True Colors :)

This year the Festival of Colors was amazing... as always. I went down with a bunch of friends and had a blast. This whole day was really good, so lets start at the beginning shall we? I think so..



Lisa, Jill, Jazon and I met up at the Institute parking lot to carpool down to Spanish Fork for the festival. I had us get a picture of us with our cars because we have all been with each other when we got our new cars this year. That was an adventure. All the cars are named, Jazons truck is Nigel, my car is Flo, and Lisa's car is Fabio. OK trivia time..what Disney movie did these names come from??....That is correct, NEMO!!! So any-who we all drove down there in my car after some other friends met up with us.

There were just a few things that the people in charge of the festival asked, one was not to throw any of the color before the ceremonial burning of the witch. People dont listen and so after Jazon and I had gotten some amazing Indian lunch (mmmmmmm curry!!) we were walking back to find the group and people started throwing color at us. That bugged.... but what do you do.

Look close and you will see a boy crowd surfing. He was separated from his mom so he was being sent back over to her. When he got over to her, she grabbed him and was kissing his head. I love seeing a mom re-unite with her child :)

This was after the color had been thrown and then settled. When the color was thrown, it was a huge cloud, you couldn't see anyone around you it was so think! If you took a breath through your mouth the color would coat your mouth and you would have to spit it out...it was nasty tasting. If you took a breath through your nose you would start coughing. SO after learning that a couple of times I just put my shirt over my nose and tried my best to breathe that way. Next year I am wearing a mask.

Some of us after our color was gone...or so I thought, Jazon ended up throwing yellow on me several times right in the mouth....The color was scented, colored, corn starch..... YUCK!!!



As many of the group as we could find. This was so much fun, I am defiantly want to go again next year!






Now don't you worry, my car has had every nook and cranny cleaned, that was what I did till it was dark after I got home and showered. My car has never been cleaner.

Random Update :)

There is no way that I can make what has been going on since the last post short enough for an update. It would be a book series! So I will post some pictures of the highlights of the past months. It will be much more enjoyable for all of us!


These are the most amazingly stylish glasses known to man! This is my good friend Rob and I seeing Avatar in IMAX 3D...this was my second time seeing it and Rob's 3rd or 4th time I think. This movie was so much fun! I LOVED it!! Notice the 2 random girls behind us. It was pretty funny :)


This picture is a All-time favorite! These are my two best friends that I have grown up with :) I love them so much. This picture is the 3 of us at a surprise party that Rob and My family put together for me for my 21st birthday! This was by far the best birthday I have ever had!! I had my closest friends there and got to spend time with each of them. This was also the day that I got in a car accident and totaled my car (it wasn't my birthday..it was December 19th a few days before my birthday).... what a day! It ended in the most amazing way, there is no way it could have been better.




These two pictures are of a random road *less than 24 hour* trip to WY to get my friend Jazons truck he was buying. The 3 of us (Lisa, Jazon and I) had soooo much fun! The road sign above was the LITTLE town we went to. Little may be too big of a word. In this town there was a Grocery, Appliance, and Souviner shop all in one and a Bar, Auto Shop and Daycare all in one. Pretty sure places like this do exist!! It was an awesome trip. I love those guys! We all drove up in my rental car that I had and then Lisa and I drove back in my car and Jazon in his new truck (Nigel). We stopped in Park City (I had never been) and had dinner. One of the funnest road trips ever!



I love sunset, sunrise, the sky at anytime of day. I love when the rays shine through the clouds. I saw the picture above when I looked in my rear view mirror and so I turned the car around and grabbed my camera and took a couple of pictures of the beautiful sight I was seeing! I saw this on my way to watch the little guy you see above. I have been so blessed to be able to watch little Nate. He is such a sweet, happy, fun little boy! I love it when I get to watch him! Dont you just love those cheeks!! SO kissable!!

These are just a few highlights the busy amazing life I am so very blessed to lead :) I will try to be better at keeping this thing updated!

Crazy Friends In My Life

My dear Amanda and I

These boys are my favorite! I love um to pieces! They are always making me laugh :)



My dear friends Rob and Robyn!!

Life is happy and good, my friends are amazing! Today is amazing and has been a great Thanksgiving! i am so grateful for my Family and Friends. School is awesome, Its been a great semester. Happy Thanksgiving :)

NEW CAR!

So this is my new car! Well not mine but a picture of the one that I have and they look just alike! It's a 2000 Chevy Malibu! She is such a good car and very smooth and fairly fuel efficient! She loves long drives and playing music really loud :) She has been named Little Mookie, she has also been nicknamed "The Boo". I love driving her and love that I dont have to fill her up all the time. Little Mookie has 124,000 miles on her which is not too bad at all. She and I are in for a lot of fun new adventures! YAY!

As some of you know I have been working for the past year and half to loose weight and get healthy. I have put this little picture thing together its not the best of pictures to compare but you can still see a difference :) Some of the major differences I have been seeing is, I am in a large shirt instead of a 2XL, I eat much much less and feel full, I sleep much much better, I have so much more energy, I fit on roller coasters, I am more alert, I am happier, I have more confidence, I enjoy physical activities, I can cross my legs, I can run up the stairs and not fill winded. Just to name a few :) I am cont. my journey of weight loss and loving all that I am learning. I will post more pictures as I get them. I dont have a current one right now that shows the real difference, this mid-way picture is from the beginning of summer. Life is great and being healthy is even more great!

Another 5k

I did my 2nd 5k on the 18th and I am happy to say that I beat my time! I am so glad that I have found something that is working for me to get in shape and to get healthy! I used to wear a 2XL shirt and now I am down to a Large :) I am thinking about doing another 5k on the 1st of August, we will see if I can pull out the money, I may do it not competing and see my time. I don't have pictures for this one :( oh well. A funny thing happened with the packets for this 5k. When we signed up for it they said that we would get a t-shirt and we would get a finishing medal. When I picked up the packets the lady stuck a medal in the sacks! I asked if they were the finishing medals and she said yes! We hadn't even done the 5k and we already had the finishing medals!! I thought that it was pretty funny!

Creating Masterpieces

I love editing pictures and making them unique and fun so here are a few :)
