ALISON

Hit the road Jack

Its about time I went on a vacation! Even though it was only about 30 hours long, it was so nice to just get away with my girls! We had a blast. We left work on Saturday afternoon and drove to Shreveport, LA. Barely 3 hours, it was perfect- and we were out of Texas! The drive was beautiful and it reminded meof driving through the canyons back home with all the trees and green that East Texas has. We didn't do a whole lot except dance the night away and gambled. But only a little bit of gambling. Its so boring. Except Blackjack, but the buy in was $25.. thats too much. I stuck to the penny slots and lost 24 dollars.. ALSO- they had a midget KISS cover band.. yes, all midgets. Its a travelling sort of thing from Vegas. Sadly we didn't get to see them perform, but they did come to the club we were at later that night. It was pretty sweet.

This is all the money that she won...

I did her hair - do you LOVE it?

Happy "Valendays"

This is what my Valentines Day was - Setting up this beauty for my Sis and the hubby! Kent and I surprise Cami... She didn't even know I was babysitting - thats how good I am at playing it off! I went early to the hotel room and decorated it.. I had way too much fun if you can't tell...

Walking into the room - a rose petal trail
This was my favorite part. I saw it on a show once and I've always wanted to re-create it!

I hope everyone had a fun Valentines :)

It does snow in Texas!

Going... going...

noreply@blogger.com (aLiCe) — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 04:46:00 +0000

Gone...

After a long and grueling process... We decided to sell Bennie the Beagle. As cute as he was, we just worked too much to keep him, so he is gone. I sold him to a lady who was so excited to have him. She had had a dog for 18 years that they finally had to put to sleep and wanted a new puppy. Sounds like a great home right?

Well, that was on December 23. On January 7, my friend sends me the link to a craigslist posting. For what you ask? Oh, the same lady I sold him to, was re-selling him again! We called on it and she has just sold him that morning! Poor puppy. He's a total orphan.

the update

noreply@blogger.com (aLiCe) — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 04:26:00 +0000

I've totally been neglecting my blog. Its just that I have been stealing internet for so long so it was faulty and uploading pictures on a faulty connection is not fun. But now I have my own internet that actually works. So for everyone who cares, I will now be telling you about my life.

Firstly, I have discovered a love for dead trees in the winter. I don't know why and don't think I ever will know why, but I think they are pretty. This is a picure I took while driving.

don't make fun of me

Secondly -My friends and I went to visit our friend Maren's grave. She passed away this summer from diabetes. We went to visit her for her birthday, took her some flowers and ate some cinnamon rolls in her honor. Next time we go, we will take some suger cubes.

It was freezing.. if you can't tell.

Happy 22nd Birthday my Friend!

Ali + Andrew = love

* don't mind the date on the bottom of the pictures.. I don't know how it got changed.

I love this day

Who doesn't miss this face?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

noreply@blogger.com (aLiCe) — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 02:31:00 +0000

I had to break down and buy Bennie a halloween costume.. of course he hated it, but he just looks so cute in it! Hopefully by Friday we'll have him wearing it like a champ!!

Since he's kind of like my child, can I take him trick or treating and get candy for him?

Looooong Overdue...

noreply@blogger.com (aLiCe) — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 01:40:00 +0000

So, I realize it has been a long while since I have posted and updated.. My blog is being very neglected, and for that, I apologize. Here are some things that have been happening lately in my very eventful life!!

I stopped by Kent and Cam's ward Trunk or Treat.. Doesn't she look awesome with that purple hair?

Skyler probably had 30 pieces of candy. She just sat in the back of the truck and stole candy. She kind of looked like an urchin by the end of the night.

This is for the Grand Opening of Watters Creek mall where my new salon is located. We had 3 models (which I dressed) and did a big presentation!

I got a puppy! ISn't he cute? The picture above is with Skyler.. she loves him. And below is him! He is a miniature beagle and his name is Bennie. He's a handful, but he's so cute and cuddly. I've always wanted a dog!

This is my new salon. Its really cute and pretty inside. I love it! Its mostly all girls, only one guy works with us.

Do you love it?

Me and my friend Ashley- out on the town!

