Korver

Chelsey Furniss called me the other night and asked if me and my roommates wanted to go to the Jazz game with her! I was like "UH YEAH!"

Not going to lie we had NO idea who the Jazz were playing but we thought what the heck, this will be fun! at the door we got free JAZZ wallets, hum don't know what I will use it for but it was FREE!!!

Of course we took a bunch of pictures and had a good time, surrounded by a bunch of drunk men... pretty sure we totally looked out of place but that is ok!

The game started at 8:30 and we didn't get home until midnight! one long game.... but there were a few things that made it most interesting!

My top 10

1. Kyle Korver! Oh wow he is one freaken good looking man! Since chels is going on a mission I totally call him!

2. Once we got there we found out that the Jazz were playing Houston. That meant that the BIG man Yoi Meng....? would be playing at 7'6" he is no small player. he was fun to watch because you could see that he loved it!

3. Chelsey's boyfriend on the floor side seats. He has curly hair and wore a Jazz Malone jersey. He would dance around the whole night, I wish I would have taken a picture because wow he was interesting! Don't worry chels I am pretty sure he will still be single when you get back! haha

4. We sat on the 18 row! How great is that! They were the greatest seats!

5.Halftime.... wow they had a man who was super flexible! He came out in a clear box and unfolded out for all to see! He wore a spandex suit and I would post the pictures if it wasn't for the fact that they are pretty much X rated... he was wearing spandex and bent over ALOT.... I won't go into any more details but I know you understand.

6.Parking... I wanted to take the trax but my roommates said it would be cheaper to just drive. We parked at the Gateway mall for 5 bucks which was great! But when it was time to leave we waited in the underground parking for 30 min before the line started to move!!!! It was nice spending quality time together.....

7.The crazy looks everyone gave us when we would take pictures. But I must say that there were three guys who were taking pictures of themselves and it was pretty hilarious

8. Chels spending the night in MURRAY and eating at Cafe Rio!

9. Did I mention Kyle Korver? Oh ya he is one good looking kid!

10. Just being able to go the Jazz game, they play games during time outs, they play music the whole time and the fans are out of control! It is one good time!!!!

JONAS JULY!

"I'm Hott, you're Cold" Yes this is the beginning line of "Burning Up" by the Jonas Brothers. Last summer Courtney and I were sitting in the basement trying to find something to watch. Well the premier of "Camp Rock" was on so we sat and watched it. From then on we were hooked, we both LOVE the JONAS BROTHERS. I know, I know my brothers say I am robbing the cradle, but I would like to clarify that two of the brother are over 18 so they are fair game:) haha

Also in the summer Court and I took a road trip to Utah and all we did was listen to the Jonas Brothers, we became their biggest fans! haha~not going to lie we even bought a magazine all about them.....

Well it was a big joke and a lot of fun chilling with Court, but I was moving to Utah to teach and she said she had a going away present. I wish I had the video of my reaction to Courtney's gift! She gave me a pillowcase of the Jonas Brothers, with my face on it on one side, and on the other side she had the girls face replaced with mine. So it looks like I am in the band! Probably one of the coolest gifts I have ever received!

We vowed that we would see them in concert since then. Well for Courtney's 16 birthday I gave her a card that promised a Jonas Brother ticket, problem was they weren't coming to Idaho or Utah.

Then on Monday I got this e-mail saying that the Jonas Brothers were going to be playing the 4th of July Stadium of Fire in Provo! Seriously I about flipped out! The tickets went on sale at 5:00 March 6 and I made sure that my roommates, me, and sisters were trying to get me tickets!

I totally scored 2 tickets to the concert! I am so freaking excited! Thanks to all my family and friends who have helped out, you rock! I know you are all jealous and seriously secretly Jonas Brothers fans! haha

Girls State

My little sister Courtney's basketball team made it to state this year! Rigby hasn't been to girls state since 2002 so this is a big deal. I decided to go, that would mean I had to have a sub for two days! This would be my very first sub for my kindergarten class so I was a bit nervous!

My sister Tara was worried about me going alone....haha so she said lets make it a trip! So on Thursday Tara and I left for a 5 hour drive to Boise:) But before we could go we had to hit up some yummy bajio!

Before I can get any farther I have to say that before we left my little brother Kyle got his mission call! We were all on 3 way speaker phones as he opened the call. He will be leaving June 10 to Paraguay! I am so excited for him!

That is what started our day, so of course you know it would be great! Tara brought her portable dvd players so that if we got bored we could watch a movie:) We didn't turn that on for a while, we just enjoyed driving and talking. Tara thought she was going to die from my sweet driving skills, ya I might have taken a turn a little to fast.... But we had a good time.

