Utah

This last weekend I drove to see my sister Jane in Salt Lake City and had a great time. Every time, I get lost on the way to Jane's house and I have to call her and look an idiot. Geez. Maybe one of these times I will grow up and be able to get by on my own :)




Jane, Joe and I went to the new mall that just opened up in downtown Salt Lake City. It is so pretty! Part of it is outside, and part of it has a retractable ceiling, I thought that was pretty cool. The stores were so fancy and so many pretty things to look at!



Jane and I went to Whole Foods, and they had the prettiest flowers! It makes me so excited for springtime, because I am such a sucker for flowers.


 Saturday afternoon we all went to see The Hunger Games. I will admit, I was not very excited. I felt like I was going to be part of another culture clique so I purposely avoided the books. But I will admit that I was wrong. I really like the movie. A lot. Joe emailed me the books for my kindle and I may or may not have read the trilogy in 4 days... I fully recommend them to anyone over the age of 13! (They are slightly gruesome. However, Peeta will forever be my dream man- seriously he is perfect. )
After the movie, Jane took me to Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner for my birthday and it was delicious! Mmm...I love Italian food. 


Jane, Joe and I went for a walk through the Avenues right next to the U of U campus. SUCH pretty houses! But my favorite is the one on the right above, they have this really cool patio above their garage. Very nice use of space in my opinion.

Update on life!

So, I have been really slacking in the blogging department, but I promise to be better!
This semester has been great! I have been working in Idaho Falls, working at a preschool for developmentally disabled children- they are awesome! However, I am quitting my job when spring semester rolls around because it is just hard with time and gas money and so on. But I will be going back home for the 7 week break to work harvest (third year in a row- yay me, jk)




My birthday was a few weeks ago- shout out to my roommate Kate! She made it the BEST birthday I have had in a long time. She planned everything- we went to Paul Mitchell where I got my hair cut and styled just for my birfday. And she made my AMAZING cake and beautiful decorations. I got to share my birthday party with my good friend Matt Kelly, so much fun. We sang karaoke and made way too much noise. Matt and I shoved cake in each others faces ( I got him much better than he got me tee hee)  

Kate and I have this unhealthy obsession with thrifting at DI on the weekends. We may have actually been the last people leaving DI on Saturday night, and the manager may or may not have locked the door behind us...

I love Kate:)Best roommate!
