I am going to even go as far back as Thursday to start of my weekend festivities. After my class that night my friends decided to meet up at the Pie. It was so fun! Being just back from my trip it was the perfect reunion of good friends! I was able to meet Shannon's friend Lauren and she is so fun! They also got to meet my friend Raul. It was a night full of laughter and fun...
Friday night was the loan awaited fair! Shannon and Lauren met me at the fair grounds after work. We decided to get some food and head to the rodeo they were having that night. I was so excited because I LOVE rodeos! Does it get any better than watching cowboys? We have fun eating, taking pictures (I was having a chubby night so please excuse the pictures), laughing and enjoying every one's company...
A little blurry, but I still like this picture...
The lights and fun of the fair are just the best!
We saved the best for last and hit up the Funnel Cake stand. It was SO good! Shannon didn't remember ever having one before and I loved sharing that with her! (again, Chubby Jill)...
We were a little excited about the fair! I don't think those lights could be any brighter, but the entrance was so bright and fun...
After the fair we were invited to a game night with some people in our ward. It ended up being pretty fun. I had my first encounter with Settler of Catan (which has more rules to know than worth playing), met a cute boy, loved hanging out with people in my ward (I really have an amazing ward!) and got to spend more time with Shannon!
Saturday I got to watch Trent and Amy's kids in the morning and it was so much fun! It feels like I have hardly seen them lately and it was so fun to play with them. Everyone was in good spirits and played well together and they couldn't have been cuter! In the afternoon I went to my first wheel pottery class (yes think "Ghost"). I pretty much suck at it, but I am really excited to learn and get better. All I need is Patrick Swayze to come help me ;)
After my class it was time for the game! I was so excited as I made my way to Rice Eccles Stadium. I met up with Heidi, Brad, the boys and Jenny and were off to the game. The first half was a little disheartening, but the second half was way fun and exciting (the following picture are from my phone so excuse the quality)...
Jenny was like her own side show entertainment at the game. She was totally loving the college boys hitting on her and enjoying her cotton candy...
Raul met up with us and enjoyed the game (and Jenny's antics) with us...
The weekend just kept getting better and Sunday was a great day! Church was good and again I felt so blessed to be in my ward. I have formed so many great friendships and I am surprised every Sunday how many great people their really are in my ward. 
There were so people their and one of the guys took it upon himself to be our personal photographer and took several pictures for us.

The grounds are so pretty and there is such a spirit there.
There were so people their and one of the guys took it upon himself to be our personal photographer and took several pictures for us. We left the temple and headed to the CES Fireside with Elder Holland speaking. After which we made the delicious Pazookie dessert and had some more laughing with Shannon's crazy "Guess Which Movie" game. I think I was 0-10 by the end. I wasn't very good at it. Ward prayer was next on our docket of fun. I was particularly looking forward to ward prayer with the prospect of a certain someone coming. The night ended up really fun full of Murder in the Dark (literally in the dark in the church, pretty fun) and psychiatrist.
I really have the BEST friends and I am so grateful for them! Pictures are mostly credited to Shannon and her great ability to capture the moment, she always has her camera and I love it!

Jill, You are so freakin' cute! Honestly, you look so pretty in all of these pictures. You are so photogenic. I LOVE your navy stripped shirt - that was a great find, and I think it was a good choice to go with the navy instead of gray. Second, I love your green dress. I've loved and and wanted it since the first time you wore it over to my house.
Looks like a great weekend - glad you had so much fun. Cheers for funnel cake, and hooray for the Utes! I'm bummed we didn't see you at the game. Where were you sitting? We were on the west side, 50 yrd line, almost at the top.
I'm pretty sure I'm glad I met you this weekend and I'm pumped about meeting up again sometime soon!
Well the game was fun and that college boy yummy!
Cute pics Jill. You really are beautiful! I am glad you had such a good weekend. Thsnk again for playing with my kids they have missed you!
Three cheers (or spazzy double high fives) for this great post! It WAS a great weekend, although I've already told you that about a billion times. (probably half of those times were simply in my head). Thank you just doesn't seem to say enough... One of my favorite parts was belting out "Bleeding Love" with you. Could you tell I didn't know about 75% of the words? You were a champ though and new every one. Way to go. Now you just need to name the singer and Raul would be proud.
oh, and you are NOT chubby Jill! No way, jose. Don't even try that one. You're beautiful - even after funnel cake and pazookies!
p.s. That's a REALLY ugly picture of me (the one of the two of us at the fair.) Why did I send you that one? WHY?!
Jill- first of all you are beautiful and even though I love reading your weight loss blog (it's very helpful) you don't need to lose a pound. Also this week I had my first run in with Settlers of Catan and I totally agree about the rules!
I was going come up and visit you during the game but got distracted with that awesome second half. Next time I will.
Now you have me craving funnel cakes.
