Memorial Day Weekend

For Memorial Day Weekend, I had decided to go back to St. George. Besides missing my friends, I also had TWO weddings to attend on Saturday! So I left for St. George on Friday morning and made it safely there in about 5 or so hours! When I got there I went to Jessica's house and we met up with our friend Stephanie. Because I'm somewhat of a slacker, I still had to buy presents. So we ran over to target and pick out of few things for each wedding. While we were there, we decided that we should go camping that night since it is Summer and all. Jess was pretty much in charge of it and just like me, anything she plans usually doesn't run smoothly! Ha! So we met everyone in Washington and drove out to Oak Grove. When we got there, I spotted the PERFECT camping spot. We pulled the cars over and claimed our dirt! The boys that were with us started putting up tents...I know right...actual tents! I don't think I've been Big Boy camping in a few years! And of course while they were setting up tents, Me, Laura, and Jess were all taking pictures and laughing! After they had set up tents and built a monster of a fire, we decided to explore our surroundings. Let me just add...NEVER EVER wear flip flops camping haha! Ooopppsss!! Down below us, there was a river and A LOT of cactus! I managed to make it through without getting any cactus needles in my foot! After exploring, we went back and roasted some dogs and mallows. It was fun to sit around with my friends and just laugh! The next morning we awoke bright and early, packed up our shiz, and left! All in about an hour! Ha! We then went to Village Inn and got breakfast! After Breakfast me and Jess went shoe shopping! OMG!! I found these shoes that are so cute! Later that day, I attended both of the weddings. Both were so beautiful and of course the brides looked amazing! On Sunday, me and Jess went over to Laura's to go swimming. We cooked up some tacos and laid in the sun....just like old times! On Monday I drove home. I made good time that day too! It was a fun trip home and I'm glad I went! Hopefully I can make it back up there sometime soon.

Grils Night 2009

Before I left for Arizona, some of the girls from my class got together for dinner. We did this last summer and loved it so much we decided to do it again. It's fun to see everyone and reminisce about old times. This year we only used one camera so I had to steal this picture from Amanda...thanks :)

Holi: Festival of Colors 2009

Ever since last year, I have been excited to go to Color Fest! I'm so glad I got to go this year, it was so much fun. I mean who wouldn't want to throw colored chalk in some random persons face?! Haha! Color fest is centered around an old Indian tradition. From what I understand it is to welcome Spring. Anyways, it's held every year in Spanish Fork at the Krishna temple. There are so many people that attend this thing...it's CRAZY! Well anyways, I convienced Jess, Steph, and Logan to all come up for it. And you know what...they were glad they did. We left my house around 4:30, got stuck in traffic for about 1/2 an hour but it was all worth it. When we arrived at the temple, we were told that they were all out of color. I was really sad when I found this out and it kind of put a damper on things for a minute. But it didn't last too long! Five minutes later, some lady started selling color again so me and Dixon joined in the mosh pit type crowd to get some. If any of you know me well, you know I don't do well in tightly confined spaces with large crowds! haha! Needless to say, we ended up scoring a few bags of color just in time to start throwing them. We made our way to the middle of the HUGE crowd and got drenched in color chalk. It was AWESOME!!!! I'm for sure going to try and make it next year...and I suggest that any of you who can make it should! It's one of the biggest things to happen in Utah every year. Anyways there are more pictures below...enjoy :D

Very Merry Christmas

On Sunday we had a family Christmas party at my Aunt's house. It was crazy! Haha!! All of my family was there! My sister came down from Orem with her husband and kids, John came down from Cedar with his girlfriend and their two kids, and best of all....my brother Chris came up from California with his wife and little girl! Anyways after a night of running around, chasing kids, and eating until I was stuffed, it was time for me to get a good nights sleep! Anyways...I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

Happy Birthday!!!

Oh how I just love birthdays!!!! As of yesterday, I am no longer a teenager! I can't believe that I am 20!!! It's crazy! Anyways, this year for my birthday, we went out to eat the night before. We went to Olive Garden and enjoyed a feast of all feasts!!!! I just can't get enough of their soup or bread sticks haha. After dinner, I went home to catch up on some much needed sleep. Only I never really get to bed as soon as I'd like. Anywhoot, the next morning I awoke and realized that it was my birthday! My day started off like any other day....working!! Lame I know but they let me leave at noon :) and then I went to lunch with my girls! Me, Laura, Jess, and Bryttni ate at Ruby Tuesdays where Sara works. She made me the most amazing cake ever! It was really good! After stuffing our selves to the brim, we went for a little relaxation trip to the mall. We didn't find anything we really wanted to buy so we decided we should just leave. So I drove home and took a little nap....it was nice! After my nap, I went to get my birthday present from my mother.....$20 is always a good present! Then I went over to Laura's house. She also baked me a cake (it's tradition :D)! Me, Laura, Bryttni, and Clare all played Imaginiff (really fun game...you should look into getting it).

Carving Pumpkins + Haunted Houses = Halloween

Halloween this year was fun fun fun as usual!! I just love carving pumpkins (picture left). This year I got to do it twice. The first pumpkin I carved was suppose to look like a pedophile...haha and the second one I carved was suppose to look like Harry Potter...I didn't do a very good job on that one though. A couple of weeks before, I went to a costume party with my friend Stephanie. It was a lot of fun. I dressed up as Cruella De Vil, but I looked more like a twelve cent hooker. When we got to the party, there were so many creative costumes. One guy was dressed up as a robot!! It was nuts! I really enjoyed seeing everyone get into the Halloween spirit. The weekend after that, I went to the haunted corn maze with a group of friends. I was pretty scared, I even ran away from the whole group just to get out of there. A couple days after that, I went to the haunted house by the mall!! That was very very very very scary! I ran into a few walls, knocked over some baracades, and almost lost my voice from screaming so much! Let's just say I'll probably never go through that one again! And then the main event...Halloween night :D !! My friend Sara came over to get ready with me and while we were sitting there, the kids from my neighborhood kept knocking on the door. Me being totally amazing...not...had forgot that little kids go trick or treating and you're suppose to have candy to hand out...oops!! So we hung a sign on our door that read "No Candy Here! We're Lame!" After that, they stopped knocking. A little while later, Jess, Bryttni, and Jenny all showed up to get ready. Sara was Bat Girl, Jess was a Nurse, Bryttni was Minne Mouse, and Jenny & I were both Mrs. Claus (picture right). After we got all dolled up, we went over and picked up some guy friends. Tim was some pimp or something, Kaleb was a beer guy, and Bill was Mr. Claus (since me and Jenny were both Mrs. Claus we figured it could be like playboy style haha)(picture left). Once we were done taking pictures, we headed off the the Dixie College Dance. When we got there, the dance was packed. We had to wait in line for 15 minutes before we could even get up to where the dancing was going on. We eventually made our way up and danced our little booties off!! I was a lot of fun!!! I just can't even wait for next year!!
