Possibly the Worst Running Playlist Ever

Saturday I went running and was having no luck finding good, motivational songs to listen to on my iPod. Perhaps sensing that my endurance was failing, shuffle picked out the following tracks for me. I kid you not :)


"No Air" by Jordin Sparks
"The Long and Winding Road" by the Beatles
"Come so Far, Got so Far to Go" from Hairspray
"Help!" by the Beatles
"Far Away" by Nickelback
"Wanna Go Home" by Michael Buble
"Carry That Weight" by the Beatles - the Beatles were really not helping me out today
"Nobody Said It Was Easy" by Coldplay
"This Is The End" by Relient K

Good thing I had some disney songs on there as well. Otherwise, I don't think I would have made it.

The Miracle of...Wait...What?

I'm currently in an infant development class at BYU. It's really fascinating, and I love the material, but I keep having dreams that I'm pregnant and don't know how it happened because I'm not married and don't even have a boyfriend. I wake up feeling disoriented, confused, and extremely guilty, before I realize that it was all a dream and that I'm not actually pregnant. (You can imagine the relief!) Hopefully we'll stop watching "The Miracle of Life" before too long so my dreams will return to a state of at least semi-normalcy.

Auto Tuned...

I thought this was pretty funny...the things you can do with Auto-tuning. :)

Can We Please Get Beach House With a Foosball Table?

Seriously. We have one here at the Villa, and as entertainment is somewhat limited in my complex, it has become my default activity. My friends and I have tournaments. We play for about an hour every day, and practice has made - not perfect - but SO much better. I creamed one of the best boys in my ward. And I'm giving THE best boy a run for his money. One of these days I'll beat em' all. But in order to do that I need to keep practicing :) so can we find a beach house with a foosball table?

PS Good luck today Marie! :) We love you!

Best Friend Photoshoot

My friend Jason is a really good photographer, and this last weekend my two best friends Jen and Vanessa and I wandered around downtown Provo taking some artsy shots for memories :) it was really fun. We took over 200 photos, so here's just a few of my favorites. I love you all!


The beginning of our modeling career.


Random brick wall in southern Provo.


I like this one. It took a few times to get it right though :)


Jen (a.k.a. Lil' Crack and J-dawg), Melinda (a.k.a. Lil' Crunch and Melly), Vanessa (a.k.a. Lil' Sketch and Granny Jo)


Just chillin' by a colorful van. Ya know.


I decided it would be a good idea for us to all squeeze into the gate around the tree. It was a very painful idea.


Goofing off.


Vanessa loves me :)


We found a sweet door on the north side of the Provo Tabernacle.


My roommate Jen is GORGEOUS.


This one took over 5o takes to get all of our faces in it.


It's been a great journey so far...


Best friends for life.

Indian Colorfest

Saturday we went to the annual spring colorfest at the Krishna temple in Spanish fork. All I can say is...CRAZY! Basically it's a festival to worship the Hindu god Krishna and to celebrate fertility. There was singing and dancing in the temple, which was SO fun. I was tempted to pull out my Bollywood dance workout moves (thank you, Celeste). Then we and the other hundreds of people at the festival bought packets of colored chalk and after a countdown threw them all over each other! I don't know when I've had more fun.





Walking to the temple. Clean, but not for long.



Outside of the temple. It was beautiful!


Waiting for the powder throwing to begin...


Some people were a little overzealous and began throwing chalk at me before the countdown had started.

COUNTDOWN AND CRAZY POWDER THROWING!





Me Kasee and Bre. Filthy but happy!


The crew!

Okay, it was fun, but I have to tell you that when the countdown was over and hundreds of people began throwing fistfuls of colored powder into the air, the sky basically went dark and I couldn't breath for a couple minutes. It was a real third Nephi experience. All day long after that I was coughing up rainbows. And my shower is ruined :) but it was worth it. I want to do it again.

The Sticks

T'was the night before the ward talent show,
and all through the house,
3 girls were frantically planning, which frightened a mouse,
planning something to do for the ward talent show,
the answer came almost too suddenly: GLOW!

That's right. We performed a glow-in-the-dark stick figure dance routine on stage. It was absolutely amazing. SO funny. Here are some pics. If you ever want to try this at home, plan on using a million glow sticks and about three rolls of tape.
