a very happy halloween
Last night we got dressed up and went to the annual Halloween Orchestra concert on campus. It was so much fun! We went with the Nerdy Bevans. We dressed up as Mario and Luigi. It was hard to not laugh at Danielle & Jordan when they came over. Every time we laughed our mustaches would start falling off. After the concert, we went to G's Dairy for treats and came back to our apartment. I love Halloween.

pumpkins
I love Halloween! To start the festivities, I made a batch of my favorite Sugar Cookie Pumpkins. The frosting is orange kool aid frosting. Delicious.
Tonight, the Bevan's had us over for dinner. After, we carved pumpkins and of course ate the toasted pumpkin seeds.
Christian hard at work carving his pumpkin.
Jordan's pumpkin was pooping.
My finished pumpkin! It's supposed to be Jack Skellington from "The Nightmare Before Christmas."
The finished pumpkins. I did Jack, Christian did Mario (which is so awesome!!!) and Jordan did a scary face.
Christian is so amazing! Mario would be proud.
Hooray for halloween!

Ryann sounds like a boys name...
This semester, I'm in the advanced media writing class with my favorite teacher Bro. B. One of our assignments this semester is to blog everyday. He provides us with daily prompts, and we have to put in 15 minutes of writing. I found my class blog for today was worthy for a re-post to this blog.
________________________________________________________________________
Prompt:"If you wrote the movie of your life, which actor would play you, and why?"
Blog answer: Well, I'd have to choose an actor that has freckles, a bowlcut, and is probably a boy. That's because growing up, I looked like a boy.
I always had (and yes, wanted, and pleaded) a boy hair cut. People use to tell me how cute of a boy I was, and my mom would say, "No...Ryann's a girl." Thanks for the boys name too Mom, that really seemed to help the situation.
Almost all of my clothes came from the little boys section at Gap. I would get shirts that said football or basketball on them. And hideous cargo pants that zipped off at different lenghts.
I loved getting new Nikes at the beginning of each school year. On recess, the girls would be cheerleaders and the boys played football. I of course, would play football. I didn't have many girl friends.
In 4th grade when all the girls thought wearing a bra was cool, I told them, "You're all stupid. And you don't even have boobs yet." Then they told me I was a boy. I didn't care though. Cause I had lots of boy friends to back me up.
Sometimes when I'd wake up, my face looked like one giant freckle. I was covered. At some point they started to disappear. I still have some, they're just not as noticeable on my face anymore.
Finally in 6th grade, I started dressing more like a girl. I still played sports with the boys, but at least I looked like a girl. And I grew my hair out. What was wrong with me? And worse, what was wrong with my mother?
_________________________________________________________________________
I'm in the middle. On the left is cousin Chels, on the right is cousin Genniel. I should also let you know, Chelsey also had boy haircuts. We always did what the other one did or thought was cool. That's why I love her so much.
I apologize for the short paragraphs that might be annoying to you to read. But I can't help it anymore. I've been transformed into a broadcast-journalist-newswriting-maniac. And. I. Love. It.

a much needed update
We celebrated my 22nd Birthday a few weeks ago. It was so great! Christian got me a certificate for a real message! I'm so excited to use it! My sister Stevie made me a cute scarf and apron, and my sister Denise made me a scarf, bracelet and necklace. My MIL Stacy spoiled me! She gave me a candle, sewing stuff, and a gift card. My sister in law Steph got me a scarf and earrings! My mom bought me a sewing machine, but gave it to me early in September for my birthday. As you can see, I got lots of great gifts! On my birthday, I woke up to Christian making me pancakes. Pretty awesome! We got to spend some time together and go to dinner a few times that weekend.
Christian has been riding the scooter to school so that I can drive the pick up. It's been raining a lot lately and the other night, he came in literally dripping wet. Poor guy. I felt bad. But I also laughed because he was drenched.
This is Sam. I met her back in summer of 2007 here at BYU-Idaho. She instantly became one of my best friends as was a roommate too! I love her so much! She leaves on her mission this week and she came to Rexburg to say goodbye! See you soon Sister Norton! We love you!
