Beauty.

I love when my besties get together for a day of love and fun. A few weeks ago was Cat's baby shower and Jessi drove up from Vegas to be here for it. We had a girls day on the Friday before and just loved it. I love these girls so much. Wouldn't have gotten through DR without them.

I keep wondering what we were talking about at this moment in time... It looks interesting.

The day came complete with a haircut in Mary's kitchen. My friend Tiana (sitting) hasn't really cut her hair since junior high!!! Jessica cut off probably almost 10 inches. It was a fantastic finish.

We have a strong love.

Driving and singing Justin Beiber at this moment. I love JB.

First pedicure of 2010. Guess who's are the prettiest!! Yep, mine. orange flips.

I just love this picture.

You can tell how I feel about this picture being taken by my pure cheese smile... gross.

So Pregnant. I love her belly. Can't wait for little Samsonite to come!!

Ziiionnnss 2010

Zions Park. Road Trip. so. Much. Fun. First night was FREEZING, but luckily I had my Snuggles with me to keep warm and cozified in my mummy bag.

Engagement photo rock. L + L + A = Love.
Feeding the chipmunks... this is illegal. But it was just so fun.
Loving the drive down in the Chadilliac. All set with our GaGa Goggles, Snuggles, a whole pan of brownies and old school tunes.
Pit Stop at the Slut Hut... or Brad's Food Hut. Apparently it has a reputation in Cedar City.. None the less- really great grilled cheese sandwich and a magical sparkling strawberry tattoo made it fantastic.
Such beautiful red rock mountains. I love this place. Its enchanting. Not so much a fan of the heights.. I only made it half way up Angels Landing - but at least I did the first half of the chains! I now know what it would feel like to almost fall to my death from shaking.

I-da-ho.

First official road trip of 2010 (besides moving). Went to Island Park, Idaho. Magical. Only took 7 hours to get there instead of the normal 4. Why? Well, we HAD to stop in Malad, ID. If you've never been there, I suggest going. It's simply enchanting. And if you like grease, Malad Diner.

Melissa, me, Angela.

The cabin was amazing. Hot tubbing with Diet Coke (or Coke Zero) is the only way to do it. Also fake tattoo's that came from Malad. See? I told you it was a magical place.

And what's a car ride without gossip? Playing catch up in the back seat. Best part of the whole mag? Crossword in the back.

The Pier of Island Park. For some reason we spent almost an hour on this beloved structure.

We went on a couple bear hunts. Sadly, we never found a bear. Beethoven we did find. He smelled like a skunk, slobbered all over my pants and wouldn't catch my snowball. We got rid of him.

B.P.E.

B.P.E. = Best Party Ever.

Every Sunday it happens.

Some of the things we've done-

Lots of Jumping.

Trying to catch bubbles.

Scoots and Skip It. Yes, Skip It.

Hula Hooping

Long Boarding

Just being.

aaaannnddd... I'm back!

Its been over a year since I posted last. A year. I never left the blog world, I still stalk all of you. But, now I'm back to join in the fun. I'm not going to recap the past year, thats just too much and lets be honest, nobody really cares what happened in my life 8 months ago. The most major thing I'll recap is that I moved BACK to Utah.. yet again. This time for good! Loving new roommates, loving new friends, loving new traditions.

First day at Sugarhouse Park 2010. *Missing Brooke and Melissa. But Brooke is capturing this moment

Duplex Dinner at Cheesecake Factory. Magical Red Velvet Cheesecake. Love the Boys Next Door.

St. Patrick's Day Parade. Who knew? Neal loves the roller derby girls.

Ogden Winter Fest. Winter would not have been complete without Ski Joring, Human Bowling, this Muskrat or Great Harvest. Thanks Tanner.

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...

This is my roommate for anyone who didn't know or who cares.

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 :)

Just In Case You Were Worried.....

It does snow in Texas!

Going... going...

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

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

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

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...

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!
