...vegas...

We just got back from sunny LAS VEGAS and boy was I bummed to come home!! At least it is beautiful outside finally!! We had such a great time!! This trip began a few months ago when Brandon was like..."We can stay in Vegas at the Tropicana for $90.00 a night" so to that I said "Let's do it"!! Well it turned out that our buddies Wade and Chad would be there for The Killers concert and Schmieg and Sam were going to go too so we made it a little getaway!! SO FUN!!! So we headed down Friday once we got to our hotel we had a little unexpected SURPRISE...

YES...those are mirrors on our ceiling!! Only in VEGAS baby and probably only at the Tropicana!! I think I laughed for 10 min. straight...I thought it was hilarious!! Not only were there mirrors on the ceiling (on no) they were on the headboard, the wall, and then the standard mirror by the TV...mirrors were EVERYWHERE!!That night everyone headed to The Killers concert and me and Brandon headed to see KA!! It was amazing!! I loved every second of it, it was the most visual stage I have ever seen!! I highly recommend it!! After the show Brandon and I headed to the Coke factory and experienced the tastes around the world...most were pretty gross!! Brandon decided to make the suicide drinks of all suicide drinks and mixed them all together...needless to say he thought it was pretty good. The next day we all headed to the pool for a bit, hung out and lounged!! It was great...Chad and Wade headed home:( and the rest of us got ready and headed out to the Shark Reef aquarium and walked the strip!! I am so mad at myself for not getting a group picture...what the heck...oh well, Vegas was great!!

...it's been awhile...

WARNING: If easily offended...probably skip this post!!! But it is a FUN one!!!
So I was lucky enough to attend Britney Spears!!! It was AWESOME...so entertaining, she looked incredible, and the dancers were so GOOD!!! It was such a great girl's night...I LOVED it!! We made killer shirts (sorry if we offend, all in a good time) that we should have sold and made bank because everyone wanted one, and I got to hang out with some incredible girls that I met!! I loved them, I can't wait until we all play again!! Nat...thanks for the invite it was so much FUN!!!

...easter 2009...

I absolutely LOVE Easter!! I love its meaning and I love being with my family and doing the things we have done since I was a baby. Ever since I can remember we always go to the zoo!! It was a beautiful day (finally). The night before Easter I headed home to color eggs (Brandon had school...lame). We tried to be so creative with the eggs, it turned out to be more of disaster so our eggs are a little ghetto, but we had fun. Love you mom and "g"!! Ryan, my mom, and my grandma spoiled us rotten with cute Easter baskets...It was such a great day...THANK YOU:)

...best two hours...

The feeling that all of the air I have in my body is taken out of me and I have nothing left to give but I have to keep on going...is the BEST feeling in the world!! I just got back from an amazing dance practice where I felt like I was in College again!! It was the best and the practice took place in one of the most memorable and at home places I have ever danced...The Huntsman Center!!! I dance on a professional company that is directed by the former University of Utah Crimson Line Coach!! It was an AWESOME...however I did get a floor burn on my toe ( I know you want to see it:), but no worries I treated myself to an Oreo McFlurry!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Lori for letting me be apart of it:)Dancing has been such a huge part of my life...it is my therapy. It is something that I can do and have absolutely every feeling felt...sad, happy, joy, pain, love, hate, passion...etc to name a few!! I may not be amazing at it, but man, does it make me feel complete and balanced!! Gosh...I just love it. I have been so blessed to be on such amazing teams and get to do some pretty awesome things:) Above all I have met some incredible people that I will love until the days are gone...and I know for a fact that I have had the BEST coaches in the entire world!! I hope more than anything I can bring the same joy to my little drill team...If anything I want them to dance so they can shut the day away for a couple of hours and just love every sweaty, painful, incredible second of it!! I LOVE IT and I hope that I am still dancing when I am 99 years old:)
