Road Trip!

This weekend me and two of my friends, Rachel and Bethanie, went up to Rachel's grandparent's house in Pinedale. We drove up Saturday and came home Sunday. It was a quick trip but it was a lot of fun. What should have been a two and a half hour drive became a four hour drive on the way up because we kept stopping. We wanted to get a lot of good pictures out of this so we stopped whenever we wanted to. It was nice to not be in a rush and to be able to enjoy the drive. Our first stop? Taco Bell, of course.After we left Payson we started to see snow. There wasn't a ton but we found a place where we could pull over so we could snap a few pictures. This is the best we could do with the self timer.

Next we stopped at Bison Ranch just outside of Heber.


Finally, we made it to their house :) This is in their yard.

Sunday we went to church. We only stayed for Sacrament meeting because we wanted to go to the Snowflake Temple. I forgot my heels and I was SO mad because they are really cute. I was glad I had those flats though because the only other shoes I had were my vans.

Rachel's great-great grandfather built this sweet barn a long time ago. We decided it would be a good spot for pictures and we got a lot of good ones. I wanted more of the three of us but it was hard to find places to put the camera to do the self timer. The ground only worked in so many spots :)



It was a really fun two days. It made me miss going to St. Johns. I may have to convince my parents it would be a good idea to go up there again.

"They have more fun than we do."

The other night I got together with a few friends I haven't seen in a while and we had a girls night that included Olive Garden, Bride Wars, oreoing people's houses, buying squirt guns and invading people's houses with them, running, pictures, panty hose on our heads and lots of laughs.

And in case you were wondering......this really hurts.
And yes, that is mascara in the corners of my eyes. All of our eyes were really watery and when we finally took the panty hose off we had mascara all over our faces.

I don't know how we got all that done in one night but it was a blast. I felt like I was in jr. high again. The four of us have an interesting friendship. Two of them were already best friends, but the four of us started hanging out about two and a half years ago and we don't see each other often but when we do its like it hadn't been 6 months since we'd last hung out. I love these girls.

Cardinals Game!

On Saturday my family went to the Cardinals game! My dad bought us tickets and we sat in the 20th row. Most of us have never been to an NFL game because they're always on Sundays and it was a lot of fun.

In the car on the way there:

At the game:
It was so packed!
game faces:final score!! :)

Three doors down performed at half time, and the lead singer (Brad Arnold) also sang the National Anthem before the game.

I also discovered how well the zoom on my camera works. I know the pictures aren't really all that clear, but I was still excited. We were sitting by the corner of one of the end zone's and I was still able to take shots when they were on the opposite end of the field.
It was way fun and I'm glad my dad thought to get tickets!
