Color Festival

So after living in utah for 7+ years I finally got to got to the Color Festival at the Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple down in Spanish Fork. It was so fun! I love getting dirty, especially when its pretty dirty. My friends Lynsey and Savannah came with and we loved it all, even the walk back to the car.

We started our day by hitting up target and buying white sweatshirts, argyle tube socks, colorful sunglasses, and fanny packs. We really only wanted to get pretty colors of powder thrown on us like pinks and purples but we knew we couldn't be picky. We thought taking the shuttle would be a good idea but it was slow and we missed the start of the festival. By the time we got there they were out of color so we never got to throw it but we sure got hit! We were smart enough to bring a change of clothes so when we got back to the car we cleaned up and then headed to Paradise Bakery. All in all I would say it was a great day and we learned a lot so next year will be even better

For those that dont know what the Color Festival is: In India, Holi announces the arrival of spring and the passing of winter. The festival breathes an atmosphere of social merriment. People bury their hatchets with a warm embrace and throw their worries to the wind. Every nook and corner presents a colorful sight. Young and old alike are covered with colors
The color, noise and entertainment that accompanies the celebration of Holi bears witness to a feeling of oneness and sense of brotherhood. The festival brings home the lesson of spiritual and social harmony!!

This is HILARIOUS

I feel like this could've been left on my very own voicemail. Some guys just never cease to amaze me. Im still laughing at this as I type.


The story is this: a girl was out with friends having drinks on King St (in Toronto). This guy approaches her and won't leave her alone -saying how cute she is. She finally gives in and hands the guy her business card to get rid of him.
The attached is an MP3 file of not one, but TWO voicemails this guy left. This goes down in the history books - especially the second voice mail.

Week days I get to spend hours with these three guys. Im pretty lucky if you ask me

I got to go shopping with my cousins Holly and Kara, and Kara's beautiful baby Lola. Lola was such a good sport and even took a few cat naps. Funny thing is, everytime we walked into a baby store she woke right up! She even picked out a few outfits for herself. She is such a sweet heart and I LOVE LOVE LOVE HER!!!!!!

My Friend Lara had a "pink" birthday celebration so I decided to add some spice to my hair. I kinda like it, do you think I should add pink to my hair?! Mom said I look like an indian
I have been sick and havent had time to do much grocery shopping so my very loving father called "the pie pizzaria" and order my favorite meal. Cheesy pull aparts and a caeser salad. Thank you Daddy, I LOVE YOU!!!

Bowling

My friends and I have a new found love for bowling. Now to me bowling is incredibly fun but if you think about it extremely dirty. I try not to think about how many feet have been inside those shoes or how many dirty fingers have touched that ball...but after going two times a week, my mind always thinks of all the dirt and germs. You may think I am taking this new love and turning it into an obsession, but I dont care. I just ordered my very own pair of pimp bowling shoes. No one will look as good as me out there as I bowl strike after strike! Ok, im not that good, but hopefully once those super sweet bowling shoes of my own get here, my game will start to improve drastically.
Anyone wanna join?!
