Snow...snow...oh no....

So I'm not sure if any of you are aware of how much it has been snowing!!!! And working in Kaysville where they seem to think it a sin to plow the roads has been a little crazy. I first started not liking snow because when it would melt it would turn to ice...then I would fall and break my arm. That was my first winter living with snow. Then I realized that its only pretty when its falling and when no one is driving. Once a car goes over it, goodbye pretty white snow and hello ugly gray snow that sticks to my car and makes it dirty. I do like snow when I'm playing in it though, I only last about ten minutes before I'm freezing, but still its a fun ten minutes. Then you can drink hot cocoa and watch the snow fall. Then really snow should go find the lakes and reservoirs and only fall there so that we can have enough water in summer to go boating! haha thats my little rant about snow....the end.

Just Singing in my Car

So I will post later some fun stuff that I've been up to but until then please enjoy this story. The other day I found my Queen's Greatest Hits cd and I was so excited to listen to it! It was wonderful for the long drive all the way up to Weber! It really woke me up and made it so that I didn't fall completely asleep in my 8:00 class. So school gets over and I get in my car and start to drive to work. Then comes on my favorite Queen song...Fat Bottom Girls! I was singing at the very top of my lungs and I was totally into it, then I got the feeling that I was being watched DUN Dun dun... and I was. I looked over to my right(I was stopped at a light) and there are these two boys just laughing their heads off staring at me. So of course I feel awkward, but at the same time I'm mad because they just made me forget about my favorite song that I was really enjoying singing to. So the light turns green and the driver is driving but still staring at me just waiting for me to start again so I looked at him and just gave the biggest cheesy smile and then crusty. hehe He stopped looking at me after that and then I put the song on again and went on my merry way. Seriously what is so fascinating about someone belting out a sweet tune in their car? I think it is very theraputic. thats all.

FUN Weekend!!

Alright so this was a couple of weeks ago, but I can never manage to keep track of my camera and its usb cord at the same time. Now I finally have them both together so I can post a cute picture with a fun time attached!

This is my BEST friend in the whole wide world Kristi Kay Esplin. We have been best friends since we were 5 years old! Its so crazy how 15 years fly! ahhh! Anyway she has been having a rough couple of months so she came up for the weekend just to detox and hang out! So our fun filled adventure started with us going to Lagoon. We decided to start with the haunted houses because they were the closest to the entrance and so we could make good time on our rideage. So it was scary! haha we were laughing the entire time, but the nervous laugh that means that your really scared but trying to cover up! so ya screaming was definitely happening! Then we went on all the rides that really get your adrenaline going and I have never screamed for such a consistent stretch of time! First the crazy happenings of The Spider, followed by the freaky Wicked which I highly recommend! Oh man it was so funny! We would be so nervous that we'd just giggle before they went and then scream until nothing would come out!! Then came The Rocket. haha I love this ride but am highly afraid of it at the same time! When we were standing in line a little girl was about to blast off and she was just sobbing saying "Daddy don't make me do this!" With big ole alligator tears streaming down. It was heart breaking! But she blasted off and came back down with a big grin on her face! Well when we were sitting there waiting I felt exactly like that little girl! I really felt like I was hyperventilating! I wanted to turn to Kristi and say "Don't make me do this!" haha but what a thrill!!!! I love how the wind just rushes my face! So it was totally worth it! Then it started to sprinkle and we decided to try and find the car before we got drenched... too bad. We could not find the car for the life of us! (it is now pouring) We are searching that dang parking lot and now its been like ten minutes! (it starts to hail!) We hurry and hide behind this jeep laughing so hard that I can't stand straight and completely soaked through! We finally find the car after like 15 minutes and man it was so funny! So we got to my house and cleaned up and watched the best movies EVER! Hocus Pocus and My Best Friends Wedding. Then we decided to go on a walk and have fun chatting and what not...it rained again! haha we just couldn't avoid it! So we hung out on the porch with my momma watching lightening and laughing our guts out! Thanks for the fun Kristi! Love ya girl!

Worst Music Video EVER!

This is my favorite music video of all time. To the right of this post is a link to YouTube and watch the top one. My roommates and I learned this dance and all of the words to the song. I only aspire to be as good as the real dancers, they inspire me to dance my heart out regardless of how embarrassing or how many people are watching you. So here is the amazing "I Wanna Love You Tender"

Funny kid

So my Grandma Willard told me the funniest story and I just had to share it with everyone. She was substitute teaching for my aunt Liz's class and the kids where supposed to be writing in their journals. She was standing by one of the kids when he looked up at her and said, "I bet you were kinda pretty when you were young." haha so funny! and then she told him, "Ya were not very cute when we're old huh?" haha I was laughing so hard! By the way you are cute even when your old! I love you grandma!

Frustration!

