I love not being in school anymore and with this warm weather coming, I just can't seem to stay at home. In February my best friend Cyann had a baby so me and my best friend Mindy rented a car (because we can now without those ridiculous fees!) and drove to New Mexico to visit her. It was perfect! More details here.
Also in February I got braces. You can see them if you look closely. I only have to wear them for a year! (hopefully) I can't wait to get them off, but so happy with the results so far after only 3 months!
In March I took my brother Garrett to Las Vegas and let him drive!...(scary!) but it wasn't too bad, he's a pretty good driver. Sorry most of these pictures suck, we forgot a camera so we bought a disposable one, and most of them didn't turn out. I feel so old because I remember the days when that is all you had.
Driving through the boring part. haha
We stopped at Parawan gap. If you look real closely you can see writings on the rocks.
Apparently these rocks may have been used as a sundial by ancient native americans.
While in vegas we did mostly the free things, like explore M&M world and go in all the cool buildings.
and the bellagio fountains
and flamingos!
But I did spend a little money, we went to the top of the fake Eiffel tower!
Birds eye view of the fountains from the tower.
I love this kid! Happy 17th Birthday!!!
(we may or may not go again when you are 21 and we may or may not gamble hee hee.)
Last week Mindy and I went camping in Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. I didn't take pictures, but she did, maybe she'll post about it and I'll provide a link.
Mostly, there were buffalo EVERYWHERE!!! (oh and stupid drivers that were so amazed at the bison that when they finally did get out of the road, they wouldn't move their freaking cars) We also saw 5 bears. one was like 20 feet away off the side of the road! scary! especially because Mindy brought along a book called something like "How To Die in Yellowstone" that tells about all the ways stupid people have died due to bears, bison, moose, swimming in hot springs, lightening, etc. But we are still alive! yay!
Did you know that this picture was taken in the Tetons? So BEAUTIFUL!!!! Now if only I could take a picture like that. But we did go to this very spot. When I see something like this, it just takes my breath away. God loves us! There just is no question about that!I love nature! I guess I should be better about taking pictures. I'm too perfectionist and I get upset when I can't take cool pictures, and because I'm not very photogenic. Maybe I should take a photography class (and buy a camera). Speaking of classes, on Friday my roommate Elisabeth and I took a Cuban cooking class at our neighborhood Harmon's of City Creek. Super delicious! One day soon we'll have a Cuban party and cook it all. Yesterday I went to Lagoon with Mindy, Lynsie and Chelsey. Yay for having friends! And that's 3 months in a nutshell.
