Baby Crib
Since the beginning of the semester we have been practicing this tradition-- girls from our tower and neighboring apartments have joined in. About once a week we push our couches together in a certain fashion to form an oversized baby crib. we watch movies, sleep, and eat in the crib for a long time until we all feel so disgusting and homeless that we get ready for the day, shower and clean up the family room. its the best sleeping arrangement we have discovered yet.

Camo Party.
Well Pinnacle (
one of the MANY alarm companies in Rexburg) put on a Camo pa
rty a few weeks ago. It was kind of stupid, and they even asked us to PAY!!! however we avoided the paying by chatting with the guy at the door and walking in. I'm happy we didn't pay because the party itself was stupid. The reason we usually go to those parties is for the FREE pizza and drinks. AND THERE WEREN'T EITHER! The music wasn't that good, and 45 minutes or so into it the power went out. That's when we realized we 
should leave. We spent the rest of the night watching movies in our cam

o gear, most of which I bought at the army surplus store. I LOVE IT THERE. everything is cheap, and EVERYTHING is CAMO! I found a pirate flag for $4.00 and now it hangs on my wall.

The Village People
I know halloween was over a month ago, but I'm playing catchup now with my blog. I'm going to try to get up to date by the end of the week with the recent events and things by doing a blog a day (HOPEFULLY!) Anyway, Halloween was fun we went as the YMCA Village People. Courtney-Construction Worker, Keali-Indian, Paige-Army Character, Kaitlan- Police Officer, Me- Biker (Danielle was suppose to be the cowboy but she ditched us for her boyfriend on Halloween!!!) Check out my SWEET Cougar tattoo...

5 Stars
I love the 
Halloween season. Our apartment has been decorated since October 1st. We've attended a few of the Haunted Houses/Factories/Mills around the Eastern Idaho area but I especially liked Dr. Slaughter's House of Terror. It is an old deserted mall in Idaho Falls, similar to Brentwood Mall in Calgary... Brentwood mall might actually even be creepie
r because the people roaming around there aren't actors. So here is the criteria we have rated other places on- length of line, price of admission, scare factor, and entertainment. THIS PLACE IS OFF THE CHARTS IN ALL AREAS (well maybe not the scare factor) but still, I loved it. The line was reasonable. and there was entertain WHILE we were in the line. Zombies dancing to such hits as "THRILLER" in a com
pletely choreographed dance. price of admission was $5.00, on a Saturday night. (other places are $8.00 on weekends, $5.00 weeknights) the entertain and scare factors were awesome. they had children be
hind an old stores display window singing creepy songs. they had a fun house section with a moving floor and spinning walls full of skulls and bones. And after the whole thing you get picked up in this trolley like bus and get taken back to the front of the parking lot. My roommate Paige and I liked it so much that we gave them our phone numbers for next year to be volunteer creepers!

Well the first block of Fall is over which means so are all the first block sports. I'm waiting for some more pictures to be uploaded by one of my fellow teammates, but until then I will upload the ones I have. We had a good season on both of the teams I was on. Hannah Salmon and I were on an Ultimate Frisbee and Flag Football team. Kandice Palmer was also on the Flag Football team with
us. O
ur team, The Green Beans, an all girls team, got knocked out of the finals in the semi-final round ranking us Third for the season. Not too shabby. Some of those girls were INTEEENSE! Hannah and I had a little play called Salmon to Salmon. Well really it was just I ran out either left or right side, which ever Hannah said, and she threw it to me. We pulled it off in our last game but even with our awesome plays and sweet moves we were still defeated by the Trash Queens. In Ultimate Frisbee our Co-ed team made it to the Championships. Once again The "Eh" Team was reunited from last season. Adding a few new players (Hannah being one of them) and losing a few ot
hers. Our regular s
eason wasn't too hot, but we pulled through when it got to the tournament. win after win we moved up the bracket until our last game where we played the 1st ranked team. we lead the game 6-5 until the last minute when the scored. 5 minutes of overtime were put on the clock and in the end we lost by a single point. The wind was not in our favor and neither was the lack of substitutes. they had 14 players, only needing 7 on the field at a time. They constantly had fresh legs and a height advantage on us. Their shortest male player was still 6'2". Hannah played an outstanding game. She was better then some of the guys on our team even hahaha. I pulled my hamstring in a game earlier in the week so Hannah definitely picked up the slack. Everyone in the stadium was whispering "Who's that girl?!" and I proudly yelled out "THAT'S MY COUSSSSIN!" So although we didn't end up with the most coveted Intramural Champion T-shirt we still had a fun season.
