My hypnotic paintballing cluish week

Hey-Oh! I'm amazed at all that's happened this week. First of all, we had an ambassador party and it was soooo much fun. The theme was CLUE so everyone dressed up and had parts and there was even a murder during the night! It was insane. Here's a little taste of what we were all dressed up as...
Pretty sweet, eh? On Thursday night I went to The Electric Theatre for a concert. Five different bands played and I'm really glad I went because they were all good, and I met some new people. Friday night we had an entertainment Dixie and it was a hypnotist! It was probably the craziest thing I've ever seen. The hypnotist had people thinking they were Nsync, aliens, ballerinas, naked...and a lot of other things! It was absolutely hilarious.

Look at all these beautiful ballerinas!!

Saturday I went paint balling with a group of people. I had never been before and although everyone else didn't know I was super nervous... I WAS! For some reason I was freaking out in my mind but once we got started I had a blast. It was fun acting like James Bond and shooting people. I actually didn't hit anyone...but that's not important. ;) I do have some pretty sweet battle scars though! Below is a picture of Cody and I getting in the zone for our battle. We're hardcore, we know.

Best Semester Break EVER


As much as I absolutely LOVE going to school all the time, ;) this break was definitely needed. On Wednesday after my classes seven other ambassadors and myself went to Vegas for the recruitment fair. Above is a picture of everyone. We're crazy-I know. The recruitment fair is a big convention where colleges and universities from all over the nation come and represent their schools while high school students walk around and check out all their options. Not to brag or anything, but Dixie State definitely had one of the best booths there. I had a blast talking to people about Dixie. It really made me realize how great it is here, and how much I love it. Also this week there was a Halloween carnival. Below is a picture of Bree dressed as a bumble bee, Carley as a work out barbie, and me as a jungle woman. You gotta love it. :D

I spent Wednesday and Thursday in Vegas and Friday night I went camping with a big group of people. It was really fun because I hadn't been camping in a while. I had about a billion s'mores and they were absolutely delectable. Here's a picture of some of the group. We had soooooo Much fun.
Although it was hard to do, I got up Saturday morning and went to Kanab for my friend's baby shower that I threw for her. I had never thrown a baby shower before but I'd say it was a huge success. Here's a picture of my friend Jori (prego) and my other friend Cortni before the shower. She's due in three weeks and I'm way excited for her.

Till next week blog readers!

I <3 My Professors!

Hey all! Last week was awesome. Can I just say that I love all my professors? Because I do! Here's a little example of why- My friend and I handed in our assignments for nutrition, but somehow they never got to our teacher. You'd think that a normal college professor would just say, "Forget you, You're probably lying, Do it again." but no! Mrs. Demaree Johnson searched high and low for our papers, called the other professors and was finally able to find them. Even though she found them late, we both received full points. I thought that was extraordinary of her because honestly, she didn't have to go to such great lengths for us, but she did because she cares. I'm very impressed with all of my teachers here at Dixie. This weekend I went to the volleyball game against BYU Hawaii. We lost :( but we put up a good fight. I went on a date to this Greek restaurant called Basili's (or something like that) and the food was amazing! I've never had Greek food before but that restaurant has now converted me. I also went night bowling with a big group of people and it was a blast. Basically...I LOVE IT HERE!

Viva Las Vegas



This week was once again...a blur. School and homework all just seemed to run together. Its taking some getting use to living with five other girls. Yeah I know, I'm insane. Luckily I have my own room or else I seriously think I might die. My roommates and I made a sign that says, "Chores are like boyfriends, NO ONE else should be doing yours!" I thought it was pretty dang sweet, and hopefully we got our point across. :S I went on a date this week and it was a blast! We went golfing and let me tell you-golfing is hard. I have a new respect for anyone who can hit that stupid little ball that doesn't ever move. haha This weekend was really fun. I went to Vegas with my two roommates and best friends in the whole world! We shopped, at dinner (mmmmmmm) and walked the strip observing all the crazy things that go on there. Above is a picture of us being Egyptian for some odd reason and below is a picture of us in front of Caesar's palace. (Left to Right--Random drunk man, Me, Katie and Cortni).
