I Wanna Punch the Rain in the Face!

I Feel Jipped! I didn't take summer school so that I could actually enjoy my summer. I wanted to spend everyday laying out and swimming at Raging Waters, like I did last summer. But Unfortunately I haven't been able to, because it hasn't stopped raining. Here I am, on June 20th, in a Hoodie. Yeah, My life is sad. The sun better come out and play in the next 64 days before school starts.

We Got More Bounce in California

Two weeks ago, me and Tre took our annual trip down to California to visit his family after finals were over. It was so nice there; the weather was beautiful. We spent six days down there, and on the sixth day- my family (Mom, Dad, Brandon, Kristin, Tyler, Ann and Brent) met us down there so that we could celebrate Mom's birthday. Tre and Lili, playing Nintendo DSMe and the Baby.There he is!Tre's nephew, Auli. He's the cutest.On our last day with Tre's family, we went down to Hollywood. This is Me, Tre and Tre's little sister: RaeMishaI LOVE big things!This picture cost $4- just to stand with the characters!

Six flags was having a deal where you could get in for only $25 per person- so we decided that was a great idea. Unfortunately, so did the rest of the west coast- it was so crowded. And on top of that- it was 104 degrees! It was so hot and it took us 2+ hours to get on the first ride. The ride: Tatsu was awesome it tilted you as you rode to make it as though you were flying. After the first big loop, Brent, Tre and I saw something fall from the ride. As we get off the ride, Tyler realizes that it was his wallet! Not only did it have his credit cards, license and $70 in it- it also had his DOT license that he needs in order to work. So he was freaking out- and it took us about an hour and a half to get over that, because they told us there was nothing that they could do until the park closed. So we rode another ride and then went to dinner.

Before we got into the park- everyone was so energized and in good spirits.

Five Minutes in- too DANG HOT!!!

After dinner, we came back to the park got on a final ride and then waited around for nearly two hours to see if they would find it. (don't worry, we entertained ourselves by taking a bunch of pictures). Once the park closed, it was back to business and everyone was in a horrible mood again as we anticipated the worst. We waited at the lost and found and the guys who searched the ride came down holding a baseball cap. So I went up to the lady and told her that I had lost a brown fossil wallet and she was really hopeful... until I told her where I had lost it, and then she just shakes her head and says, "Nope, they just searched Tatsu and all they found was this hat." I look inside the hat and there is Tyler's wallet!!! I just started jumping up and down and then ran to find Tyler. Everyone was so relieved- especially Mom, who almost starting crying.
Needless to say, the day was quite the adventure. In eleven hours that we were there, we rode three rides and ate dinner.

The whole Crew!

This is the last (and best!) ride that we rode. The initial drop was 255 feet and went underground. Another plus: no one lost anything on it.

Me and Brent with the "I" standing for Incredible, or so we'd both like to think.

Mom and Dad all tuckered out

The next day, we went to the mall and the Aquarium and walked around to burn time until our plane left.

Before went out we went to Panda, and this was what Brent's fortune cookie said.

And what mine said. I think they knew we were coming.

At the mall, we bought $15 worth of gummies. Here's Brent showing off his gummy fangs

Me and Kristin liked the Aquarium so much more than the boys. We loved touching all of the creatures. so much that we got left behind so many times.

Yay!!

You have to make time for FUN!

With Finals quickly approaching (last day of classes are tomorrow!) I have had to study for long periods of time nearly every day. Although I've been studying a lot, I've also made time for a lot of fun as well. Erica and I went to see the broadway show Wicked. The music, costumes and talent were amazing and we both had such a great time. I am grateful that Erica had that extra ticket so that I had the opportunity to go. Then last Saturday, Tre and I went to see the Lakers play against the Jazz in the 4th game of the playoffs. We had such a good time! Now, I just need to focus and get through the next nine days.

Brent took pictures of me studying in mockery

Studying makes me a little loopy, when I've been doing it for too long

Tre and I, before we went to the game

I really didn't care who won the game, but I just wanted to be opposite of Tre so I looked around to find this Jazz jerzee.

"There's Only Two Types of Guys Out There...

Ones that can handle me and ones that I scare." Some friends from UPC and I decided last minute to go see the Britney Spears Concert featuring the Pussycat Dolls. It was the best concert that I've been to (granted, I've only been to one other concert: *Nsync when I was 12), but nevertheless it was awesome. The theme of the show was also the title to her latest album "Circus" and there were some crazy circus acts there. I was blown away. It was definitely worth $40!!Before the show

After the show- we are Britneyed Out.

I get my own Business Cards! :)

I just wanted to take a minute to let everyone know that I applied for the Director of Crimson Nights on the UPC board at the University of Utah and even though there was some stiff competition- I got the position! I've put a lot of work into UPC in my two years of college so far and it is about time that work paid off. :) It's going to be a lot of work and might be pretty hectic at times, but it will be a good experience and it's a full-ride scholarship so that's a plus too.

This is the note i found on my mirror when I woke up the day of my interview/presentation. I have the best family!

233 Days Until. . .

These posters for the movie were just released and OH! so sad. I hated the book, because I hate Jacob Black. But I'm still excited for the movie. The poster of Bella makes me want to cry.
