Wish I Was Here!

It is April- why is there snow?!

When I check the weather on my phone Monterey still pops up!

FYI their high is 61 and have a low of 45 today.

I love this picture of my mom and me!

Mandies Wedding

I survived my first expeience as a bridesmaid!! Mandie made a beautiful bride. I am so excited for her and her husband.

Us at the SL Temple...

We took pictures at Memory Grove-- but I left my camera at the apartment! Hopefully I get to see the pics because i think they are going to turn out adorable.

Reception.

Mandies mother made 9 dresses. That is love.

Wedding Dinner

My sweet partner in crime from this summer got married.

My first real good friend to get married... I survived to tell the tale!

My sweet friend and me

A few Alpha Phis at the dinner....

Even though Mandie getting married is exciting and fun it still weirds me out that she is all married and what not! It makes me happy to know that when I get married she will be able to be there in the Temple with me.

Does It Get Much Better Than This?

I didn't think so.

That Is A Beautiful Thing

I was lucky enough to be surrounded by all of this over the weekend!

17 mile drive.

Why don't I live here?!

Pacific Grove

It was an amazing weekend get-a-way.

Thanks McNeils and Mom for a beautiful weekend.

Blogging from my iPhone.

Getting all excited for a .10 piece of plastic.

We went to the Jazz vs. Wizards game on Monday night. We had a good time. I love that when people throw megaphones, balls, and t-shirts people go crazy. Literally crazy. Cheering/taking off clothes/screaming/etc. All for a .10 piece of plastic. Makes me laugh everytime!

Love you girls!

I heart days off.

17.2 tons of frosting every year.

That's how much frosting Mrs. Fields Cookie Factory goes through each year. (That is only for internet and catalog orders!) The factory tour was fun- however it was no Jell Belly tour.

The essentials in my daily life- yes that is a Diet Coke.

Today was my first day off that I have actually spent in Salt Lake. It has been fun...

"Do you think they FedEx these?"

I had one of the funnest nights last Friday! My little sister in Alpha Phi Kady and her parents treated me to dinner down in St. George and we ate at 25 Main. It is the cutest cafe. Plus they have cupcakes. Look at me and the cupcake schedule! I can't wait to take my family there this summer!!

I had not laughed this hard in awhile! Thanks for such a lovely evening!

Happy Birthday Miss Elaine!

Happy happy birthday Best Friend!

I hope you have an amazing day.

I wish I could be there to celebrate with you!

I am thinking about you out here and wishing you the best day ever!

Love and miss you!

I Don't Even Need A Baby

I need this bag.

I will never ask for another bag again.

Actually I will- but not for a long time.

I can take off the changing pad and just use it as a purse.

Or

I can save up for the bag and by the time I do that I will probably have a baby.

Seriously- I LOVE it.

Note To Self

You do not like being set up on dates.

Stop agreeing to it.

Say "no" at the beginning.

Unless you are genuinely interested.

That is all.

First Decor

My friend Mandie helped me make these cute pieces of wall decor! The best part about them is that we put on clear photo corners so that the pictures can be changed out frequently!

Sorry the pictures are not that great of quality {at all}! I am thinking I need to invest in a new camera... :)

Word For 2010...

BALANCE

This is not really the greatest picture to describe balance... but it will do!

I want to find and maintain balance in my life.

{Work

Social life

Money

Weight}

*The things in this picture are all things I carry with me on show days! I need to remember not to wear a dress- but something with a place to clip on my radio!

I Love My Job. Right?

9:00 p.m. Got home from Company ABC

9:15 p.m. Put on sweat pants

9:30p.m. Make lunch for the next day

9:45 p.m. Talked to Katie

10:00 p.m. Miss a call from my director*

10:01: Call director back

10:10 p.m. Put jeans and hoodie on

10:15 p.m. Get back in car**

10:30 p.m. Back to Company ABC

10:35 p.m. Set a million chairs and move a few tables***

12:30 a.m. Leave Company ABC for the night/morning

I have a new found respect for those who are contstantly setting my rooms.

I strongly dislike chairs that connect with one another.

I learned that I can only set chairs in a theater set- not Chevron.

I am grateful for Diet Coke.

*Let it be known that no good call comes after 10pm. {There are exceptions- but for the most part...}
** I am so glad I live close to work now!
*** Luckily I work with fun people who make me laugh.

We Are The World

I heard this song for the first time on the radio yesterday morning and called my mom to see if she had heard it yet. I am always so late on pop culture. I think I am losing my cool factor. Sad.

I watched the video on youtube- and I got all teary eyed. I have been singing it ever since.

How Cute Is This Headband?!

I was trying to make a catchy song like the Gap Kids commercial from this Christmas. "How Cute Are These Boots?"

My aunt is amazing.

I love it. Love it soo much that I wore it the day after I got it!

My hair is still in the awkward phase...

I am reminded that I still need to blog my apartment!
Now you can say you have seen my bathroom!

Happy Valentines Day

I had a pretty big event going on this weekend so I worked all weekend long! It was a lot of fun- I feel so blessed to LOVE my job. It's amazing that I am doing what I want to do every single day!

Working this weekend meant I worked on Valentines Day! I really wasn't bothered by it- it gave me something to do on Valentines Day! I was surprised when I got a phone call asking where I could pick up a flower delivery!

It was the sweetest thing ever. And no... the flowers are not from my dad!

The card with the flowers was probably the best part...

Alicia,

No girl should have to work on Sunday.

Or Valentines Day.

No matter how much they love their job.

Now you can love it more.

I have left the flowers on my desk- since I spend more time at work than I do at my apartment! Everyone who passes by my office comments on the beautiful arrangement! I feel like one lucky girl!

Alpha Phi Bridal Shower

One of my dearest friends is getting married!

I had a joke with her that she needed to give me 3 months to get in shape for her wedding- she did!

The Bride-To-Be and Me!

Her colors are purple and green- so our outfits are perfect!
Alpha Phis are beautiful.

The favors- the green is much prettier in person!

P.S. I love the Asian Market. I want to go back!

Hottie McHot Hot

People are typically attracted to similar people of the opposite sex. I am not typical. I have liked blondes, brunettes, tall, short, etc. They never look alike {I am more into personality I guess :)}.

I do like tall, dark, and handsome. Strangly nobody I have ever dated has been all that tall, or dark. Handsome? At the time they all were.

I just watched Julie and Julia the other night- and I LOVE the actor Chris Messina. I also thought he was attractive in Made of Honor.

So maybe this is my type...

Look at that cute smile!

I'll Walk You To The Door

I had a lot of fun visiting Cedar this past weekend...

Lunch at the new Thai place {Cedar is branching out}

Laughing
Talking

New Friends
Games

Catching Up

Red Dress Gala

I love being an Alpha Phi.
I love being close enough to Cedar that I can still be involved.
I love the drive down to Cedar.

I love getting dressed up. I love seeing friends.

I love Red Dress Gala.

This is the 4th Red Dress Gala. I now have 2 awesome red dresses! Want to see from years past?

Year 1

Year 2

Year 3

Please ignore how extremely white I am these days!

Listen to this!

I heard this on the radio yesterday {so long XM- how I miss you}!

Doesn't it make you want to go and workout?? Wouldn't it be cool to make a slideshow of your 2009 pictures with this song playing?! I need to learn how to do that!

My First Jazz Game.

124-115 win.

I told a friend that I went to the Jazz game last night and they asked if any boys were involved, I told them "no". They were so suprised and then told me they were so proud of me for going to a sporting function on my own. Believe it or not I do like basketball! {Playing no, watching yes}

Things I noticed during the game:

• Kyle Korver is hot {already knew that but re-confirmed}
• Basketball may be the only sport I actually understand
• The Jazz dancers have about 10 uniform changes in 1 game
• A lot of NBA teams have purple as one of their colors

Thanks for the tickets Ricki!

I'm just going to say it now- I hate the length of my hair. I had to cut it this length to even all the layers out so that I can grow it out... {remind me next time I chop my hair off that I will hate it when I grow it out again}. Luckily my hair grows pretty fast.

Good Weekend.

Bridal Shower.

Reuniting with other Alpha Phis.

Catching up.

Escaping the snow storm.
Spiciest sushi ever- the menu said I had to sign a waiver with the sushi chef! {I didn't- but it was sooo hot.}

Katie 2x

Ikea.

Arrested Development.

Laughing and a good cry.

Sisters?

Nope. Cousins.

I have never lived close to family- but for the past 8 months I have been lucky enough to live with my aunt, uncle and 2 cousins! It was so great to get to know them and develop relationships with each of them. I especially looooved getting to know Miss Ricki. She is one of the most darling 18 year old girls I know. Not only is she so cute, she is smart, plays soccer, is hardworking and soo sweet. It is like I gained another little sister!

We were accidental twins!
Love you Ricki!
