When in Rome...

I hope everyone had a fun Halloween! I love dressing up. It's my favorite part of Halloween. Brad agreed to be a gladiator and I think his costume turned out sweet!

Here are a few pictures of our fun...











Friday night the Petersen's had a great party! We love living so close to them and getting to see them and the Burgess' as often as we do. Aside from hanging out and checking out everyone's unique costumes, my favorite part of the night was tasting all of the potions and guessing their contents. Sarah decorated old bottles with spooky labels and filled them with various colored drinks. Everyone taste-tested each bottle, labeled "snake venom," "human flesh," and other fun things. We then had a contest to guess what was really in them.

Saturday, Brad and I hung out with some friends over at Jenaca and Stephen Jett's new home (which was beautiful by the way). Unfortunately we forgot our camera so we didn't get to snap any photos of the fun. Everyone had great costumes and we competed in various Minute to Win It games! Afterwards we watched Flightplan.

I hope everyone else had a great holiday weekend!

Who says there's no such thing as a free lunch?

Brad and I always want to test out new restaurants, but we're scared to spend money on a new place that we aren't already sure we'll love. So we always end up going to the same three places. And ordering the same three things.

When I hear about free food, I jump on it! I woke up early on a Saturday to enjoy French toast and home-made butter syrup at Macey's grocery a few weeks ago. We also tried to spend the night in the Chick-fil-A parking lot about a month ago to earn free chicken for a year.

So why am I writing this post? To let all my loyal readers (that adjective was exaggerative and hopeful) know about an opportunity to get a FREE DINNER in Downtown Provo tonight or tomorrow night!

The Bradley PR Agency is conducting research for Downtown Provo. If you are interested in participating in a focus group and dining for free, email bprresearch@gmail.com. Hurry cause we need enough time to send out confirmation emails!

This survey is for Provo residents who are between the ages of 18 and 30. It'll be fun. Enjoy!

What's in a name?

When I got married, I took upon myself a new last name, which I might add, I love. Ah, alliteration. Someday I hope to be friends with Marilyn Monroe, Kris Kringle and Ronald Reagan. Now I represent past and future Nichols' and Terry's.

But, more importantly, I have taken upon me the name of Christ. Our discussion in relief society today turned to this topic. I have taken His name upon me, so I hope I am a good representative of all that He is.

Elder Mervyn B. Arnold gave this wonderful talk on the subject at this month's General Conference. It is a good reminder to always represent Christ in all that I do and say, in how I spend my time, in my faithfulness and how I treat others.
