MUSE!!

Muse was AMAZING! The concert was absolutely crazy. The lights, lasers, music all added up to the most wild effect. They played all of my favorite songs, even the older ones. Ben and I were rockin out! I also got to see Kariesa, Jared, Scott, and Casey before the show. What a great night!

We love muse!!

Uprising!

These guys were dedicated. They were stretching and warming up before they dove into the crowd haha

And they ended the night with my favorite song. I couldn't ask for more!

General Conference

I honestly can say this has been my favorite General Conference weekend ever. Maybe its because for the first time I stayed awake for all four sessions! Or maybe my Living Prophets class helped me appreciate even more. Whichever, I certainly loved it. I learned so much, and enjoyed how the emphasis was on the family. I guess in this changing world, the family is soon going to be the only stable structure in our lives.

I was lucky enough to go to the Sunday Afternoon session in Salt Lake City with my friends. And of course, after it was all over....

PHOTO SHOOT! :)

Courtney, Me, Jenica, Nikki, Kristi, Kendra

We are all going to be living at the Colony next semester! I love all these girls, so I am super excited!

Jersey girls!

hare krishna!!

Who knew getting so dirty could be so much fun?! I, along with a bunch of my close friends in my ward, went to the Festival of Colors in Spanish Fork. We celebrated the change to spring the Hindu way. Basically, we got to dance and listen to Indian music as we threw dyed flower powder stuff at each other. We got covered!

Me sandwiched in between the Emily's!

It was packed! So many people there...

Gotta love our ward boys!

Brigham, my byusa bud!

Ben, Brigham, Me, Taylor, Emily

Ryan and Ben: Future Male Models. (at least they think so)

Ben and Taylor found a tractor on our way back. Enough said.

Opening Day 2010!

Ok, so yes, the Red Sox won the first game of the season. But hey! I'm not worried! Im just so happy Yankee season has finally started. Some of my favorite summer memories are of going to Yankee Stadium with my dad! I love the fact that we share the obsession, and I definitely blame him for it. Hopefully this summer I can watch the Yankees beat the Red Sox in person.

Dad....that a was a big hint. :)

If not, I still can't wait to go to the beautiful Yankee Stadium, and hopefully a few others like Camden Yards and Fenway Park. We'll see how this summer goes!

las vegas...

...with my best friends!

Emily, Courtney, and Me!

the three blondes

Las Vegas is a crazy place. I LOVED IT! I honestly thought it was hilarious; the people, the casinos, you name it. Walking up and down the strip, I fell in love with the lights and shows. Dont worry! We didn't break the Honor Code down there, even though there were a few close calls!

The drive to Vegas was gorgeous! I love the red rocks! It reminds me of Moab.

Us in the Jungle

Pretty amazing pool, huh! Luckily, Courtney's grandpa and dad were staying at the Hilton, so we got a key to the pool!

We didn't lose too much money...

This picture defines our relationship.

This was my favorite part!

I loved all of the lights! My favorite Casino was the New York, New York. We actually watched the BYU basketball game at a bar in that casino. Kind of ironic...cheering for BYU at a bar. I guess not too many Mormons can say that!

Some funny stories:

Walking back around 11 at night, people are already wasted. One guy came up to me and started a convo that went like this:

Guy: Want to come to TI with me?

Me: nope!

Guy: Do you even know what TI is?

Me: nope!

At that point he just laughed as though i was the stupidest person alive. I guess i kind of was unobservant, because we were standing right next to the Treasure Island casino with a huge sign flashing the letters T.I. Oh well, I didn't want to party with him anyway. He didn't leave us alone until i told him we were meeting Courtney's dad. He disappeared pretty quick after that!

Another funny encounter. We were passing two black guys:

Black guys: Hey ladies! Wanna smoke marijuana?? Come get high with us!

Me: No thank you! Not tonight!

Courtney: Thats the first time i've ever been asked to do drugs!

Emily: Me too!

Hahah I told them they handled the situation very well.

What a weekend in Vegas!

a weekend of dress-up

I.

Love.

Dress-Up.

Always have, always will!

The last weekend of February was perfect for me and my dressing up obsessions. On Friday night, Emily, Ben, Taylor, and I went to the Harry Potter dance for Preference. Even though we decided to go last minute, we had a great time. And we pulled off some sweet witches and wizard costumes. I still need to give Taylor back his tie....oops!

Dobby showed up! How perfect!

Emily's roommate Camille literally has a dress up box under her bed, which Courtney and I discovered. I always wanted to be a Disney Princess! And who knows what Courtney was. Emily scared us half to death with Camille's clown mask!

To top it off, Saturday night was a jersey shore part at the loft! Celeste and I dressed up as guidettes with tons of bronzer and poofs in our hair! What can i say, fist pumpin all night!
