DA ZOO!!!

Oh what a glorious day I had with my best friends in the whole wide world! Justin drove all the way to pick me up and take me to Salt Lake to see my Daddy in the hospital. He just had major surgery on his abdomen and it was his birthday so we went to surprise him with a visit. Although I'm not sure if he knew we were there or not, he looked pleased to see us. Justin and I ate dinner with my step-mom Cathy and sister April in the cafeteria, and it was actually quite yummy. We bid my family goodbye and met up with the good ole' gang from college at the Hogle Zoo! Derek, Kenzie, Chelsie, and Jen were all there and we had a blast spending time together at the zoo! It was the most fun I had had in weeks. We just loved being in each others company. Afterwards we met up with our dear friend Brad, the last person of the gang and went to the Clark planetarium, and out to eat. Needless to say it was a wonderful day spending time with the people I love most. The zoo just never gets old, but it was even better to share it with friends (even though it rained on us). Hopefully it will happen again in the very soon future!

Until we meet again...... FRG!!

Masquerade Ball

The last dance of the year was by far the most fun dance me and my roommates had been to all year. At least for me it was. We spent the good part of the afternoon getting ready for this little shin dig (the girls that is...). Thanks to my wonderful stage makeup skills I acquired in college, I painted masks on all of my roommates, and Derek. It was a lot of fun and we all looked really great. Plus, we had a lot of fun putting rhinestones on our faces... Derek excluded. haha. After we were all ready, we headed on over to the Malt Shoppe for a nice burger. We were starving after making ourselves beautiful for so long. Then we headed to the dance. Although, now that I think about it, we only danced to one song... haha. Most of the time we stood in line for the carriage ride outside. It was very cool. They also had Snow cremes (delicious snow cones made by a lady in Spring City, she was hired for the dance), a picture booth, caricatures, and tarot card readers. I definitely had a blast.

A Bad Year for Tomatoes

I had the wonderful opportunity to be in the final production in Snow College's theatre season. It was a comedy called "A Bad Year for Tomatoes", and it was so much fun to be in! I played the part of Cora Gump. I southern girl with a lot of spunk who wasn't afraid of saying what she was thinking, or afraid to drink a little. And by a litte... I mean a lot! Apparently I'm good at pretending to be drunk... I don't know if thats a good thing... The show had only seven characters total in it. 4 girls and 3 boys, so it was a very small, tightly knit cast. I can't believe that I even got to be in it, it was a huge opportunity. My family and friends were great supports to me in this role, and I never had to perform a night where there wasn't somebody there to see me. Most of my friends came multiple nights, and Justin came to all of them. Oh how I love my fans! Thanks guys, you truly are the best! I also love every single one of my co-stars very much, they were great friends when the stress of the show was getting to me. The show only ran for four performances but it was a huge success. But after drinking two bottles of apple juice a night for two weeks straight, lets just say apple juice is not my friend... ugh.


Almost the whole cast of the show... good lookin'

bunch huh?

"Willa Mae Willcox, Reba Harper, and Cora Gump"

Yes, my dress was shaped like a rectangle...
Man, I'm going to be goodlooking when I'm old... :D

"you can say that again...."

Festival of Colors

Me and my besties traveled back to my dear hometown to participate in the festival of colors and boy was it fun!! I'm pretty sure I inhaled a few pounds of chalk, but meh who really cares? (haha I had pink boogers) We drove up there, chalked ourselves out, ate dinner in the crowded mall covered in chalk, and drove home. It was wonderful!

West Side Story

Okay I guess that last post wasn't very fair, and I should tell you more about what went on at school. So I will do my best to keep up and try to get everything you missed in the last few months on there. In February, Snow College had their yearly musical. This year it was West Side Story and I had the wonderful chance to be in the technical crew for it. (well I sorta had to because of my theatre scholarship). I spent three weeks straight in the Eccles building of our college, hardly ever leaving but to sleep and shower. And by sleep I mean roughly 4 hours a night. But hey, this is college remember? I met many great friends amd learned even more. During the week of dress rehearsals, I met a wonderful boy named Justin Rico, who played the part of Chino in the play. We began hanging out an flirting back stage. A week later he asked me to be his girlfriend and I gladly accepted. He is the greatest thing that has happened to me since sliced bread! I love every moment I get to spend with him, he is a great kid! He had recently decided to go on a mission and has just submitted his mission papers, so we are expecting a call very soon around here. I can hardly wait to see where he is going!! I am so proud!

Let the summer begin...

I know its been a while since my last post, but things were very hecktic down at school. (I passed my classes with flying colors... All A's and one B+ in my hardest class, well at least I'm satisfied)I am now moved home for the summer and ready to take it on! I'm determined to earn some serious money and try not to bore my self to death, but so far its not going too well. I have only been home a week and it feels like an eternity! I sure hope this summer goes by much quicker then it is now or I am in deep trouble. My boyfriend just submitted his mission papers and will soon be getting his call. I am so proud, and so excited to see where he is going! I'm searching for new jobs but nothing is really coming up. No worries, I won't lose faith just yet. Give me some time. But other then that, life is pretty slow. As for now, summer is here and I want it gone!

Until we meet again.... FRG
