{ I'm an Elizabeth Bennet }

Great news everyone! After taking a short, yet highly informative quiz, I found that the Jane Austine heroine I am most like is Elizabeth Bennet. This, of course, was excellent news seeing as she is poised, confident and funny while still maintaining a kind and loving heart. I was quite flattered at the results and will think of myself happily in this light for some time to come I'm sure...

{ Night of Nerdiness }

Me and Matt went to his ward's nerd-themed opening social the other night. Matt looked awesome (I couldn't stop laughing when he came to the door to get me) and I most definitely sported the most amazing nerd glasses DI could provide. The festivities at the party included a group spelling bee, a math and klingon-speaking relay, Dance Dance Revolution, a twinkie eating contest and sack lunches featuring cheese and crackers, fruit cups and chocolate pudding. I tell you what, no matter what you're doing at a nerd party, it's always funnier. Even just people doing normal things (eating, dancing, whatever) was funnier because they were dressed as nerds. Really...it was a lot of fun. Here are some photos for your viewing pleasure.

Matt looked awesome in my glasses. How could I not love that face?


A bit of DDR on the left and to the right Matt demonstrating that he is the limbo king. Seriously. And, as you can see in the photo, he usually puts himself through a lot of pain to keep that title.

{ New roommates for the New (school) year }

Here we are -- the all new and improved North Downs #2. There's Jen, me, Erin and Jess. We've lived together for approximately two hours, and so far so good. It looks like we're in for a semester of great fashion, dancing and possibly weekly apartment olympics (which I have not yet participated in but am anxiously looking forward to.)
