SECONDHAND SERENADE CONCERT :)

Tuesday night about 10pm Me, Preston, Amy & Josh headed up north for a concert. We arrived at Preston’s aunts & uncles house around 2am and went to sleep. Wednesday we woke up about noon at breakfast/lunch then we went to SLC about 2-3 blocks south of the temple and went ice skating. It was lots of fun. After ice-skating we headed to the concert. The concert started about 7:30ish and lasted til about 10:30-11:00. There were 3 bands that opened for Secondhand Serenade. The bands were... A Rocket To The Moon, Automatic Loveletter, & Cute Is What We Aim For. About 9:40 Secondhand Serenade entered the stage and EVERYONE went wild! (I still think that i am a little deaf from all the screaming) They played all of my favorite songs and ended with my most favorite….Fall For You. It was the most amazing concert I have ever been too. I can’t wait til they come back, I’ll for sure be goin to it. So we started out at about 15 feet from the stage and by the time Secondhand Serenade got on stage we were about 3-5 feet from the stage (there was only one row of girls in front of us.) We got two secondhand serenade guitar picks! Used by John himself! And I decided that I love John Vesely (lead singer) he can play the guitar, the piano, sing AMAZINGLY, and he is super cute! I LOVE SECONDHAND SERENADE!!

Just a couple of Pictures from the Bands:

College Dating 101

Tuesday night me and my roomie Shay Harvey took two men on a date. We met them at the Pizza Factory, then ditched them and sent them on a scavenger hunt. Once they had found all of the clues the last one took them to the park and thats where they found us with their yummy pizza! :) We sat in the FREEZING cold and talked for like 2 hours. It was loads of fun! (oh did i mention they were like 24ish... :) yep older men....)
The guy on the far left is Jon, he was my wonderful date :) and the guy on the far right is Todd, he was Shay's date. (sorry the pic sucks they didnt really have any good ones of them!) the guy in the middle is..... probably gay...or some weird-o who wanted to be in a their pic... not really sure!

I found the pics!!!

So i found the picture i wanted to put up with my missing Skyler post last time so here it is....

Me & My Big Brother :)

Oh and then i found this amazing quote to go along with this picture.
"Being a Big Brother is sometimes better than being a Super Hero."
Oh and while i was looking through this file of pictures i came along this next photo and had to add it... cuz i miss Axton a lot too!! :(

Me & Axton (right before he left)
oh dang i miss him!

I miss him....lots and lots

I miss my big brother! I know that may shock a lot of you, because Skyler was always a big tease and we fought a lot (but dont most siblings). Well right before he left (like 3 months) we started to get along better and not fight as much. We had a couple of very good late night talks (like our 3am cereal talk :) We had some of the GREATEST talks ever! I really miss him scaring the mean boys away. (kyson tries his hardest to do it and its cute but the guys were always afraid of Sky.) He always stood up for me and threatened a lot of boys that treated me bad or hurt my feelings. He is my hero! I am so proud of him and his decision to go on a mission. And I know he is touching many life's and bringing lots of lost sheep to the gospel! But I miss him a lot right now and cannot wait for 7 months to pass.

Brad, Axton & Skyler
(ok and ya i miss axton too...)
(i dont really know brad to miss him)
Axton & Skyler
(the day they went through the temple)

YA SO PRETTY MUCH I REALLY MISS MY BIG BROTHER!

Saturday.....KoLoB bAbY!!

And then Saturday...what a long day! Well first off my dad taught me how to drive his motorcycle ....again cuz i really sucked learning the first time. So after a few lessons i took it out a few times for a spin. Now it is my favorite set of wheels. I wish i could take it to college and use it to get around (hopefully my daddy will read this and grant my wish :)

Ok so this picture is kinda an ugly one but this is me and the bike :)

Also on Saturday i went on a date with Justin Clayton, Ramsey Cox & Ashley Hamm, & Beau & Stefanie Stratton. We went up to Ramsey's cabin up on the absolutely BEAUTIFUL Kolob! The date was really fun! On the way up to Kolob it started raining and continued to rain for a while when we got to the cabin, so we sat in the cabin and watchthe football game with the boys, then the boys decided they were hungry so they cooked some really tasty elk steak (i think ramsey's elk) which was really good!! (oh and stef made a killer pasta salad!! yum!) After dinner the boys had a "guy talk" outside (where us girls weren't welcome) so the 3 of us sat inside and got to know each other. It was really fun cuz i knew Ash but i really got to know Stef and that was way fun! She is such a cute girl! Finally the boys came back in and told us that it was time for the fire and we roasted marshmallows and had these really good cookie s'more thingys. After eating those we had a brilliant idea to play Fluffy Bunny with the rest of the marshmallows....(for all who have never played that game, you see who can put the most marshmallows in there mouth while still being about to say fluffy bunny) That was hilarious! Rams won that game with a total of 12 BIG marshmallows in his (rather big) mouth! After that game we sat around the campfire again and Rams and Justin played the guitar and sang.

