I love meeting famous people!

Chelsea Hightower

Mark Ballas

Thayne Jespersen

So Ash and I got to go to the Covey center and meet Thayne from So You Think You Can Dance and Mark Ballas and Chelsey Hightower from Dancing with the Stars. They were dancing with this studio that seemed to be a bunch of high school performers. But the dancing was sooooo good! I got so nervous and felt really awkward asking total strangers to take a picture with me especially total strangers that I love watching on TV! but finally we got up the nerve and I'm so glad we did! it was SOOOOOOO fun! We are going again on Saturday night because Derek Hough from Dancing with the Stars is supposed to be there too so I can't wait! This clip was a dance that Mark choreographed Mark and Chelsea Dancing together

I'm Alive!

filling out the police report (oh poor pregnant driver sheesh)

In this one the car door is shut as much as it can be. It was snowing in the car on our way back, too bad you can't see completely but it was pretty crazy how damaged her one door was.

TOO TOO Many car crashes for one weekend!

So I won't give a very detailed description of the first one because it's boring and well I basically hit ice and scrapped the bumper of a parked car (which the owner of had been hit 2 times already that day). HOWEVER I will say this: it was a miracle that I did not injure my car and that I only scratched his! Man oh man! I came home that night feeling a bit scared about having to pay for his scratches but mostly just grateful and relieved that I wasn't going faster than 20 miles an hour and that the owner was so nice AND that I was safe and not injured!

SOOOOOOOOOOO let's get to the exciting freeway accident which then occurred Saturday afternoon! I was with my 3 friends coming back from a bridal expo in Salt Lake (which was really fun-good food :) ) and my friend Melissa (who is pregnant p.s.) is driving (she drives a suburban luckily). So we're going about 70 in the middle lane when all of a sudden a little yellow car cuts in front of us and zooms off. Then it all happened really fast:

I see out of the corner of my eye this white car and the sound of breaks. The white car comes head on to the drivers door (I'm sitting behind the driver) and then the white car spins out of control repeatedly across the freeway to the left side. Some how we end up on the right side of the freeway with out hitting anything or anyone. So police come, we call 911, ambulance fire truck etc. Still the girl does not come out of the white car. They shut down the freeway for 2 minutes and pull her car to the other side and take her out on a stretcher. Everyone in our car was fine. SOOOOOO WHAT HAPPENED?

Our conclusion is that the white and yellow cars were racing, the yellow sped off and the white lost control. The girl in the white car is not seriously injured to my knowledge, her neck just hurt and she some how could not remember anything that had happened...hmmm...

SOOOOOOOO It's a MIRACLE!

Why do you ask?

-we were in a big car- in a smaller one someone would have been injured for sure

-no glass shattered

-Melissa wasn't texting, distracted,or going to fast when hit

-No other cars were damaged in the process

I feel so incredibly blessed! A car full of 4 girls-2 engaged to be married in the temple, 1 a soon to be mother, and me a soon to be missionary. Wow. I am so incredibly grateful to a Heavenly Father who is constantly aware of His children and who watches out for us when we don't even realize that we need watching out for! ------this last picture was at the wedding expo I thought it would be good to end on a happy note!

Wagon Wheels west!

On Thursday I had the opportunity to perform for my very first time on a BYU stage. It was a student directed piece and not that big of a production, but still it was a performance at BYU and I had the best time ever performing! The production was a western musical melodrama. I played the role of "cookie" I was the handmaid for the star Senorita Juanita Fandango. My character was a bit ditzy and awkward so I had a lot of fun playing with the role.
This also made me realize that I can act, I can do this. It's so easy to get lost in the crowd at BYU and think that everyone is so much better than me. True, there are a lot of talented people at this school, but I bring something unique and I was really grateful for the opportunity to show that.

The musical showed 3 times on Thursday and on our last performance the theater was the most packed they said that they have ever seen for a Mask club (that's what the student directed plays are called) They didn't have enough seats for everyone and people were sitting on the aisles. Here are some pictures of the production and I uploaded a short video of a part of it too for you all to see:

This is Kate or known on stage as Sue Flay(she was the evil accomplice) Kate and I have become good friends because of this play, if I wasn't going on a mission I would be rooming with her next year for sure!While Senorita danced I lip sang being her and awkwardly danced, there were a lot of laughs from the audience, mostly from my roommates though :)So below is the video of our ending song--to explain my character is constantly trying to imitate Senorita Fandango and that's why I look so awkward

Dum dum da dum!

We all thought that spring was the time for love, but I would just like to correct that so called fact as of now! No longer is that true, the real time is Fall. My 3 best friends are all engaged (2 unofficial, yes, but when you already have a date what is official really?) Luckily, I have plans of my own and hopefully I won't get swept away in this marriage talk. But in the mean time I am enjoying being apart of the planning of these weddings! And I get 3 new dresses so it's looking pretty good for me. The inspiration of this post came from, in fact, trying on my first of the 3. We used toilet paper as our bouquets and as the veil for the bride. This is just a preview of the next year for me:Let's hope that whole always a bridesmaid never a bride is just as true as that whole Spring love nonsense :)

Provo Just Won't Be the Same

So I just wanted to say that I am so sad to see Matt and Maddie leave Provo! I'm so excited for their new adventure but it will be so sad to see them go! I love how they are both hilarious in their different ways...usually unintentionally :) They have become close friends to me and I have loved having them here to help me adjust through these first years of college. They have been such a blessing in my life and I'm so grateful for them! Provo just won't be the same without you two!

My Big News!

I just got promoted to be a supervisor at work! I couldn't be more excited! Really it was time for a change of pace and I love the new responsibility! I get to be over about 6 other employees and help interview them and train them and answer questions that they may have. I feel so blessed to have this new job. It was exactly what I needed. Especially since a lot of my friends that had been working there are now moving on to different jobs. And since 2 of my roommates are dating seriously (1 engaged the other soon to be I'm sure :) this will give me something to keep me busy. Oh and a side note our new 4th roommate is from Hong Kong! She seems very nice and I'm sure she'll be cooking some crazy dishes that I've never seen before. It looks like it's going to be an eventful Fall!

July 4th!

Happy 4th! For the holiday Jenn (my roommate and close friend) let me tag a long for all of her fun family activities and it was a blast! The first activity on the list was a pancake breakfast followed by a shaving cream fight with her ward. Apparently this is a tradition. Everyone brings there own shaving cream and goes at it and then the Fire truck comes and hoses everyone off! It was seriously so much fun and I recommend it to all!






I personally think that I look like Matt in this picture...or just like a boy in general... haha


This is with Jenn, her sister, uncle and cousins, they were all so much fun!Here comes the fun part! The firemen go up really high on their ladder and spray 2 hoses down on the crowd like it's raining. The hose was pretty powerful and knocked some down but for the most part it was just really cold!

After that we had a BBQ at Jenn's parents, friends and family came and then we launched water balloons at Jenn's aunt and uncle. It was a blast!
Don't worry I didn't forget about the stadium of fire, I just haven't uploaded those one's yet. Over all this was one of the best if not the best 4th I have ever had! It was so action pact! I'm so grateful for my friends and their families that are so welcoming to me and serve me constantly, without them, I would probably be homesick more often. I love them and am so grateful for their kindness!
