You should have seen it in color

The Black & White dance for my friend Dayna was this weekend.
Those of us left in town dressed up and decided to dance the night away and do it Utah style with some mock-tails.

Roommate-ship

Trenny & I (one of the bests)

The whole big group of us-JC (get some Riley!!)

After dancing the night away our good friend Jeff invited all of us to play sardines (hide and go seek in reverse, one person hides all the people look) at a store called, The Book Table. It was owned by his friends dad, it was a blast. The quickest explanation:
dark scary old book store+sardines with the lights out late at night+big scary tunnel where people jump out and scare you= nightmares.

This week is jam packed full of fun after working many hours last week I am off until the weekend, so my schedule goes as follows:
Tomorrow-----> GIRLS NIGHT! Going out with some great Speech Comm friends to Cafe Sabor. yummy
Wednesday----> Box Seats @ the Jazz game with Christopher! I'm currently not a Jazz fan (sorry you hard core lovers out there) but maybe this game and experience will change my mind, even just a little.
Thursday------> The first Service Week meeting & movie in the TSC

It's going to be one busy week! I cannot wait. What are your plans?

My Best Friends Wedding

I decided since I'm currently lacking in the Lori and Christopher area that I would take some me time and paint my nails and watch, My Best Friends Wedding.

Flashback to my number one movie crush back in the days. He's just so suave and sexy.

I just how much I love this movie its hilarious, a love story, and has some awesome actors. LOVE IT! Thank goodness for movies. Whats your favorite oldish but good movie?

AND

I got tipped for seating a person at work. Pretty good night if I do say so myself. 

To come: the black & white party, and sardines in a scary haunted bookstore. 

The day to top all days....

Horrible days that is!
Let me just tell you how today went down.
I woke up early and went to go put my favorite pair of jeans on.
That sounds great right, well it was until I discovered I had a huge hole in my butt. Not so great!! I don't even have a funny embarrassing story to tell as to why. It just appeared poof out of no where.
I then proceeded to go through at least 10 outfits, not being content with any of them.
While changing I missed the bus.
Once I found an okay outfit that I could live with I went to put some earrings on that would make it a bit more bearable.
Hi only one earring in a pair, thats just great. Wearing one earing could be a new style, right?

Once I finally get to school I realize that I forgot my purse and student ID at home. I can't donate blood now which sucks cause Chris and I had a pretty good bet if I donated blood, he won because I was exempt.

Chris wouldn't kiss me because I was grumpy (he thought he was helping by being fun, what a sweet guy)

I get to work and our manager thinks we are lying because this table that was full of complaints lied to get a free appetizer. I will pay for your appetizer if your going to lie and get us in trouble, dude. Thankfully there are cameras to document.

&to top if off my two best friends Lori & Christopher (also bf, he plays dual rolls) left today for a long weekend. Hello loneliness !

The good news, its almost tomorrow & I've got Harry Potter movies to keep me company. 

That Time

* Disclaimer* Play this video and listen to the music while reading for the full effect...


I needed eggs. So I of course hopped into Christopher's car to head to the grocery store, and this song came on the Ipod (in all honesty I chuckled a little. I love this music & was surprised he had it)
Anyways.... I started to sing a long to good Ol' Regina and actually listened to the words, as I did I started remembering all the "that times."



These were the top 5 times that I thought of as I sang (dating from birth to now)
1. Remember that time I wet my swimsuit diaper when I was two and was potty trained from that day forward, lucky mom and dad.
2. Remember that time when I would only watch 101 Dalmations, & would sneak out of my room to watch it all night long.
3. Remember that time I got my Ugg boots (this Christmas) and never took them off not even when I went to bed.
4. Remember that time when all I would eat was spinach and chicken for every meal.
5. Remember that time when search and rescue had to come get us from the top of a hill because I coincidently fell right when they said: "wave your arms if your in trouble."

What times do you remember? I'd love to hear all about them!

I had an idea...

That one day I would visit the east coast....
AND I DID!

My stud of a man...other wise known as Christopher, flew me down to Virginia to see his family. While I was there I got to see how beautiful Virginia is, got to know his amazing family,  and discover the treasure trove of history on the east coast.


While I was in Lynchburg I was able to see all of the old architecture and fell in love with all of the houses there. The variety of houses and how pretty they were blew my mind. I will rep Vegas until the day I die but, lets be honest every single house looks almost exactly the same.

Lynchburg is so full of history. I love diseases, not getting them or anything nasty like that just the problem solving behind how they happened, how they spread, and how they are stopped. (a.k.a Epidemiology--> definition can be found on good ol' Webster) In Lynchburg they have an old cemetery in with graves from the Civil War. Within that Cemetery they also had what was called the pest house which is where one of the first doctors practiced the idea of having a "clean work station." His main focus was on quarantining the soldiers who were stricken with small pox. Hi, cool guy you rock!

Then came Appomattox...In case you were wondering because well, I had no clue to be honest, Appomattox is where the treaty was signed to end the Civil War. This was in the parlor of the McLean house which we got to go into, also really cool. Then it was off to a hiking trip. We decided we wanted to conquer the highest peak in Virginia with Chris's whole family and his sisters friends, but during the first try the weather decided that was not going to happen. So we tried again the day Chris and I had to fly back and did it! 

Then came Washington. Not the state Washington although thats cool and all but the capital, yep you heard it Washington DC. It was pretty much sweet. We saw the Capital, Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, Smithsonian Botanical Museum,The White House, the DC Temple and the Spy Museum. Although the traffic in DC is insane seeing all these cool places was worth it. Chris may disagree since he was the driver. The best part was seeing the DC temple its now on my list of top three favorite temples. I also loved the Lincoln Memorial, and some delicious Peruvian food.

Then last but not least I got to eat at the T-Room. Its famous they say and you can find it on the TV show Diners, Drive-in, and Dives. Which I love! When Chris first told me I would be eating a hamburger with an egg and relish and cheese on it I was like...hmm not happening! I held to that until we got there and the lady with 4 teeth convinced me that it would change my life...and it did. The Cheesey Western (its name) was very delicious and this tiny restaurant with super friendly people was one of my favorite parts.

The other best part was The Givens family book store and toy store. If you know me and my reading habits you would know that I was in heaven. It was such an awesome store with the coolest decorations and the most amazing people working there.

I had a blast on the east coast and although I missed home and family I loved every second of it.

How was your break?
