Latest and Greatest

So I haven't updated in awhile, but lots has been going on in my life. Work has finally slowed down and the countdown to when I quit is in full force! Of course, I haven't decided what I want to do with my life AFTER I quit... but that will work itself out. So for all of you that know me, and know how many clothes I have, you'll be happy to know that I had a garage sale a month ago and literally got rid of 1/3 of my closet! (Yes, that means, I still have a ton of clothes, but not as many) The ridiculous part is that as I was going through my closet I was finding clothes that I wore Freshman year of college... so like 6 years ago. Even worse I think there were a few items that were from high school. Yes, high school. Thats just ridiculous. First of all, I don't even wear them so I have no idea why I still have them. Then there was the whole section of "someday I'll fit in these again", I finally came to terms with the fact that not only might I never fit in them again but even if I could they aren't in style anymore anyway!! So as you can see from the picture, it was quite the garage sale. Sadly you can't tell from this picture but there are piles of clothes on the ground that you can't even see. I told you... RIDICULOUS. But it felt good to get rid of a lot of stuff and since then, I havne't gone shopping at all. These are big steps for me!

After the garage sale we had a bonfire on the beach for Lezlie (farthest left in pic) because she moved back to Utah. I miss Lezlie and am still sad that she left us... but I'm excited for her new adventures in Utah. BTW, it was FREEZING that night on the beach... but still so much fun.

For conference I went to Park City to try to get in a couple more times on the mountain. I didn't expect the snow to be that great because It's April. But there was actually a HUGE storm that weekend. It was AMAZING! There was so much snow! It snowed like 2 feet on Monday. The picture gives some depiction of the amount of powder. I went to PC on Sat, and it was pretty good, but Monday I went to Canyons with Kristen and the snow was amazing! Thiegh deep powder at some points! Our legs were dead from boarding through all of it. We had fresh tracks the entire way down. It was a great way to end the season!

This Pic shows the crazy amount of snow outside my Park City condo! And it kept dumping ALL DAY! So this is just the early morning shot! Besides that the weekend was great having friends up to hang out and watch conference. Lauren made an amazing breakfast and it was great having a bunch of friends up to hang out.

Since Utah I've had lots of fun adventures.... weekend in SD, beach time, Magic Mountain (which is sooo amazing, I LOVE the rollar coasters!), the Getty Museum (really cool up in LA), amazing Sushi and Thai food, lots of frozen yogurt, walks on the beach, and much more. Life is great. Finally, the last thing i've seemed to be reminded again lately is

The minute you try to plan you life and think you have it all figured out, something comes along to change everything!

But, I guess that's what keeps life exciting!

I LOVE MARCH MADDNESS

I have been meaning to write for awhile, but alas, work has been busy and other things have been occupying my time. But I wanted to share my excitement/obsession with the NCAA tournament currently going on. The following are reasons why this time of the year is so great. (And no, I'm not kidding...)

1. The NCAA tournament is one of the greatest sporting events, lasting 3 weeks!

2. I love college sports... they play with SO MUCH MORE HEART than the NBA players

3. The same team isn't always the best year after year, kids graduate, teams change.

4. Any team can win, there are always so many upsets with makes it SO EXCITING!

5. "The Dance" (aka the first 2 days of the tournament) is the greatest 2 days of sports...16 games on each day... which means total unproductively at work

6. On Demand plays all the games online! Meaning while working you can have half your screen work and the other half a BBall game ALL DAY LONG! (good think I'm good at multi-tasking)

7. Filling out a bracket with friends/coworkers provides entertainment, topic of conversation and lots of trash talking! (Yes I have 4 brackets) and am currently in 3rd place in one..

As most know, I love sports, and the NCAA tournament is up there as my favorite. This Sat is a big day being the Final Four and all... and of course I'm looking forward to it!

Even though BYU sadly lost YET AGAIN in the first round of the tournament... they played in Anaheim which was great because a group of us went to the game! Our seats were actually WAY up high (like 2nd row from the top) but we snuck down at the beginning of the game and ending up sitting 2nd row behind the press the entire game!! It was amazing to be so close and was so much fun! (Even though we lost) My friends were doing a good job of taunting the other team but BYU played so bad the first half of the game... So bad that my brother even sent me a gchat during the 1st half telling me "to do something to distract Texas A&M! Anything! Show them your boobs! BYU needs help!" Yes... it was desperate times... considering my older brother was telling me to flash Texas A&M. Since I wanted to stay and watch the whole game I kept my shirt on... I guess I'm not a true BYU fan... Maybe next year BYU will make it past round one... MAYBE.
