Backstory time! Over two years ago two of our really good friends Jen and Lance Empey got married. I have known Jen since I was 17 and we both started dating our husbands around the same time. We would go on double dates whenever I came up to Orem and we all got along really well, which Jen and I both loved. When Jen and Lance got engaged she asked if I would be a bridesmaid and of course I said yes and Brandon and I made plans to make sure we would be up there. On the day of the wedding I let Jen know that whatever she needed help with Brandon and I would be happy to do whatever she asked. She actually did ask us if we could go buy some goldfish that would be put in flower vases which were the centerpieces at the reception. We ended up buying I think close to 20 fish and I thought they looked really nice with the centerpieces. On that day Brandon decided he really wanted to buy a fish so a couple of weeks later I went with him to Walmart to buy a beta fish and over two years later this fish is still alive.
Brandon named him Fishy (creative, I know) and Fishy has gone through a lot. First off, when Fishy lived at Brandon's, Brandon wasn't very good at taking care of him (such as cleaning the bowl and feeding him). When we got married we came up with a system to take better care of him, but still Fishy has survived when we leave him to go on vacations and such for days at a time. Here are some pictures of our first pet:
On to the next topic...this semester Brandon has been really busy with his courses and him and some classmates have made a study group. They meet a couple times a week for sometimes for like 5 hours. One of the members in the group is in our ward and I am friends with his wife. Her name is Randee and I actually consider her one of the first friends I made in my ward. Well we decided that we should start hanging out during these study groups if we didn't have too much homework. So far we have only hung out once, but it was a lot of fun. One of her other friends came over and we actually did a Halloween craft. We made a pumpkin by using toilet paper, newspaper, material, and cardboard. I though it turned out really cute:
