Best Concert To Date!

Last night Abbey and I went to the Paramore/ No Doubt concert at the E Center. It was amazing! Paramore has been my new favorite band for a little over a year and No Doubt was my favorite band in Jr. High and High School.No Doubt has been apart for a while so it was so cool to see them back together again.
PARAMORE!!
The lead singer of Paramore (Hailey Williams) has an awesome voice live! She sounds just as good if not better then the CD.




If you need a good concert buddy then take Abbey with you. She was rocking out right along with me. Abbey and I were definitely the best fans in the whole concert! Thanks for coming Abbey!

Bachlorette Party

My friend Amber got Married today to Brad Harris but a few weeks a go we threw her a surprise Bachlorette Party. It was so fun, we blind folded Amber and then dropped her off at Grande America where we had a "Grande" night out. We played games, went swimming and watched movies. It was a perfect and much needed girls night!




Christine had decorated our Suite with Bachlorette confetti, banners, and balloons

Then came the presents!!!

Congratulations Amber we love you!!

Belated Post: Zions

Right around our Anniversary last month Jake and I went down to Zions National Park with my mom to go hiking. We decided to hike the Overlook trail. It was very strenuous but worth it all once we got to the top and saw this beautiful view!







If you look very closely you can see a road run along the river at the bottom of the canyon. That is where we started the hike! Let's just say that my calves and knees were burning after this hike.

3 years and counting!


Yesterday, April 13th, was our 3 year Anniversary. I can't believe how fast these 3 years have gone by. It literally feels like it's only been 1 year. I guess that's a good sign. It must mean we still like each other.



When I got home from work yesterday Jake had planned to take me out but I had no idea what we were doing. I was so surprised when he drove me up to Breathe Day Spa and told me he had booked a Spa Pedicure for me. I was so stinkin excited!! (If any of you have ever had a Spa Pedicure you would know that they are way better then those scary nail salons in the mall that often give foot fungi to their clients!) I was taken to a low lit room with soft music, and enjoyed the most relaxing pedicure I have ever had, while sipping on peppermint tea and eating cookies!! All the while Jake was enjoying himself at Barnes and Noble.





After wards I was so relaxed and happy but I felt bad Jake didn't get to do anything. I mean this was OUR Anniversary not just mine. But he said that all he wanted for his anniversary was to see me happy and relaxed. OK so I have the best husband on the planet!! Thank you so much Jake, I love you more than you'll ever know. Thanks for marrying me and putting up with me these 3 years!

Las Vegas!!

This past weekend from Wednesday the 18th to Sunday the 22nd I went to Las Vegas with some girlfriends, and we had a blast!!

Here we are at the famous Las Vegas sign.

Emalia, Me, Aubrey, Jana, and Kirstin




First thing we did when we got down there was go dancing at some clubs. It was fun to just go with girls and have a fun time dancing and laughing.
This was looking down at the dance floor of the LAX club in the Luxor Hotel. We could barely move while we were down there. It was crazy!




The next couple days we stayed and laid out at the pool. The condo we were at had this cool lazy river and we made this chain with our tubes. Everyone at the pool loved it even random people were taking pictures of us. It was kinda silly cause we didn't think we were doing anything special. Someone even offered to take this picture for us. haha



while shopping in one of the many malls Las Vegas has to offer I found this Buddha and I had to document me rubbing it's belly!




The last night of dancing we went to Tryst at the Wynn hotel. It had a dance floor that lead into a 90 ft waterfall that fell into a Lagoon . It was awesome!

After dancing for a few hours and burning a lot of calories :-) , We were ready to go to bed. I think every night we got to bed between 2am and 4am. We would then wake up to Aubrey making breakfast around 10:30 am. It was so great!


On Saturday, the night before we left, we had the amazing opportunity to see Phantom of the Opera at the Venetian Hotel. It was so amazing!!!! The stage alone cost 35 million dollars to construct. It was a condensed 95 min version of the musical but it was spectacular. I have seen Phantom 4 times now and this was by far the best. They had a real Chandelier that seperated into 4 pieces and was lifted to the top of the theater at the beginning of the musical. Later it was dropped right before hitting the audience, the props were huge!, there was fireworks and balls of fire shot on stage, at one point Raoul jumps 20 feet down into a trap down on the stage. It was insane! It was so beautiful that I was crying practically during the whole thing! I recommend everyone who has ever liked the Phantom of the Opera musical on stage or the movie to come see it performed like never before in Vegas!


Here is what the theater looked like, and yes, that is the chandelier that falls dozens of feet! It was so cool! I had so much fun on this trip! I think I actually lost weight from all of the calories I burned laughing, dancing, and just having a blast! This was a much needed girls trip and I hope we get to do it again very soon!!
P.S. on the way home I did have the opportunity to go buy Twilight at Target and watched it on Aubrey's DVD player in her car! I recommend the Target version of Twilight cause it has the 3 disc special edition.

Draper Temple

While I was on a trip to Las Vegas with some girls friends Jake got to stay home and hang with the guys. He also got to go to the Draper Temple Dedication yesterday. He took a couple siblings with him and they waited hours just to get inside. Then they watched the dedication from a small chapel in the temple. I really wish I could have gone with him, he said President Monsen even came into the chapel and greeted the children. So if any of you were wondering who was more righteous out of Jake and I, I think this was a good example: He was at a once in a life time temple dedication while I was in Las Vegas, the city of sin! haha. Well at least I have a wonderful example to look up to!
