before christmas.

our 12/12/12 chrismakkuh party happened and it was a hit. hot chocolate, treats, snowflake making, and we had everyone write down advice for their twelve year old selves. hilarious stuff.

valentina turned twenty four! we went to dinner and went back to her apartment for cake and dancing. i made a funfetti cake using diet cherry 7up instead of eggs and oil. and might i add, it was delicious.

a roommate [plus valentina who is basically a roommate] christmas happened. and to put it lightly, i totally scored. two yogurtland gift cards, an awesome notebook, a star wars kids book [be still my heart], some nail polish, and a beautiful iphone cover. what did i do to deserve such thoughtful friends?

austin: the conference.

i had been planning on going to austin for labor day all summer for the young single adult conference which was to be run by my good friend adam ruri. friday i was itching to get there so i left work a couple hours early and split with my friends shana and hannah [yeah, i didn't get invited to the rhyming names club]. three and a half hours of snacks, laughs and girl talk later we arrived in austin and the fun began. 

the conference consisted of night games, a few service projects, water games, a bangin' dance, and a few speakers. we met a lot of cool people, ate some great food, danced our hearts out and heard some inspiring talks that were so perfect to hear.

this was my first ysa conference [well, i would say that my entire four years at byu was a ysa conference...] and it will be hard to beat! here are a couple pics of the fun times.
it was so fun seeing my friend! and i got to meet his fiance, who is amazing of course. congrats you two!

professional bullriding. bbq. line dancing. swing dancing. signed hamburgers. semi-cowboy boots.
live music which was being recorded for a dvd. even a proposal from the lead singer.

you swim like you're on fire

song for this post. colorful by rocco deluca & the burden.

so friday we drove past east high school (yeah... it's the high school where hsm was filmed) drove past being the key words. boo. boo on boys. then we got some pizza (we were so hungry that rob stole the untouched breadsticks off the couples plate that left next to us and we ate them like they were the last edible thing on earth. don't judge.) after which we went to the gymnastics meet! it was really cool, we have few girls in our ward on the team and they are seriously the coolest cutest girls ever. another interesting fact: the attendance at this gym meet was a ncaa record! cool.
ok, now for what you have all (actually, i dont know) been waiting for...
the holi krishna colors festival!
this is a festival that happens every year at the same time at the holi krishna temple in spanish fork, ut. it is a celebration pretty much all day with music and food and such but at a certain time (actually two times), you all throw colored chalk. 
and magic happens.
actually i don't know about that, but it is really cool! see for yourself! (brace for pics...)
so many people!
this is what it looked like while the powder was being thrown. you could barely see the person next to you! good thing i had a mask and my shades. kudos to katie for the cool pics.
word g man.
me and katie looking tough. look how cool my hair is!
the colorful gang. this guy was kind of in charge of the whole thing i think. he kept talking about peace and stuff. 
kinda crazy, but cool :)
this guy was taking his traffic directing job waaay too seriously. we just had to get a picture of him.
check out that policeman 'stache!
i only got slightly obsessed with taking pictures of myself in the car.

and outside.
and at home.

so if your ever in this neck of the woods around the end of march, i would seriously suggest coming joining in the colors festival!

surprise for sarah

friday night (the 22nd) we threw a surprise party for sarahmaines. it was so fun, especially since she had absolutely no idea. we went out to dinner before to olive garden (thanks dad!) and decided to get all dolled up for it. so we donned our lbd's (ahem, little black dresses), snapped some pics and headed out. it was so yummy and we all looked mighty fine. plus it was perfect because we went to the party afterward looking hawt. it was a great night and a great success overall.
