Fun Filled Weekend

This weekend I adventured to Orem area for a fun filled weekend. Abby and I stayed with Megan Friday night through Monday morning. We did all sorts of things. We went shopping, roasted smores, ate, slept, ate, slept etc.... Oh I can't forget the dying of my hair. That is a whole different story I will post later.

On Monday, I went shopping for birthday accessories. I found great deals and left the mall feeling very successful. After the shopping trip, Abby, Mollie, and I went to a concert. I have been to a lot of concerts in the last few months. I never used to like them very much but now I really enjoy them. It was Death Cab for Cutie who performed. They did fabulous. The other band wasn't too impressive. It had been raining on and off all weekend but luckily it didn't rain at all while we were at the concert. We stood in line for over 2 hours. The concert was outside which was lovely except it got a bit chilly at times.

There are a few complaints I have about concerts....
1) The people there are CRAZY!!! I can't even tell you how many interesting people I saw. There were several couples I saw that I wish I wouldn't have. I was very disgusted.

2) Waiting in the long lines... we showed up a half hour early and we still had to wait 2 hours before they opened the gates. This happens everytime I go to a concert but it still doesn't stop me.

3) It is expensive most of the time. The concerts I chose to go to are almost always near Salt Lake. The tickets alone are costly and then I have to pay for gas and food.

4) Parking. I got a parking violation at the concert because I was parked out on the street where about 200 other cars were parked. I figured it would be ok since there were hundreds of cars parked there too. Apparently not! It is always a hassle to find somewhere to park. They always charge to park close so I try to find a way out of paying. It was a bad idea this time. I will end up paying about 5 times more than I would have if I chose to pay $5 to park in the parking lot AHHHH!! I figured there was no parking left in there though, oh well, I have definitely learned from my mistake.

Other than that I love concerts. I don't think I will be attending many more though. I have been to my fair share. I always leave with many interesting and fun filled memories!

Family!!!

My adorable nephew!!!

Randomness

I decided to post some random pictures because I have two on my whole page. I realize they are really random but so am I so it works! This first picture is very scary.

I got to be in one of my brothers exec movies. Here I am in my costume!!!

James and I before he left on his mission. He is my best friend! He comes home in August.
I'm so excited!

Megan and I being our happy selves.

Here are two of my roommates (Annie and Abby)

I will work on posting more pictures from now on. Now that I'm not going to school full time I will have more time to blog.

Blue Steel

Well I finally got a new car. I have been driving old cars since I have had my drivers license. However, I was very lucky to even have a car to drive around. Although, I really wanted a car I wouldn't have to worry about breaking down on me. On occasion my mother would kindly let me borrow her car for trips so I wouldn't be stranded on the side of the road with my old car.

There were a few cars I looked at to purchase, but when I saw the blue or aqua 02 Nissan Altima I knew it was exactly what I wanted. I was thrilled when I found out I would be able to buy it! I have loved it so far. It has really nice features such as 6 CD changer, leather seats, sunroof, really nice stereo system. Thats just to name a few. I feel really blessed to be driving such a nice car!

This last weekend I took my car for a little trip to visit Megan. My roommate Abby went with me. Abby had mentioned I should name my car Blue Steel. I thought it was a great name. When I gave Megan a ride she asked me what I was going to name it. I told her Abby said to name it Blue Steel. Megan had the same idea before me or Abby even said anything. So I decided to stick with Blue Steel. It fits perfectly. That is what I will be calling my car from now on. I will post a picture of it soon.

Worn Out

Last night I went to a concert in Salt Lake and really enjoyed it. I went to see two great bands. I was highly disappointed in one of the bands though. There were 5 bands that played. Also, there was one band that scared me terribly. They were dressed strangely and played rotten music. I was thrilled when they were done playing. The concert ended about 10:30 and then we had the long drive back to Logan. I returned back home very late last night. I ended up going to bed at 3 am and had to wake up before 8 to get ready for my first day nannying.

I nannied all day long. I started at 9 am and left at 5 pm. The only bad thing is I am too nice sometimes and couldn't say no to another lady I babysit for. She wanted me to watch her little boy from 7 to 10. I got home from my nanny job, ate, laid down for about an hour and off I went to babysit again. So now, here I sit at their house waiting for their arrival. I'm hoping they show up soon because I am definitely worn out. The little boy is sleeping which leaves me with not much to do. I already cleaned the kitchen and I've been on the computer long enough. 12 hours of entertaining children can be very tiring. I am already learning a lot that will be very useful to me when I have my own family.

Well I will stop going off. I'm excited to sleep in tomorrow!!!
