Living the Dream

Its been a while since I've posted on the blog so I though I'd get you all caught up on this crazy life I'm living. It's actually more for my sake than yours because I use these posts for my journal. Since knocking down the parking sign (which was the last time I remember posting)

I went to Vegas with a group of friends,

went to my first NBA game,
fell in love with my new roommate, had the best Easter since the year Justin got caught nailing Brett in the head with an egg, (picture taken at the release of our Easter egg hunt) became an expert hula hooper, and attended The Festival of Colors. As you may have noticed, my friend Lauren and I got REALLY into the spirit of things. When we arrived we walked into the temple, which had been transformed into this Hindu version of DI, and we just had to get some outfits. And whats an outfit without a jewel for your forehead and some face paint? Our ensembles did not go unappreciated...my friend found that first picture of us on the event's website the next day. I'm not sure if any of you have heard of The Festival of Colors but it is SO rad. Its at a Hindu temple in Spanish Fork and basically what happens is there are performers for the first couple hours and then they stop the show, light a witch manikin thing on fire and then signal everyone to start throwing their chalk at each other. The third picture was taken right after the chalk throwing started, I'm the suffocating smurf on the right. I was tempted to post more pictures so you could see just how chaotic the whole event was, but I'll spare you seeing as I already have 9.

The point is guys, I'm living the dream and I'm doing my best not to take it for granted. Sometimes when I get overwhelmed with midterms or finals I start wishing college away but then there are times like these to remind me of just how good I have it.
