March = Madness

In lieu of March Madness I have for you my list of Elite 8 events for the month of March.

8) (Wisdom Teeth Out) – So… over spring break I got the great opportunity to get my wisdom teeth out. It was the first day of the break, and I had been dreading my break just because of this, 10 weeks I worried and asked friends for stories. But my dread was wrongly placed because I was in and out in 20 minutes. There were no problems, no crazy bleeding, no infection, best part of all no swelling. Thus no embarrassing pictures.

7) (DanceSport) – Being home for spring break I got to see my li’l sis dance when I was home for spring break. National DanceSport is my favorite ballroom dance competition. My Courtney danced and did well in all of the ones she danced beating out between 20 and 30 couples before being eliminated themselves. All-be-it the chairs at the Marriott Center messed with my back a bit and being there most of the day for the 3 day event, it got me in trouble with… (cough, cough, wink, wink). Let’s just not get into that right now.

6) (Day on the Beach) – So a few days ago I got the great chance to enjoy the amazing weather we were having in Logan. We found time to play on the “Beach”. The beach is the grassy area separating the actual lawn from Bullen. Almost everyone on my side of the building was out studying and or playing with the football or Frisbee. One day later it snowed.

5) (Packages and Letters) – So this month I got a random call from my Aunt Becky, she needed my address for something. When I finally find out what she sent I was way excited when I found this. But not only did I get a package I got a letter from Elder Gines, my missionary friend in Arcadia, California. I had sent him a letter back in January so it was a really exciting day.

Fun Stuff!!! Thanks Becky

4) (Zombie Weekend) – For an activity for Area Government we decided to prepare our area for Humans Vs Zombies, we decided to throw a mini zombie weekend. We all got together and practiced for the real event. We had target practice, explanations on how to modify guns, tactic sessions and a chance to try all it out on an obstacle course. I got the great chance to create some really gross looking pasta for the obstacle course. And let’s say it looked horrible and was sticky enough to attach it’s self to the wall. The whole weekend was oodles of fun.

3) (Pedicure) – Well spring break and my mom treated me really well, my favorite day was Wednesday. We went to Kneaders for breakfast then went to go see the girl who does my mom’s pedicures. Funnily her name is Nicole too. So we went and I got a pedicure, which was like heaven for my feet. They looked so cute and still do 3 weeks later.

 2) (Modding Gun) – So after zombie week I decided to fix my gun so it could shoot farther. Well I got together with my friends Amberly and Paul. I had been working on my gun for about 20 min before Paul showed up. Then from there we went to the store to get some supplies; namely a drill for Paul’s gun so he could modify his. In the end of things Paul’s gun which required the drill took a total of about 25 min where as my modifying my gun took about 5 hours. Proving yet again that I always do things the hard way.

1) (DanceFest) – I love dance competitions and RHA gets the chance to help out with Utah DanceFest, a dance competition for hip hop, jazz, contemporary, and modern dance. Working with AG we get the chance to work at DanceFest. It was great. I spent almost my whole weekend there as the backstage manager. Which was great, helping the girls on and off the stage and making sure that everything was running smoothly.

So this tops off the elite eight but here are some more honorable mentions that were still great but didn’t make the tops list.

Honorable Mentions

Job Offer. I got offered a slot in the alternates pool for living with USU Housing and come to find out I was on the top of the list.

New Phone

FireHouse with Callie. To help relieve stress Callie and I went to FireHouse Pizza and had a great time. After pizza we went to her apartment and had root beer floats, then went and saw the movie True Grit. It was a great night.

Fire Alarm. So my building has done a great job of not setting off the fire alarm. Well recently it went off 2 days in a row. I was suddenly disappointed.

New Phone. I got a new phone when I went home and it is a great little phone. It does everything I want and need it to. It is so sleek and streamline.

Steps. 

Wardies and Nails. So the night after DanceFest I went and hung out with my friend. We ran into some of our other ward members. We did our nails really cute and watched the Joseph Smith Movie. It was great and a good bonding moment.

20,000 Bouncy Balls. So at USU we have a week for each college and one of the science weeks was this month. In celebration of this week the school had a helicopter come and drop 20,000 bouncy balls from a helicopter. But it was anticlimactic the balls weren’t dropped but dumped which was a little less exciting.

Steps. So to support the efforts in Japan I got Steps braided in my hair. It was real cool and lots of fun.