Everyone there...

Ramsey, Ashley, Me & Justin &....

Beau & Stefanie

Rams & Me...the last two in the game

Funny Pic....After Rams won with a total of 12, i decided i was done and Rams and Ash wanted to put more in my mouth to see if i could get to 12 also and so i let them thinking...oh they will be nice and do one at a time, well no they came 3 at a time...This is the pic after i began to gag! The marshmallows started to foam out of my mouth and Ash being the nice girl that she is, started to push them nicely back in.... YUCK!! I think i am still tasting marshmallows 3 days later!
It was a super fun date! Thanks guys!

Weekend Events...Friday

So this weekend was pretty busy full of SUPER fun things. It all started Friday with mine & Claire's hang out date at the mall where i bought a very cute hoodie and some jewelery! Then later that night we had a sleepover at my Claire's house. We decided to experiment with our web cams on our laptops and the results were fricken sweet!!

Bestest Buddy Chance

This is my friend Chance Steglich. He is a very
amazing guitar player and he has the most amazing
voice i have ever heard! (not even kidding)
I invited him to come over one day and had him
play for me and sing for me and he played this song...
It's kind of a sad song and i'm sure i know why. But this
is a really a special song i think! Once again Thanks Chance!!

my lil' buddah

mY LiL bUdDaH:

My cousin Amy came to visit from Las Vegas and she asked if we would watch little Abby aka Buddah! So we got some cute pics of her while she was awake! This is my lil buddah!

Random Things

MR. TIGER PAEGANT:

These are the 7 guys who were nominated for the Mr. Tiger Paegant (left to right Colton I, Mitch H, Kason H, Ben H, Justin J, Luke J, and Mckay B) Each guy had to answer a question and then all of them did a dance. I can describe there dancing in one word..... FUNNY!!! Colton Iverson was the winner....but in my opinion i think that Mckay Butler should have one it. The reason why i think that, is because he had best answer EVER! His question was Where do you wanna get married or Whats your dream wedding? And before they could even finish the question he took the microphone and this is what he said, "The temple....duh!" That minute every girl in the gym was like...AW!!! I wanna marry him!!! :) It was a great assembly!

MY TWO FAVORITE GIRLS:

This is a picture of my two favorite girls.... Devina aka Devin Campbell and Benna aka Ben Holmes. They dressed up for a school thing and as strange as it seems they looked pretty good in dress (only cuz they have little butts and nicely shaved legs! lol) When i asked Ben who he borrowed his dress from he said his little sister who was at the time 11 years old! all i can say is.. WOW! They did the whole make-up thingy and they even wore high heels! At the end of the day they were crying cuz there feet hurt. They both told me that they now have respect for the girls that wear high heels to school and dont complain!


Me & My Best Buddy:

This photo was taken at this years Preference Dance, Mardi Gras (the theme) At each table they had masks in the center of the table as center piece. So while Chance's date was out getting a drink and my date Josh was swing dancing with one of our friends, Chance and I hurried and picked our favorite mask and we took this amazing picture!! That night was one of the greatest nights I have ever had! That night i learned how to swing dance with Josh, i took some pretty freakin sweet pictures with Chance, Got to listen to Josh sing everysong he knew while we danced and just being there in that pretty white dress with the most HANDSOME man in the world! (Josh, Thank You for being such a great date! You made my whole night by being my date!!)


MY BESTEST BUD...CHANCE:

This is a picture of one of my bestest guy friends in the whole entire world! I dont even know where to start...Chance has always been the guy i can just open up and talk to without feeling stupid. He always knows how to cheer me up even when I am having the worst day ever! One day for example I called him and told him i needed him to cheer me up and so i was wondering if he would come over and play his guitar and sing for me...He was excited that i would ask and he came over after school and sang about 6 songs (which i recorded and listen to everyday...they are amazing!) I almost cried listening to him sing and play because he is so talented! Chance is such a fun guy to be around and i love the kid!! THANKS CHANCE FOR EVERYTHING!!! You are always welcome to come over and play the guitar and sing for me! :)

At the beginning of the school year during football season i was at the game with some friends and were taking crazy pictures and a few cute ones. Well in every picture right in the top center of each pictrue was a smile from the guy behind us, well it turned out to be Josh MacDonald (the guy in this photo with me) and i didnt really know him but i thought he was pretty handsome guy so my friends dared me (supposidly i am very shy and they didnt think that i would do it) to ask him if he would be in a picture with me....But i turned around and said, "Hey Josh, we have been taking pictures and in all of them we can see your smile, so i was wondering if you would take a picture with me?" He smiled and agreed to take it! Now when i look back at this photo i just laugh cuz me and Josh are friends now and he makes fun of me for what i said! (Plus he is the greatest looking guy in the whole school, so i was way excited that he would be in a picture with me!! ) He is a babe! :)
