Photo Shoots in DC

I am loving DC in the fall! It is gorgeous here, and the colors are breath taking. In the last couple of weeks, I've ventured into the district to walk around the monuments. I love the monuments at night. I especially enjoy the World War II Memorial, and the Lincoln Memorial. Sometimes I stop myself and think, I really live here!! It is fun having friends and FAMILY come to visit, and taking them around to all the hot spots in the district. Adam and I found some great spots to take pictures at the Jefferson Memorial. Why shadows are so exciting, I don't know! Last weekend my dear friend, Natalie came to visit me from Boston. I hadn't seen this girl in over a year! We did what we always do when we get together: chat, eat, shop, would-you-rather, rank order, and prank call. We are very mature. We also participated in a photo shoot at the monuments. We walked, and walked and walked some more...from the Capitol to the Lincoln, then over to the Jefferson Memorial. Nat, it was so great to see you!


Adam is looking pretty buff in this pic

We thought it would be funny to post this picture as a surprise to you all :)


VOTE FOR LINCOLN!!!
Only the coolest pose EVER!! Jeff, I still got hops :)

I. Love. BYU. Football

Dearest cougars,

I haven't blogged about you yet this season. Please don't feel neglected. I don't know why I've been holding out...maybe to allow for more victories to accumulate. I can now brag ABOUT your AMAZING record!! I direct my friends here to see for themselves your 6 (soon to be 7) straight W's. I want you to know I will be thinking of you tomorrow night. If I may offer some words of encouragement and commentary...

* Play with confidence, you're a cougar, not a horned frog!

*Hall, I need you to focus and play the game you know how to play. You've only been sacked once this season. ONCE. I am not sure ANY other first string QB can say the same.

* Collie keep your eyes on the ball. Make every play count.

* I love you Fui Vakapuna. I love saying your name even more.

* If you don't know how to pronounce Unga correctly, just ask JKP (Janice Kapp Perry).

* Limit your penalties.

* W.I.N.

I look forward to spending the evening with you tomorrow.

Your truest fan,

Michele

I LOVE THESE GIRLS!!

You know you are getting old WHEN...Part 2

This is another adult purchase to add to my list! It is much more exciting than a vacuum and ironing board! Thank you Pier 1 for having a sale. And thank you Adi and Kyea for helping me pick this up in the rain! Now I need to work on the wall above my bed! Any thoughts??

Random thoughts this week...

1. I loved General Conference weekend. I was sad it ended so quickly. I came away with renewed motivation to do a little better, and try a little harder. I loved the messages of hope and prayer. I loved how individual and inspired the messages were. I am grateful for opportunities to feel the Spirit in my life. I know that President Thomas S. Monson is a Prophet of God. For my non-lds blog readers, you can learn more about General Conference, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints here.
And how about 5 new temples?! That is definitely something to get excited about. Hopefully I will still be around to attend the Philadelphia, PA temple dedication. I still remember the conference session when President Hinckley announced there would be a temple somewhere in the Tri-Cities area of the state of Washington! Such a good moment!

I was missing the fam this weekend. They were all together visiting my grandparents; stalking my brother on his date :) Brian, you are a good sport! Final thought on General Conference: My friends and I decided if we played General Conference Bingo this year we would add the word: Lehonti (He was mentioned quite a few times!) Overall, a wonderful weekend spent with friends (the next best to my family)!

2. I hate being a girl sometimes. Guys, don't even try to empathize.

3. I am sick of the elections. Can it please be November 4th already?

4. I wish I had Direct tv to watch my FNL friends. I am especially missing Coach Taylor and Matt Saracen.

5. Did anyone see this movie? I went with a few friends Saturday night, and really enjoyed it! I found myself getting a little choked up at the end...you should go see it.



That's all for now!
