Dancin' in Paint and Cleanin' the Sink!

This week was Homecoming week here at USU, which meant that adventures were sure to come! On Monday the Roomies and I danced the night away at the annual paint dance. It was so much fun! Paint was flying around us every which way and we got covered from head to foot! We were right in the middle of the mosh pit, and me being the dummy I am, wore flip flops. If you have ever been in a mosh pit, you know that this is not a wise thing to do! My feet got trampled! I lost half a toe nail, and had big bloody sores and scrapes all over my feet. When I woke up the next morning the end of my bed was covered in blood from my feet. It hurt like heck-a-roonie! But boy was it worth it! I have taken plenty of showers since that night, but I still have a spot on my shoulder that is still to this day tinted blue! Also the cracks in my hands are still blue too! Oh what fun!! Here are some pictures of that wonderful night.....
We Make Paint Look GOOOOD!!!

It took FOREVER AND A DAY to get this out of my hair!
It kinda hurt too!
And took lots and lots of shampoo!!!!
I'm Blue! da ba dee da ba dye

On Friday we decided to go out to dinner since none of us got asked to the dance, and we didn't want to sit at home as losers. We went to Angie's because that is a Logan tradition that we had yet to take a part of. We decided to take on the challenge of "cleaning the sink"....we didn't exactly know what we were getting ourselves into, but we REALLY wanted that sticker!!! Just in case you aren't aware of what cleaning the sink actually is, its where they fill a "sink" full of ice cream, and we are talking A LOT of ice cream, and if you eat it all you get a sticker that says "I cleaned the sink at Angies". I know this doesn't sound like a big deal, but oh my! I have never seen so much ice cream in my entire life! We four girls dug in and got the job done! (And were very, very sick all night afterwards!) Here is some pictures documenting the experience....
THE SINK

The BIG, BIG sink

I Scream!

We All Scream,
For Ice Cream!

We feel sick

They Feel Sick

It was worth it!
Look at that dang awesome sticker!
And boy did we earn it!

Life Savers of the World! .......aka...... Home Teachers!


I got my first flat tire this week. No big deal right? WRONG! I have no idea how to change a tire! None whatsoever! This was such a huge pain in the butt! I had no idea who to call or where to go to get help. I was completely stranded. I ended up walking to work in the freezing cold which was not at all fun! I called my one and only guy friend in Logan, but he was working his other job all day so was not able to help me out. My roommates were out of town. Urgh. It just all around sucked! I guess I did not realize just how much I depend on my car. I finally ended up calling my home teacher (Gee. Why didn't I think of this before??) and he was more than happy to help. He even checked my other tires and told me where to go to get the flat one fixed. (The spare was a really small tire that wouldn't last long) I was so relieved that he was so happy and willing to help. I don't know why, but asking for help has always been really hard for me, but he made it virtually painless! Heavenly Father definitely knew what he was doing when he assigned us all a home teacher! I have had many home teachers make my life a lot easier while I am away from home going to school up here. So basically this is a blog saying "Thank Heavens for home teachers!!!"
