Jimmer Night

On Wednesday, Feb. 22, I finally saw Jimmer play basketball live! The Kings came to DC to play the Wizards. After being a huge fan for a long time, I was finally able to see him in person. Because his birthday was coming up, I made him Happy Birthday poster. The game was a lot of fun to watch!
My shirt does say, "I heart Jimmer"

The Diet

So many of you may or may not know but I've had lots of health problems for the past several months. They put me on a strict diet to help me get some energy back and get my body back to normal. I was restricted to mostly fruits, select cooked vegetables, fish, shrimp, rice, honey, maple syrup, nuts, quinoa and that's pretty much it. 

I had to stick to this diet for 2 months. To help me, I invited my friends to participate in a contest where they tried to make me the best meal using only the items I was allowed to eat. I had some interesting dinners. They were all good. Taryn one with the following meal. It was so good. She even made me fruit sherbet.

The quinoa dish was especially tasty!


Bridal Shower

One of my roommates is getting married and we decided to throw her a shower.  We had a themed shower based around story books. So we attempted to make a cake in the shape of stacked books. We played a game determining what book title would be best in describing the different phases of the their relationship. We also made them a book of love quotes and poems from everyone who attended.  As part of the party favors, I made this cute journals with the word LOVE on them. I think they turned out cute.

We also made lots of delicious food but forgot to get a picture of it all.

This was the Love Poems book that I made for them.
This was the Love Journals that I made.


I also attached a small golf pencil that I covered in cute scrapbook paper.

This was the final favor with added chocolate.

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...
