Sean left us for a few months to go teach in China.  We had a farewell party for him at his house.  Here are a few photos of the friends...

Happenings

I have decided to do an internship this summer. My area of focus is Marketing and PR. I am looking specifically in the east coast, with New York being my main focus right now. If anyone has advice on where to look for internships or housing, or anything they think might be useful for me to know, I would greatly appreciate it. The application process is overwhelming, but I am excited for a new adventure. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Well January was pretty uneventful. I have however made a few purchases. On Martin Luther King Day I bought myself my new baby. It is a 2007 Mazda 6. It is silver. I love it!!!! The car has treated me great so far, however, Friday morning on my way to work I had a blowout. I was on the highway so it was a bit scary, gratefully however though I was able to pull over and get out of the way. Matt was able to come help me change the tire. We couldn't get my car jack out of the trunk however, so I called Cindee and she came to our rescue and brought us her car jack. So I was supposed to be at work at 845 and I arrived at 10. I appreciate an understanding manager, who wasn't mad but rather worried. So other than that, things are well with the car, and let me tell you...I Look GOOD in that Car!!!! HAHA.

Last night I went to go purchase a new Mac Laptop. I got everything I wanted picked out, and computer was in hand, when I looked at my wallet and I had left my credit card at home. Big blonde moment of the week right there. Luckily they put it on hold for me, so I will be the new proud owner of a Mac tomorrow evening. Marko was with me and so I am really glad he will never let me live that down. It was rather embarrassing. We also went and saw Taken with Marko and his brother Nik and his roommate. It was a very intense movie, but I really liked it. It is terrible to know and think that that kind of stuff is actually happening, but it is. We went to Trio for dinner. We saw some very STRANGE things while waiting, but it was DELICIOUS!! Definitely worth the wait!

This month I also went to my first Sundance experience. We didnt see any shows, but we had a fun night going to Squatter's pub and walking the streets of Park City. February has a lot of great things planned, so I am looking forward to it. More posts to come....

Minnesota

From December 28 through January 4th of this year I went to Minnesota. My cousin Shaun got married at the St. Paul Temple so I went with grandma to go celebrate and support him in this exciting milestone of his life. We stayed in Minneapolis and the St. Paul area for a few nights then we went up north to my uncle's place in Ely. The first night we got there it was about -20 degrees. I exaggerate not. We celebrated new years 20s style and had plenty of noise makers to make it really exciting. It was a great holiday. We played games, and just enjoyed the family bonding time we had. We went into Ely for lunch and shopping, everything felt the same as 3 years ago when I worked there. It was a great experience. I got dressed in a Carrhart jumpsuit and we went sledding one night. We went down the driveway and it was pitch black, but after I got over my fear it was really amazing. We rode down on some flexible flyers. We went back down to Minneapolis for our last night there and went to dinner with Melanie and Reuben. We had an early flight the next morning, but it was nice to come home, even though it wasn't much warmer here.

Life

Many people have told me I need to get back on top of my blog. I left it a bit neglected. I resolve to try to be better with my blog. I just got my computer fixed so I am back in business. More to come....soon.

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!
