festival of colors.

This past Saturday my roommates and I decided to go to Spanish Fork to go to the Festival of Colors along with the whole rest of the state of Utah I swear. Anyways It was a celebration at a Buddhist temple where they danced, had a bonfire, and best of all threw colored chalk EVERYWHERE!
As the chalk was being thrown you couldn't breath for about 45 seconds and couldn't see anything but a cloud of color. A bit scary I'll admit, but worth it :) I think the best part of the whole day was that the color dye stained the three blonds in the apartment, not. Shannon, Erin, and I all washed our hair a billion and a half times and still are all sportin the pink hair strong. All and all though it was a good day :) finished off by crepes, frozen bananas in chocolate, and then dragging our mattresses out to the living room to have a slumber party.

My sister Aubrey tagged me in this and I feel a bit inadequate considering that half her list was bolded and probably only about 2 will be bolded on my list. I can't do her list justice. Anyways I thought it'd be worth a try to pass some time while I was bored...

megan, mckenzie, and jill + dates and boys = me, shannon, and erin alone + m.j. and thriller....



...


as the other three were on their dates we were bored. we watched michael jackson, of course. got scared but liked the thriller dance. learned the thriller dance. became zombies. turned the lights all down low.... and when the three walked in we busted out in michael jacksons thriller dance much to their surprise. i think they enjoyed it thoroughly.

my roommates..

I've met all of my best friends that I'll ever need...
I am so lucky to have gotten such good roommates! They are a little weird and crazy sometimes... ha but hey that just means I fit in too. I live with 5 other girls, Megan, Shannon, Erin, McKenzie, and Jill. Let's just say they are probably the coolest people ever. I'm sad that I didn't start this blogging business before hand to record all of the "cool" things we have done. I still could but hey I'll admit I am a little lazy and don't wanna play catch up but just would rather start from this point on :)
Megan.. where to start.. I can laugh so much when I am with Megan. She reminds me of my twin basically. I can tell her anything and she is always there to listen to me and give me her "wise" advice. I don't think I ever get sick of her. Shannon.. is possibly the nicest and sweetest girl I know. I love when she writes me little notes just to say thank you or hi. She is always thinking of others and serving them. Erin.. man is she crazy. I always can count on erin to have a good time. She knows how to lighten the mood and likes to wrestle with anyone anywhere... awkward haha. McKenzie.. I like my nice little friend McKenzie. I don't know how she does it but she is always happy and has a good attitude, she might need to teach me a thing or two. She is super easy to talk to and to get along with. Jillian.. two words- balance and chill. Sometimes I wonder if Jill is in school haha. She is always so relaxed and loves to socialize yet she somehow throws school in there too. Jill gets all of us out and doing stuff when the rest of us want to be homebodies. She has lots... of friends but is willing to share them with us. how kind. B-Money.. wait a minute, he's not on the list... i just wish he was my roommate because he is the idol of provo, utah...
Even though all of these girls have different qualities and personalities we all get along well and have a good time. I couldn't have asked for anything more! I'm glad I didn't end up with some psycho's, well Megan has her days ;), but I am lucky to be able to feel excited to go home to my apartment and enjoy being there!
