Z-ville for life

ok, first things first... I've totally been a slacker on this blog and for that i apologize. but i also know there is only like a total of 3 people that even look at this.
Here are a couple pictures from when i went to see Gerry on my birthday weekend. :) just random and hanging out.




here are some pictures from when Gerry came to visit me at the beginning of July. We went to Cedar Point with my brother and his girlfriend, Chelsea. We went to Kirtland for the church sites. We went to the Y bridge (a Zanesville must) and of course to all the baskets which Gerry got a kick out of. :) enjoy.

ROAD TRIP!

So last weekend I went to California. I had the most amazing time.
I left Friday morning at 6 am. I drove and drove and drove. 9.5 hours later I arrived in Huntington Beach at 2:30 local time. The weather was beautiful, the drive wasn't bad and best of all, one of my best friends was there waiting for me. I was tired but so glad to be there. I met Gerry's family and we talked for a little while. We then went to blockbuster and rented some games and movies. After that we hung around with his younger sisters for a little while. Then Gerry took me out to eat. We went and saw Terminator after that. It was a really good movie.
Saturday I slept in a little, then I was woken up. We chilled around the house for a little while then went to the beach with his sister Jeanette. I LOVE the beach. We boogie boarded, swam, laid in the sun and got fried beyond belief. After 5 hours in the sun we headed back to his house. showered, got cute and then Gerry and I went to meet his friends Daniel and Lindsey. I had met them before. We went to a yummy restaurant then back to Daniel's to watch a movie. Once we got home, Gerry and I stayed up talking for quite a few hours. Then exhausted I fell asleep. Sunday morning I slept in then we went to his Single's Ward at 2. I met a bunch of his friends and even ran into some people that used to live in Columbus. There was also a guy who had served his mission in Zanesville and knew my family! We had dinner with his family and grandparents that afternoon then went to a fireside in Irvine. After that I played Killer Bunnies with some of his friends. We stayed up late talking again and then realized i needed to go to bed so i could drive back the next day. Monday we watched Horton Hears a Who while i finished up some homework. I went to In n Out for a burger since i had never had it, it was yummy, then chilled with Daniel for a little longer. then around 3 i left to drive back to Provo. I arrived in provo in the middle of the night and it was horrible. BUT i had so much fun.
so much fun that i'm going back next weekend. This time i'll take some pictures and i'll put them up here. stay tuned!

Goodbyes

So this week has been a hard one. I have had finals that were quite challenging and i've said good bye to many friends. Thursday I had to say goodbye to Rachel. I took her to the airport at 4:30 am so I could say goodbye. She then flew to Ohio. I've talked to her a lot but it's not the same and I miss her like crazy. She leaves for a study abroad in France tomorrow. :( I am not sure what i am going to do without her!Rachel... I miss you already.

Last night I said goodbye to one of my best friends, Gerry. We haven't known each other for very long but we became close very quickly. I could talk to him about anything and he was always there for me. We spent all of our spare time together and watched A LOT of movies. who am i supposed to watch movies with now?So... basically this post is saying if you want to be my friend let me know because i am running short on them right now...

Hare Krishna

Ok, so there is this festival in Spanish Fork that is called Hare Krishna. it was a couple weeks ago. basically it's a ton of fun and it's a festival of colors. "like crayola, not diversity" to quote a friend. it's how they welcome in spring and it is at a Hindu temple. so cool. I've been wanting to put up pictures but i've been a little lazy, so finally, here you go.
Me and Gerry BEFORE the color throwing.

Me and Gerry AFTER the color throwing

Here is Megan, Joanna, and Rachel. apparently we had a lot of purple and pink to throw.

Here is a glimpse of all the people. it was so crowded and awesome. There was music and they were doing a little chant thing. and there were crowd surfers.

Overall this experience was a blast. I had so much fun that day. I am totally doing it again next year.

Lu'au

So i haven't written here in a little while and a lot has happened! I will start with the Lu'au that Rachel Megan and I were in. We danced for the BYU lu'au the last week in March. it was amazing! Here are some pictures. the green outfits are from the Samoa section while the brown are from tahiti.
This is Rachel's cousin Allison, Me, Rachel, and Megan. We are hawt.

And of course in these scandalous outfits we had to make faces.

Some of my girls from Samoa section!

Our group :) I miss them already :(

This is my favorite picture from that night. i love the quote from Rachel "I seriously love this picture. It's the epitome of us. You trying to be gangster and me yelling about something irrelevant." and it's so true.

Well there was that and i think i will wait to post more pictures later. i have some from Hare Krishna and from when my friend Clint came to visit me. also... i should probably just write something on here. because this isn't a scrapbook. it's a blog... for to be writing on.

St. Patty's Day Party!

I had a St. Patrick's Day Party last night. It was awesome. We had a lot of people come. it was great.
Here is our awesome food table. Cake, peanut butter cookies, chocolate fountain (white chocolate dyed green), chip dip... you know the basics.
Look at what a good time everyone is having! smiling and thumbs up. This is my friend Gerry on the right. and i think on the left is a guy named Travis. i don't really know him.Courtney, me and Camille. We look so good.

All in all Rachel and I threw a rockin party... jealous you weren't there?
