You, Me, 8:30, Dinner.

I consider myself a pretty nice girl.


I like to go on dates…


With NICE guys.


NOT Cocky guys.


I was asked on a date by an extremely muscular, (steroids?) very cocky individual who is just NOT my type. He would be the guy in high school who was mean to all the special ed kids who I always wanted to punch in the face or kick in the….nevermind.


Eh hem…


Here’s how it went:


I was leaving the gym, trying to avoid usual awkward conversation with hewhoshallnotbenamed, but to my dismay, he spotted me!


“CRAP!” I thought to myself as I quickened my pace.


“Hey, you” He says


I turn my head slightly and offer a quick wave and smile.


“You, me, eight-thirty tonight, dinner.”


I think I went into complete shock.


Do people seriously do that?


Do guys HONESTLY think that is attractive? Like, “Ok I’m just going to boss this girl around and MAKE her go on a date with me and she’s going to loooove it because I am super confident and cocky.” UGH!


Like I said, I think I went into shock.


All I could do was drop my jaw in complete and utter bewilderment, slowly turn on my heel, and walk swiftly in the other direction.


Advice: If my dream guy is out there somewhere, possibly reading my blog, please do not EVER ask me out like that….just don’t. Ever.

Weekly Would You Rather

CONGRATULATIONS! You have just been nominated as the new NBA commissioner! As new commissioner

Would you rather institute…

A 3 feet tall maximum height rule

Or

Require all trash-talking be spoken in an English accent?




As funny as it might be to listen to pro athletes talk trash in English accents, I would rather watch a bunch of midgets (I’m sure that is not politically correct so forgive me….uh…little people?) play basketball and trip over their stubby little legs. Hehehe very funny indeed. Is that totally evil of me to think that? :s


So my people, what would YOU rather?

Spring Break Part III

Lake PowellAfter spending some time in Kanab with my family, a bunch of my friends and I got together to go to Lake Powell!! We stayed there for about four days and it was absolutely gorgeous.
Maddie was nice enough to invite us to stay on her houseboat, and Kaden brought his little boat so we had a blast! Here’s a picture of the girls laying out on top of the boat. The weather was perfect but the water….not so much. Haha
I got in the water a few times, but couldn’t last long enough to actually wake board! Some people were brave enough to take on the cold water, but not me! Here are some pictures of people wakeboarding.

Check out that back flip! We played beach volleyball, had awesome food, went canoeing, played games, ate s’mores around a camp fire, and just had an all around awesome time! I was smart enough to put on sun block so I didn’t get a burn, but unfortunately Quin kind of forgot about the whole sun block thing. Ouch!

I know I said I didn’t get in the water much, but when it came to cliff jumping I just couldn’t resist! It was soooo fun. We got some pretty cool videos and stuff. The boys were doing back flips! It was way sweet.

Now it's back to school, research papers, work, and the real life. I'm experiencing some major Spring Break withdrawal. :(

Spring Break Part II

Zion National Park!

Aka: my favorite place on earth!

My brother, mom, and I all hiked Angel’s Landing and we had soooo much fun! I seriously love love LOVE Zion. Here are some pictures from our day! The first would be our classic Peek-a-boo shot. I love the look on Dj's face.

They put this sign in the picture above right before it gets REALLY scary. Comforting, isn't it? And this would be the high point of the hike where Dj couldn't continue. He was all shaky and stuff I felt so bad! haha My Mom didn't even make it this high so I consider it an accomplishment for us! I can't even believe I leaned over the edge like this. It was SO high. There are more pictures, but we look like ants so I'll refrain from posting them.

It was another fantastic day in the park. I LOVE hiking and am so glad I have parents who have raised me that way. :)

Spring Break Part I

Vegas!

My friends and I decided to start our spring break off with a BANG by going to Vegas and going clubbing!

We were mucho excited as you can tell.

We got there and after eating at The Cheesecake Factory realized “We don’t have dresses!” So we decided to do what any poor college student would do…go to Ross. Did you know that there is a Ross on the strip? Go figure!
We found some dresses that were pretty cheap…and pretty skanky but what can you do, it’s Vegas!

We have some friends who hooked us up with a hotel suite in the Wynn and it was AMAZING. The picture above is my favorite because you can see our view of the city, part of our room, AND

our somewhatskanybutohsovegasworthy dresses. The to the left is my favorite part of our sweet suite...the bathroom!

We went to a club in the Palms (with our special VIP passes) and had an absolute blast! There was a big group of about 14 of us so it was super fun. It is spring break so the place was full of college kids having a good time. My favorite feature was the fire that came out of the ceiling and the bubbles they dropped from the roof!

