Per Request of the Krusty-Krust :

So I have been very busy lately as any college student can attest to, and a certain Krusty has been riding me about blogging. So here it is, per request of the Krust. 

I had the privilege of my family coming to visit in early October. They came for their October Break and conference and it was just a fantastic week. They chose a good week because my important class was canceled so I got to spend lots of time with them. We got our Cougar spirit on at the football game, begged for enough tickets to get all 15 of us into conference, heard history making announcements from the prophet, shopped 'til we dropped, played lots of cards and ghost in the graveyard, got leaves in our mouths on the coaster and saw some old beaver damns. A very fulfilling week if you ask me. 

Conference.

My parents and my favorite brother Gus came to visit over conference weekend. Why just Garrett you might ask? Well, we have this tradition in my family that when we turn twelve our parents take just us to conference. I got to tag along since I was already in Utah. 

We had so much fun. They came and visited me on campus on Friday and Gus came to class with me. I treated them to lunch at the Cannon and then we headed up to Park City. To my dad and brother's dismay, we had to hit the outlets and I picked out all my birthday presents. We were feeling adventurous and decided to try out this new Italian restaurant in Park City called Maxwell's. It was very delicious. Conference was great as always.  I enjoyed all the talks, especially Elder Holland's. It was a blast discovering City Creek with my mom. It is the mall to rule all malls. We also taught Gus Rook and drank freshly squeezed orange juice. What a weekend. 

He has officially grown taller than me. 12 year old giant. 

Gus at his first ever Priesthood session. If you look vvvvveeeeerrrrryyyyyy closely you can see the stain on his shirt from P.F. Chang's. He can't resist the Mongolian Beef :)

And on an unrelated note, happy birthday to me!!!!

College is Busy.

So I have been busy as you can tell by the lack of posting... Sorry. So back to where I last left off:  my parents came!! It was so good to see them! Then over the saturday that they were here, I took some friends up to stay with us in Park City. We went shopping, made cookies and ate delicious food cooked by my Dad. It was a great weekend.

Then the next week we got new bed frames! Woo Hoo!! I know we shouldn't be this excited for a new bed frame but it was the most excitement I have ever seen on our floor! They are way nicer now because 1) we can fit way more stuff under our beds and 2) the 30 year old jagged metal doesn't cut me any more! The unfortunate thing about getting the new bed frames was that we had to move everything out from under our beds. And that's a lot of stuff

The new and improved bed!!

Then it was HALLOWEEN!!! They gave us bonus visiting hours for trick-or-treating. This girl named Carolyn who lives down the hall decided to dress up as a sexy bearded bachelor and Nikki was her cat.

She was playing Kenny G and that is her fireplace app a'burning!!

Trick-or-treating in the boy's hall! So fun!

Then we got to hear from the Prophet at Devotional last week! That was supper cool

This is my picture of President Monson. We were is the dead center in row K. very close. He is the big white flash.

Here is a good picture from the devotional. It was amazing. 

Then Nikki got coerced into going on a date with our crazy RA's cousin so we decided to stalk them to the MOA! 

Here is a cool picture of a book sculpture.

And this is Ashley, Sadie and Carolyn planking in the weird Nazi strobe light movie room.

Then we had to deal with the Modesty Nazis!! The building advisor goes of town for one weekend and they plaster posters all over all the halls and the bathrooms and the lobby!

Everyone was really peeved by these and decided to rebel against the signs. They were ripped down from everywhere by the end of the week. Someone wrote on the skirt posters "so an inch determines my salvation". And Carolyn taped these posters all over our hall: 

Then you know that awkward moment when you walk out into the hall and your crazy RA is skipping down the hall in her wedding dress????? If you don't you are lucky.

Yes this was a creepy sneak attack picture.

Then we had a Bridal Shower for two girls on our floor getting married. We used this funny panty poem as our present to them:

Bridal Shower Panty Poem

The Stover girls have a secret to share 

About our little brides

They are obsessed with underwear 

And that we cannot hide

So for our little panty queens

We gathered up some twine
And working as a friendly team
We made a panty line.

Sarah & Merissa, these undies are to last you
All throughout your life
And Edgar & Adam will be pleased to say
They have a sexy wife!

So listen up to hear about
Your lifelong panty plan
These underwear, we have no doubt
Will last your whole life span 

The first are for your wedding day
Of course they are pure white
We know Edgar & Adam will shout, "Hooray!"
When he sees you on that night

The next are for your honeymoon
They're sexy and all lace
We hope you'll leave your hotel room
'Cause California’s a gorgeous place!

On Valentine's you'll wear this pair
Before you hit the bed
Cuz Cupid's arrow in the air
Shoots tushies that are red

After a year has passed you'll face
Anniversary number one
With these you'll surely have a blast
'Cuz leopard's so much fun!

Then when the time is right for you
And don't be saying, "Maybe"
You'll wear your little pink or blue
In honor of your baby

And when your years of wedding bliss
Become the big 2-5
Don't worry - you'll just slip this on
To keep the sparks alive

When finally you're old and gray
With these you can't go wrong
'Cuz sorry Sarah & Merissa but at that age
You just can't wear a thong!!!

Our present doubled as decorations!

 

Sarah's line

Merissa's Line

We love bridal showers!

How do we relax after such a busy couple of weeks??

Make fun of Kass!!! But the face masks help too :)
