California with Caitlin

I took a trip to San Diego to visit Caitlin. It was super fun!

We went to the San Diego Temple...

Cannon ball!!!

Pencil dive!!!!

Then we went to La Jolla Beach

We also went to the Wild Animal Park

I tried to get one of these birds to land on me, but they'd all look and me, poop, then run away. They didn't even fly away, they ran.

This Gorilla was wearing a cardboard box and rolling around.

I think he had a stomach ache caused by gas.

Here's our candid photo. We didn't know i was taking a picture...

I'm getting close to almost as big as a gorilla!! yeah!

Caitlin is not.

Here's the chocolate cake Jenny made for me.

Sierra!

Here's a couple pictures my dad did when we were in Arizona.

Paint!

okay, it's been a long time again since i've posted a blog. lately we've painted the living room of our apartment. it looks pretty good. we painted a blue wall and our friend daphne put new covers on the pillows and a thing that goes across the top of our blinds. also our management bought us a new rug that looks pretty sweet.

Stephen wanted to help but he didn't want to get paint on his clothes so he made sure the couches didn't go anywhere while we painted. he did provide some music from his computer though.

i've also been doing a lot of stuff with caitlin. we went to color me mine and made our own designs on some mugs that turned out way awesome! here's the pictures of them. in case you can't tell, mine is the summer california surfing theme and caitlin's is an african safari scene. it's pretty awesome!

we also went to Holi, the festival of colors. it was pretty awesome because there were thousands of people there and we all started throwing colored flour or corn starch or something at eachother after we burned a fake witch on a huge fire. Here's some pictures.

here's the temple it that hosted the festival. it was in spanish fork.We were right next to the witch burning at the start of the ceremony! it got way hot next to that fire!


once everyone started throwing their flour, it blocked out the sun! it was intense!



Just so you can see a glimpse of how many people were there. i ran into two old mission companions too.


We saw our high school friend kiel too. fun times!

also, i've been promoted at work. i am now the korean language coordinator so i have to call all the people that want a job a nuskin that speak korean and test their korean. i also have to monitor calls and find out how to help all our korean speaking agents improve. it's pretty fun and gets me off the regular phone calls for a while.

school is going good. only 3 weeks left! then spring semester starts! and hopefully the snow will go away. and i just realized that all the pictures i put up had to do with paint somehow.

BYE!

Hey faithful followers of my blog! sorry i've been slacking on the posts lately! Someday, i'll be the best blogger in the whole world! Just not now... Here's some pictures and stories of what has been going on here lately.
Here's the roomate shot. it's the fourth and final roommate photo we needed to fill the frame on the wall in our house! We all went to salt lake on a group date to go ice skating in a little outdoor rink. It was way fun, except for when i tried to do a hockey stop (i was good at it when i was younger) and i just fell on my face! my vision was way messed up for about a half hour and i felt dizzy and sick for a bit, but i kept skating - i'm just that hardcore! and while we were skating, one of the workers came onto the ice and spread out some rose petals around and some guy proposed to some girl. it was fun. she said yes. i got a pic with my camera phone.

Jody and Dieter came to Utah! I went to Park City and got Jody while Dieter and his brother were snowboarding. this is a picture of how i drive in the snow... It was fun to play with Jody and Dieter! We went to Tucanos and went bowling and went to wingers and jody and i went to the movies. it was way fun and i wish they lived in utah! to see more pictures look at Jody's blog if you can, she might have some blocks on there, i'm not sure.This month was my roommate Stephen's birthday! he's flippin' old! 23! just messin' that's not very old. I put this picture up so you can see the awesome mosiacs my roommates Garrett and Cole made. We appriciate the Arts in our apartment. Stephen's birthday party was fun, we just visited with a bunch of people and ate cake and ice cream.Valentine's Day - I had a pretty fun Vanentine's Day. everyone was giving away candy which is always awesome! I made an awesome pop-up card for caitlin and hid it in my house with little tweety bird elementary school kid valentine's day cards hidden all around my house with clues to where the pop-up card was hidden. caitlin loved that, and she totally liked the card. She likes giraffes a lot for some reason, so i drew on one there and also used a picture of her hugging some other girl, but i cut out that girl and put my picture from halloween of 2004 in there. it's way funny. We also had a great dinner at my apartment, lasagna with salad and garlic bread. Then we watched Eagle Eye. That movie was way intense! i don't want to watch it again ever probably, but it was a good movie.

I'll post again soon!

blog!

i haven't blogged in a long time. i'm trying to make a new one right now but i'm watching a jackie chan movie on tv, so there might be some spelling errors or even the sentences might not make sense. if that's the case, just look at the pictures.now that i'm looking at this picture, i don't think it's jakie chan. all asians kind of look alike... if they're in the middle of fighting. but its still awesome.

but here's some of the activities that have been going on lately.

Stephen tried to do the dishes...

i don't think it was that bad of an idea, because now our floor is way clean too!

here's some friends from halloween

Erin and Stephen

Kimbre and Cole

these are from Garrett's ugly sweater christmas party

Garrett and Kimbre

Cole, me, Garrett and Stephen

This is when we saw the forgotten carols at UVU. it was really good! if you haven't seen it, i definatly recommend that you do.

me, Caitlin, Garrett, Kimbre

Jennifer, Cole, Stephen, Erin

and just for fun, this is what my bathroom looks like.

Here's Sierra from Thanksgiving. she likes to grab my hair. in that second picutre, she drooled all over the back of my head... and the last picture is fun too. i think her eye is open a little bit, just like how her mom sleeps.

Halloween!

here's my roommates and some nerd. we've got karl malone (that's my jersey that i'm going to wear to a Jazz game someday), sonny bono, stephen = High School Musical, and me.

halloween was pretty fun. i hung out with my friends and did some party hopping with my friend jessica. we went to a stake dance and i busted out my sweet dance moves. and we finished up the night watching the sixth sense with some friends. it was way fun!

ps. i constructed my costume entirely from clothes that i wear regularly. so eventhough it was easy for me to dress like a nerd from my own clothes, it was way hard to act like a nerd. actually i think i was pretty good at that too. you should have seen my nerdy run. it was way funny.
