Sippin' Reminscin'

Oh Fergie. You said it so well. 

The other day I was reminiscing about the good ol' freshman days in college. There have been a lot of little things happening lately (including my upcoming b-day) that have made me think about that time and what I was doing two years ago. I sometimes coin that year as being my "transition" year or my "rebellious" year, which I'm sure most college freshman would consider to be relatively tame. Going from high school to college was difficult and the transition was kind of rough, but now, as an older and wiser junior (like being a junior in college is really that old)  I am really happy with the person that I've grown into and become. I've learned a lot in the past two years and I am really thankful for all of the sweet experiences that Heavenly Father has blessed me with.

Nevertheless, I still love to look back at my freshman year, laugh, shake my head, and mostly just remember the fun experiences. 

Things that come to mind:

Late, late nights

8am Spanish/absences

Acting classes

Bohemian

Brunette

Yogurt/Wheaties

Mismatched layers

A little bit of drama

Hot tubs

Timpview crew

Chips, salsa, friends

Facebook

Family

Obligation

Here I am, at the end of a fun filled Valentine's day. Although I've never technically had a "valentine", its still one of my favorite holidays - just everyone giving a little bit to show their affection, even if its not romantic.

But, this is not the purpose of my post. I know I really shouldn't be blogging right now - going on little over four hours of sleep and with a good hour of work ahead of me, my conscience is telling me to finish my San Manuel Bueno, Mártir homework but I'm just to mesmerized at the moment to do anything else. Devin and I just returned from the long awaited opening of Step Up 2, The Streets. Wow.

Ok, I'm mature enough to admit that the story line was pretty weak as was the dialog and a lot of the acting; truth be told, it wasn't as great as the first. However, the dancing was amazing. It made the movie. I know that I'm pretty naive and that there is a lot of other much better dancing out there but I was ... I don't know I just loved it. In addition to that, there were quite a few moments that either took my breath away or just made me get kind of a nervous/excited feeling - most of them involving "Chase". Wow, I'm a nerd.

Anyway, if you feel so inclined take a peak and see what Step Up 2, The Streets is all about.

Bowling 101

Yes, I am taking a bowling class at BYU. Why? Who knows. I wasn't learning much at first, but just barely I've been practicing my "follow through" and it's been working wonders. The other night the chit-lins and I went bowling and I got my PR - 138! Well, actually it was a 136 because I scored two points off of the bumpers (a necessity when bowling with a 5 year old). It may not seem like a high score to all of you pros out there but I have to say, I was pretty proud.

Its Groundhog's day, whatever that means

My photo diary of the last week:

Sadly, this is about how productive my Saturdays get. Last Saturday Gabe, Rub and I built a snowman in the front yard. Upon Gabe's request we named him Frosty. (By the way, the copper thing in the background is an awkward looking statue that we inherited with our house. Gotta love it.)

One of my cute Saturday outfits. Why do I find pleasure in posting slightly embarrassing pictures of myself?

Did I mention my sister is a ROCKSTAR! This is her and me after her last performance as the lead in "And Then There Were None". I'll have to give an official review of the play later - for now let me just tell you - it was fantastic! (with fantastic pronounced in a Hermione-like British accent)The leading lady and her leading man. Devin played the ever sweet and intelligent Vera Claythorn while he played the dashing and adventurous Captain Lombard. They were both brilliant (also pronounced with the British accent).
