! :) Next thing I know I'm in a wheelchair and the nurse is trying to help me step off the curb and get into Somers' car. :P
As far as the pain goes, it actually wasn't as bad as I was expecting. What I WASN'T expecting, though, was the toll the medication would take on me. They gave me hydrocodone, which gave me NO sense of balance, made me SUPER drowsy, and made me kind of incoherent and delirious. So all that week, I laid on our couch in the living room, watching tv and slipping in and out of consciousness. I went stir crazy, that's for sure, but I was so dizzy and drowsy I couldn't really do much other than lie there. All of my professors were really relaxed about it and let me off for the week, so that was good. I didn't even have to really do much makeup work. :)
I DID go to the football game the day after the surgery though. :P It was the BYU vs. Oklahoma game, which I wanted to see. So I went to the game, but I had taken some hydrocodone just before leaving and by the time we got to the game, it kicked in, and I got really drowsy and was practically falling asleep on the bleachers. :P I ended up leaving at half time and went home to sleep. :)
Thankfully I didn't swell very much. There was just minor swelling, but you couldn't even really tell unless you KNEW I'd gotten my wisdom teeth out. Now I'm off of the hydrocodone, but I occasionally take over the counter stuff because I have a dry socket... which is no fun, but oh well. I'm back to eating solids (somewhat... softer solids :P). Originally all I was eating was microwavable mashed potatoes. Let me tell you, I NEVER want to eat those again. Blech. After eating them for a week straight (with an occasional bowl of mac 'n cheese or some pistachio pudding :P), I am DONE with fake mashed potatoes. :)
Hm... what else? Well, last night during the Priesthood session, Somers, Mal, and I went out to dinner. We got all dressed up and went to Shoots (the restaurant the Chaos used to own), which was really good. Then we came back and watched Wolverine at Coventry 1. Tonight we'll probably head back over to Coventry 1 for another movie, cause they have Sunday Night Movies. :P They've been doing old horror movies since it's now October, so the other day we watched House on Haunted Hill with the commentary by some guy from Mystery Science Theater. It was really funny. We were laughing pretty much the whole time, because, well, you can't help but laugh at the old black and white horror films. They're just so cheesy! :) Especially with the commentary--he would point out all of the obvious "no duh" moments in the movie. :P
Mal and I have also been taking advantage of the International Cinema. We never went last year, but this year we discovered just how awesome it is. It's free and they show international movies during the week. We went and saw Pan's Labyrinth a while ago, which was really good, and we just saw Crossing, which was a Korean film. That one was really good too, but really depressing... It's one of those ones that tried to portray how hard life is in North Korea and the struggles they have with the government and trying to escape and stuff. Definitely a downer, but really good. It kind of reminded me of Seven Pounds, with how it's such a good movie but leaves you horribly sad. :P
We also know our FHE group now. We've only had two FHEs together, but I really like our group. Somers is our FHE Mom, and a guy named Steven is our dad. All of the people in our group are really cool and nice, lots of fun to hang out with. Sarah already knows some of them from the ward from spring/summer, but most of them are new. One guy is actually the older brother of someone Krista went to high school with, which is kind of funny.
Anyways, I think that's about it... my makeup class is still my favorite :) It's going great. We just did our glamour makeup section, and next we're moving onto middle age, which should be fun. I tend to look freakish while walking home from that class. :P The best was our practice day for glamour makeup because we all did half of our face one way and the other half another way. :)
I uploaded a bunch of pictures, so here you go :)
My super long fake eyelashes from makeup. They were like fly-swatters on my eyes. Julie's brother, Nathan, first thought they were my real eyelashes and was like, "That's so cool! Your eyelashes are so LONG!" He was disappointed to find out they weren't real. :P
You can't really see it... but this was my glamour makeup for the De Jeong Concert Hall. You're supposed to be able to see it from 90 feet away. I managed to change the shape of my nose and make my cheeks a little narrower, which you can't tell in this picture. :P
This is the BYU vs. Utah State game that happened this past Friday night. It was REALLY cold. :)
Mack's a weirdo. :P
That's not some random guy making faces at us... :P That's Tygen, Somers' cousin. He sits with us at football games.
Julie, Alan, and Nathan's tickets happened to have seats right next to ours for the BYU vs. Oklahoma game, so we all got to sit with each other. :) Also, this was the day after my wisdom teeth were removed, so in all of the pictures of me, I look kind of out of it. :) I couldn't smile very wide and I definitely look like I'm on drugs. :)
Mack said something funny and I started laughing hysterically. The hydrocodone made me delirious and I was super giggly the entire time I was taking it. :P
Yeah... I could NOT get a good picture of myself with Krista. :P
Somers looks so cute and I... look so out of it... :P
Once again... Mack is a weirdo. :P
BYU vs. Oklahoma.
Alan was my male model for makeup when I was doing male corrective youth makeup. I did his makeup for the Margettes theater, which is like the equivalent of film makeup. It's super light and has to be natural looking if you're just standing there talking to each other. I think I did a pretty decent job :) Basically I just had to get rid of the redness in his skin (which he has a LOT of) and then I defined his nose, cheek bones, and jaw :)
We had a half-birthday celebration for Sarah, Jason, and Mal. Originally it was supposed to be a competition to see who could make the biggest ice cream cone, but that didn't work very well. :P So we gave them scoops of ice cream and shoved a bunch of candles in them. :P Oh, and Jason is from Windsor Arms 10. He's Mack's home teacher, and he and Joel (his roommate) hang out with us frequently.
