Update

Alright here's the low down on my past weekend.  I went to this festival called the Festival of Colors.  It was at a Hare Krishna temple in Salem.  I'm not really sure what the background of all the rituals are - but what happens is you all have these bags of colored chalk and then just throw them at everyone!! Then you just chant and dance and listen to Indian music! Pretty tight is you ask me!  It took us 2 and a half hours to get to a place that's like 20 minutes away - but it was still fun.  We missed the initial chalk throwing, but we still got chalked up.  This is my face afterwards - I'm going super early next year!

We also went to the aquarium in Sandy at work on Saturday.  It was pretty cool - the aquarium was pretty darn small though.  My mom loves aquariums so I've been to quite a few big ones in my life - so this one wasn't very impressive.  It was still fun to have something to do though I guess.  And we got to pet a stingray!  They are super slimy - so I wasn't really a huge fan of that, but hey now I can say that I've petted a stingray.  

So yeah these are all the guys: Brian, Greg, Scott, Kurt.  I love the creepy fish in the back!! haha. Alright that's about all for now.  I'll write again soon!

It's Been a While

And it HAS! Sorry I haven't written on this thing in over a month! I'm not even sure my own mother reads this thing anymore, but I'm gonna keep on bloggin'! So what have I been up to in the past month? A lot of things! And I've got the pictures to prove it!

This is a pic of Kurt and I at the luau we had.  I mentioned this is my last post but I hadn't uploaded the pics to my computer yet, so here is one of them.  We are sportin' some uber hot leis! I never know if that's the correct spelling of "leis" but hey you know what I mean!
For the past few months my coworkers and I have been watching America's Best Dance Crew (ABDC) on MTV and we had a little get together/party for the season finale.  Jeremy (Jer-Bear) is on the left and Alysha is on the right.  We made a cake for the occasion of which we were all proud.  If any of you have not had a chance to watch this show it is AWESOME! And you can watch it online, so do it!
This is the bird's eye view of the cake.  The two remaining crews were the Beat Freaks and Quest Crew.  The three people in the middle are the judges of the show - Shane Sparks, Lil Mama, and JC from Nsync.  The cake tasted good too!
Then the next weekend we took the guys at work to see Disney on Ice.  This is Scott, Tasha, and I chillin' during the intermission.  It was so much fun!

Other events that happened that I did not take pictures of as well.  My mom and brother came out to do some college visits which was a lot of fun.  My mom took my roommates, my friend Alysha, my cousin Taylor, and then 2 missionaries that just got off their missions in St. Louis out to dinner Friday night to PF Changs. And wow was it good! So the waiter recommeded this shrimp dish with candied walnuts in it.  I was skeptical because I hate shrimp, but it was actuallly SO good! It was definitely the hit dish of the night - so I would highly recommend it! Saturday we spent the day in Salt Lake, which was also a lot of fun.  So overall the past month went really well!!
In other news... I found a place to live for next year and I am SOO excited!!  My friend Elizabeth and I are moving into a house south of campus, and this house seriously rocks!  It's an old victorian home.  There are 2 stories - the lower level has a living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room.  Then upstairs there are 3 bedrooms and a bathroom.  It is so freakin sweet.  And there's a basement for storage too! I'm way excited for it.... if you can't tell... I was afraid that I wasn't going to get a contract because a lot of interest has been expressed in the house, but I got in as of yesterday!  So yay!  Well that's about all for now - I promise I'll keep up with this thing more during the next month! Don't be shy about commenting!
