Fraud At It's Finest

Miss Ally Boo and I decided to pull a mediocre prank on Mr. Alex from apartment 11 (the men in our complex that we continually harass). Ally had this little gem of a fake parking ticket, which we placed blatantly underneath the windshield of Alex's truck. Here's our plan.
1. He sees the note from a distance.
2. He pees his pants.
3. He runs to the note and reads it.
4. Realizes the note is fake.
5. His day is made. 
And that my friends, is how you give away fake parking tickets correctly.

Malawi's Pizza

This place is yuuuuummmmm. 
Jake and I got:
-Spinach PizZA
-mEaTLovErs PiZza
-ApPLe cRuMbLe pIzZA
-WHiTe pEaCh sOdA
-vAniLLa CrEaM Soda
It was DELICIOUS! Plus they have this whole jungle theme going on inside. Super classy. Oh and the bathrooms.....GORGEOUS! You wouldn't think that a bathroom could be but I'm serious. I would pay money to use this bathroom. Marble countertops, mini chandeliers, great color scheme, it has a completely different feel than the rest of the restaurant yet it doesn't feel out of place. Weird. Would I recommend this joint? 
OH to the YEAH to the BABY.

I Love To See The Temple

One of my goals for this Semester has been to attend the Temple once a week. As I have stuck to this goal, I have seen the blessings FLOOD into my life. 
THIS IS THE HOUSE OF THE LORD!
I am so grateful to live in a town so close to so many Temples! This is a blessing that I will not take for granted. 
There is no better way to start a day. :)

Let The Guessing Begin

This Past General Conference, I prepared a list of question to be answered. First on the list, was.....
"Should I begin preparing to serve a Mission when I turn 21?"
Saturday morning, I knelt down and prayed in my bedroom asking this very question, right before the start of the first session.
By the time I finished my prayer President Monson was already on the screen, exclaiming that he had an announcement. He then proceeded to tell us that the ages for serving missions in the church were now changed to 18 versus 19 for Men and 19 versus 21 for Women. 
WHAAAAAAAAATTTTTT????!!!!!!!
I was expecting such a direct response to my prayer. Yet it came. I did not want to jump to any conclusions, I still wasn't throughly convinced that a mission was for me. I determined that I would listen intently through out the rest of the sessions and then make my decision. 
I attended the Sunday Morning Session at the Conference Center in Salt Lake. For the Intermediate Hymn we all stood up and sang "Called To Serve". 
That's when I knew. 
I have put in my Mission papers and I am eagerly awaiting my call! The gospel of Jesus Christ is the JOY of my heart and my SOUL! I feel incredibly blessed to know of it's truthfulness. Nothing could be more fulfilling than sharing this joy and happiness with others. I could not be more excited for this opportunity!!! So excited that I went and bought a map of the World today just for fun.
Let the guessing begin!

Zombie Apocalypse Run

 It's the ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!!!
Not really.....but it was fun pretending for this 5K!
It all went down in the Provo Canyon where we all got numbers and two flags to attach to our body. Some runners signed up as Zombies, and other just as Runners. 
When the starting bell rang the runners took off and passed all of the "Zombies" in a cage along the trail. About three or four minutes after the initial bell rang, a second bell rang releasing the Zombies.
The goal was to make it to the end without getting "bitten" by the Zombies (having them pull off your flag).
I am happy to say that WE ALL MADE IT SAFELY TO THE FINISH LINE!! 
Well...all of us except for Jake. But that was only because he was antagonizing the Zombies while "protecting" Jessica and I. Basically he asked for it. 
I'm surprised he we didn't go home with a battery charge. He was charging people, slapping their hands away when they were trying to grab our flags while making animal noises....we don't really know what got in to him. 
Maybe it was the HUMONGOUS burritos full of potatoes that I bought us for dinner right before the race....in my defense I didn't realize how late it was. 
That was most definitely one of the worst ideas I've ever had. 
Overall it was a great run!!
We even got free t-shirts saying whether we were Infected or Survivors! Two thumbs up for 5k's!!! Five million thumbs down to eating a burrito full of steak and potatoes right before them.

A Self-Proclaimed Rave

Miss Nico Bori Bo is turning 20!!
We decided to throw her our own mini self-proclaimed Rave....surprisingly it didn't turn out too shabby! We removed all our furniture, covered the walls with plastic, wrote on the plastic with glow in the dark paint and splattered paint with glow sticks. We had glow sticks for everyone to wear, drinks, and a glow in the dark cake. 
She was shocked! But, more importantly she had a blast! Besides the homemade bomb that someone set off...things didn't get too out of hand. Yet another successful surprise party.
I should really start charging for these things.