After all my moves in the past year, I have finally managed to lose the charger for my battery for my camera. It is a sad day as I have not been able to document the past few weeks :( Please don't forget about me, and if anyone has an extra lithium battery charger or knows where i can get one for cheap--- let me know!!!

noreply@blogger.com (aLiCe) — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 19:19:00 +0000

Okay so here is my new apartment! Its really cute, I love it! I'm living with my friend Annie who also works for Toni and Guy.

This is our living room. That door you see behind the couch is out to our balcony.
Here is the kitchen.. obviously. Yes, that is a granite countertop.
This is the dining room/kitchen. Sorry its messy!

This is my room. Simple, plain, but cute. Cami and I had the hardest time hanging those shelves on the wall.. cross your fingers and hope they don't fall!

Sorry its sideways.. this is in my bathroom. It was the perfect place for my little board I made during arts and crafts sunday..
My bathroom.. not too exciting. Although the tub is big and I love it.
Another pic of the living room.

There you have it! My new digs in Frisco, Texas!

Coming Soon....

noreply@blogger.com (aLiCe) — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 20:44:00 +0000

I promise I'm not "too cool" to update my blog anymore! I'm waiting to put the finishing touches on my cute apartment and then I will post pictures! It will be so soon!

You know what they say...

noreply@blogger.com (aLiCe) — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 05:12:00 +0000

Everythin is bigger in Texas! Boy is it. Its crazy how enormous one place is.. I mean I'm not in the whole state of Texas, but Dallas is huge, and I love it. I just started back with Toni and Guy (Bed Head) and I just found an apartment tonight (pics later). Its so bloody hot here and I'm constantly sweating it seems like..

So if you ever find yourself in Dallas, or if you just need a break and are looking for a fun place to visit (or need a travelling buddy!!!), look me up!

Mamma Mia, here I go again..

noreply@blogger.com (aLiCe) — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 18:51:00 +0000

I just have to say to everyone out there with doubts about Mamma Mia the movie, erase them! It is seriously such a good and amazing movie! I laughed and cried. It is definitely top 5 favorite movies of all time! Also, Meryl Streep is probably on my top 3 favorite actresses ever. She never disappoints. Go see it!

On a darker note, I also saw The Dark Knight at midnight on Thursday and it too was amazing! Heath Ledger played his role perfectly. He was the right amount of creepy and equally as funny. You must go see this one as well.

Summer Nights

noreply@blogger.com (aLiCe) — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 02:15:00 +0000

I love this time of year when the weather is perfect and all the kids are in town and we just play every night. These are some of our fun adventures so far.

We went to Bridal Veil Falls and played in the water - which was about 4 degrees.

At Kangaroo Zoo
This place is a lot of fun for the kids. It's just a bunch of bounce houses and slides. They had a blast.

The Park

We love hanging out at the park before bedtime.. the kids run around and get exhausted and then they go straight to sleep.. its awesome.

I love my nieces and nephews!

Stadium Of Fire

noreply@blogger.com (aLiCe) — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 23:39:00 +0000

My sister Kelli and I took my two nieces Jenna and Riley (5) to the Stadium of Fire. Riley was invited to be one of the Huntsman Cancer Institutes Guests of Honor to meet Miley Cyrus. She was pretty excited. We went and bought her a new outfit and a CD for Miley to sign. Sadly, Jenna and I couldn't go in and see her, but we did get some good pictures! On our way to the Stadium!

Lake Powelly

This past weekend I went to Lake Powell with the whole Clark Family, minus Sean and Jake. It was so bloody hot but we had a lot of fun! I got flipped off the tube 9 times, Candice stuck her foot through a window, and I learned what the smallest fish in the world is - a Dwarf Pigmy Gobi (in case you were wondering).

Waiting on the houseboat for everyone else to get there
Just hangin out in the sewage lake
Candice wakeboarding - Wa hoo!
We also bathed in the sewer water. Even though the water is vile, it still felt good to wash your face in it.

I am absolutley obsessed lately with photography and how amazing people are at taking pictures. I love everybody's difference in ideas. I came across this site on Caitlyn's blog and I cannot stop looking at it.. One day when I maybe get married.. I want her as my photographer. I will go to great lengths to make it happen. Mark my words.. Well, unless something better comes along. But for now.. Mark them.

Last night I went up to Sandy to have dinner with my 2 old roommates - Shannon and Alexa- and with Parker. Park just got home from his mission in Ecuador last week. He basically used to live at our apartment with us. Love him. We always used to go to Chilis, its our signature place. So of course, we had to go to dinner there. Also, Love Chilis.

