"Nurse Judy! I think I have a problem with my siotic nerve."

Today, like most other days, Emily got sick. She asked me to go with her to InstaCare because she was positive she had a fever, so off we went. Once we arrived the nurse came in and checked her vitals.
And wouldn't you know it, this chick doesn't even have a fever. The moment the nurse leaves the room I started hassling Emily about how it is all in her head and she is not sick. 
She didn't like the sass I was giving her. "It is not in my head, I am sick! Just you wait, if it's strep throat I swear!" Once me and Emily had exchanged a few more sharp comments the doctor came in. He gets right into it by asking Emily about her symptoms, she explains all about the congestion in her nose and headaches.
"How about any coughing?"
"No I haven't been coughing at all."
"So it's all just in your head then?"
Emily's faced dropped and she shot me a look that seemed to say, how could you and the doctor be turning on me like this? How did you get him on your side?
The doctor then waits a second for Emily to reply but after a few moments of silence he says, "The congestion, it's all just in your head then?" As I watched relief flood over Emily's face I couldn't contain myself. I mean there I am sitting in a doctors office with Emily as though I am her mom witnessing, what is now, one of my favorite Emily moments. Unbelievable. 
Once that fiasco was out of the way the doc got out his stethoscope to listen to Em's heart beat. Once the stethoscope is placed over her heart, right on cue, she takes a deep breath in and out. Even the doctor smiled at this, then moved the stethoscope to her back and asked if she would go ahead and take a deep breath again. Oh Emily, thinking the doctor was listening to her lungs through her heart. 
Nothing left to do now but run a Strep test, the extreme gagging noise Emily made when they collected the culture will haunt my dreams tonight. 
 The test was run and confirmed, this little lady has Strep. When she found out she threw her hands in the air and reclined back in her seat, "You have got to be kidding me!"

"You'd make a fine little helper. What's your name?" "Charles De Mar." "Shut up, geek."

We're back! Back in Logan that is and doing our best to be sociable but end up only having conversations about food and how we are going to treat ourselves... fat gurl's 4 lyfe. Last night Morgan told me she started her "Wok on Wheels" fund again. Oh how I will never forget the night we paid a "Wok on Wheels" employee 14 dollars in loose change we found in our rooms. I remember we were 2 dollars short of what we needed, Morgan (with so much hunger in her voice) turns to me and says, "Use your damn 2 dollars you won playing Mario Kart!" It was a sad but honorable day to see those 2 dollars go. Anyone want to try to take me in Mario Kart? I'm a Bateman and we can't be beat.
New Year's Eve at Classic Skating. Yes... Classic Skating. Sorry for covering your face Bobbie, unintentional.
A Beautiful picture Morgan captured of us trying to take a decent picture but those dang skates wouldn't let it happen. Simply Corey, this picture makes me laugh til I cry.

Memorable Quote from New Years Eve.

Chad Hogan: "Logan Let's watch a rated R movie!"
Logan Anderson: "No."
Chad Hogan: "Just close your eyes when it swears."

"Nuff said!"

Ya know we could talk about our personality's, style, and future plans but as Anna Campbell says it best, "Booorrrrring." Here are some videos (courtesy of Karli Davies) to help explain what big goof balls Morgan and I are. Mind you the video of Morgan was created last year in college when she started a relationship with a fanny pack she scored at the D.I. and mine is from High School. Morgan's got a nice behind and well... let's just say it took me a while to come out of my awkward stage. Dang short hair.

"The lights the cinematography!"

Watching mass amounts of Hulu has become a new holiday tradition for me. This year I discovered that you can watch the entire fourth season of Parks and Recreation, it's been awesome. Last night I found this. An episode where Tom and Donna become Morgan and Emily. I can't tell you how many conversations about food Emily and myself have had this past semester that have ended with us saying, "Let's treat ourselves!"
Which usually results in us going to Cafe Rio, Chick-Fil-A, or Taco Bell.
We live by this motto, and I think it's been good to us.

"Treat Yo Self"

"Bye Buddy, hope you find your dad!"

Em and myself spent far to many hours in the Merril-Cazier Library during finals week and we needed to celebrate the weekend after we had both taken our last final. 
And lemme tell ya, boy did we celebrate. 
We set ourselves up on a double date, but not just any double date.
A daddy-daughter double date. 
Dale and Brent
Need I say more? 
Emily and myself spent last Saturday watching our dads watch a slew of sporting events. We started out at 1pm sharp with BYU vs. Baylor
0-1
Once Dale had accepted the lost we regrouped with steak at Texas Road House. I think I speak for everyone when I say this was the highlight of the day. Steak, potatoes, beans, prime rib, rolls, honey butter, and fries.
Nothing makes Emily and I quite as happy as clogged arteries.
Post meal we headed to "The Kings of Cache" house to watch Utah State play in The Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. First off I just have to say something about the Idaho commercials during that game. I was in shock over every single one. I guess any publicity is good publicity, right? 
Brent and Dale slept through 75% of the game, I think. Can it be real sleep if one eye is open and you keep mumbling, "This is a close game."? 
I think we were all proud of the Aggies. They sure do know how to keep tradition alive don't they?
 0-2
And off to the Utah State vs Seattle game we went.
I'll be the first to admit that Aggie Basketball has been a little rough this year, but like I said before, us Aggies know how to keep tradition.
So, in true Aggie manner, we beat a no-name team.
1-2
 
Best date either of us has been on in a long time.

A Tribute To Us

Please take a seat and let us dazzle you. You are entering into a blog about cousins attached at the hip since birth. Emily (who is currently writing this) grew up in Utah and Morgan grew up in Idaho Falls. Although miles apart we always managed to make our relationship work. That last sentence sounded ridiculous and uncalled for. As little tikes our moms managed to get us matching bowl cuts and outfits and have professional photos taken at your local market. A few years after that made us matching Christmas dresses and again sat us in front of a backdrop and the rest is history. Now here we are being boring, broke, hungry college students but we have stories that will shatter your entire universe. Take a look at the first photo below, Emily on the left who looked like a complete shark as a child with those dark eyes and blonde hair and Morgan who just simply looked like Chris Farley. As a fellow friend of ours Samuel L. Jackson once said, "Hold on to your butts!" and welcome aboard.
