Thanksgiving Day

Turkey hangovers

We missed Erin, Brooke, and Nate though!  I'm so thankful to have such a wonderful family on both the Barker and Franklin side.

I Don't Know About You, But I'm Feelin' 22

For the past 3 years Rachel, Tess, and Cara have tried to surprise me on my birthday.  For the past 3 years I've ruined their surprise.

This year they totally helped my sister Rachel pull off a huge surprise.  That night I went out to dinner with my old roommates to the Pizza Factory.  I had planned on going to see Catching Fire with my new roommates (which we did later that night) so I invited CRAT to come in to see what time we were going to leave.  The whole time Rae Fish was texting Chol telling her where we were at.  I walked into my apartment with CRAT and to my utter surprise they had pulled off a surprise party for me.  I seriously was baffled because I literally had no idea.

A couple days before Chol apparently had Rae Fish call me and ask if she, Tess, and Cara could take me out to dinner.  I suspected nothing. Chol then contacted Paige to see if she could come decorate our apartment while I was at dinner.  My new roommates were in charge of inviting people over to surprise me when I got home.

It meant so much to me that most everyone that I love in Provo were there to celebrate with me.  My old roommates and some friends from my University Villa Ward, my new roommates and friends from the Enclave Ward. Even Brooke and Nate came down from Lehi.

I'm one blessed girl!

Senioritis

I can't believe I haven't blogged in 2 1/2 months.  I have to be better, but since I can't go back in time I am going to do what I have done in the past and recap using photos.

My roommate Paige danced in the BYU Spectacular back in September. 

 I went to the Lumineers concert with Rachel and her friend Brett.  We had been looking forward to it for months, only for it to get cut short because of the wind after 4 songs were performed. Blast.

 I got to hang out with my favorite cousins on the Barker side.

Our own little Holy War

Grad Fair was a success this year. I work for the best office on campus.

Fall definitely hit Provo this year and Elizabeth and Brad showed their true feelings for the season.

 Tess got engaged on her birthday and we were lucky enough to all be together to "surprise" her on her birthday....although she had the real surprise when she showed us the ring.

Congrats Tess and David

Celebrated Eric's birthday

Carved pumpkins.  Everyone thought mine and Paige's was an electric bicycle.  No. It is Harry Potter

 The PPAC pulled off a great Law Fair this year too.  I'm going to miss not being there for next years.

Halloween 2013

(Rosie the Riveter, Lumberjack, Cher from Clueless, Hipster, and Siri)

Aly had her senior piano recital the other day.  I had to leave right after so we didn't get a roommate picture so I'll post one of her trying on the stunning dress she wore.

Congrats Aly!

Thanksgiving came early this year with the PPAC dinner at the Carlklefs
