AUGUST:
Aggie Blue Fall Leadership with my CFBF (co-facilitator best friend) Ang
Aggie Blue games on the quad
SEPTEMBER:
Homecoming street painting with Erin and Brit
Picture at the Pike house after the 80's dance. Stretchy lavender shorts, tube socks, Vans
and a nice blue, cheetah print clip in rat tail made the ensomb real nice.
Plus, shutter Akon shades.
Rachel and I were the chair for the Mr. USU pageant this year. The theme was
"I can go the distance", so keeping with that, our two MC's/ hero trainers/saders
were Bret and Eric. We spent many a all nighter getting those furry pants ready.
Our wonderful contestants...
White out dance on the quad
OCTOBER:
Ah....the HOWL. The largest college Halloween party in the western United States, and probably
the country. Getting to be one of the four in charge of it was amazing! We did a creepy twist
on Alice in Wonderland and it was bomb. My co chairs and Josh were wonderful. It was the biggest
turn out Utah State has EVER had, and was the most profitable event. Halla.
I once had steps in my hair. And got stuck in this recycling receptacle...
The crowd of 6,000...mean Brady had to come out a few times due to people being utter fools.
I am not sure why, but when people get in a large group their IQ drops significantly...
NOVEMBER:
NACA! One of my favorite events of the year. The ten of us went to Portland for an activities and
entertainment showcase and booking convention. Basically we sat through performances all day,
booked acts to come to USU and explored Portland. I fell in love, and want to move back there one day.
I love this city.
Also at NACA I was hypnotized. Currently in this photo I am Brittany Spears.
The likeness is almost disturbing...
The Tiny House Project. Its hell on earth that all sophomores in the Interior Design program must
go through. The words Tiny House invoke fear and respect to most the student body on campus
as the project has gained notoriety. 1,000 sq.ft. house, built to scale, out of foam core. Plus
all the presentation drawings, floorplans, 3D views and construction documents. It was my life.
This was my room about 3 days into it. Sunday to Thursday was solely devoted to Tiny. Monday to
Wednesday blurred into one day as I went with no sleep nor left my room; except for a 4 am trip
to the 24 hour Aggie Mart for a Rockstar and Almond Joys.
One fine Monday evening in the wee hours I became careless with my x-acto blade and
sliced myself real good. Luckily they didnt have to rip my fingernail off to give me my stitches...
Post stitches, with my 'dressing' on my finger. It was big.
Despite the hell I went through, I can honestly say that I have never worked so hard on a
project and have been more proud afterward. I produced something that even amazed myself, which
is rare considering how hard I am on myself. Its my perfectionist mentality.
She turned out absolutely beautiful. It was a love hate relationship, but I do love her.
Let me introduce you to my beautiful cousin Stephanie. We are the same age and have been so close
our whole lives. In November she left on a mission to Taiwan. She is rockin it as a sister missionary.
My brother and his wife went to BYU and are now graduating. This year my brothers rotating season
tickets so happened to land on the front row of the north end zone for the BYU vs. UofU game. Naturally we took advantage of that. This picture was actually taken by the Deseret News. It was neat.
DECEMBER:
Home I went for Christmas break. This was when we made a candy train. I also worked again at
the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, a former employer. Its real busy in December.
New bed spread from Z Gallery. Regularly $350, I paid $80.
The tragedy of Christmas break....selling AC, AKA Adventure Car. This little phily was my graduation
present my senior year. We turned him into a gorgeous off roading machine, taking many a
memorable trips with family to Moab. I loved this jeep. It was part of my identity. It was sold to a nice
man in Riverton, and I got a white 2003 Alero. Downgrade for sure. It does get great gas mileage though....
JANUARY:
back to school....
My wonderful peeps from Hampton Ridge. This was prior to the USU vs BYU
basketball game which we dominated. People were camped outside for a few days prior, and
as it was over 400 students didnt get in. Aggie basketball...ugh. Its a blessing from on high.
Yes, we wanted to try cross country skiing. So we did up Green Canyon. Hilarious and eventful.
Sometimes I paint. This was a gift for my friend Rachel, and I LOVED it.
FEBRUARY:
My little bro and I had some real nice ski days this winter at Snowbird and the Beav...
Ah, Mardi Gras. How I loved you. Why did I end up chairing the universities four largest
events in one year? Dont ask me, it just happened. It was insanity to do that to myself, but was so
amazing. Mardi Gras also brought in record numbers and profit. Pretty proud...
I adore these people. They are amazing.
USU has the best students in the world. Nothing would happen without amazing volunteers....
MARCH:
SPRING BREAK!! 12 of us snagged a beach house in Mission Beach, San Diego for eight days
and it was the best trip ever. 84 degrees, the beach, sand volleyball, beach cruisers, Maui Babe, the best
chicken tacos and horchatta I've ever had, the ghetto..est club I have ever been to, La Jolla, St. Paddys down town, Persian New Year and Las Vegas. Best group of friends. Best trip ever!
Once upon a time we thought there was a Spring Break party on the bay. False. It was
Persian New Year. 3000 Middle Easterners and 20 white college kids from Utah.
Epic in our Spring Break tanks.
The SD crew outside the bungalow.
I had gone over two years without a burger and it was my first time
at In-N-Out. So naturally I had a double double animal style. It went down nice and
smooth. I loved it so very much.
HARE KRISHNA aka, Festival of Colors. SD crew reunited with my good buddy
Taylor Crane for some Krishna goodness. This was before the mayhem...
Mid mayhem....
post mayhem....
APRIL:
Christy, one of my new best friends and I have the same birthday. She turned 20, I turned 22. In
honor of this we threw a birthday palooza. It was bumpin, packed and so much fun. One of the
most fun birthday parties I have ever had.
Actual day of birth. Vans boat shoes, cash, design book...some of the great items.
Strawberry torte. 22 candles. My favorite birthday to date....
So there we are. Its now April 25th, finals are coming up, my life is crazy busy and I am loving it. Lots of changes are happening and I have big plans for the future. My summer endeavors will require their own post soon to come. As well as recents events since my birthday. What a fun school year this has been. So fun....
