Halloween

I am so behind in posting, finals have consumed all of my time. I had a blast these past 2 months and I will play catch up really fast. For halloween I was a hippie. It was really fun, I even drew all over my jeans. My friends went all out and it was a great night. Here are a few of the photos.

Election Day

Well yesterday was definitely an interesting day, and day that will forever be remembered historically. Everything didn't turn out exactly as I would have wanted it, but I am interested to see what the future holds.

Last night I had the opportunity to go down to the Grand America Hotel and participate in the Republican festivities that went down there. I had the opportunity to shake hands with Senator Orrin Hatch, Governor Huntsman, and Rep. Bishop. It was a neat opportunity and I am glad I went down. I hope that the future is bright for America, and that the economy can withstand these new changes.

Picture Tag

Thanks Chels, I bet you thought I wasn't going to do it...

This is the picture tag where you go into your picture files on your computer and choose the 4th picture from the 4th folder and tell a little bit about it, then tag 6 people. I am using my parents computer since my laptop died, so this could be interesting.

This picture is from 2 years ago. It was Catch a Cougar night for my sorority. It was the week of the BYU Utah football game, and the week before thanksgiving. The whole sorority drove down from SLC to Provo. The deal was we had to go find random Y boys on the street. I cheated and called my friend Phil and told him we would be there to pick him up and told him to bring two roommates for my friends. Funny story, we made out a week later, the night before thanksgiving, and the whole family found out at Thanksgiving dinner. Gotta Love IT!!!!!

I tag...Jamie, Heather, Ashley, Mollie, Jackie, Amber

Snow in October!!!!

It snowed last weekend!!! I love the snow! I was happy to have it come. I also am satisfied it has warmed up a bit more so that we can play a couple more weeks of sand volleyball. It was fun to wake up to the snow and bring out my sweaters....there better be more to come!!!!

Haunted Houses!

I love haunted houses!!!! I of course get scared very easily. However, I love the adrenaline feeling. I love it. It is so ironic, to pay someone to scare you, but that is the joy of Halloween and Haunted Houses. Of course, all of my friends love to see me get scared. They kept telling the "creatures" throughout the experience my name, which caused me even more terror. I don't like them knowing my name. I screamed a lot, and might of hyperventilated a little too. It was definitely fun though! Oh and after we walked out there was some creepy man dressed up we had to get our picture by.

Go UTES!!!

It has been a great season for the University of Utah. My family has 4 season tickets, so I get to go to the games often. I went to their first home game of the season against UNLV. They won. I went with the parentals and my sister Whitney. I also got the opportunity to go and watch the U beat Oregon State in a nail biter. We were able to score 10 points in the last 2 minutes of the 4th quarter, to win! It was incredible. The fans were jumping out of the stands. We even watched some of the security guards get trampled by security. After the game was over, we were enjoying the victory, and a Ute player came to the stands to greet fans. Taylor and I had to get our picture taken of course. We also went with dad and Sam...It was a blast!

Grandma's Birthday!

Well yesterday was my grandma's 76th birthday. She is such an amazing woman. Anyone she meets becomes an instant friend. I love her to death. We go out to lunch every wednesday, and I look forward to this every week. I can't even begin to describe all that she has done for me and for the rest of the family. Truly a remarkable woman. I want to put a few pics up...Enjoy!!!

Catching Up

I am not even going to try to get everything I have done in the past little bit on here. Life has been crazy busy, but so good! I have been going to my little bro Ben's games every Friday night. He is playing so well and so far they haven't lost any of their season games. School is crazy busy. I am taking 20 credits this semester and it is hard to find time for it all with work also, but things are going very well so far. We are playing indoor soccer right now. We have a blast but have yet to win...we will get better...I have faith in us. This last weekend was amazing. I went to the scrapbook expo. It was amazing. I went with Stephanie and Heather. We found some amazing deals!!!! What a blast!!!

Help!

I am an idiot, I almost deleted my blog tonight, and I am trying to change the layout and I can't figure out what I am doing, this is ridiculous. Who knows how to help me?

Las Vegas

To end the summer off, I went down to Las Vegas with Vanessa. We left August 20th and came back the 23rd.

The first night when we got there we just swam and chilled at the hotel because we were both exhausted and Vanessa wasn't feeling very well. Thursday we went to the strip and went to Bellagio's gardens which are BEAUTIFUL! A definite must see.

Then for all of those of you who know this about me, I am obsessed with M&M's. I often make the comment that if my future husband provides me with M&M's and a crushed ice maker, I will be happy and content with life. HAHA! We then went and bought these half off coupons to Planet Hollywood and had an amazing lunch. The food was delicious. We went back to the hotel for some swimming and chillaxing! That night we were feeling adventurous and went to Stratosphere and rode the ride at the top of the building. It was so crazy. When you get off the elevator at the 108th floor I felt as though the building was swaying, and that I was going to fall over the edge. CRAZY! The ride was very fun, but I screamed my little heart out on it. It was a blast, I have never done it before and was so glad to finally have the opportunity.

Friday morning me and V decided to go where neither of us have gone in all the many times we have both been to Vegas. We drove about a half hour and went to see the Hoover Dam. It was so cool. So much history is there, and to be a part of it was amazing! I also got to stradle the Nevada-Arizone state line, so I can say I have been in two places at once. Walk to remember style.

On our way back to the hotel we went to Cheesecake Factory, which is so amazing! We went back to the hotel to swim and enjoy our time.

V wasn't feeling up to doing anything, but I got bored so I went to the strip by myself. It was crazy, fun, and scary all wrapped in to one. I went and gambled at New York New York for a minute, I think I lost 5 bucks. Big spender I know. Next, I ventured down to the Mirage and Treasure Island hotels. As I was driving on the strip, my car overheated. Frustrations. The car has been continually overheating all summer. They keep fixing it for me free of charge because it isn't my fault. I got back to the hotel around 830. I knew the dealer service center would be closed but I tried to call them anyways. I called the VW dealer 3 miles away from our hotel, and the service guy told me that the service department was open until midnight and that if I took my car over there he would look at it for me. Well they looked at it and said the fan wasn't working but in 110 degree weather that tends to happen. He said we could make it back to Utah if we didn't use AC the whole way home. So we left saturday morning in HOT weather without the AC for the whole 6 hour ride home. The next week when I took the car in to get fixed they said they couldn't find anything wrong, and it has been working great ever since....who knows anymore!

My Bad

Well my laptop has obtained a virus called XP antivirus 2008. Trust me if you get this virus run...it has taken over my computer and after hours of working at getting rid of it, it is still there. My summer was amazing. School has started and things are very crazy. An update of the last month. I went to 2 rodeos.

The Ogden rodeo was a blast, and the davis county rodeo was so windy we didn't last long but it was fun. I started playing indoor soccer which is so fun, I just suck.

Stephanie Williams came home from her mission and that makes me so happy!!!!

I also got to go to my very first demolition derby.

I went to Jack Johnson and to Martina McBride in concert.

Jay and Bethany got married.

We went to Cheesecake Factory for Zach's birthday!

To end the summer, we had a barbecue to celebrate Marko coming home, and the end of summer!!! Highschool friend style.
