Best Weekend!!

This weekend was the best weekend that I've had in a long time. It all started because Holly and Tiana had Friday off, so they really wanted to do something BIG. So the brilliant idea was to head to Vegas--Holly has never been and we all really needed to get out of St. George for the weekend. So 5:00 Friday afternoon Tiana, Holly, Aub, and I headed out!

The ride there was thee best! Holly is such an animal I love her, she sings, dances and just makes everything 100 times better. We eventually get to sin city and Holly is freaking out, she's never seen so many tall, big buildings. We gave her the low down and told her some 'rules' to follow.

1. Don't take the fliers that the people on the side of the strip give you, basically keep your hands to your side.



2. Don't touch the railings or anything really.



3. Stay where I can see you at ALL TIMES. It was literally the most stressful Vegas trip I have ever been on.



4. Don't look up, down, or to the side of you, just keep your head up.

So once we got the rules down it was time to pick up Randi and then go sight seeing the first stop was the Cheesecake Factory, it was the bomb I love pasta and cheesecake. Then we walked up and down the strip my very favorite is the conservatory in the bellagio. I love all the flowers and water tunnels and stuff. I also Love Love Love the fountain show that's outside the bellagio I could watch it all day!

Overall it was a great weekend, it was truly a much needed girls weekend! Thanks Holly, Tiana, Randi, and Aub for being the bestest friends a girl could have!!

Much needed Update

Yes it's been 2 months since I've last blogged, and since March much has happened. Like for instance, I got glasses! It has taken quite some time to get used to them but I finally have and I love them! I love being able to see the board in chemistry, and read street signs clearer before I pass them, I also look hot in them so that's a bonus :) Here is kind of a before and after picture of my hair cut too. I just loved the bob last summer so I couldn't resist it this summer, it's kind of shorter than I wanted it but hair always grows back.

March was also spring break, so Holly and I headed home. This was the first time since Christmas that I went home so it was a much needed trip. We decided to go to the temple as a 1 year anniversary of our sealing so that was a great experience!

In April, I got a second job as a CNA at St. George care and rehab. Some days I really love it but other days I seriously want to shoot myself in the foot. I suppose that's typical of any job though. April also means that DWEEK happens at the college...I LOVE DWEEK! It's like homecoming but 100 times better. This year I was determined to go to every activity and I almost accomplished that but work does come first. I went to the biggest arm wrestling line and broke a world record it was totally legit! I also went to the great race, this was my first time ever so I was freaking out! I really really wanted to see the mud pit so that's basically where we were the whole time, and I was right on the edge so I got mud all over my pants and shoes but it was worth it.

We also went to the carnival, it was off the hook! They had blow up bounce houses, the rock wall, mechanical bull, and every club did a booth of some kind it was great. The best part was ROOTDOWN I seriously love them hence the excitement in my eyes in this picture. There was also this amazing balloon man there, he was the best! Tiana and I stood in line for 45 minutes for one of his creations.


Since this semester is ending that means changes are coming, I've been on Student Government for a year now and seriously love it! So I tried out and interviewed to be the next service chair but didn't get it. Which is ok I truly believe the girl that got it will do amazing things! But what does that mean for me? Well the VP of clubs wants me to stay on the ICC and be his right hand man, so I'm pretty excited to see what the fall of 2011 has in store for me! I will definitely miss these service lovers but it's not like I won't see them ever again :)

I really have so much that I want to do this summer! I have lived in St George for almost 2 years now and haven't done crap haha so Tiana and i are making a summer 2011 bucket list it should be great! So until next time have a great being of summer everyone!!!

I can see clearly now.

I hate getting old! Getting older means you have more responsibilities, more decisions that will affect the rest of your life, and last but not least your body starts giving out on you! Well this year is my 22nd year of living and my eyes have gradually been getting worse and worse. Mostly when I need to read street signs in the dark or read something that is farther than 10 feet in front of me. My roommate Tiana works at Paradise Canyon eye care and she convinced me to go in for a check up.