So this isn't exactly an uplifting post so if you don't want to read it thats completely fine! Anyway for a couple of months I have been dating a certain someone and I have had so much fun and we have done some awesome things, but I never felt completely right about it. I just never thought, "This is someone who I could see myself with" so I was always a little uneasy about the relationship. But even with that feeling I kept seeing him and never said anything. One week(last week) he had become really clingy and I just was getting so annoyed that I knew that I had to talk to him and let him know how I was feeling. The night that I had decided that I needed to talk to him he called me and asked me what was wrong because he noticed I had been acting differently. So I told him that I didn't feel right about us and that I think we should just be friends. ahah I know the classic line, but I really meant it! He got really defensive and mad because he didn't see this coming and he told me that he doesn't want to date other people because he would just compare them to me and they would suck after that. I had no idea what to say to that but I pretty much told him he would have to get over it because I don't want to go out anymore. So then we talked for 3 hours!!! At the end we had decided that we would be friends and still hang out because we do have a lot of fun together. Then on Sunday I got asked out by a guy that is one of his friends friends. So I said okay and our date was going to be for tonight. Last night I was talking to 'him' and he wanted me to go to his game tonight so I told him the truth that I was going on a date. He seemed alright with it so I didn't think anything of it. This morning the guy that I was supposed to go out with called and said "We've got drama" and I was so confused! He told me that the guy I was dating called his friend and got really mad that they would give another guy my number. So this guy told me that its okay and we should just hold off for a week or two until things settle down. I thought that was nice! But I was so mad! He doesn't have any claim on me anymore! I don't even know what he is thinking because I thought I made that pretty clear! What can I say to make things more final? I don't understand it, but I just needed to get that off my chest because I don't think its right that he is interfering with my life. I guess I need to confront him about it, but its not going to be pretty. I don't know what to do! haha well thats my life I hope all of yours is going better!

Film Festival

Okay so my bishop called and randomly decided to put me in charge of making the ward video for a film festival that our stake is having!!!! aHHAHAHahaha! I have no idea what to do and the video is due on October 4th! The theme is "You call THIS simpliying?" and I think that is not a very good theme, but I will have to get over it and figure something out. But basically I am asking if anyone has any ideas of what I could do. I am having people come over to my house tomorrow to help think of ideas, but if they aren't good I want back ups! haha! So If any ideas come to your head let me know! Thanks!

Summer!

Alright this one is a biggie! I think I owe it to an amazing summer so I decided to post all of the fun things that I did! I don't have pics of flaming gorge and bear lake but they were awesome and thanks pops for hauling my butt around on a wakeboard for so long!!! I loved it! Now I'm not the best blogger so I hope this all makes sense, but these are not in any particular order, they just happened at some point! This is my Salute to Summer!

Here are Chelsy, Jess, and I at Liberty park! We started off on the ferris wheel and made our way to the paddle boats to go around the pond of death!(There were dead ducks floating around!sick) And then we went to Astro burger. Chels and Jess got these amazing burgers. I ordered salmon, and they brought it out raw!!! sick! I love sushi but I can't handle a huge chunk of raw fish! Thats just nasty!

Lindsey and I had so much fun playing at Newport beach in California! We went to California for my great aunt Virginia's funeral. She was such a sweet lady and will be greatly missed!
Oh man big wave!
After the beach we were still excited!
I could not get my eyes to open all the way!!! It was so weird so for like and hour that is how my eyes looked. I really think I look stoned, but I wasn't! haha

Our first night there we stayed at such a ghetto hotel! I found a nasty sock(below) in the sheets of our bed! ahhhh it was disgusting
This is the lock we had to lock our door. Not exactly effective.
Ya we were freaked out!
And my funny grandparents with their tennis shoes on! haha What goofs! Notice that this is a much nicer hotel room! I didn't want to give up that bed!

Kenyon took me to see Brian Reagan at Thanksgiving Point. These were the best pics I got and they're pretty bad, but thats all I got! I thought he was pretty funny, but Kenyon thought otherwise. It was a fun night though! I slipped in a puddle and soaked my jeans and then we laughed and spilled all the mike n ikes. Oh man crazy day!

One day Devin and I were playing and laughing and such then we both just crashed! We were so tired! haha and my mom was there to get the picture of it! It's not a flattering picture, but it was funny.
Jess invited me to go play at her cabin for a weekend and it is somewhere in utah that is pretty! It was way fun! We went and found all of these little lakes and then we got lost on our way back trying to find her cabin! haha Oh man that was entertaining!

Kim, Nate, Gwen and Beckham came to see us! It was so much fun! Unfortunately these are the only pictures that I got of that. So here is Gwen barely awake! haha It was so fun to play with her and Beckham! I love them and I think that they should move back to Utah!

Alright this is me and Cecilia (my 'little sister') and we went and played at liberty park. She got a little camera happy. It was so funny to watch her try to sneak up on the geese!
And then the wakeboarding season began! I love the picture where my toenails match my board beautifully! So this is my first time ever wakeboarding and we went to Utah Lake. And then my momma boarded as well and did awesome and then decided to be a cowgirl on the tube! haha she's so funny!

