Princess Party

For our Relief Society birthday party, our enrichment committee decided we would have a princess party where we would focus on the idea that we are princesses of our Heavenly Father. We all dressed up in our beautiful evening wear and had desert crepes. The girls did a skit about how our Father sent us down to earth to turn us from frogs into princesses of noble birth. One of the girls, as part of the skit, sang "Daughter of a King" accapella and it was beautiful. I had a lot of fun dressing up and making myself look pretty. I haven't worn a prom type dress for years and actually had to borrow one because I figured I wouldn't be wearing one ever again or have any reason to wear one. I hope the next beautiful dress I get to wear is all white where I get walk to the temple with my prince!

"We were born into this world as princesses and in the proccess of growing up, we turned into frogs. The goal of life is not to be a better frog in a bigger pond, but to regain your true identity as a princess of a noble birth, a child of God."

The Joys of Bonfires

Tuesday night I went to a bonfire to celebrate the official beginning of spring break; yet, I'm not on spring break. Go figure. We went a little crazy with the camera but it was all in fun. We all met in one of the downstairs apartments and left around 8:30. We were supposed to meet at 8:00, but you know MST (Mormon Standard Time) :) We drove up the Provo Canyon and went to Vienna Park. Poor Sydney had to drive the big, huge truck and didn't have lights on the inside so she couldn't figure out how fast she was going unless we shined our cell phone lights on the speedometer! Once we got up there, we realized we were the bright ones of the group and had no flashlights and had to walk up to where we were. There was still snow on the ground and it was freezing! Okay, so like around 42 but we were averaging 65 in the valley. We, well the boys, started the fire, boyscout way, and we all huddled around trying to get warm. We had all the necessities for a bonfire: marshmallows, graham crackers, Hershey's chocolate, and starbursts. Yes you read right. Roasted starbursts are so good! I love it and I introduced it to quite a few people.

There were so many people that showed up. It was insane and it was a huge fire and began to burn my legs under my jeans. I hate that. A few of us had made foil dinners and so we cooked those on the coals. It took three tries to get mine cooked because I had hamburger meat in it and it took forever. Third times the charm! Overall, it was a fun night. I came home smelling like smoke and fire, but hey, isn't that what bonfires are all about?

Gotta Love the Roommates

So, I have some of the most fun roommates. It's taken us awhile to get to know each other and become friends because our personalities are very different, but it's been so worth it in the process. Last week, Heather decided that she wanted to go hot tubbing but neglected to
tell me it was with a bunch of guys. I had just gotten out of the shower and was just like, "What the heck? Sure, I'll go." Needless to say, I had no make-up, my hair was still wet, so I just threw it in a bunish type thing on the top of my head. Right, I looked so good as you can tell in my pic. Well, we went down and our hot tub has been having issues lately with being warm and it was seriously colder than bath water. I just stayed wrapped in my towel stuck my feet in. After about 20 minutes, I gave in and went back up and studied for my Praxis.





Apparently, the rest of them stayed up til 3 in the morning and watched a movie; well, kinda. They fell asleep because it was some kind of dumb boy movie that they didn't like.

We also love to take crazy pics. Heather and Dani are famous for their crazy faces. The two of them barged into my room when I was in my gigantic sweatshirt and pajama pants and started taking pictures. Also once again with no make-up on again. (Really, I do get ready in the morning :)) Anyway, so here are some fun, crazy pictures of us on here. Hope you enjoy them and I love my roommates!!!

A New Love

As you read the title, don't get all excited; I'm not in love or getting married. Why on earth would I do that?! LOL. (one of these days) Anyway, I don't think anyone really knows this about me, but one of my new favorites loves is scenery. I honestly hate hiking and climbing rocks and whatnot to see different types of scenery, but I love to take pictures of it. Every time I change the background on my computer, I always look for beautiful scenic pictures of the ocean, sunsets, and even baby animals. So on my way home from Park City today, while driving I might add, I kinda just took my camera and took pics out my passenger side window. Don't worry I didn't look while I took it. It was kinda just trial and error. Some turned out okay; overall, they were bad. But I've also just added a picture that I just think is really pretty on here for all the share and drool over! :)

It's Been a While

So it's been quite a while since I have been decided there's been anything worthwhile to blog. About a month actually. My friend Tawny brought it to my attention today that it was time to blog something new; so I decided I'll just make this a random one. All last week during school we had spirit week. The kids dressed up as super heros one day and one and my crazy students wore a super hero contest of one of the ninja turtles. When he walked into class with his turtle shell and eye band, I just about busted a gut. (Posted is a pic). He ended up taking the shell off because it was too hot! He reminds me so much of my little brother, Ryan, when he was that age. Small, braces, short, full of life, and funny. He can always make me laugh and when I try and get mad at him for talking too much, sometimes I can't stay serious. That class is total fun. On Friday, we had an assembly where all of the classes, 7th, 8th, 9th, and teachers competed against each other. We had a pie eating contest, over-under basketball, dress-up relay, and a water balloon toss. I did the water balloon toss and got about 3/4 of the way across the gym before I threw it too low. My bad. But, of course, the teachers won. It was great fun against the kids and fun for them to see me in a different light instead as my authoritative teacher.