Julie and Alan's wedding! She looked so pretty :)
They had to sit there posing while kissing for a while so people could take pictures :P
The front of her dress :)
Julie and her parents...
The two of them coming out of the temple. We watched like, four other couples come out first, and Julie and Alan definitely looked the happiest. :)
Well, I think that's about all! I'll update again when I have more to say :)
Well, I realize it's been a while since I last updated and I apologize... but I've been so out of it lately that if I had posted, chances are none of you would understand it. :P
Well, it's Conference weekend, which is always fun around here. Since everyone and their dog watches Conference, we usually have a big group of us. We've been switching back and forth between our apartment and Coventry 1 (with the 42" tv), and yesterday we were in charge of breakfast and today they made it. So yesterday Matt, Jordan, and Scott came over and we had french toast while we watched the first session, then we watched the second session over at their place. Today Scott made biscuits and gravy and scrambled eggs and bacon, and we watched the first session there and came back to our place for the second session.
Well, let's see, I guess I'll do this chronologically... :P
So two weeks ago I got my wisdom teeth removed. That was fun. :P And by fun, I mean, it actually was kinda fun. :) Definitely was a cause for a lot of entertaining moments. Also, I thought it was kinda cool when they gave me that nose thing that blows out oxygen so you breathe... like in hospitals. I was like, whoa! I've never gotten to wear one of these before! :) Next thing I know I'm in a wheelchair and the nurse is trying to help me step off the curb and get into Somers' car. :P
As far as the pain goes, it actually wasn't as bad as I was expecting. What I WASN'T expecting, though, was the toll the medication would take on me. They gave me hydrocodone, which gave me NO sense of balance, made me SUPER drowsy, and made me kind of incoherent and delirious. So all that week, I laid on our couch in the living room, watching tv and slipping in and out of consciousness. I went stir crazy, that's for sure, but I was so dizzy and drowsy I couldn't really do much other than lie there. All of my professors were really relaxed about it and let me off for the week, so that was good. I didn't even have to really do much makeup work. :)
I DID go to the football game the day after the surgery though. :P It was the BYU vs. Oklahoma game, which I wanted to see. So I went to the game, but I had taken some hydrocodone just before leaving and by the time we got to the game, it kicked in, and I got really drowsy and was practically falling asleep on the bleachers. :P I ended up leaving at half time and went home to sleep. :)
Thankfully I didn't swell very much. There was just minor swelling, but you couldn't even really tell unless you KNEW I'd gotten my wisdom teeth out. Now I'm off of the hydrocodone, but I occasionally take over the counter stuff because I have a dry socket... which is no fun, but oh well. I'm back to eating solids (somewhat... softer solids :P). Originally all I was eating was microwavable mashed potatoes. Let me tell you, I NEVER want to eat those again. Blech. After eating them for a week straight (with an occasional bowl of mac 'n cheese or some pistachio pudding :P), I am DONE with fake mashed potatoes. :)
Hm... what else? Well, last night during the Priesthood session, Somers, Mal, and I went out to dinner. We got all dressed up and went to Shoots (the restaurant the Chaos used to own), which was really good. Then we came back and watched Wolverine at Coventry 1. Tonight we'll probably head back over to Coventry 1 for another movie, cause they have Sunday Night Movies. :P They've been doing old horror movies since it's now October, so the other day we watched House on Haunted Hill with the commentary by some guy from Mystery Science Theater. It was really funny. We were laughing pretty much the whole time, because, well, you can't help but laugh at the old black and white horror films. They're just so cheesy! :) Especially with the commentary--he would point out all of the obvious "no duh" moments in the movie. :P
Mal and I have also been taking advantage of the International Cinema. We never went last year, but this year we discovered just how awesome it is. It's free and they show international movies during the week. We went and saw Pan's Labyrinth a while ago, which was really good, and we just saw Crossing, which was a Korean film. That one was really good too, but really depressing... It's one of those ones that tried to portray how hard life is in North Korea and the struggles they have with the government and trying to escape and stuff. Definitely a downer, but really good. It kind of reminded me of Seven Pounds, with how it's such a good movie but leaves you horribly sad. :P
We also know our FHE group now. We've only had two FHEs together, but I really like our group. Somers is our FHE Mom, and a guy named Steven is our dad. All of the people in our group are really cool and nice, lots of fun to hang out with. Sarah already knows some of them from the ward from spring/summer, but most of them are new. One guy is actually the older brother of someone Krista went to high school with, which is kind of funny.
Anyways, I think that's about it... my makeup class is still my favorite :) It's going great. We just did our glamour makeup section, and next we're moving onto middle age, which should be fun. I tend to look freakish while walking home from that class. :P The best was our practice day for glamour makeup because we all did half of our face one way and the other half another way. :)
I uploaded a bunch of pictures, so here you go :)
My super long fake eyelashes from makeup. They were like fly-swatters on my eyes. Julie's brother, Nathan, first thought they were my real eyelashes and was like, "That's so cool! Your eyelashes are so LONG!" He was disappointed to find out they weren't real. :P
You can't really see it... but this was my glamour makeup for the De Jeong Concert Hall. You're supposed to be able to see it from 90 feet away. I managed to change the shape of my nose and make my cheeks a little narrower, which you can't tell in this picture. :P
This is the BYU vs. Utah State game that happened this past Friday night. It was REALLY cold. :)
