St. George and Brian Regan!

"Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget."

This weekend some friends and I went to St. George, UT to get away from Provo relax, get some sun and to see Brian Regan! If you don't know who Brian Regan is... go look him up. He is a comedian and he is hilarious. I had a blast this weekend and want to say thanks to Blaire for getting us free tickets to the show.

All of us before the show! Aaron, me, Blaire and Kelsi

We got to go behind stage and up in the spotlight room, we are so cool!

Me and Aaron.

We had fun!!

Parents

"Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands."

Nothing too much is going on in my life right now... just working, hanging out and so excited to go home in a couple of weeks to see my new nephew and family!!

So this past week since it was mothers day some friends and I were talking how much we care about our parents and talking about that one day when you realize everything your parents ever taught you was true. Man, I hated that day! Sometimes I wish I wasn't such a brat to my parents and I feel so bad for all the crap they had to put up with me. I will be the first one to admit I was the worst and hardest child in my family. I'm so glad my parents (especially my mom) put up with me and still loved me after all I put them through. They are truly the BEST parents anyone could ever ask for and I love them so so much. I owe everything to them, without them I wouldn't be who I am today. I love you guys.

Over the past couple of years since I've moved out to Utah my mom and I have grown to be best friends and I'm so grateful for that. She is one person (besides my sisters) who I can always turn to anytime and she will just listen. Love you mom and Happy Mothers Day!! (I know, a little late but better late than never)

New Hair!

So I got a new haircut/ some more blonde.. tell me what you think!

Besties!!

We have the same nails!! I almost bought it because I loved the color but Andi got it so I just borrowed it.. haha.

Carrie's bridal shower!! I can't believe she is getting married. But I'm SO happy for her!! :)

Life is good. I can't really complain about anything. I'm just excited for the next couple of months!!

I have become a groupie!

Groupie: A person who seeks emotional and intimacy with a musician or celebrity. Usually a younger woman who will follow their favorite band/musician while on tour. They can sometimes be the band/musician's muse. They will do anything to be closer to the band.

Somehow, I don't know how I have become a "groupie" okay, okay not really. But lately I have been going to a TON of shows and have the biggest thing (crush) on performers. My favorite right now are just going to the local shows out here in Utah. My good friend Andi went to the Velour last week for her favorite, Benton Paul and one of the opening bands for him was Truman and she fell in love with them and got me hooked!

I have the biggest crush on the Truman brothers.. and guess what, I met them last night and that's not even the best part of it- Ben Truman (one of the brother's) came over to my apartment!!! I was soooo excited. He is way cute. He personally invited Andi, Blaire and I to go to their concert at Sammy's in a couple of weeks. How awesome is that?! I'm so excited. I promise I am NOT a stalker.

Ben signed their CD for me and Andi!

Chad and Ben Truman with me and Andi!!

Aren't they cute?

Amandi!

So my good friend Andi and I were bored one day and decided to go to the pet store because we were bored... bad idea. An innocent trip to go "look" at the cute fury things ended up costing me money on a $10 hamster. But she is so stinkin cute we couldn't help but buy her, plus there were some evil hamsters there who were picking on her because she was the smallest (and I know how that feels) we just had to save her from them.

Andi and I were trying to decided what to name her and decided to combine our names together and name her Amandi. Amandi is probably the coolest, cutest, most popular and most spoiled dwarf hamster there ever lived. I love her.

Valentine Day!!

My lovely valentine was my amazing friend Kailee and for Valentine's day we went to Irvine, CA.. not just for valentine's day but we were there during that weekend. We got each other presents and it was a lot of fun! Thanks for being a great valentine Kailee, my best one yet :)

My mom also got me some awesome presents.. the monkey/monster thing dances and sings to the cupid shuffle and she also got me candy and a perfect boyfriend thing.. so funny.

Overall it was a great Valentine's day this year!

California!

So I am in LOVE with Orange County California... not just because of the O.C. is one of my favorite shows ever!! My roommate Kailee and I went to her home town in Irvine, California and I loved it. It was in the middle of February and the weather was beautiful, it was in the high 70s the whole time. It was a nice break from cold Utah.

We went shopping, to the beach, went on some walks, also went to the New Port Temple.. it's a beautiful temple. I loved it. It's really cool because something Kailee told me that I didn't know was the the residence in Orange County put their own money towards the temple. Shows how much they really wanted it which is really awesome, I think.

I had an amazing time, I can see myself living in a place like Irvine or New Port. I can't wait to go back!!
