I'm a bad bad blogger.






I'm running on the thought of better late than never lately!

Here are some pictures from Finals Week December 2008. It was a busy crazy week. Ryan helped me work on a chair made of nothing but cardboard, glue and some strategically placed screws. (shhh!) For the Critique you have to sit in it; which meant a couple of things 1) A man most definitely created this assignment 2)I was not going to make a flimsy chair.
 Ryan was so sweet to help me, especially since I'm difficult to be around when I am having an artistic vision. After 20 or so hours spent on the chair I had to just take a deep breath and say "oh well". I would do many things differently next time I decide to build a cardboard chair... if that ever happens. 
Last day of finals I took some time out of a stress-fest to have a pedicure with Shelly-bean. We were absolutely crazy because it was snowing like a maniac. And so we ended up running around with freezing little toes. 
Ryan's family picked me up from school and we went straight to Las Vegas. I would honestly never choose to do that ever ever ever again. By the end of the day I was ready to kill over. ahhhh....memories.

Viva Las Vegas...






Las Vegas! What a classy place... This was my first trip to Vegas since I was about 12 years old. We went with Ryan's parents to watch BYU play in the Las Vegas Bowl.
Our first day we drove past the Sexxpresso Coffee Shop and I HAD to take a picture because it looked like such an up-scale establishment. On Friday night we went to Fremont Street, and there were millions of Santa's standing around waiting for something to happen. Naturally I picked my two favorite and asked them for a picture.  They were very drunk and also very nice.
After riding the New York New York Rollercoaster TWICE, we visited the M&M factory and the Coke factory. I really enjoyed both, but my favorite part was getting my picture with the coke bear. Shortly after that picture was taken, he gave me a big kiss. If you didn't know-- I love diet coke more than I should, which enhanced the entire experience for me. Ryan on the other hand didn't find it quite as exciting. 
We went and walked through the gardens at the Belagio one night, how AMAZING! There were life-size reindeer made completely of almonds. Giant mirrors that made up gigantic gifts, and abominable sized snowmen made from Candy and Flowers alone. I was very impressed, since I just took 3D design, and found it extremely difficult to do even small projects. 
We went to watch BYU play which was very disappointing. I don't really care for them anyhow, but even I was bummed at what a poor showing they had; mainly because it makes Ryan grumpy when they loose. 
Last but not least we stopped in Mesquite on our way home, to visit Grandma Dorothy and Grandpa Harvey. It was really fun to see them, and catch up. 
Viva Las Vegas.

It's An Amazing Day


This is US! Thanks to Shelly, we have now entered into the blogging world. How amazing! 
We can't wait to share our lives with you via the world wide web, but it HAS to wait at least until finals are over!
