VEGAS

With so much going on here in Provo, I decided to take off and go visit Jeffrey in Las Vegas! It was such a wonderful trip!

Highlights included:

1. Eating at in-n-out. We went straight to lunch right after I landed. Yum...a cheeseburger with grilled onions!

2. I got a pair of SPERRYS at the outlet mall on sale!!

3. We went to Phantom! It was so wonderful! I absolutely LOVED it! The theater was amazing and made specifically for that show! THEN afterwards we went on a back stage tour! Jeffrey and I got a picture standing on the stairs from the masquerade scene in the show! SO cool!

4. Bonfire with smores. This probably occurred 3 out of the 4 nights I was there.

5. SWIMMING! I got a cute swimsuit that I put to good use swimming in the pool! I even got the courage up to dive into the water!

6. Cheesecake factory. Jeffrey and I went on our first date their, and every time I go to Vegas we go eat there. It was so fun!

7. Bellagio fountains and New York New York roller coaster! I loved BOTH of these so much! The fountains never get old! I could watch them all day! Then I went on the roller coaster for the first time and had a blast! I love rides and this was a really fun one.

8. Enjoying the beautiful weather and spending time outside. We were able to just sit in the backyard, go on walks, eat dinner outside etc. I thought I would die from the heat, but it was perfect!

Now i am back in Provo, and it is back to real life. I got a job working as a CNA! Hooray! I am also spending time catching up on school work. Life is good as usual!

Its about time

Hey. Its me again. My first year of nursing school is over...and I have a life again! I know my blog has been nothing but boring, but I think its about time to change that. (Also, my loving sister has requested some life updates!)

What have I been up to?

1. Merging of relief societies. We now have 1 relief society in my ward with 75 girls! It has been a lot of work, but it is so much fun. I love getting to know everyone and spending time with each girl.

2. Attending BYU for my last spring term--I GRADUATE in August! Hooray! I am doing research for a professor and taking my last few classes needed to graduate.

3. Training for a triathlon. My good friend from nursing convinced me to sign up to do a triathlon with her in July. It has been great starting to work out again. I did a spring triathlon a couple of summers ago, so I am ready for another one!

4. Jobless. I have applied to A MILLION (no exaggeration) jobs, but still no luck. I got my CNA certification and was hoping to start working in the hospital. I still have hope.

5. Fun dates. Jeffrey left for his internship recently, so before he left we tried to get in a few really fun dates. We went to an AMAZING restaurant called La Caille that was so nice, beautiful, and romantic! Our table looked out the window at these beautiful gardens and little creek. I got to dress up in my fabulous green silk dress that Mom and Dad gave me for Christmas. Other dates included watching the movie Twilight, watching the TV show 24, eating at Yozone, PF Changs, and playing catch with the football.

good quote, good picture

President Uchtdorf, Priesthood session: "Our weakness lies in our failure to align our actions with our conscience."

katie porter

i love katie porter. we share a great love for dicks hamburgers, cheese, high school musical, and so you think you can dance.

day planner

Can i just tell you how much I love/depend on my day planner! Every aspect of my life is written down in that little book! The other day I lost it. It was very frustrating. And I realized-I AM WAY TOO BUSY IF I CANNOT FUNCTION WITHOUT MY PLANNER! But alas, i cannot eliminate anything, so I will continue to be a day planner addict! Am I the only one who is so dependent on day planners!?

Best Friends-a photo album

I have had some of the best friends throughout the years! Here is a photo collage of the fun times I have had with some of the best friends ever!

cute heels do not make good walking shoes

Now that the holidays are over...i have more time so i blog...HA! yeah right, school is busier than ever and with everything else i am doing there is little time. But just to keep you entertained and updated on my life here is a little story for you:

New years eves-A beautiful night is las vegas. the game plan was to park close and walk a few blocks to our desination on the strip. doesn't sound that hard. because of the short distance i put on silver heels that looked fabulous with my outfit. and that is what we did-walked a few blocks.

i go to the bathroom at mcdonalds and when i come out the plans have changed. We now need to go to the other end of the strip to see fireworks and evil kinevel jump. sounds like fun. we walk back to the car to drive a little closer. then we start on the journey. a few blocks has now turned into a few miles. i am doing just fine. after mile one-my feet start to hurt pretty bad. but who wants to be the party pooper? not me, so i did not say anything. we finally get to the strip. we celebrate the new year....except we are on the wrong side of the building and we cannot see the fireworks or evil kinevel!!! After walking a lot of the strip i cannot take it anymore. i tell jeffrey that i can no longer walk because my feet hurt so bad and they are swollen.

I then am carried piggy back style. After awhile jeffrey got tired. So i told him i would try walking again...but i could not. my feet hurt so bad i could not even fit them back into my shoes!! the statement is true-beauty is pain. so jeffrey carried me some more on his back.

Finally, jeffreys arms were getting very tired and we switched the the shoulders. This worked out quite nicely-for me at least ;-) Needless to say, i will not be wearing heels to the strip again.
