I like t.v. shows :)

 How I met your mother is a feel good show about a group of friends and their friend Ted trying to find his soul-mate.  Their friendship makes you feel like you are a part of it... I can't get enough of it!!

 LOST!!! This tv show is about an island mystery.  These people crash landed on an island in the middle of nowhere and have no way of getting back to civilization.  This show has a way of leaving you on the edge of your seat at the end of each episode... if you have netflix you find yourself watching 3 episodes at a time (did I mention each episode is about an hour?).  The cliff hangers are what make this show so great.

 You just have to watch this.  The episodes are only 20 minutes but they are SO FUNNY!! I love the way they portray modern families... its great!

 I just recently started watching New Girl, it just finished it's first season and it was really good.  It's about this spunky odd ball Jess who lives with 3 men.  I really enjoy this comedy, I feel like I can relate to Jess's awkward weirdness.

 PLL, this is my teenager show.  I love to watch this with my girls.  I started it with my roommate Billi (she got me addicted), we'd HDMI-it up to the t.v. every Monday as soon as it was on ABC Family a week after it airs.  Now... I watch it with Alexa.  Let's be honest, you need a girlfriend to watch this with, we scrapbook and make food and enjoy some good ol' suspense and drama.  It's like the teenager version of desperate housewives.  P.S. these girls do NOT look like they are supposed to be in high school.

 Caleb got me started on this show.... I. love. it. so. freakin. much!  Holy shiz this show blows your mind!! I love the action, I love the zombies, I love the drama.  Andrea & Daryl are probably my most favorite characters on this show, they are BA.  I can't wait until October to watch it again, I really want to know whats the deal with the prison and the crazy hooded figure with zombies for pets! I'm also anticipating the death of Lori (who I hate), and the return of Daryl's brother.  I really want to know exactly how this zombie apocalypse came about.

Season 3 finale... I just finished it last night.  I am getting way to sucked in to this tv show.  My current roommates met Damon!! How crazy is that?  His name is Ian Somerhaulder and he is GORGEOUS!! I really want Elena to choose him... she actually met him first, just sayin'.

Classic.  I've been watching this since I was 17.  I can never have enough of That '70s Show.  That '70s show is to me like Friends is to the rest of the world.  It's probably not the best influence because I just want to go smoke pot with them in their circle haha :)  I love love love this show.

#1 Daddy

My dad is the greatest daddy in the whole entire world.  For anyone who knows my dad you know that he LOVES music, he loves going to concerts and I think that is super cool.  I have had the opportunity to go to a few with him in the past couple of years, we've gone to: Trapt, 3 Doors Down, Pop Evil, Theory of a Deadman, and last Saturday... we went to Vans Warped Tour 2012!!  It was so fun :)

I got to see We The Kings, Senses Fail, Yellowcard (I bought their CD, t-shirt, & bracelet), I saw Breathe Carolina, Falling in Reverse & All Time Low as well as a band called Funeral Party. 

Here is Sade crowd surfing at Warped Tour! 

Dad, Sade & I slurping our delicious smoothies that we were really sad when they were gone :'(

I came home this week and my car overheated, guess who came to save me? My daddy.  He is my hero.  Little did I know that this week was his vacation and he installed a new thermostat in my car which would normally cost $75 or more. He also renovated and re-built my brothers closet and took my sisters to 7-peaks (I joined until I had to go to work).  He is the greatest dad :) He is always fixing things around the house, and believe me, stuff around our house breaks pretty often... I mean our house is only like a hundred years old, no big deal.  He always cooks us delicious meals but I think his menu is pretty limited to hot dogs, enchiladas, scones, pancakes, & hamburger helper... he is basically pro at all of those meals now!  

