A Little Thing Called Sunshine

On Monday in Tuesday it snowed, and today we have 60 degrees of sunshine! It's wonderful! I wore flip flops to school, and had a picnic outside with my friend Meghan. Living in California I took the sun for granted. I sure do love some sun on me! I can't wait till I'm done with school next month and can regain my tan so that I will no longer be white Utard. The grass is covered with people studying out in the sun. See for yourself!

An Ode to The Jimmer and Jax

Jimmer Fredette, look at those arms! Fredette about it!

Jackson Emery, my favorite! Wanted for excessive stealing!

<3 my boys!

Free face painting is the best!

My friends Alex and Rachel. This was when we were in the third row 

My friend Kim and I, we sat next to each other at all the games. She's crazy like me too :)

As many of you know, I am an extreme byu basketball fanatic. I went to every single home game this season, waiting in line for hours to get a good seat. I even camped out once for 3 nights for one of the games and waited in line during a blizzard. I know I'm crazy, but you have to be when you have Jimmer Fredette and Jackson Emery on your team. Since the season is officially over with our loss to Florida at the Sweet Sixteen, I decided that Jimmer and Jax needed a dedicatory ode haha. These two have been the causes of many days of a lost voice, high blood pressure, sold out games, facebook statuses, anxiety, all-nighters, television interviews, catchy slogans, face-painting, screaming, love, and a whole season of dedication. I know everyone loves Jimmer, but because I go to school with him and see him around campus, I feel like I'm allowed a little more love than everyone else. The Marriott Center court was also rushed for the first time in history after our first win over SDSU at home! I love Jimmer because he is a great team player, and is simply amazing. There's even a "Teach Me How To Jimmer" song, and a song called "Amazing" written by his rapper brother T.J. Fredette. I even gave Jimmer a name of my own, and I'm going to say it on here one last time before he goes to the NBA: Jimmer Freaking Sexy Fredette! I also have a special love for Jackson Emery. When I played basketball in high school, my best attribute on the court was my defense, so I connected with Emery a lot and respected his defense and how quick he was. Lemme just say, he is the master. He broke Aigne's record for steals while Jimmer broke his record for points. The games when we would count down with how many steals Emery had left until he was the record holder were awesome. Each steal he would get, the crowd would go wild and we would hold up 3 fingers, then 2 fingers, and then 1 finger and then he did it! I'm not sure whether my favorite player is Jimmer or Emery, because they play different aspects of the game, but, when I'm married and have children, is is going to be named Emery James after these two boys in my life that made my freshman year amazing. This boy is also going to be an adopted black boy. You think I'm kidding, but if you know me well enough, you know I'm not kidding! I tried to upload some videos of our flashmob and of the seniors' speeches that I recorded, but the only video that wasn't taking forever to upload was the one of me waiting in line during the blizzard. It doesn't look like it was snowing hard, but trust me, it was! You can youtube the senior speeches and the flashmob if you want. They were awesome!

Festival of Colors

I'm not gonna lie, in Provo it's hard to find fun things to do sometimes, but then that makes it more fun because the things we do are quite random. So, in Spanish Fork they were holding a celebration at a Hindu Krishna Temple. The celebration was called the Festival of Colors. A group of my friends got together and went yesterday, and it was awesome. At this celebration, they had live bands playing songs for/about "Krishna," a giant smoke pit, and tons and tons of people that were throwing bags of colored chalk at each other. The throwing ceremonies were held every few hours, and when it was time for the ceremony, a countdown would begin, and at the end of the countdown till the throw, everyone would throw fistfulls of chalk in the air and you would be covered in chalk, as seen in my pictures. I didn't stay for an actual throw, but I got covered in plenty of chalk by lovely people that liked to decorate me as I walked by. It was really fun. It is definitely an event to attend, and yes, I will go again next year!

The Reasons Behind A Blog

My first post as a blogger. I feel like my mother. My reasons for creating a blog are simple:
1. To unclog everyone's news feeds on facebook
2. To post more about my life, including pictures
3. Keep people updated on my life while I'm away from home

Basically, I realized that I post statuses on facebook all the time about just little things that I think are funny that happen on a daily basis, or things that I find entertaining. So, this will now become the place for that. I hope you will find my life entertaining. I sure do!
