The Bottom Line

My sister is cuter than your sister.

We are experts at lattices.

There are swimsuits with fringe on them.

If you try to hide your dirty dishes in the oven, someone will turn it on and melt them.

Jeff doesn't listen and sat in dog poop. Haha!

I act like a five year old in the wave pool at Seven Peaks Resort. It has been mentioned by multiple people that I'm embarrassing to go with.

Freestyle

Today I went rollerblading. This was the first time I have done so in roughly a decade. Although I was rusty things were going well until I fell, in the middle of the University Pkwy intersection, in front of eight lanes of traffic.

Braden, bless his heart, immediately threw himself down next to me so I didn't look like such an idiot. Then we laughed. A lot. Any remaining self respect went out the window when I got home and found this text, "I just passed you... sitting on the road. My first thought was what kind of weirdos park themselves in the middle of an intersection. Then I realized it was you."

PARTY!

School is out and it is summer time! Hallelujah!

"The May Picture." We went to a bonfire and Becca caught marshmallows on fire.

On Sunday we had a chick flick session and painted nails. Jeff joined us to watch the dreamy Austin Ames and enjoyed the movie more than we did.

Sarah celebrated her birthday and we went out to dinner. I hate that these girls moved out of Omni!

Emily got married and was a gorgeous bride.

We drove to SLC and watched a movie in the park. Highlight of the night occurred during a "STEAMROLL" and a mom yelled at Becca and Braden. Priceless.

Clearly I have lots of free time and I'm fun. Let's get together!

Fashion Accessory

Hello! Despite the fact that it has been a month since I last posted, life has been quite uneventful. The only thing of note is that for the next indefinite period I will be rocking this beauty.

That is, until the muscles in my wrist start to atrophy.

Granola

Last week I went to Coyote Gulch on a backpacking trip.

After freaking out, shopping, freaking out, and painting my nails, I was ready to go.

See these giant holes? We climbed there.

This was "the cliff" that dropped 200 feet that we had to climb in and out of.

I thought I might die.

These were my legs when I got home. Don't worry, they hurt worse than they look.

This trip was definitely out of my comfort zone and I'm not sure I ever want to do it again. But, now I can say I have been backpacking. Bam.

Quote of the trip: "I'm going to make that mountain my B." -Lauren

Every Morning

Sugar Ray performed in Provo.

My eleven year old self was proud to be at that concert.

Mark McGrath and I made eye contact. Twice.

Hello April!

While spring isn't exactly here, I did my part to bring in the season with a flash of color.

This was my 3rd slash 4th time attending the Holi Festival of Colors. This year was particularly muddy and poor Dani slipped and fell (multiple times). That, and the llama calling, was a highlight of the afternoon.

Sidenote: To the man who grabbed me and prevented my fall... thank you for saving me.

On the 27th Becca threw a Sunday Dinner Party. We laughed, a lot. This group of people makes me happy.
