Loving Christmas Break!

Seriously, I am loving Christmas break. I am not really on break cuz I wasn't in school, and I am still working, but having Brooke home and everything has been great! :)
Busy, as always, but that's the way I like it!

An End to the Weekend

Friday was full of fun.
Saturday and Sunday were pretty good as well. (:

Saturday morning my Grandma drove to Orem to see my little brother play basketball.
My little's brother CREAMED the other team. The final score was like 68-11 or something.

After the game we went shopping. It was a big success for me... A little too big of a success. I spent a lot of money. Money I am trying to save.
Oh well. The GOLD SKINNY JEANS (yeah, you read that right) were totally worth it. I bought a scarf, and some cute cardigans (always useful). So yeah, it was a success.

After we got home I took my puppy on a walk, then watched Spiderman with my dad.
Mid-movie my mom called, telling me to come over to a neighbours house to hold a baby. (I love babies!) This was a black baby, and one of the cutest I've ever seen!

Later that night we lit lanterns in the sky in memory of a little boy named Jett, born with a rare brain disease. His birthday is today. It was a really cool idea.

I have so many exciting things ahead of me! I can't wait. Buying a car, finding a place to live (going up to Logan on Thursday), packing, Christmas, maybe seeing Richie, New Year's, and then going back to school!

Just Another Saturday

It was just another Saturday.
The Saturday before my 20th Birthday!

I spent the day with Jorge, Dann, Ryan and Nathan. We ate at Cafe Rio then watched Taken 2 at Pinnacle, where Ryan works. Then we played a bit of basketball and I came home.

Mom wanted me to go to Shiray's husbands Birthday party, so, being the awesome daughter I am, I went with her. My cute little friend Shayli and I played Play Dough and made door-hangers for each other. She is so cute!

Ely came over and my mom left. There was a knock on the door later and I opened the door to find my sister in a suitcase! Best surprise ever!

The three of us went to Starbucks, then built card houses and went to Walmart. I bought sweats just like Ely's. Soo comfortable.

Of course the night ended with late-night McDonalds.

Sister Fun!

I was such an idiot today!! I completely slept through my Lehi Main Street meeting! I woke up at noon. Exactly when it ended with a text from Wade saying, "

Brooke is home!!! :) Yay! I love her!
When we picked her up from the airport I had a sign made for her.

On the way back from the airport we stopped at "The Haunted Circus".
My mom waited in the car while we went through.

Luckily we found an older couple to go ahead of us and three boys to follow behind us. So we were right in the middle.. Just the way I like it!
The spook alley was a little scary.. I screamed a lot.
The funniest moment was when a creepy guy asked what was for dinner and I said "Austin" (this little 12 year old kid). He wasn't very happy with me, but everyone laughed.
There were also some loud bangs. I knew they were coming, but after every bang I screamed. After everytime I screamed I said "Sorry!" "Sorry." "Sorry!" It was funny.
We are now watching Breaking Bad, one of the most intense shows ever. Its incredible.
Tomorrow we head to Logan! Yay!

I love the weekend

Hello (: 

 It's been awhile (only a few days) since I have Blogged but it feels like longer than that.. At least it feels longer than that for me.

These last few days I have been staying busy.

Thursday I went to a movie with my singles ward. There were three choices available. I didn't want to watch "Avengers" but guess which one we watched? You got it. Avengers. 

Friday I went to dinner and a play, "Y Light" with Belinda, William, Ken and Patricia. It was pretty funny. I enjoyed it. After I got home from the play my dad and I watched a movie that was filmed in Six Flags. It was so funny.

Saturday was my date with Aaron. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it turned out being really fun. I surprised Charlie by showing up at his house for a minute. Aaron and I went to dinner at a place in downtown Salt Lake called "Red Rock". It was delicious. We then went to Wise Guys comedy club. The main comedian was hilarious! One of the first things he did was he used one of those temperature measuring things and pointed it at people's crotches. The person with the highest temperature got a free drink. No, my crotch was not pointed at. He did and said a lot of funny things. He ate a hard boiled egg while reading tweets of his that never got favorited/retweeted/replied to. He also told us the story about his first bar fight. Which was so funny. I laughed so hard. He changed the insides of cards and showed us the sleep memos he left for himself in his sleep.

After the comedy show we went for a drive up in the canyon.

I don't know what to think, but oh well. :)

California.. Day 2

Wow today was a long, but good day.

