80's Dance

Last weekend my roommates and I dressed up for the 80's dance. We thought we'd be the only ones dressed up, but luckily we were wrong. There were a few others that had dipped into their dress up boxes, but for us we went the goodwill route to find our one of a kind outfits...

Can you tell were pumped?!

Peace out!

Fundraiser

My friend's brother found out a few months ago that he has Lou Gehrig's Disease (when you lose muscle and feeling in your body). So they had a big fundraiser for him to help with the medical bills and raised $30,680. He's a police officer so there were lots of cops out to show their support. They had a lottery going for some really cool stuff that was given to them for free, like a Wii. That's what I wanted, but no luck. But I did win a Magna flashlight. They also had these shirts made to sell there too. It was neat to see the family and community come together for a man who's married with 4 little boys. It made me more grateful for everything I've been blessed with.

Here he is getting interviewed by the news with his little boy
looking up at him. His brother is next to him.

Easy Peasy!

A friend of mine made a really cute hair clip so I asked her if she could teach me. They're so easy to make! It's just felt, thread, clip, a button, and the hot glue gun. They take like 15 minutes to make. It's as easy as 1. 2. 3.

WICKED!!

Last week I went with my roommates to WICKED! It was a blast. I just love the music. I saw it about 2 years ago in LA and it was amazing. I love Broadway musicals. Now I can say I have seen one. I think if I had seen more, this still would be my favorite hands down.

I'm trying not to squint in pictures. But it made my smile
look a little off in this one.

Visiting Family & Wedding

I went to Idaho the first week of July to visit my family and to go to my roommate's wedding.

I got to spend a few hours with my friend from Texas before I headed up to Idaho

It was so fun to have a day trip over to the Temple and spend it with dear friends. When Bekah and Glen were dating we found out Glen and I are second cousins. Our grandma's on our mom's side are sisters. It's a small world! So it made it even more special to be there. And to think now Bekah is related to me is pretty cool too. :)

the picture at the same time... hence not really looking at the
camera)

Beks wanted me to hold her flowers

Showing off the french braids I just did in their hair

Practicing French Braiding

A month ago a friend taught me how to french braid... I'm still learning.

Here's what I did to my hair one night. I'm still not very good. It can be tricky at times,
but it's fun to learn something new.
