MATISYAHU

On Saturday Ben and I went to a Matisyahu consert in Salt Lake City. He put on a REALLY good show and had the best dance moves. Haha. Wish I had a video of them. They were quite unique. It was at this place called The Venue, which is pretty small, so we basically had front row seats. Here’s a pic from Ben’s phone….

Birthday Shootout!

Here's some pictures I stole from Ben of when we went shooting on my Birthday...

I am a loser...

Allow me to explain....
It's Saturday night. 8:56pm. I am currently sitting in my car in a parking spot by my apartment where I can get the internet, since we don't get the internet in our place. And I'm adding pictures to my blog. Now normally this would NOT be how I would spend a Saturday night. BUT My roomates are all out of town and so is Ben. Now I could probably find SOMETHING to do with other friends, but frankly I just don't feel like it. I'm giving a talk tomorrow in church and I need to be mentally prepared for that since it IS MY BIGGEST FEAR. Hopefully my mouth doesn't run dry and start making a clicking noise that becomes the only thing I can focus on, like the last time I spoke in church. Haha. I'm contemplating chewing gum, I don't care if that's wrong. I just need a backup source to keep my mouth moist. Anyways...It's been raining in Provo for I think 10 days straight now. I like it at night, but not during the day. I'm really looking forward for June gloom to be over. Welp, pray that I will not faint while giving my talk tomorrow. Oh and I added pictures to my posts below, if you're interested. PEACE!

Mark my words....

I will
never
ever
EVER
be in charge of paying rent and collecting rent checks from my roomates EVER AGAIN. This is the last straw. I have been screwed over waaaay too many times. If someone doesn't understand the importance of having money in their account the day their rent check is being deposited, I will NO LONGER be the one to suffer from them being completely irresponsible.

Sometimes you just need to vent.
I think I'm done :)

22 two two to to too too....Tribute to my day of Birth

Yesterday was my Birthday. I don't think I've been text so much in my life! Haha, but everyone's Birthday wishes were greatly appreciated. I decided to get work off so I could just relax and be lazy on my Brithday. I got to sleep in and it felt grrreat. All my roomates are gone so if it wasn't for Ben, it would have been really lame. On the contrary, it was a GREAT Birthday. My mom told me that something was going to be delivered to me between 10 and 11, so I woke up and got ready and waited for the delivery. It was so cute, my mom's good friend Sue who lives in Orem brought me balloons and a delicious Icecream cake(my favorite) from my mom. It was so nice of Sue! And a great idea on my mom's part. I loved it. It made it feel like it was really my birthday. My mom is so thoughtful.

In the afternoon Ben took me shooting, which is one of my favortie things to do. Ben has a pistol and a rifle. The weather was perfect when we first got there, but it eventually started to rain pretty hard. We felt hardcore because even the rain didn't stop us(It did however, make me really cold haha). When I got back home I got ready for the rest of the night. Ben picked me up around 6 and brought with him the prettiest flowers!!! I never get flowers so I was pretty excited. He also had a big box that was wrapped with homemade wrapping paper (lined notebook paper taped with masking tape and spray painted) hahaha. SO cute. I've been wanting a gas grill for a long time now. Everything taste better grilled! When I saw the big box I knew he got it for me! I was so stoked! I'm so exctied for it and can't wait to start grillinnnnn. Next he told me we were going to Salt Lake to a "Special" restaurant. I felt like a little kid, I was so excited and giddy. I love eating out! Haha. We went to a restaurant called Flemmings(the nicest restaurant I've been to in a long time). I got filet mignon with a side of these delicious potatoes and it was to die for. The macaroni and cheese we got was the best I had ever tasted. They also gave me these dark chocolate truffles since it was my birthday and of course, they were SO good. I felt so spoiled! It was amazing. After we got home Ben put my grill together(Very grateful for that) and then we took my icecream cake over to his sister's house and shared the goodness. It was a such a great birthday and Ben was such a sweetheart for everything he did :)

My Flowers!!!

Ben putting my present together-What a man ;)

I wanted a picture with my flowers, but then I felt stupid and started

laughing. Ben kept reptedly taking pictures...this was the result.

Almost Done! Woohoo Grill!

Me displaying the goods. My balloons and cake my mom got me(The red

balloon that said Happy Birthday popped, sad) and my GRILL!!! Oh and a

piece of the homemade wrapping paper, haha!

Back Track #3...

One more thing that I have pictures of... Now I don't know how many of you can say that you have been to a Horse Pull, but I can! You may be wondering what that is...I did too. Basically it's these HUGE horses called Belgium Horses that compete in pulling a TON of weight. Pretty interesting huh. I went with Ben and a few of his friends. His friend Rusty had a cousin who had horses that were competing. It was all the way up in Logan which is about 2 1/2 hours away. Long drive but we stoppped halfway in Salt Lake to meet up with the people we were going with and ate lunch at Rusty's parents house. It was a fun day and A GREAT place for people watching haha. The pictures don't even do the horses size justice! They were huge I tell ya.

Back Track #2...

Next back track is my trip to Arizona and California. Exciting. I first flew into Arizona where I was picked up by my family. We stayed with my Grandma Hathcock. Kara's wedding was the next day and I was one of her bridesmaids. Always a pleasure ;) We went to the lake on Saturday which was SO much fun. I actually learned how to wakeboard for the first time. I wasn't any good, but I did get up, which was exciting for me. Then we drove back to California where I got to spend a few days in the sun at the beach and I got my wisdom teeth removed...not the best part of the vacation. I was also able to be there for Mother's day which was SO nice, since I haven't been able to the past few years. The whole family was there for church and a big dinner afterwards that we all pitched into make. It was a nice day :)

I always love coming home, but at the same time I'm always ready to get back to my life in Provo. There was a few things that I was missing a ton! Here's some pictures from the trip...I didn't take too many because half of the trip I looked like a chipmunk! Haha.

Hahahaha...Here I am right after getting my wisdom teeth removed. I was completely out of it! But for some reason I wanted to take a picture of the inside of my mouth. I couldn't keep both eyes open for some reason either. Haha! (I also took a video...but I'm definitely not posting that.)
