I was trying to figure out what to be for a Halloween party that I went to on Friday night. I remembered that Madison was going to be a Vampiress! I decided that I needed to buy some fangs! I already had a killer dress to wear. I had a lot of fun. There were some pretty amazing costumes! I had a lot of fun.
Some of my roommates!!!
We are so silly!
Me, Zoey and Heather
October came and has gone by rather quickly. I have done much and seen much. I am still working extremely hard and studying at BYU. There is so much to do when it comes to homework. Sorry that I haven't posted much this month. It is crazy. I hardly have time to do anything else besides study and work. My time here has been really fun and exciting. I STILL have not gone on a date yet...way to go KENZIE!!! Trust me, this is not my goal. I really want to go on a date. I actually may or may not have a date for this Saturday with Bobbi Lemmon's cousin. Yes Brooklyn, this boy would be Mrs. Lemmon's nephew! We'll see. Anyway. I am doing well. Here are a whole bunch of pictures that I have taken this month. They are mostly pictures of the BYU campus because that is where I always am.
This is a whole bunch of the equipment that we use at my work. I mainly schedule equipment for professors, students, etc. We also sell software and fix things such as computers, camera, etc. The guys up stairs fix those things, not me silly! Anyways, now I am doing some new things at my job. I am working area 1 on Tuesday and Thursday from 2 to 6. BYU campus's buildings are split up into areas, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7. 7 is where I work on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Don't ask me why they do not have an area 4, they used to but got rid of it. Weird! This equipment that you see here is only a little portion of all the equipment that we use. I have to know how to use, set up, and fix minor things on them. I am learning a lot through this job. It's great!
This desk is where my supervisor sits in the evenings. There are the employee boxes behind there. There are a whole bunch of green folders that hold the logs of all the different areas for the last year or something. Every night, when things on the day logs are completed, this is where we file them. This is a pretty dull blog, I am sorry, but this is what I have been doing.
This is where I sit and do the desk work in area 7 on Mon, Wed, and Fri. It's great!
This is a little pool that they just have on campus. BYU really takes care of its grounds and always makes it beautiful. They have a whole bunch of pretty things like this all over down here. A lot of people will come and sit by this pond to study or couples come down here a lot too! Hehe.
I thought that Travis would like this. I was walking by and they wanted people to join the pre-dental club. I thought it was funny so I took a picture.
I thought of Madison and Brooklyn when I saw this statue. There is no other university that would have a statue of a man, woman and child. I also thought that this was funny. I think that people think that I am funny because I am taking so many random pictures. Anyway. I remembered when me and Ba would swing you guys, it was so much fun. I miss doing that, and I miss you guys. :-(
They have these plants ALL OVER THE PLACE!!! It is crazy. They actually are pretty. Everything here is getting really beautiful because of the session. We are having the same crazy weather as always. It got really cold and was snowing for a while. Today, was pretty warm! But hey! This is Utah we are talking about!!!
This is some weird creation of art.
Another weird creation of art!
AND...This is my weird creation of art. Just kidding. This is something dumb that we were doing in stats to see how much weight certain rubber bands could hold and how much they would stretch. This activity was really fun, even though it doesn't sound very amusing.
Finally, last but not least, these last two pictures were taken back in Clinton. I went home for a weekend and I went to church with Maggie and Emily at the singles ward. We got talking about old times when we used to do stupid things as kids. I could tell you all the stories, but you probably wouldn't be interested...they are things that you just had to be there in order to appreciate them. But, here is one of the stories. When Maggie and I would get bored in class, we would rip up paper and then put the paper down this vent that you see here. We made up that a little boy named Alex lived down there because his mother did not want him. We tried to get him out of the vent but could never manage to do so. So, instead, we always would feed him strips of paper. I realized that paper was a food, after seeing Beckey eat it all the time!!! HAHA. Seriously, so silly! One day, our teacher yelled at us saying that we were going to start the building on fire one day if we were not careful. I don't know whether this was true or not, but we decided that it was time for Alex to go away, so we stopped feeding him. We have very funny memories of our primary days!
HELLO ALEX!!! Are you still down there???
To my family: I love you and I miss you terribly!
To my friends: Ditto.
I hope that I will do something fun this weekend because I do not have to work, so I probably will not go home. I probably will go to a couple Halloween parties down in good-old Provo! Maybe, I will get some pictures!

Hey. I just installed a countdown link. Madison and Brooklyn...you guys now can just click on that link to see how much longer until Nan flies into Canada! Yay! Love you guys. I am glad that I got to talk to you today.
Here are some pictures of the grandkids back home. They look pretty silly. They sure do miss you guys. Abby and Kate always ask about Maddie and Bwookwin! Easton is always complaining that he would have a lot more fun with Madison and Brooklyn here. He misses Halle too! Braxton told me the other day that he was going to learn how to ski and that he was going to be a daredevil and go off a jump! Well, that is just about it. 80 more days!!! Only 80. Love you! Hugs and Kisses. Leave comments if you want me to tell any of the kids something, I can relay the message to them. XOXOXOXOXO
Madison and Brooklyn, I am currently working on a post about the grandkids back home. I should be able to put it up soon. 82 days left for when Aunt Nan comes!!! Yay. Love you guys. I miss you terribly. Kisses and Hugs

These riddles are for Madison and Brooklyn mainly, but others are more than welcome to try to answer them. Some of the answers are really easy, but then again, we don't always seek the easy answer!
1. If there are 3 oranges and you take two. How many oranges do you have?

