Something Old

My cousin Shauna and I went to Africa last summer to visit my parents who were serving a mission there. It was the best trip I have taken in my life so far. The other day my cousin posted some pictures from our trip. The picture got me thinking about my own and I decided to put one up too. Thanks for the inspiration cousin!!!

It's been a long time

So my life has been a little crazy with work. AIMS came and passed with much stress and sleepless nights. My kids worked really hard and I am very proud of them.

We did a fun activity for history with my kids, I split them up into different Greek City States and we had Olympic games. The kids made T-shirts headbands and flags for each of there groups. It was so much fun to see the kids really get into the games and all the fun we had doing the games. The best competition that we did was the Javelin the kids had to come up with the javelin to throw and it was so much fun to watch them try to cheat with the game.

We also took the kids to Sea World, they took classes at sea world and got to sleep at the park! It was rainy and cold the first night but by the second day the sun came out and it was nice and warm. It was such a blast and I was so glad that my kids got to experience this fun two days at Sea World.

I can't believe that the school year is almost over! I am ready for the break, but I will really miss this group of kids.

Viva Las Vegas!!!

About 2 weeks ago my friend Brian called me and asked me what I was doing the 5-7th because it was 2 weeks away I of course had no idea, and he suggested Vegas! We where supposed to go the weekend before for mine and his birthday and the plans fell through so I was so excited that it was on again.

I flew up Friday after work, my friend Spencer (who lives in Vegas) picked me up and we went to dinner to wait for the rest of the group to drive in from Utah. We stayed at the Encore and it was Amazing!!!!!!! I have not stayed at a hotel that nice in a long time...

After meeting with the group Brian, Chelyse, Spencer and myself went to the Monte Carlo to a Pub that has live music and dancing. We had so much fun dancing the night way and seeing all the random Vegas people. We get back to the room around 5 a.m. ha ha. Saturday we went to Ihop for breakfast and Spencer met up with us there to eat a really late breakfast/lunch.

From there we went to Bellagio which was beautiful, then on to Cesar's palace to roam around! The 4 of us had such a blast.

I don't think that I have had that much fun in a long time!!!!!!!

I am so thankful to amazing friends that help me be me and have a ton of fun!!!

Avatar 3-D

As a late celebration of my birthday my friend Brian took me to see Avatar 3-D. Knowing that I have not seen it, he decided to take me. We where supposed to go out to eat before the movie, By the time we got to the movie and bought the tickets it was too late to eat at a restaurant, so we decided to see what was around. We could only find fast place and Wendy's was the best of them all. We got some food and ate in the car.... ha ha. Not what was planned but it was a lot of fun anyway. The movie in 3-D was great. A little long but the 3-D was amazing to watch. It was a great night out and Bonus I tried something New with the 3-D movie!!

Turning 27!!!!!

Yesterday was my Birthday and it was Great!

On Friday my 6th grade team decorated the workroom with goodies from Paradise Bakery, then they treated me to Lunch at Flancers they are an amazing group of people.

I started my birthday with my dad making me breakfast to start my morning off. Next my mother came home with Purple roses that where so Beautiful!!! She also bought me some of my favorite foods like, Dark Chocolate, Peanut M&M's, and Puffy Cheetos. Kinda random but I love them all. My parents are amazing!

Later that day cousin Sarah came over and did my hair for me so that I looked all fresh and cute. Next my friend Bree-N and I went to BeniHanas which is a Japanese Place that I have been wanting to go try for a while. It was amazing!!!!! (fyi if you sign up for there chefs table you get $30 off your meal the month of your birthday) Our Chef Allen was Great he was funny and made the night so much fun. After that we met up with a few friends at a party that my friend Ben was throwing. It was fun to dance the night way with some friends and random people.

My birthday is going to last for the next week when I meet up with other friends to celebrate for another week.

Thank you to my Family and Friends for making my day so special!!!!

New thing for the week

With my new goal, trying to do something new or fun each week, I came across this restaurant Called Ah-So. I have seen this place many times because it is right next to an Applebees that my friends and I go to. I have heard that it is good but just never went. So I made the decision to go with two friends of mine. The restaurant is Japanese and they cook on a grill in front of you (kinda like Benihanas). It was amazing, our cook was fantastic, and the food was great. We had such a great time and plan to go back soon. I hope to keep my goal in mind each week and find something new or fun to do each week.

Great start to 2010!!

I have decided that 2010 is going to be all about new and exciting things. As well as making my life more meaningful and fun. On New Years Eve I saw a friend (Spencer) at a party

(I met him 4 years ago at a new years party) it was great to meet up at another party 4 years later. On Saturday he invited me out with his bro and others to eat. My friend Bree-N and I met up with a few other friends and went to Joe's BBQ to eat AmAzInG food....

Next we went to Jester'z an improve place where Ron's roommate works, it was so FuNnY I don' t think I have ever had that much fun at Jester'z. We also saw Scott Macintyre from American Idol.

After Jester'z we went to a Piano Bar on Mill Ave where they have 2 piano players that will play anything you request. It was so much fun, such a random night but AmAzInG. Spencer was so much fun, his brother Ron and his girlfriend Candice where a BlAsT. A great start to 2010 and hopefully many more nights like this one..
