What to do on a Friday night?... Go to Snowbird! First, round up all your snow gear and head to the lift for some great tubing. If you are me, crash on your first run down. Make sure to take pictures on the ski lift and in the nets below. Then check into your room at the lodge and throw on your swim suit. Head up to the roof top pool and enjoy the hot tub! When it gets too hot, go back inside and make hot chocolate in the coffee maker. For first time coffee maker users: it takes a LONG time to heat water. That is what to do on a Friday night!

Joshua Radin and Missy Higgins

Last night I was able to go to Joshua Radin and Missy Higgins . . .What a concert! I love both of these artists and I would have to say this show is definatly on my top list of concerts attended! It was at the venue with a smaller crowd, which I love. There was no opening band and so they each played a ton of music. Good Times!

She played a new song that was really fitting to my life, It is for a movie scene and it is about a girl that was living life full speed, "running so fast," having her life planned out ahead of her, she did all those things she wanted, she graduated school and found herself a little lost and a little stuck on where she should go and what she should do. I love the lyrics.

So here I am Treading water again

This is not what I had planned When I saw this day

We run so fast With the wind on our tails

And the hope in our young hearts

Yeah we run so fast Oh we run so, we run so fast

Until now I've been bold I've laughed at fire

I've danced through the unknown

Oh but lately things have shaked me

Some paint this land For a want to believe

There's a hole in a dead end That you can let me see

This dark is strong I've been trying to move

But the inside is square one It won't let me through

Until now I've been bold I've laughed at fire

I've danced through the unknown

But lately things have shaked me

Do we ever have control?

I swear I thought I knew where rivers flow

But lately things have shaked me

High School Musical 3

It was Saturday evening and as I got home from work Mom and Dad were going out for dinner and Megan was seeing HSM3 with friends. That left Kayla and I alone at home, what better to do than have a girls night and go see HSM3 too! We first stopped at the Thanksgiving point deli for shakes. And then to kill some time before the show we happened upon a Fall Festival . There we found a childhood favorite. . . War Heads. I forgot how sour they were and don't worry, we snapped a picture of our sour faces. Troy and Gabriella did not let us down in this teenage chick flick. It was a Disney spectacular with dancing and singing, basketball and drama club. High School Musical!

A week in the City

I can't believe New York has come and gone. Stacie and I had such a blast the whole week. We learned how to really travel! One backpack and a list of things to tackle.
One of our most favorite adventures in New York was renting bikes and biking through central park. It was amazing! The only way to see central park!
When in New York one must always see a broadway show. Our show of choice. . . The Lion King. The costumes were amazing!
We were really brave and took the China Bus from NY to DC. We went to Chinatown address for the bus station and this lady walked up to us. She asked, "Where you going?" We told her we were looking for the bus station and she replied, "Where you going? I am the bus station." Don't worry, we made it to DC and spent the day backpacking to all the memorials. We packed light but they sure got heavy after awhile. Our last day in the city was spent looking for boots. We saw all kinds of boots all during the week and we decided that we wanted a pair!Goodbye New York! Until Next Time

Once upon a trip to Bear Lake...

we decided to camp up Green Canyon. Being the two very prepared camping girls we are, we began to set up camp and realized that Stacie forgot a sleeping bag and I forgot a pillow! We also realized that we had no flashlight and no toilet paper. Talk about roughin' it! It was a fun night out anyhow. We looked at the gorgeous stars and froze in the tent. Saturday morning we haeded up to the lake for Raspberry Days! It was gorgeous weather and it was so nice to enjoy the sunshine! Chris bought Stacie some sweet crab glasses and we made sure they got plenty of wear.
On the walk back to the car, we bought the most delicous chocolate covered raspberries. It wasn't a block later that my plastic bag broke and they all toppled out onto the gravel. I began to pick them up and tell Stacie that they were okay. But, in my panic of picking them up she convinced me they weren't good. We laughed really hard.

A NEW CAR!

So I am a little behind in saying that I have a new car. It is a bit of an upgrade from my 1998 Toyota Corolla. Introducing... the 2007 Honda Civic. I actually decided on the car without even driving it, I was at work when my dad called and told me he just drove a great car that was a really good price. He told me it was such a great deal that I had to decide right then if I wanted it. Talk about a little pressure!!! The decision was extremely stressful, all ten minutes of it. But, I called him back and said, "I guess I will have it." The very next day we drove to Orem and picked up the car. After a few hours of extremely deep cleaning, inside and out, the car was perfect! The first few days it did not feel like my car at all. I drive old cars, not new ones. It took me a few days to get used to tinted windows too, it is tougher to see out the back. I think the funniest moment was me on the freeway trying to figure out how to turn the lights on. People must have wondered what was going on...dark....brights....off...brights again...oh, finally normal. I had my old car for a little over a week and yesterday afternoon I turned the keys over. It was a strange moment, seeing the little car I drove for 6 years drive away with a new owner. I guess I can see it driving every now and then, since our friend and neighbor bought it.
