DUCK BEACH 2009


So every Memorial Day weekend hundreds of single LDS peeps flock to the beach. Houses are rented, parties planned, volleyball nets set up, bathing suits worn, and lots of friends and new people to met all around. This year proved to have all these and more.

This picture is in front of the house I stayed in, Sea Spray, and all the cool people in the house with me.

This was the beginning of the amazing sand sculpture that was built. (First Picture is the finally product)


Digging a big hole to bury people...

...so they could give out free kisses



This is me sporting a bathing suit so ugly the camara even tried to keep it's lens closed.

I got lots of strange looks wearing the wool swimsuit or the chastity suit as I like to call it.

Church on Sunday is always an experience as they try to cramp hundreds of people into a tiny church building. The halls are lined with chairs and every classroom in the building is filled. These were some of the findings in one of the classroom...Notice that all the footprints but one are following...the rainbow one isn't...hmmm.

And apparently in the South they like to spell words the way they pronounce them.


Volleyball
Chillin in the sun with friends!





Slip 'n Slide into the Pool....What a GREAT IDEA!





More fun times in the pool...jumping to catch the frisbee



Lunch before leaving at the Duck Deli




Just as anticipated...Fun times were had, friends were made, skin was burned, volleyball tournaments were played, bike rides were taken, basketball games were watched, drama was abound and safaris were swam. Duck Beach 2009 happened!

You know, this is funny because I just learned about Duck Beach this week from my friend. I have lived on the East Coast for 3 years now (as a singleton of course) and I'd never heard of it before! I may be making the trek next year... maybe.

Looks like you had a really fun time!

Bree's Back and She's Better then Ever!

Bree and I have been friends for a while now. Our friendship began when we were roommates at BYU after meeting our freshmen years (over a decade ago!). She just returned home from serving a mission in Spokane, Washington and it had been a long time since I'd seen her. We've shared some fun times together over the years and I couldn't wait to see her again. * As a side note* I love Bree and think she's amazing. She can sing, play the guitar, piano and drums, and she writes her own songs (even has her own CD). She wrote me a song years ago! She's also amazing at any sports she plays, especially frisbee though. In addition to this, Bree is just so fun to hang out with. So Bree invited me to come up and join her for her first YSA dance after the mission. Since, I love YSA dances ( I actually can't stand them...i really just love Bree), I said I would go. So, after work on Friday, I dressed up and drove 2 hours up to York, PA. This dance had to be one of the most ...

I'm Worth a Grand More and Pounds Less

I did it!!! I went the whole year of 2008 without eating sugar! At the end of last year, my mom challenged anyone in my family to go the year without eating sugar. Now when I say "no sugar", I don't mean nothing. I mean no sweets, candy, cookies, etc. I ate fruits and other items with minimal sugar (for example - Cold cereals with 6 grams or less). I also had 3 days were i could "cheat". So what was my motivating factor? $1,000 and the thrill of a challenge . I'm not one to pass up a challenge or a dare. My mom offered to pay $1,000 to anyone that completed the challenge. Though most people thought I was crazy, I wanted to prove I could do it. During the first couple of months it was really hard to give up the enticing sweets and goodies offered to me on a daily basis. My dreams even began to manifest my desire to eat candy, as I was sneaking bites of candy and licks of lollipops all night. I'd wake up thinking I'd ruined the deal but then the rea...

Kansas City Temple Dedication

I have this fabulous friend that lives in Manhattan, Kansas going to Kansas State University. I have been really wanting to visit her for some time and I finally made it happen! The Kansas City Temple was going to be dedicated the first weekend in May and so what better time for me to come out. Friday Night, we went to a Jamaican restaurant in Manhattan. (Yes, they had one there...not expecting that!) You really felt like you were in Jamaica until you stepped out of the restaurant and realized you were in Manhattan, Kansas. After dinner, we went for a walk in Aggieville. The hang out olace in town. Yes, it was only 3 blocks long. We got ice cream sandwiches from Cold Stone. They were delicious and spent some time at one of the local bars until I got too tired and we decided to call it a night. Saturday Morning, we went walking around her neighborhood. The weather was amazing! Then we headed back to Kansas City for the cultural event. Along the way we...
