Aggies kickin some Ute trash!


Last Friday I went to the hockey game against U of U. It was awesome!! Definitely the coolest game I have EVER been too! Whew! Hockey has got to be the greatest sport in the entire world! During that game alone there were at least three huge fights that broke out. One of them was a pretty bloody fight too! This guys face was all torn up. During the game four Utes and two Aggies got kicked out of the building for violence! I have seen plenty of penalty boxes, but never kicked out of the game! It was absolutely ridiculous! The final score was 13 to 2! We totally kicked trash! .... unfortunately we weren't as lucky at the football game... but that is just too depressing to talk about. *sigh*

Do You Hear The People Sing?


This past weekend my mom surprised me with a trip to St. George to see Les Miserables for my birthday. It was such a fun weekend! We drove down on Friday, listening to show tunes the entire way of course. We checked into our hotel, which was freaking sweet! I got my own bed and four pillows all to myself! Woo! We went shopping - I got some new clothes and three new books which I am so incredibly stoked about! (Read The Host, its awesome!) After shopping we went to this little hawaiian grill restraunt that was delicous! I got this salad with pineapple chuncks, almonds, and grapes in it! Yummy!!! After dinner we went to the movie "House Bunny" - pretty funny, but maybe a little too dirty for my taste!
Then on Saturday we slept in, I ran to McDonalds in my pajama's before they stopped serving breakfast, and we layed by the pool. I think I wasn't turned directly towards the sun because only one side of me got burned, kinda funny, kinda sad at the same time! ha haThere were a bunch of cousins in the pool that were incredibly loud so we didn't stay too long, but long enough for me to feel the burn! We went back to our hotel to get ready for the big show, and it started raining SO HARD! We were both freaking out that the show was going to be cancelled because its at an outdoor theater - like seriously! - When I saw the rain and lightning my heart fell out my butt! No joke! We drove to the theater in the down pouring rain, ate dinner and watched it rain, finished dinner - still raining! But then, at the last minute, the clouds parted and the sun came out! It was a miracle!! (Praying about the weather works wonders!) The show will go on! Whew! As we were waiting for them to open the doors we were people watching. We played the "shoe game" and "Do the couples go together". Judging people is wrong, but it sure can be funny sometimes! ha ha Anyway, we had pretty decent seats, even if my mom didn't think so. ;) Les Miserables is the most amazing musical of all time! It was incredible!! The music hits your heart with so much force! The cast did an amazing job! Jean ValJean was the only one that I didn't really like the voice, but everyone else was superb! There were fireworks and a real cannon during the war scene. They had the soldiers posted on the mountain side behind the stage! It was breathtaking! They even had a horse, a sheep, and a pig in some of the scenes. I loved watching this amazing show outside under the stars, I don't think I have ever experienced anything quite like it! It was such a great weekend!