4. How many animals did Moses take on the ark?

Here Madison, isn't a beauty?? Better start memorizing and making flash cards. Maybe Nan will bring up those twist string multiplication games that Grandma has at her house. I love you monkey face. I am so proud of you and Brooklyn. I am glad that you guys are both enjoying school. It is so important.
This is my arm after the removal of my lump. It looked a lot worse a couple of days after this. It started to bruise yellow and it was all gross for a little while. The bruise is starting to go away. I can take off that glue stuff that they put on top of my stiches. He stiched inside, they will eventually go away. Anyway, I am glad that my lump is gone!
Here is it again. This isn't a very good picture.
This is the Talmage Building. This is where I have all of my math classes. I am here all the time!!!
TRAVIS, I thought that you would like to know that BYU recycles, not only newspaper for they have places that you can drop things off. It is not as of extensive as in Canada, but all the same. They are at least trying.
Here are some pretty flowers. They have beatiful gardens everywhere on campus. I love it!
This is the Y!!! Yah! GO BYU. It is funny that I am a cougar again. I was in elementary too.
Well, I have to go to my Statistics class. Don't you worry. I'll have fun. I got to hear President Hinckley speak at our Tuesday devotional today. He is so cute! I truly love him and respect him. Talk to you soon. Sorry Madison that I didn't have this posted last night. I fell asleep writing this. XOXOXOXO MISSING YOU TONS BUXTONS!!!!!
I was just randomly looking through my picutres on my computer and I saw this pictures and the other pictures of the gingerbread houses that we made last christmas. I got really excited about my next trip to Halifax. Now, don't laugh...because this pretty funny. I was thinking about each of you guys up there in the land far far away and what I would do with each of you, then I realized that there would be another person...I never had really thought of the baby actually being there. I know that seems dumb, but it shocked me. It was like I finally realized that Beckey was actually going to have another baby, not just be pregnant! Well, my first week at BYU has been really fun and interesting. I think and hope that I will like my classes. I have so far. I probably estimate that I am going to be really busy this semester. The Math Education program here is really great! I have had only excellent experiences with the chairman of the Math Ed department and the instructors. I love it here. My job has been really great, there is a lot to learn, but I like it. I also like the people that I work with. Haha...everyone told me that I would be dating someone within the first few weeks of living here...you were WRONG SUCKERS!!! I haven't been on a real date since March or something. I think it may go for a little bit longer. I have this really weird bump on my arm. If you actually look at my arm you can't see it, but when you feel it...it's HUGE!!! I don't know how long it has been there. Mom says that it is a swollen limph node. I am going to have her look at it when I go home tonight. Tomorrow is another one of those days where I will linger in the midst of Pediatric Dentistry! LOL. Well...gotta go. I should really start on some homework; I've have oodles to do! (-Smithers). LOVE YOU MY GIRLIES...I MISS YOU! I, of course, miss you too Beckey and Travis! Talk to you soon.
Well...sorry the appartment is not very clean, but everyone is still moving in. One of my roommates has her sister here because she can't move in until tomorrow at her appartment. So it is a little crazy. My room in clean, of course! Haha. Well, for the most part. Do you like my picture frames? Leave comments please!
This is my appartment number! Wow! JK.
This is my view when I walk out my door! How lovely.
This is All my food! There are actually a million billion things that are hidden in this mount of food that you can't see.
Oh...so cute. This is hung up above my bed, on the side! Me and MY GIRLS!
This is all of the grandchildren in a sort of jig-saw picture frame, it is quite awesome. I love this picture frame! It actually reminds me of the Brady Bunch! HAHA.
This is looking down my hall from my bedroom to the living/kitchen/dining areas.
This is looking down the hall from the living/kitchen/dining areas to my bedroom at the end.
This is the kitchen. I can't believe that the managers of the appartments think that 6 girls can share this kitchen. It simply is too small.
The kitchen table. The table clothes and settings are Zoey's (my roommate). I think they are quite hideous, but I can't tell her that, so I guess I'll let it fly. Oh well. I hope she never reads this. She is really nice, I wouldn't want to hurt her feelings.
Bathroom...there are two bathrooms, so you do the math. Still, three girls in a bathroom...well, I am sure you know how that goes!
Bathroom again, this is a separtate room with the shower/tub and toilet.
And finally, the Living room!!!! Yay, this is a messy picture explained above! It was clean this morning when I left.
Now you have seen my appartment! Au Revoir et bon soir!
