25th and Smart!

Yes it is time again for updates! There are a lot of fun things going on in our life, well mostly Brent's but it is still exciting. As most of you know it was Brent's birthday on Wednesday and I didn't have time to make a cake or buy his presents until Friday. We had some friends come over to celebrate.

I made the cake but erica, bless her heart was willing to frost it, when I tried the cake fell apart

It is a beauty isn't it!

Brent didn't want a cake... he said it was because "he felt fat" I kinda didn't care so there it is!

I got brent ear phones and a rice cooker!

MOM AND DAD Brent wanted to say thank you for the crock-pot, every Sunday he makes some new concoction, this week it was BBQ ribs! They were AMAZING!

Brent's Birthday Celebration was a week long and worth it! The other great news is Brent got his grades back! He is in the top 30% (we think top 25% but they only go by increments of ten) and made the Deans List! Brent is being a little hard on himself but I couldn't be more proud! The most important thing is he kept his scholarship and got one of the top 5 grades in the class that will be most pertinent to his future career! Now it is all about getting a job so if you know a Lawyer or a Law firm that is looking for an intern feel free to let us know!

Oh Winter Time

It is currently winter time in Utah which means Snow Snow and more Snow. This is just bearable for Brent and I and caused us to make and 8 hour drive home from Boise this Christmas Break. Last week along it alone it snowed over 14 inches! Although Brent and I are suffering there is someone who is suffering more! CALIAH! She is having a really hard time staying entertained because she is so used to "hunting outside" she has found a lot of this to occupy her time, which include, hunting Brent and my feet while we are doing homework, sleeping a ton and....

a new and surprising interest in woodworking television shows. I try to change it over or turn of the tv and I never hear then end of it! I just thought you would all enjoy how funny Caliah is... I know I do!

Girls Night!

So as some of you know my cousin Jenny recently moved to Salt Lake City! We have been best friends for years and years and years now and I could not wait to have a fun play date! Well today I went up to Salt Lake and we hung out for an hour and I decided it wasn't long enough. I convinced Jenny to come spend the night with me down in provo and hang out with me and Megan all night! She fortunately agreed! Well we came home, primarily to drop Brent off, and then headed out for a dollar movie... HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL III!!!! It was one of the most amazing displays I have ever seen in my life! It was the profound lines and insightful epiphanies that made the movie so much fun(nier) to watch! Once we finished there Jenny and I decided that we must do something drastically fun, so we convinced Megan to die her recently adorably cut hair. While picking out the color Jenny and I both found colors that we like and so we all walked away with some fun product. Here are some pictures of my process.

This is the product I used... note that it is a temporary color, and will only last 6-12 washes... Don't worry I think it will be a good while before I can really die my hair permanently

Here is The wonderful hair stylist, who was so willing to have some fun!

Putting in the color

Waiting the 20 minutes before we washed it out! I look really really good right here!

This is what it looked like, I really like it! I think it is pretty fun, and once I actually straighten it it will look really good!

Jenny said I looked like a dip in this picture, and that may be true but it really shows the contrast!

Well let me know what you think of it... I know it is a little bit different but I think it is a well deserved change, so I would really like to know what you all think!

Nasty Bruise

So for all of you who are no longer in the great state of utah you may have missed the insane snow. It stared snowing monday at noon and did not stop until late tuesday night. This lead to over about 14 inches of snow and ice. To some this is a joyous occurance, to me it is a miserable set back in my life path. While attempting to walk from my comparative literature class to my english class I hit a patch of ice and fell the most graceful fall that I had ever fallen. Instead of falling over, instead I simply started to slide into a not so graceful split, until my left knee hit on some pointy ice formation and left a large bruise. I was unable to get a good picture but there is a large bruise there now...

Can you see the bump? I can but the discoloration didn't really start until the next day!

Look forward to my Friday night blog, I will be doing a day in the life of Mallory Forsberg-Huntley... It should be an intersting post with pictures of my daily happenings and occurances!

Remembering a Better Time

Note: I did a really Bad job of taking relevant pictures so I stuck in random ones for you to enjoy... Sorry for the Lame post but this is more for me than anyone else... Either Tomorrow or Wednesday will be a lot of fun, so stay tuned!

It is back to the grind for the Huntley Family as we began school today. This has come as an utter surprise to both Brent and I. Of course we have seen this coming, I mean we do own a calender, we both just feel a little unprepared for the semester to begin so close. As I attended the last first day of my undergraduate career I realized how badly I no longer wanted to attend college. Fortunately I do not follow every wimb I get a resolved to finish out this last semester but I thought it would be fun to reflect on some of the highlights of the Christmas Break!

This is The Historic London Bridge at night! Pretty Beautiful Huh!

Brent and I went to Boise for the first week! We had a lot of fun just relaxing and not worrying about any upcoming due dates or work issues! Brent's Mom went way overboard, as always, and got us to many wonderful things for Christmas. Some of the Highlights were our new front tires for the car, $50.00 gift cards to Kohl's, a meat thermometer, and my personal favorite... marshmallow guns! We are waiting until Spring to fully enjoy these outside where we do not have to clean up the mess! As we always do in Boise we ate way to much great food and play card games and domino's! I think we have also convinced Brent's mom that a wii would be a happy edition to their gaming system family! Christi, Brent's sister, also convinced me to start the twilight series... well while on break I had to take the challenge!

These Little Lighthouses were all around The Island in Lake Havesu

After a week in Boise we had to drive home. The Snow was insane and took us 8 hours to drive the normally quick 5 hour drive. We had to take a detour which added an hour and then the snow slowed us down to! It was so nice to be home, even if it was for a quick night and we had to trade in all of our snow clothes for our wonderful spring clothes. Early Saturday morning we were off to the airport headed for sunny Arizona!

Look at that Scenery! I like this picture alot
At the airport we meet up with Maren, Blake and Most importantly BRADEN!!! (who is lovingly nicknamed "The Potato!" The flight was short and Brent and I were very impressed with Jet Blue, for their free TV and leg room! The flight was quick and then we meet up with Parents in Vegas. On the way to Lake Havesu we had to stop at the Hoover Dam.

We mainly just relaxed and I dove into the twilight series, determined to finish it before I had to go back to school. Luckily the many Bowl games kept Brent occupied and I was left fairly uninterrupted. Everything seemed to be as sunny as the weather outside until Sunday night... It was 3:00 am and I was up, throwing up! Luckily, Blair was right along with me, and Kalen woke up long enough to hold my hair (thanks sis!). This sickness was only 24 hours and the worst part was throwing up and not being able to sleep. This circled through the entire family ending with Brent who missed out trip to historic route 66, where we witnessed a shoot out and a real shot gun wedding (I know there should be pictures accompanying this but Brent is the one that is good about that not me!)

This is the Non-Touristy Dam, Brent has all the other Pictures on his computer so I will have to steal them soon!

Just as everyone was feeling better.. it was time to leave! My parents left on Friday which gave Maren, Blake, Brent and I time to explore a little on our own before heading home the next day... Here are some pictures of a Local non-touristy Dam and the London Bridge at night! Sorry that this particular Blog was not much fun, but I will be giving you are great one either tomorrow or Wednesday...