Prior to this appointment I haven't been to the eye doctor for a little over two years, and at that time there wasn't anything wrong with my eyes. So i figured since I've gotten older and became a courier my eyes have changed and are now strained with things I could easily see before. So yesterday I went to the doctor; in the pre-checkup...checkup Tiana tested my peripheral vision, my colors, whether I had a astigmatism or not and other things like that. They were really cool tests like one was a 3-D picture one, pretty neat! Anyways, then I went in with Dr. Fife and he did tests with machines and made me chose between two different views (like which is better one or two)


well I did this like fifty times. After all was said and done I have a little astigmatism in my right eye, which means instead of my eye being shaped like a basketball it's shaped like a football. My left eye is so bad, and i definitely need glasses. I was hoping I'd only have to wear them while driving and also at class but nope, he wants me to wear them ALL THE TIME! I'm so bummed, but if it's what I have to do in order to see better then I'll do it. I'm done with headaches, squinting, and not being able to read street signs and addresses. So Tiana and I picked out some glasses and they should be here anytime between now and the 15th, I am excited but they are definitely gonna take some getting used to.

8 months later..

It's official. I am the WORST blogger ever! It's on my list of things to do better so hopefully it won't be another 8 months till I write again!
Where do I even start? I am still in St George and loving every minute of it, the decision to move down here was the best thing I ever did! I now live with my sister and best friend (they are one in the same.) Most sisters would have a difficult time living together but not us. I'm not gonna lie, we have our little tiffs but make up shortly after..and if she's out of control I just call mom! Seriously I love living with her and am SO glad she chose to follow me to Dixie!

I am still a courier for IHC, I freaking love my job! I am still madly in love with One Tree Hill, and she's the man..some things never change! I have a new found obsession with the Sweet tooth fairy bakery..I just love the cupcakes there so we go at least once a week!

This semester I needed to take 12 elective credits to fill the requirements for my Associate of Science degree. I am finally learning the piano and absolutely love it, I am kicking spanish in the butt and cannot wait to be able to speak the language!I'm also taking a first aid class and it's a breeze,saving peoples lives I can do..but chemistry that is hard! Why do I even need chemistry..I'm not even going to be a chemist. Everyday in that class is another day of torture!
Something else new this semester, I recently became the newest DSC service rep (basically any service that happens on campus has to go through me). It's a more difficult Student government position and I have so much to do before this semester is done but I have a great group to work with, I love service, and I love Dixie!

That is pretty much what is happening in my life right now, I really do enjoy blogging and hope to write weekly...but we will see :)

Summer Vacation!

Why is life so busy?! It's supposed to be summer and I'm supposed to be care free...My summer has been nothing like that! Mostly because I took summer school, not a huge mistake but then again it kind of was; My professors took everything I'm supposed to learn in 15 weeks and made it fit into 8 weeks...it was a hard 8 weeks! I won't lie it's nice to know I got 9 credits done and under my belt. Plus my professors were so chill, I guess I really liked summer semester! First off, I cut my hair...7'' off to be precise..it was so sad but I really have loved it!!
This summer wasn't a total failure, I went to more wedding receptions between may and now than I ever have before! One of the weddings was for my long lost friend from high school. It was so great to help plan her wedding, the shower, and of course the bachelorette party! When her special day finally came it was amazing! I saw people I haven't seen since high school, it was just a little reunion and it was great!! Another reception I went to was for my very first roommate! If it wasn't for Aly I probably never would have moved to St George and my life would be completely different right now! I'm just so grateful for Aly and so happy for her and Race.
We also did a trip to Vegas because my best friend Hillary Bryan had never been to there.. I rounded up the group and we headed to Vegas to show Hillary the life she doesn't want! But to be honest, it was dirty and disgusting. I loved being with my friends but the whole time I was just sick to my stomach. Hopefully that cured her obsession with wanting to go so bad.

I now have less than a month before fall semester starts up again, we are hoping to go to Phoenix before then, and I'm hoping to hike a waterfall as well....but we will see!

I'm now a blogger!!

The newest crave now-a-days is blogging; I am sick of Facebook and need something new in my life! I am kind of getting the hang of things but then not really.. I figured out how to edit the layout and I'm fine with that for now. :)
