Las Vegas!!!

I love this place, it is SO nice to get out from all the stress of school and life and get out of town, and when I say town I mean town! Las Vegas is nice right now because of the GREAT deals that are going on. Just watch out for which pools are closed... We stayed at the Monte Carlo, and unfortunately, the pool was closed :(. However thank-goodness for friends and family that have pools down there so we weren't too saddened by the experience! I am SO excited for spring, I think that it can't get here fast enough. The weather was perfect down there! We went to the Rain Forest Cafe, which ended up being delicious and I would highly recommend it to anyone, we had eaten their before down in Down Town Disney, but that was a few years back. It is kinda like the Mayan, up in Provo, but without the divers. The other thing that is nice about Vegas is that there is ALWAYS shopping that can be done and there are always fun places to look at! Though I do have to say that I am not impressed with the new city center it looks like a brick could knock it down if thrown...I am more European in style, and so those are my favorite Casino's to visit!

Who Knew it Snowed in the Banana Belt?


Vancouver Canada








These pictures are long past due...They are of the trip my family took up to Vancouver Canada (aka The Banana Belt) where we lived when me and my sister Alisa were kids. It is so beautiful up here. And it hardly ever snows up there let alone a few feet, but seeing Stanley park all covered in snow was so pretty! We had fun going to Stanley Park and seeing old friends, shopping in Canada is AMAZING! Downtown is so much fun to shop and sight see. We were there during Boxing day..if you don't know what boxing day is, you are missing out!! They put EVERYTHING on Sale! It is a Shopahalic's DREAM, and the fact that it is in Canadian makes it that much better :) Enjoy!

25 Random things about Me

I saw this on my friend's blog and thought it would be fun to do! So if you want to be tagged...you're now it and have to put down 25 random things about yourself on your blog.

1- Walt Disney is my Hero!(Though I am not overly Disney) I love how Walt still brings happiness to people's lives. I love Disneyland I have been to Disneyland more times than I can count on both hands and toes which is to say A LOT. My goal is to visit Euro Disney in Paris one day.

2- I love nice cars and a Good truck. I actually get crushes on trucks and nice cars. I want to own a Dodge 2500 dual cab, and BMW 320 or something to that effect. Something fast and something that can handle rough terrain.

3-I love a good book, but I am picky about my selection, I like the classics and a good adventure the best.

4-Fast cars and loud music are pretty soothing to my soul, I don't know what it is about going for a drive with loud music, (Depending on my mood, the loud music can be anything from Classical to country to Hardcore Hip-hop)There is something intoxicating about it.

5- I love jewelry! Gold Jewelry is the my favorite type. Pearls especially Black , diamonds, Emeralds are so Beautiful and one day I am going to own an Alexandrite, because they can change all the time.

6-I LOVE LOVE LOVE to travel, and see new places The thrill of seeing a place for the first time... or the tenth, WOW! My favorite places to go are places that are green with lots of Gardens. My goal is to travel to at least 20 different countries.

7-Contrary to Most people's fear, I enjoy public Speaking, I like the adrenaline rush, and the attention that I get in that setting.

8-I am not afraid to die, I only have one life to live, I had better make it worth it. So I try to enjoy but I still am a little cautious, not need to cause my death either.

9- I can't stand Gossip, nothing ever good comes from it. It is like tar, it just makes everything ugly, sticky and smelly and who wants to be around someone that is like that? Not me!

10- I enjoy learning new things, Though I prefer a good dialog rather than learning out of a how too book. Though that just goes for school subjects. With hobbies I have no qualms about extracting info from a book or the internet.

11- Nature Never ceases to amaze me, whether it is clouds, rivers, storms, trees, animals, Oh and Stars on a crisp cold night...it all is SO amazing!! It always takes my breathe away

12- Flowers are a part of my being. I grew up in a flower shop, hence they are part of who I am. I love to Garden and miss California Gardens the most. St. George has nothing on California Greens

13- I HATE the cold. Snow is only fun to Play in and visit then to leave. Snow is SO messy then there is the salt...Lets just say that for me, living in the Heat is the better way to go

14- I believe that there is some truth to the Zodiac, I am a Gemini, and some of the things I have read about are so true and really explain my personality

15- I lived in Canada when I was a kid.

16- Early American History fascinates me, I can read all the books on how America came to be and still not be tired of the subject.

17- I have learned from personal experience that a few good people can make all the difference

18- Camping, fishing,hiking, skeet shooting are all activities I enjoy, though I am not great at them, and sometimes get bored with the fish. I still enjoy doing those activities, cause they are fun.

19- I have a horrible memory (it comes with being blonde) Sometimes when I am leaving to go somewhere I have to go back into the house two or three times because I forgot one thing or another.

20- I like to watch Hockey, football, basketball, pro baseball, most sports are fun though I don't have many favorite teams and plays/rules have to sometimes be explained more than once. But the thrill of a game and the excitement in the air is So much fun

21- My favorite colors are Forest Green, Fairy pink and pastel yellow.

22-I love Perrier (sparkling water) in any flavor

23- It takes a lot to get me angry, but then when I am I have a really bad temper, I am working on this one cause I usually say things I regret later.

24- I have three favorite seasons, Spring, Summer, Fall. The fourth is only good because of the holidays that come with it, and a peaceful Snow is very calming but again...Let's just say I would rather have Southern Cali weather instead of Northern Utah weather in the winter.

25- I have a very dry sense of humor but I can enjoy a good joke too.
