Back Home to Vegas

During Fall Break I was so happy because James and I were able to go home for the weekend. It was so awesome! I am use to being able to go home like every other month so it feels like it has been FOREVER since I have been to Vegas!! I was so happy too cause my cousin Spencer and his cute wife Carissa were able to come with us!! It was so much fun having them there they whole time and it made the car trip more barable (I hate driving in the car for long periods of time...)

I think James usually gets bored when I visit home because all I want to do is hang out at the house and play with my mom and siblings...So this visit I made sure that we had a bunch of things to do every day, and Spencer and Carissa were my motivation. We actually went down to the Strip everyday which is impressive for me since I rarely ever go down there unless it has to do with shopping...

The first thing that we did when we got into Vegas was eat at In-N-Out of course! Then we hit up all of the factories like Coca-Cola and M&M... Played at Gameworks, went to my favorite store in the whole wide world: Tillys, did a little shopping at the Las Vegas Outlet Malls, Checked out the Wax Museum, played a lot on the Rip Stick, rode a rollercoaster, ate out at the Buffet in Mandalay Bay, ate yummy gelato at Bellagio, and my mom made us amazing dinners every night we were there! I also was the tour guide the whole weekend as we hit up a bunch of Casinos...We went to: Mandalay Bay, Rio, Ceasars Palace, Circus Circus, Planet Hollywood, The Venetian, The Palms, the New York New York and the Bellagio.




Here are some pictures of the trip! EnJoY!

Rock Star Party

I just got home from such a fun party! Andrea threw a rockstar party for her birthday and it was such a blast! There were so many people there and everyone was just having so much fun. It was rockstar themed so everyone dressed up as rockstars and danced the night away ;) We all danced, played rockband, sat around a fire pit and ate yummy food. The best thing about it was my two sisters came down to spend the weekend with me for Conference and they were able to come to the party. We all got ready before hand and got all dressed up! I love my sisters so much, they are so much fun and I love getting to hang out with them! Alicia also was able to go to the party with us (I love her so much!). Happy birthday Andrea, I love you girl, and you rock!!

Here are some pictures of the fun night!



Here are some modeling pictures of James and me!...Isn't he so cute?!





I love my Andrea so much!

It was so much fun because all of our friends worked the event! It was awesome! It was James, Me, Andrea, Jake, Craig, Tasha, and Ryan! and I thought I had tons of gum after the Stride promotion!... haha, well if anyone wants some gome just give me a call ;)


Here is are wonderful Penske truck! It was literally packed full of gum ceiling to floor!...and we handed out all of them!! We got kicked out of the mall, so we are just chillin ;)

Swiss Days

This past weekend my awesome aunt Jami invited me to go up to Midway for Swiss Days! I had never heard about it before and it sounded fun especially since it was going to be just a girls outing. She was so cute and organized the whole trip!! We all met at her house and carpooled up to Park City. It was such a blast hanging out with just the girls. There were a total of ten of us that stayed the weekend. Jami got a rad condo in Park City that she and her friends stayed at and the rest of us stayed the night at Josephine's Condo, which I am in love with! I thought Swiss Days was a really neat event, but it was so crowded! There were people all over in that little town! I did like all of the cute booths they had even though I didn't buy a single thing! But of course, after we had seen the whole event, we had to hit up the outlet mall in Park City! I got a sweet deal on some Van's shoes for $15....Here are some pictures of the weekend!

In this picture there is Jami's sister Chanel, my sister Alex, my cousin-in-law Carissa, Jami, me, and my sister-in-law-to-be Josephine!



The food lines were out of control... They had a lot of yummy food, but I did not want to stand in all of the lines.


This was the coolest playhouse ever! Haha, aren't Jos and I just so cute!


You can see in this picture how packed it was!


This is at Josephine's condo. She has a hot tub on her patio and a sweet hamick. I loved her place so much! James and I will definitely have to come visit more often ;)




So it was pretty much a fun weekend! We will definitely have to do a girls thing again!

College Graduate!

Yep, that's right! This past weekend I graduated from BYU! I graduated with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Recreation Managment and Youth Leadership from the College of Health and Human Performance! It was such an amazing experience because I was able to spend the whole time with my family. My family drove up from Las Vegas to be there and also James's Dad came up from New Mexico. James's brother Craig and his fiance Josephine came down from Park City. Also my grandparents were home from their mission in Finland so they were able to be there and James's grandma, was there too! It was so awesome to see my family and spend time with them. I love them so much!

It feels so good to be done with school! Now I guess I have to get a real job ;) I am currently working for the City of Provo in their Recreation Department. I plan and organize their special events that they put on for the community. I also just started working for the 4-H Afterschool program at Canyon View Jr. High. I coordinate the programs and clubs at the Jr. High and the special events. It has been such a great experience, and I love working in the recreation field. Sometimes it doesn't even feel like work...;)

Here are some pictures of the exciting day!

Here is my family sitting in the crowd!


I love these guys!

The Ultimate Date List

So lately I have been making lists for everything... I always think of things or come up with ideas and forget about them... So this list thing all started when I wanted to write down all of my favorite movies that I absolutely love. I didn't realize how many movies there were that I love and a lot of them are movies that have come out in the past year! But anyway, I have been having a lot of fun with it and one of the lists I have made is the Ultimate Date List!

Whenever James and I want to go do something fun or have friends who want to do something with us I feel like we can never think of what to do! Especially since my favorite thing to do is watch a movie, it can be really easy to just do dinner and a movie. I thought that it would be really neat to have a list of date ideas and then all you would have to do is look at the list and choose something fun to do. Or the list could possibly spark a fun idea!


So I wrote down everything that I could possibly think of that you could do on a date or any activity that you could do here in Utah. I think that I have come up with a pretty good list! It ended up being around 4 pages long! I have a link so you can view the awesome list ;) If you think of a new date/activity idea let me know and I will add it to the list!

Jim Sturgess

 


Ok, so I cannot get enough of Across the Universe Soundtrack. The Beatles are amazing, but even more I love the sound of Jim Sturgess's voice! I just rewatched the movie last week and I forgot how much I love the music in it! All of my favorite parts in the movie are sung by Jim sturgess. My most favorite part in the movie is the Bowling Alley where he sings "I have just seen a face". It is the cutest part of the movie. I also love "Revolution" and "All My Loving"!! I put all of the best songs onto my music playlist. -so check them out! If you have not seen this movie you should! And you should get the soundtrack!
