finally, something to report

First i need to recognize and praise my lovely, wonderful, intelligent older sister Mandy. i have recently needed to write some essays for my BYU application and scholarships. as many of you probably know, i am not good at that sort of thing. so i turned to my hero, Mandy, to come to my rescue. And, being the amazing charitable person that she is, she did just that. i will always love her for what she has done for me :) and for who she is :)

Ok, on to what the pictures are of. There is a show, "Top chief". my roommate Dan is really into it and has passed that interest on to me. so for the last few months we have met at a friends house and have watched it as a group, every Wednesday. yesterday was the final episode this season. So we decided to have a little competition of our own. we all made a little something and brought it to eat before the show.

This is just a shot of some of us setting up before the big dinner.

in the back you will see two pans. in them are turtles with mom's seven minute icing on them, (i thought they were amazing!!!) i also made one of Niki's toffee cheese cakes, it you can see that.


There were a lot of really good food. after we all had had as much as we could fit, we all decided that there was no way we could pick a winner. so we all won :)
as for the show, it was good. the person i wanted to lose lost :) i say that because i didn't care who won as long as he lost. That sounds kind of bad but it is true.
the moral of the story is, good food makes any good thing great!!!

Remind me to show you my gesticulation when I say that someone is "the bomb." You can go emphatic with it and us eyour whole body or use just your hands.

Anyway, I think Mandy fits the bill!

Our favorite show is The Biggest Loser..ironical, isn't it?

So really it was Mandy who got accepted to BYU? I'm so confused! No, really that was nice. We all need help in certain areas. And now that you mention it, she helps ME with some of them too. Looks like you and your friends have a lot of fun. Puts my popcorn and soda snacks to shame. Miss ya!

Darren! Oh how I've missed our late nights at Wendys... our poking fun at each other and the Darren/Charlie fights... Lol. How are you!!! Great now that you have been accepted to BYU I see! Congratulations! Nice to see you alive and kicking finally. I saw you once at the singles ward in CDA that Grant use to go to and I tried to grab your attention but I don't think you recognized me. It was right after you got home. You look good! Keep it up kid!