7 peaks bay-bay!! :D 

A little more info about pretty much thee coolest dad in the universe is that he loves the Pittsburg Steelers (we were pretty bummed when the Green Bay cheese heads defeated them 2 superbowls ago).   He loves to go snowboarding with Sade, Aubri & I up Fairview canyon.  I have a pretty legit dad, he introduced me to some great music, like Angels and Airwaves... I love them.  Nirvana, Fleetwood Mac, The Cars... some of the classic 80s music I love so much is because of my dad.  

I always tease my dad that he is gothic, he wears a lot of black and he loves t-shirts that are pretty emo with skulls and stuff on them.  He used to have my Grandpa Don Ray's motorcycle and would look pretty legit in his leather jacket and bald head... many a boy in my day has been afraid of my dad, as well as ward members... just people in general, but really, he is just a big teddy bear.  My dad is the greatest and I love him very much.

 Don't let your past determine your present!! 

Sometimes I feel self-conscious and not good enough but then I remember that I am a daughter of God and I feel beautiful and of great worth.  I am so thankful to be a part of his plan.

Street Art

I felt inclined to post on my blog about street art because I love it.  First of all, if you find street art interesting, you MUST watch a documentary entitled "Exit through the gift shop".  This show is the greatest documentary featuring street artists such as Banksy, Shepard Fairey & dummy face Mr. Brainwash.

Banksy

Andre the Giant by Shepard Fairey

Life is Beautiful by Mr. Brainwash

I feel really passionate about street art, I love the message something visual can send, I have several favorite pieces of art by these street artists.  While living in L.A. with my Aunt, I started to have an eye for street art... I would love to share some of the things I saw there.

There is so much more I'd love to share but I'll save it for another blog! Street art like this inspires me to make inspirational and visually interesting graphic design stuff... I hope that I can someday be as good as them!! :D <3

Yogurtland = never ever gonna be skinny land

I pretty much love Yogurtland!  Now it is in UTAH!! Alexa and I went to yogurtland last week and it was de-lish! Yogurtland and Zions Bank love me so much that they gave me $0.31 back for using my debit card there!! It's yummy and economically compatible :D

One of my favorite flavors is tart frozen yogurt with fruit in it :) I love the picture to the left because you can see my converse in the corner.

I don't know what else to say about yogurtland except if you haven't been there... you haven't lived.

I love my roomies!!

                                                 I unlocked my phone the other day to this lovely background gazing at me :D Let me introduce you to Alexa Brooke Schmidt, she's a grade A quality person, and a super fun person to be around.  I can vouch for all of my roommates that we love her to death.

This is Abi and Alexa being super weird right before this boy  I was supposed to meet came over.  We were talking about all the weird things we could be doing when they got there.  Apparently standing on the t.v. stand and hiding inside a lampshade are normal things to do when boys come over :P 

I honestly don't know what to say about this picture.  Becca, our neighbor is a wanna be F 307, because, let's face it... we're kind of a big deal.  Anyways, Becca is always over at our apartment and we love it!! She's a very lively girl that you feel you can INSTANTLY be friends with.  The only thing I can really say about this picture is that they are revolutionizing the work out ball to be a two person yoga-like activity! Side note:  Just seconds before this photo was taken someone threw the work out ball, I think it was Alexa, and almost MURDERED our boy fish named Fredrica! It was horrific but he survived! 

Prom with the bro

Last Friday I skipped my Ethics and Values class and drove home to good ol' Sanpete to see my little brother at prom!  So weird to me!  I remember when he was just my annoying little brother.  This boy and me have grown really close and I hope it will always be that way!  I love him so very much and I am so proud of him.  His date Marren looked stunning in her pretty blue dress and I almost cried watching Sade and my Mom dance together (I am too young to sound like a Mom already!)  Caleb and I ate at the new Malia's Mex Restaurant that he thought was called Omelias, I did my laundry, then I came back to Orem so I could work at 6 in the morning! I also want to add a side note that Sanpete cops are so anal, I got pulled over at like 10:30 on my way out of town because he told me I needed a new light for my license plate!! Honestly, in Orem my car wasn't registered for at least 4 months and I didn't get pulled over!!  And that's all!