Park = PIMP

Carol Anderson is my friend Mary Kate's mom. Last wednesday, she passed away at age 52. She has been battling a rare form of Alzheimers for the past 6 or so years. Caitlyn and I had the chance to drive up there on Sunday to be there for the viewing and the funeral - in Shelley, Idaho; population - 9

Carrie and her husband came down and surprised MK. We had to keep it a secret all week long and that was hard. But I was so glad that we were all able to be there and wished Tiana and Jessi could've been there too. I love my friends.

So today, after probably about 4-5 years, I went to the beloved 7 peaks waterpark. My friend Caitlyn has a season pass, and added me to her parking pass, so I decided I'd better go at least once.. It was a perfect day, although I could have been more careful with the sunscreen.. oops. I seem to be bad at that.. Anyway, I think all this color on my head has finally sunk in and gone to my brain because somewhere on the walk from the front gate to our towels, my wallet mysteriously slipped out of my purse and was gone. I didn't notice until later that night when I went to put my moms credit card in my wallet - that wasn't there. I called Caitlyn in a panic to see if she possibly had it. She did not. Finally my mom convinced me to call 7 peaks "just to check". I thought, who would turn in a wallet? I doubt its there. I finally got someone in the main office, explained what my wallet looked like and she said, "oh yeah, its right here at the front desk. Someone turned it in earlier."

Really? Thats so nice.. Even if they had taken it, they wouldn't have gotten very far but still. For someone to find that and turn it in- I must be in Provo! I was so happy that I did not have to go through identity theft.. too much of a hassle. This would have NEVER happened in Texas...

Sleepy Weekend

noreply@blogger.com (aLiCe) — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 16:24:00 +0000

I love this weeekend.. well not LOVE, but love the fact that after having surgery all I can do is just lay here and watch TV and take pain pills. Its the best. Except for when I'm in pain. On Friday, the Dr. took out my gall bladder. Hopefully I'll start feeling better soon! I'm not posting any pictures because I look like crap and I can't shower until tomorrow. gross.

Love these..

I am totally in love with Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory's Carmel Apples. Seriously, they are amazing. And they have a million different kinds. It makes me happy on a day when I'm grumpy.. like today. Everybody go get one!!

This can is your can, this can is my can...

noreply@blogger.com (aLiCe) — Sat, 31 May 2008 19:46:00 +0000

At work we did a Food Drive Contest, and let me just say that our group was by far the best! We had to "design" something.. I don't really know the rules of the contest, I just helped. We had $300 to spend on food for whatever we were going to make.. this is what we came up with -

The red stripes are tomato sauce cans, the white is condensed milk, the blue is fruit cocktail and the brown is baked beans for the pole!

We got about halfway up the 13 stripes and.. the middle fell out! it was a disaster. We had to re configure the whole thing, but it all worked out. Hey, it was a nice break from work.

This is one of my managers, Tom. He's crazy

And this was our Theme. We had whole song made up to do with it, but.. its lame so I won't post it. (the first part is my title to this post..)

There were about 5 other groups who joined us, but I didn't take pictures. One group made a lighthouse, one made a VISA credit card, one a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich, one a bowl of ice cream, and the Utah Arch. They were all pretty creative, but I'm pretty sure ours won.

Ah.. Tis the Season..

For weddings! Erin's little sister Taylor got married this past Thursday and I was able to go up and spend the whole day with her and the family. It was a lot of fun and she looked gorgeous.

You might remember these glasses from an earlier post.. the super sweet celebrity glasses.Erin and I are showing them off here

Right after Taylor and Abbel came out of the Temple. I love her hair! It looked so pretty and was so simple.

They are so cute together. I also loved her dress. She looked amazing in it.

Taylor and I at the reception center. It was so pretty.

This is their cake. Isn't it cute? Part of it was Peanut Butter and it was delish!

After the reception they had dancing. Abbel is Samoan and they had a few Samoan dances which were really fun to watch. Then we all just dropped it like it was hot on the floor.

Me and Nikki - I liked wearing the veil.. I felt important

By the end of the night, Bryson, was SO tired and was just staring at everything with no emotion. He passed out as soon as we got in the car.

I'm so excited for Taylor and Abbel! Congrats you guys