I could’ve stayed there all night but 3:00am hit and my feet just weren’t having it anymore so we decided to go back to our hotel and take a nice luxurious bubble bath in our Jacuzzi tub.

*sigh*
That is just phase one of my spring break. You better believe there is more to come as the week continues!

I've Got A Fever!

And the only cure for that fever is SPRING BREAK!

I have spring fever SO bad. I have a ten page research paper due soon and a math test that I need to take by Friday. Ask me how much homework I’ve done this week. Go ahead, DO IT….

Answer: NONE

Instead, I’ve decided to occupy my time with sleep, dates, tennis, being outside, mini golf, daydreaming about my spring break, pre St. Patrick’s Day parties, and more sleep. I tried to do homework today but instead decided to write about my spring fever. This is really bad you guys….REALLY bad.

Oh and to top it all off- I’m losing my mind.

Yes you heard me, LOSING MY MIND. Why? Well…..I kinda sorta lost my car keys and kinda sorta have come to the conclusion that I must have accidentally thrown them in the garbage which means they are now at the dump, which also means I am out a car key, flash drive, car unlock thing, sweet “Hooters” keychain, and my Gold’s gym pass.

Yeah. I know. What an idiot! I blame it all on my fever. Only a few more days of school left then I’m free!

The good news is I ACED my dance test and my tennis serve is improving a lot! THE END. Thanks for listening to me complain. :)

Weekly Would You Rather

Confession: I have a fetish with “would you rather” questions.

What better way to honor that fetish than to dedicate one day a week on my blog to a “would you rather” question?!


Here’s how it goes, once a week I am going to post a “would you rather” question and my answer. Then YOU can either answer it by posting a comment on my site, OR writing your own blog post to answer! Pretty sweet eh? Ok, here it goes!


Would You Rather….

Speak in the voice of possessed Linda Blair in The Exorcist whenever talking to cashiers and retail workers


OR

Have “Starbucks Tourettes” where you randomly exclaim Starbucks orders?
(For example….”Hi, How are—DOUBLE DECAF ICED MOCHA FRAP!”


My answer:

This is definitely a tough one. After much deliberation I have come to the conclusion that I would rather speak in the voice of the possessed chick in The Exorcist when talking to cashiers and retail workers.


Why?

Unlike “Starbucks Tourettes” you can actually avoid shopping situations. However if you were faced with a shopping situation then you could always find the humor in TOTALLY freaking out all the retail workers, right? Then again, I've never seen the movie so....maybe some of you would think differently.

Besides, have you heard how long some of those drink orders can get? All I know is that I use to work at a coffee shop and DANG! There’s no way I would want to be randomly yelling out those orders.


Now lets hear it, what would YOU rather?

Week O' Fun

I had SOOOOOO much fun this week! Ambassadors needed someone to go to Vegas for a high school career fair so I volunteered. I was way excited to go because my older sister Sarah just got a new house in Vegas so I really wanted to go visit her! I went down the night before, hung out with my sister and her husband, went shopping, and did my recruiting thing. It was an awesome little trip!

Wednesday I gave my literature/math connection lesson in my math class. I had so much fun with it! I found a book called “Pigs Will Be Pigs” about money so I acted as if my classmates were 2nd graders, had them make piggy banks, and while we read the book they searched for money and put it in their piggy banks. I had a lot of fun with it and it made me EXTREMELY excited to become a real teacher one day.

Thursday, Friday, AND Saturday I went on dates! Haha I think it was the first time I’ve had date night for THREE nights in a row. The first night I went to a basketball game, to dinner, and was pleasantly surprised with my favorite bedtime snack of gram crackers and milk for dessert! Haha

Date #2 was fun too! We went to dinner at Don Pedros which is an AMAZING Mexican restaurant, to a movie which was terrible. “Push”….don’t see it. Haha We had fun making fun of the movie so that was still good, then we played around on Dixie rock!

Date #3 was definitely my favorite. My friends and I decided to go on a big group date to Pine Valley! We stayed at my Grandpa’s cabin and seriously had a blast! We made dinner, played games, went on a late night stroll, played more games, and watched movies. The next morning we all went to church in Pine valley and afterwards made a Sunday brunch casserole that was way good (if I do say so myself) took a little nap, watched another movie, and headed home around 4.

I just had such a good week and I’m still waaaay happy about it! I LOVE St. George, the weather right now is AMAZING! Above is a picture of all the girls (aka my future roomies) in the kitchen. :) I wish I would’ve taken more pictures but I think I was just having too much fun!
