Oh chick flicks

Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE chick flicks. The sappy-ness makes me happy, and pretty much I'm always in the mood for a good one. I watched the movie "He's just not that into you" last year and I really did like it. Not your typical chick flick, but good none the less. Today at work, my friends showed me this video called, "10 chick flick cliches you will not find in 'He's just not that into you'". It's utterly fantastic and I felt I should share it with the world. Every single cliche is soooo true. Enjoy!

Photo Shoot

We decided to take Marketing Family pictures for Christmas. Here is just a taste of the awesomeness. I am amazed we could all sort of pull of the serious look. Do you think I should become a model? I tried to "smize" like Tyra tells all of the top models...smiling with your eyes...

Jerusalem Homesickness

It has been 2 years and I still get homesick for Jerusalem. Incredible, but true. I would go home any day of the week if I could. Any single day of my life. So if anyone wants to pay for me to go back, I promise that I will accept gracefully :) Click here for the video made for our semester by my friend Tim. It's the best place in the whole world. I will always cherish those memories, and hopefully one day I will be able to go and visit again!

My love affair

With Musicals.

Every time I go to a good musical I remember again how much I absolutely LOVE seeing them. There is nothing better than fun, beautiful, and touching music to make a play even better.
In the last month I have seen 2 amazing shows, both at Hale Theater. The first was "110 in the Shade" at the Orem Hale Theater with Audra McDonald.

This woman is an incredible performer. The entire show I was just watching in awe at how focused and yet effortless her performance really was. I tried the whole time to just observe and try to learn how I could be better in my performing skills. If I was half as talented as she was, I would be seriously set for life. The show was extremely well done, also featuring the father from "Saturday's Warrior". Surprisingly, he was my 2nd favorite actor after Audra. Who knew beneath all that cheese there was an actually good actor?

The 2nd Show I saw was "The Wedding Singer" at Hale Theater in Salt Lake and it was one of the most fun shows that I have ever seen.

The 2 leads were absolutely incredible. It's shows like this that make me want to be in shows all the time! One day, I'll make it happen :)

Bose

Today I was at the Park City Outlets and I was able to go in and see a BOSE demonstration. I was amazed at the technology. I now think I will never be satisfied with anything else ever again. I entered to win a system and I really hope that I win!! Now that I know what sound can be, the question is, can I ever be fully satisfied with normal movie or music sound?

It's that time again...

The time of year I decide to blog. I was talking with Annie now Weiderhold yesterday, and she made me feel guilty for never blogging, so here it is.

I wish I had adventures and stories to tell you all from the last few months of Spring Semester here in Provo, UT, but unfortunately all I have had time for is class and work. I have spent a majority of my life lately in a lab full of dead people, so, I will be telling you some of my favorite anatomy terms and also some interesting facts that I have learned!

• Sunscreen does not actually help prevent skin cancer, it only prevents burning


• When rubbing a baby's stomach, make sure to start on the right side and go left, otherwise you may cause them stomach pain

FREE HUGS!

Two years ago, April Conference 2008, I was a young Freshman just going with my roommates to the Sunday morning session of Conference. We left the Conference Center to see a group of people with Free Hug signs. We took a picture with one and it was way fun.





We put the picture up on Facebook for all to see, and lo and behold, "Free Hug Man" and I had a common friend that tagged him in our picture. He made us his profile picture and then proceeded to add us as friends on Facebook.

A year passed, and April Conference 2009 came. As we left the Sunday morning session of Conference yet again, we saw the exact same Free Hug Man!! We went up to him, he remembered us, and we took another epic picture.




This last summer we started to chat with him more, and now we've actually become pretty good friends with the Free Hug Man, aka Jordan Bailey, and so this year he told us that we should try Free Hugging in between Conference sessions. I was personally very skeptical but Vanessa felt like we should go since he had invited us.

After the morning session of Conference we met up with Jordan and his friends and they handed us some Free Hug signs. We started yelling "Free Hugs" at everyone who passed, and surprisingly, it was such a fun experience!!!


People LOVED Free Hugs!! We were hugging old people, young people, college age kids, and a lot of people from different countries. People thanked us for being there and for just being happy! They also gave us free cookies, free lunchables, and free conference tickets for the next session. Vanessa and I went back to the house, but it's awesome that we could have gotten a ticket so easily!



I'm glad we met Jordan 2 years ago while he was doing this, and I'm glad we finally got to be a part of it!


A hug delights and warms and charms, that must be why God gave us arms! -Author Unknown