On the way to Boise Tara and I decided to check out the Twin Falls Temple. It had taken me 8 years to go to Boise, so who knows when I'd be in Twin again. We stopped and took some model shots:) I tried to get a good angle so I am laying on the ground while tara is standing in front of the door, a man comes out is like "oh i didn't see her." AWKWARD oh well

After our adventure at the temple we said that on the way back we'd come and take pictures of the canyon. If you have ever driven to Boise there isn't much and it is LONG. Good thing for dvd players:) We popped in High School Musical 3 with each of us having one ear phone in, yes we were connected by ear and we rocked out! It definitely made the trip faster.

We get to Boise and head straight to the basketball game! Game 1 wasn't Rigby's best. We lost but Courtney played great and worked really hard. After the game we went to eat with mom and dad they took us to Sharis. At the hotel Tara and I shared a bed and she kept saying, "there is a line don't cross it," giving me like a sliver of the bed!

You can't be in my family and not shop... so while we waited for Game 2 mom and I went shopping! I love it and I got some great deals and cute clothes! Also dad informed us of what he wants for his birthday... hahah

Game 2 proved to be a better game and Rigby won! I think it was because of my sweet hat! Again it is so much fun to watch and I am so proud of Court! This meant one last stay in Boise. We have family up there so we stayed with them. They were so great to let us come and crash at their house.

Game 3 we lost.....but we weren't to sad, I felt bad for the seniors but Court is a sophomore so she still has 2 more years to go. Of course after the game we went shopping, and then Tara and I went to the Boise temple. Good times.

On our long journey home we stopped in Twin Falls to take some pictures of the canyon. We also picked out a new movie "House Bunny" and rode home.

I had so much fun and Tara was such a sport for coming with me on the long journey!

So I teach Kindergarten and pretty sure we sometimes get to do the coolest stuff. The other Kindergarten teacher and our Tech man are both Falconers. I didn't know what that was at first... ha ha No they have falcons and they train them and fly them in competitions. Anyways I asked them if they would show us the birds. The other kindergarten teacher has just her falcon Bea. She is a girl and really loud when she is hungry.

The Tech Man has 7 birds and only brought in 4 of them. He showed us 2 owls, his falcon and his hawk. He let me be bait for the hawk and I got to have him fly to me and eat the meat right out of my gloved hand! It was really cool. Of course I wasn't taking pictures myself but the other Kindergarten teacher has a shot of me with the bird, to bad she has it and I don't...

The other thing that happened was that they were flying the birds and well I was watching through my camera, I was taking video and it was really cool. You can hear the owl hooing and also making a clacking sound that is its way of saying "I am going to attack you if you don't leave me alone." The birds weren't going to hurt us because they aren't like that but when they get fussy they will show their ugly side I guess.

Also when they flew the falcons..... Just watch the video, it will make you laugh and that's all I can say:)

A couple of weeks ago we had a relief society retreat at our stake presidents cabin. His cabin was right off of the Brighton ski resort. Having found some old school ski's in our grainery (thanks to kyle over Christmas break, and also thanks to Tara for skiing in high school) I thought it would be fun to ski in Utah, I live like 30 min away and I figured it could be cool. So my roommate and I were looking at the rates and it was like $55 to ski all day in Brighton, no thanks.
Well I am telling a fellow teacher/friend from work about this and she is like, well my husband works up there for Solitude ski resort and he has free passes if you want them! I also teach her daughter and she said this is my gift for Teacher Appriciation! Ya I am one amazing teacher:) So me and my roommate Stephanie were able to ski Solitude from 9am-4pm Saturday!
It was so much fun! We started out pretty easy and then found this random trail, that so so steep that we had to take off our ski's and slide on our butts the whole way down, not my proudest moment, but it was so wicked fun!
After that we stuck to the smaller hills and occasionally ventured out! Steph was a real sport putting up with me and my falls! Thanks man!
I thought I wouldn't be able to move for days after but actually I am pretty good. Kind of sore here or there, but all around in good shape!

Except in the eye, I know it is random but I got a piece of hair in my eye, from my wicked sweet hat Tara found for me for Christmas, and it scratched my eye in two places. So on Sunday morning I had steph take me to the doctor, and they gave me some eye drops. Turns out I am allergic to these eye drops and my eye was bright red, and super sensitive to light! Ya good times:)

Dream Men

So I love photoshop, when I started school I was going into graphic design/broadcasting, I really didn't know what I wanted. Anyways I took some classes and learned how to mess around with photos! I love it, it has become a hobby of mine.

My roommates and I have been making a goal list, and one of the goals was to meet our "dream men." Well one day Shellie and I decided to look for picture of our guys. Well Shellie loves Frodo from Lord of the Rings, Stephanie loves Ron from Harry Potter and I love Jim from the office. So we found pictures and I photoshoped them, they are so sweet!

We hung them up on our wall for decorations, and have a really neat quote to go with them!

"You cannot make someone love you, but you can stalk them and hope they panic and give in!" ya I think it fits!

Am I really doing this?

Wow I have finally decided to start myself a blog.
Reasons for doing it
1. Everyone is doing it
2. I can't put all my funny stories on facebook
3. I love posting pictures about myself (sad but true) :)
