Little Ali: October's Festivities

October has been a very fun month for our apartment. First it was Britten's Birthday on the 10th, which was a blast! Her birthday was on a Sunday but we celebrated on both Saturday before and Sunday. On Saturday we went to Guru's, where we ate, and sung karaoke. It was soo fun! When first going into, i thought Yeahh right i'm singing up there!, but after being there in the fun environment, i went in for it. There was no way i did it by myself though, the first song that we sung was "Hit Me Baby, One More Time" by Britney Spears and i sang with Danica and our friend Lon. Then then second song we sang was "Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" by Aerosmith and i sang with Danica, Lon, and Fred. After going to Guru's we had a few friends come over to our apartment afterwards and hang out.

Sunday for Britten's (actual) birthday, after ward prayer, we had people come over and we played a game called Werewolf, which is a game we use to always play in Jerusalem that we had so much fun playing, but i don't think it was such a big hit for this group of kids. We still had fun singing to her with her gluten, soy, diary, and egg-free cake. We also had lots of candy since that is one thing that she can eat also.

Janessa and Megan

Fred, Skylor, and Britten. These are a couple of boys from our ward that we have been hanging out with lately.

Danica and Lon, he is our friend from the ward also, but we probably hang out with him the most...him and Danica are besties :)

Another big thing for our apartment, is that our roommate, Sam, got officially engaged! She is getting married on December 18th in Las Vegas. She has been a great roommate, so i am sad that we either have to find someone or get a random : / Selfishingly, I hope that no one fills her spot and it will just be Britten, Danica, and i, it would be soo fun! We already have plans for the extra room..haha!

On October 19th was Danica's Birthday, which was a great day! We went to Kneader's for lunch, which was my first experience there. We were all hoping for their French toast, but we didn't make it in time! Then later that night we had a big Pumpkin Party, it was so great! We carved pumpkins, ate pumpkin "cupcakes," that i proudly made :), pumpkin pie and lots of candy, and hung out.
