Conference

 I was able to go to General Conference with two of my friends Lacey and Marissa. We was a blast talking, singing and laughing in the car on the way out there. We got about 3 hours of sleep before we had to get up and be at the Morning Session on Saturday.

Paris and London

 I FINALLY made it to Europe!!! I went with my mom over New Years. We fly into Paris and spent 3 days there. We saw the outside of the Louvre, and Notre Dame. I saw the Eiffel Tower, and Arc De  Triumph. and so many other things. One night my mom and I were walking around, and we stopped at a street vendor for out dinner; mt mom got French Onion Soup and I got a delicious crepe that had Nutella and banana slices. We also went out the the Palace of Versailles. It was so so beautiful!!! Also while we were there we stopped at one of the Channel stores, and I got myself earrings. Best purchase ever!!!

 In London we saw most of the big, famous spots in one day. We went to the Tower of London, which I think was my favorite place there! I wish I had all day to spend there. I want to go back to London for at least a week and go everywhere again!! But spend a lot more time in each place.

 In Bath we went to the Royal Crest, and drank the waters there. If you drink the water then you are guaranteed to live longer. I also met people that my Mom met, and taught while she was on her mission in England. That was a lot of fun!!!

Craft Project/ Painting Party

Becky, Whitney, and I had a shoe painting party. it started out with Becky and Whitney. They found some pretty cool shoes online, and decided to paint thier own pairs of Disney inspired shoes. I came into the game super late, and I painted a pretty lame pair of soes (the last picture) I wanted to do something from Alice In Wonderland, but it all seemed really hard. So I ended up with a very unique Cheshire Cat shoes. Becky and whit kept going on with their shoes, which they did and amazing job, and I decided that I could do Better. So I decided to make Sleeping Beauty Shoes. Tell me what you think about them.

Whitney and her pair of Tangled shoes. It is the mural on the wall that she paints in the movie.

Becky's pair of UP shoes. It is the classic poster for the movie. Both girls did a GREAT job with their pairs.
My first attempt at painting....Can you see why I tried again with Becky and Whitney's awesome Shoes?!

Good Book

Okay- So I said that I was going to read good books in my Year Of Fun. So the first book was "Something Borrowed". Cute book. My friends Becky and Jessica recommended it to me, and so I read it. I like that there is so much more development in books than movies. ( I also saw the movie) But now I need to read the book after this one "Something Blue". I hope the next one is as cute as this one.

Sara Bareilles and Sugarland

This is Becky and I waiting to get into the concert. First let me say that the concert was AWESOME!!! Both acts were great. But I have to admit that I did not really know anything by Sugarland before this concert. I mean, I had heard a few songs, but I did not really know them. I am now a fan of Sugarland. And then there is Sara. The reason I wanted tickets in the first place. She was so good! I love her music. If you have not heard her stuff- look her up!! I have to say though, that my favorite part of the concert was at the end when Sara came out on stage and sang "Come on Eileen" with Sugarland. FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC!! And here are a few other pics for you. But there was one sad thing, my camera battery died right after Sugarland started, So I only have a few, really bad pictures from them. But I only put one up.

YEAR of FUN!!!

So my friend Jessica had a brilliant idea that this was going to be her Year of Fun. And since I am her BFF, she told me that I have to have my own Year of Fun. We decided this at the begining of July. Who says that a year of fun has to start in January?! So, the first event I did to celebrate my year of fun was I went to Santa Cruz with my family. We went to the Boardwalk, and down to Carmel. I will add pictures later. Here are a few things that I have planned for my year of fun already:
1- Young Single Adult Conference
2- Sara Barreilles and Sugarland Concert with Becky
3- Go to Monterey a few times (Talk to me if you want to join me)
4- Go to Paris and London for New Years.
5- Read good books
6- Go to Disneyland
7- Visit BYU-I, and go to General Conference (maybe)

I am sure there are going to be many more things to do. If you have any ideas for me please tell me!!! I am excited about my year of fun!

Happy 30th Birthday Shelly!!!!!!

For my good friend Shelly's 30th birthday- her close friends got together to celebrate. We met at our friend Jenny's house, who just recently turned 30, to start all the fun. We had dinner and got all dolled up for a fun night in the city by the Bay. Our first stop was an Irish pub that featured Dueling Pianos. What a fun experience! We sang, laughed, and they pulled the Birthday girl up on stage to sing Happy Birthday to her. After we were done there we headed over to Rickshaw Stop Dance club. It was 60's themed. They even had people there to style hair from that era. And when we were done dancing the night away we headed back to Jenny's again fro a little more fun. A few people spent the night, and we woke up to a wonderful breakfast! It was a fun night with fun people! Me and the birthday girl!
