These are the flowers Ted gave me before we went to the Haunted World with my ward. The cup contains blueberries and raspberries, the leaves are peppermint, the flowers are pretty, and the ribbon is held in place with an Argentine coin. He put a lot of thought into this. He's so incredibly sweet!
Anyway, the rest of these photos aren't really in any particular order. They are all from this weekend.
Derek with his football balloon
Teresa Guzman, Becky Johnson's eye, and me at The Pie Hole (a sweet pizza place downtown)
Becky and me in front of the newly remodeled Boise temple
Derek looks like a real football player in this picture
Mom made a candy bouquet for Derek and we got him some balloons to give him on his "Senior Night"
The award says "Football Star." That's all you need to know.
Cassidy enjoyed the megaphone
The cellophane came from Derek's candy and Dad - of his own accord, mind you - put it over his head and walked around like that for 10 minutes
This is my lover Ted. He's really sweet, even if Mom and Dad hate that I have a boyfriend right before my mission.
Yes, I'm still going on a mission. Ted's really cool and sweet and such, and in addition to that, he's proud of me for going on a mission. He went to Argentina on his mission as well, so he's helping me learn Spanish. Just to review, he and I went to high school together but never hung out until just recently. He found me on facebook and we started talking when I found out he had returned from Argentina.
The pictures of the football game were in honor of Derek. It was senior night and so they got on the loudspeaker and told all about his plans for the future and we all cheered. We cheered even louder, though, when he recovered a fumble in the fourth quarter. It was AWESOME!
Becky Johnson, Teresa Guzman, and I are all in the same ward. We have all received our calls to foreign missions and are all entering the MTC on December 3. So they both went through the temple this past week, and so we decided that we should all go to the temple together. It was so fun and a wonderful experience. It was the second time for all of us, and the first time going through for someone else. We three sat in the Celestial Room after the session ended and discussed how we felt and expressed our desires to go to the temple together as missionaries in Provo. That'll be more likely for Teresa and me. She's going to the Dominican Republic so at least we'll both be in the same part of the MTC. Becky's going to Sweden. I'm also so grateful that I'll have so many friends in the MTC with me. I'm sure I'll be homesick during Christmas, but it'll be easier to take when I'm surrounded by friends. Anyway, I'm totally excited for my mission and am trying to get ready for it. Pray for me, please!

Whitney! I knew there was a reason for you "glow" last friday at committees! Thanks for coming to mine. Having you there was such a help (I can use all that I can get)! Cute boy you've got! I am proud of you, he's very handsomely looking. :) Now I just need to find myself a boy, sheesh. They are not very good at asking girls out around here.
Hey guess what. I just went to the Temple on Saturday! So we should totally go before you leave on your mission! I would love to do that with you! Oh my, isn't is it just wonderful!
We put that picture of Dad as our background on the computer. Typical.