Reasons why today was awesome
1. We broke the "record" for most rides ridden in a day
Previous Record: 34
Record as of today: 62 rides ridden in a single day
  Why this is even more impressive: the park was only open 10:00-5:30.
2. I didn't throw up. Not once.
  Why this is impressive: I was really close. A lot of times. Nauseaed almost all day long.
3. We didn't have to worry about the car being towed, booted, or broken into unlike the previous day.
4. No waits. At all. Got to ride multiple rides, multiple times without even getting up.
5. Got a super cute picture with Snoopy AND he made a kissing noise before I walked away.
6. Rode the Stage Coach
7. Watched a funny Western Stunt Show, which bashed both Disneyland AND Six Flags
8. Didn't lose anything. And lip gloss ($7.50 a tube) is very easy to lose.
9. Opened up the Log Ride (one of my favorites) before closing so it was our last ride of the day.
  Why this is even more awesome: We didn't even get wet.
10. I watched a really cool Native American hoop dance
11. I got a really funny voicemail from Richie. It was really great. Said something to the effect of: "Hi Megan with Jacques and Associates. I haven't received a call back and that is not good customer service, ect." It was so great. So I called him back and we talked for a bit.
12. I made my mom's day with a text:My text: "DO NOT be jealous you aren't here at Knotts today. Its 11:30 (the park opened at 10) and we have ridden like 20 rides.. I am definitely throwing up at least once today. Stupid Henriksens... His competitive spirit is definitely coming out. I have almost thrown up like 6 times. Haven't yet. Yet.
 Her reply: "Hanging in there? Your text made my day:)"
14. This one is cool. As we were standing by the gate waiting for the park to open Knotts began to play the national anthem, as they do every morning. Early into the song, the music stopped. There was a moment of silence and then a man started singing where the song left off. Right after, people joined in--including me and my dad. More and more people joined in and when the song finished, we finished strong. It was a really powerful, patriotic moment. After we finished the song, there was a moment of quiet and then everyone applauded and cheered--and then we began pushing through the gates. It was a great way to start the day.
15. My dad and I had a really great day together.
  So, as you've read, it was a great day. My dad and I are currently driving to Lone Pine, California where he grew up for the Lone Pine Film Festival.
  Playing in college football tonight is Utah State University (YAY!!) and BYU (boo!). We are listening to the game on the drive and it is pretty intense. Both my dad and I really like our schools. REALLY like our schools. I am wearing my Utah State shirt (pictured below) and rooting hard for my Aggies. I LOVE my Utah State. BYU annoys me, both the school policies and the fans.. (Don't tell my dad I said that ;) )
My world won't be over if we lose, but it would make me REALLY REALLY REALLY HAPPY if we won. I'd even try not to gloat. I'd do my best, anyways.
The score: BYU (boo!): 6 Utah State (YAY!): 3
I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN.
  Some BYU (boo!)/Utah State (YAY!) Tweets that made me smile:
"Hey #ProvoGirls don't get jealous when you see our Gorgeous #Aggie fans roll up. They will leave soon. With all your dignity. #BeatBYU"
(See FedEx/BYU pic) "Both of these logos have utilized negative space to more fully communicate their brand outlook. #BeatBYU" (If you don't get it, FedEx uses a sideways arrow (from the E to the X) the Y picture has an arrow pointing down. Therefore, BYU stinks. ;)</p>
....Still 6-3 :(
..... Utah State lost. 6-3. I don't want to talk about it. BYU (boo) still sucks. True story.
Anyways, on the upside, made it to Lone Pine. Played with three puppies. Told the story about finding my dog. Showed pictures of my dog, and then talked to Richie for 67 minutes :)
Great way to end the day!
Oh and your quote is an attached picture.. Enjoy!

Super Saturday

Hello :) Well I had a wonderful day yesterday! The morning started off with picking up my sister in Salt Lake, when we stumbled upon a farmer's market in Salt Lake.
I bought a wonderful peach and raspberry dessert and Brooke and I got mint lemonade (delicious!)
Lunch with the family was had at Pizza Pie Cafe (:
An appearance at the Relief Society Broadcast was required, but after that we were home free!
We drove to Salt Lake to spend some quality time with Charlie. It was quite fun.
Also, our friend Christian came out of the closet. There is so much controversity about gay/straight/bi but honestly I think you should do what makes you happy. :)

I think I am going to try ending my posts with a quote or something that.. Worth a try right?
"Be a Blessing to Someone Today."
Proverbs 11:25