School

Oh man its weird to be back in school. I really like most of my classes though and I think that I'll learn a lot! But then there is my computer class. It is a required class so I have to take it even though it is ridiculous! The people in there seriously had to have grown up in the middle ages! They know nothing at all about computers and they're my age, what is wrong with the world? So yesterday I get to class and I sit down and turn on my computer and log in and all that fun stuff. Then this kid comes and sits by me. He is pushing the keys moving the mouse and clicking trying to get the screen to pop up. I know that in this instance I could have been nice and just helped him, but I took the less noble road and I started counting in my head how long it would take him to figure out he has to turn it on. I got to 46 seconds, which is a long time to be pushing keys, when he turned to me and was like, "Is there a trick to getting the screen to come up?" It took all I had to not laugh and then I said, "Well you have to turn it on." I could tell that he felt way stupid, but I thought it was so funny! Then throughout the rest of the class this poor kid just did not get it. A lot of people didn't understand the things that I thought were mandatory to live in this age, like where the start button is on the computer. Anyway weird, but at least it kept me entertained!

Yum Blueberry

You Are a Blueberry Flavored Popsicle

You are a very unusual person. For you, summer is all about adventure and travel. You are brilliant and bright. Your mind is always sharp and working at full capacity. You seek out new and different experiences. You get bored very easily. You are very creative. Of all of the types, you're the most likely to invent a new popsicle.

What Flavor Popsicle Are You?

Breaking Dawn

Wow! That is all I have to say and for the sake of not ruining anything for other people I will give a very generic version of my thoughts on this! First off this is the strangest book of all of them, seriously weird. I loved it though and the end is great! I will say though that I wanted certain characters to die and they just didn't! Thats all

Batman and Vampires

Last night Natalie and I went and saw Batman and wow I thought it was awesome! There were some disturbing parts for sure but the crazy thing is The Joker would be killing someone and I would be sitting there laughing! Man that got my attention. He was hilarious but no wonder he went nutty in real life! Then on Monday I went and bought Breaking Dawn and I am on around page 540 or something and all I can say since I don't want to ruin it for the rest of you is WHAT? Anyway once one of you out there finishes it give me a holler because I need to talk about this! So that has been my mythological week so far.

Pictures!

Here are the promised pics! They are in a strange order, but here is the main idea: The Pics with Natalie and I are at her Apartment messing around, in the video we were trying to play the game where you keep moving your face and then take a picture and see how it turns out, but I accidently hit the video button. The pics with Jensen and I are at the Alvin Ailey dance concert at Kingsbury Hall. Thank you again Nicole and Lauren for the tickets!!!

Crazy Bird

Oh man I cannot believe that it is already April! Well Lately I have been doing some fun things and soon I will post pictures of them but here is a little sneak peak. I went to Logan and I stayed with Natalie up at her apartment and those were great times. Then Jensen and I got to go to the Alvin Ailey Dance Concert and we had a blast. Thanks to Nicole and Lauren for the tickets!!! Now today at work I am sitting here answering phones and all that jazz and suddenly this bird just smashes into the window right in front of me! I started laughing, but ten seconds later it did it again and again and again! Right now it is still just smashing into the window I wish I had my camera so I could video it! Well that is all for right now, but I promise to get pictures up soon! The End

Life

Right now I am not doing anything too exciting. I just got a 'C' on my physics test. Pretty sweet! haha at least I'm passing. Then right now I am just chilling at work. I have been watching a whole lot of the NCAA march madness! It has been crazy! I really hope Kansas wins it all because if they do then I will win something for once in my life! Wahoo! I guess I shouldn't be celebrating yet...oh well. Today I have to go to an art gallery and really I am just writing that to remind me to go. I have to write an essay for art about a piece that I find in the gallery that I like. Then on TV I saw a commercial for wedgiefree underwear and I am pretty stoked to try those out. I will let you know how that turns out! haha Well that is my life right now if anything exciting happens I'll let ya know.

Alaskan Adventure

Well I know that not many of you have had the chance to see pictures my my fun time in Alaska so this is an easy way to let you all know the basics of what I was up to for those fabulous 4 months of my life. I did lose my camera in the process of coming back to Utah so these aren't my favorite, but are definitely do-able. This is on Mt.McKinley with my chicka's
This is the only igloo that I saw in Alaska
The entrance to our lodge
Pretty
This is the train that I was on at least twice a week
My lumberjacks!OU
yes, I am riding a giant salmon
before
After

Having fun on the Motorcoach

This is a climber that just got down from the peak and he was eating pudding with an ice pick
These are nice ladies that came for a couple daysThis is the Talkeetna office, ya it's pretty ghetto, but the normal office at the lodge is freaking sweetWe carved Watermelons, to the left of the barfing melon is mine, RoadKill,

we ran over it with a mule

More salmon...that was way fun

Evil Dictators

So yesterday I was watching the news and they were talking about how Fidel Castro was backing down and making way for his brother. When they showed Castro being interviewed he was in an Adidas jogging suit. I don't exactly know what I expected when I saw him but it wasn't that. I don't know about you but when I get the thought of 'evil dictator' in my mind I don't expect them to be joggers. I lost some respect for his role as a horrible person. It was like seeing Hitler wearing flip flops, it just doesn't match up.
