Thanksgiving Break in the Rupe!

This past Thanksgiving I drove up with my boyfriend Bradley to spend some time with his family in Rupert, Idaho!!! I know you all must be so proud I am dating a good ol' Idaho boy! (hold applause) We had an amazing time, just chillin,eating tons of food, sleeping in and hanging out with the family.

Here we are on Thanksgiving Day!

This is us about to take a ride on his four wheeler! My very first time EVER driving one. I was scared out of my mind because of horror stories I have heard of people and crazy injuries...and we ALL know how Rosie would feel if I hurt myself again! (Love you mom :)!)Don't worry, we were very careful.

Don't I look like a natural? :) It was FREEZING COLD!!

My turn driving...we truly had a blast! :)

On Saturday after thanksgiving, I went with Bradley and his family to their church building in Acequia? Or something...haha. There they had the annual Jurgensmeier Family Christmas party! Woo WOo! It was a good time getting know his family and just playing some games.

One of the games involved groups of four blowing up balloons and putting them in pantyhose to make reindeer antlers. Our antlers (and some sweet moves by Bradley) sealed the win for us, along with some candy!

Me with the cutest reindeer there :) (Don't be embarassed Bradley ;))

All in all it was an awesome trip! Sorry I couldn't come up to Boise to see a lot of you guys, but hopefully I will see you all soon at Jessica's wedding. Yay! I cannot wait to go back to Virginia at Christmas and show Bradley my neck of the woods!

Formal Dinner Date

This past weekend, Bradley's ward planned a formal dinner date for everyone to get matched up with someone else from the ward. However, for those with significant others, (aka Bradley and Marianne) we were signed up separately for the other people. (as to not confuse some cute girl in Brads ward that she might have a chance at snagging him- haha!) We ate in the Sky Room, and it was kinda a downer, but sometimes its just fun to get dressed up!

A Full Family Weekend!

What a weekend it was!! Momma Bell popped into Provo on Wednesday evening for my very first game of the season, and to meet a certain boy i like of course (Bradley) :). After what seemed like an eternity without them, we met up with our favorite friends from Virginia, Erin, Nathan and the kids!!! Boy do i miss sunday dinners and hangouts with them. Then, Cousin Jessica came with uncle ray on friday afternoon was well. We had a yummy lunch at Cafe Rio then went to the mall for a little bit ( um, who doesn't need to go shopping when a momma is in town? :)
Mom and Aly Hota

Me and Kenna Jolie!

Mom, Bradley and I met up with Jessica and Uncle Ray for the Football fireside on friday night where we got to listen to jeff speak. Woo! After that we enjoyed a lovely dinner at Red Robin! MMM!!
Lets see...on saturday, everybody went to the football game. I only got to stop by for about a half hour because I had a game that night too! We played Dixie St. and kicked their trash by about 30 pts. I even got some solid PT! Four mins??? haha. It was fun to have such a large fan club at the game. After that we all went to olive garden and sat there talking and just having fun for a few hours!
Sunday was the greatest day for me! We went up to Park City and had dinner and spent time with the kids! And I truly enjoyed letting my mom, Nathan and Erin get to know Bradley. (I need their input of course! Thumbs up guys???) Here are some pics of us in Park City just playin around!
Bradley and I :)

Jeffy with Crazy Kohen and Kennedy!


I'm sorry but i had to add this! We captured Erin's face in the most priceless expression. Love it! and Erin, you are just our size :) hahaha

Happy Halloween!

So Halloween has come and gone. I went to a dance party with some friends and had a great night! I didn't take a lot of pics but I got a few cute ones. I hope you guys like my outfit!!


This is my roommate Britten and I. I am the Sun! haha :)



Bradley and I...he makes a good retro basketball player...yeah? haha. I thought together we kind of make the Miami Heat...basketball team, the sun...yea!

All in all, it was a great night! :)

..I previously forgot to add that it was Bradley who actually created my sun ray headband for me. What a stud!! :)

Britten's Birthday and Homecoming Parade

This past week was my roomie and good friend Britten's birthday. We had a nice party at her friends house. I made her this cool picture board with help from Shayna :)








It was also Homecoming Week here at BYU, which was kinda exciting. The basketball team was a part of the student athlete float..woo! Too bad it was FREEZING COLD. It was snowing when we got there. It was fun though because we got these little balls to throw out to people and the kids loved it. The best part was one of the girls aunts made all these funny hats and we got to wear them. we looked legit!





We can be goofy, but we always have a good time! What a fun weekend.

The Reveal

I know that many of you have heard from my loving mother, cousin or brother that I am seeing someone new. Yes, it is in fact true. (hold your applause) For your viewing pleasure ( and at the request of my mother), here is a picture of me and Mr. Bradley Jurgensmeier. Enjoy! haha

America's next top Model???

For basketball we have to take all these cool pictures to make posters and calendars and what not. However, this year, they decided to mix it up a little bit. They wanted to show that the basketball team is not only legit, but super cute and hott too! So we had an America's Next Top Model-esq photo shoot.


We all had to wear black tops, dark jeans and high heels. It was so fun! I don't have a really good picture of all of us yet, but I will put it up when I get one. This was the group I shot with. I promise I look cooler in other pictures but these were just some our coaches took with someones digital camera
