Festival of Colors

David and I and our friends from Salt Lake went to the Festival of Colors on Saturday at some Hindu Temple in Spanish Fork. I've been meaning to go for years but never really got around to going for some reason. Apparently it's a pretty popular event because we left like an hour and fifteen minutes early and ended up getting there 30 minutes late. And let me just remind you that Spanish Fork is literally the next town over! We saw a ton of people walking so we decided to abandon ship and walk too. What we didn't realize is that when we left our car we were still like MILES away from the temple. Oh well, I guess we got our exercise in.

When we finally arrived at the temple, we saw tons of colors being thrown everywhere and on everyone. It was so fun. David and I were determined to get colored as much as possible. We quickly got in line to purchase our own bags of pretty colors but right before we got to the front the lady announced "We're out of colors. Now leave!" Sad day. If we would have walked literally 5 minutes faster we could have been apart of the cool crowd with colors. I'm telling you, David is horribly unlucky! If I would have went by myself I would have been early and never had to deal with traffic. Every since we got married, he's been sucking the luck right outta me. I used to be one of the luckiest people ever. :(

We did end up getting as much color as we had hoped on us though. We just got in the crowd and everyone started throwing the "stuff" up in the air at once. If I had asthma, I would have died. We were breathing that stuff into our lungs like crazy and it made us cough so badly. What people won't do for "culture." Hey, it's hard to come by in Utah, especially Utah county. All and all it was a fabulous way to spend Saturday.

Birthday, Skiing, and more

SO comfortable bed. I miss the Venetian!

Isn't my piggy cake adorable? Amy made it for me. I accidentally
ate off one of the ears and David ate the other piggy cupcake

YUM! Giant frozen hot chocolate that was Amaz-ZA-zing!

I've been such a blogger slacker lately and for that I apologize. I have actually been really busy at work lately...I know, I'm suprised too. Today was the first day that I actually looked at other people's blogs. Since I get so antsy when other people won't blog, I decided that I better do a little update of what we've been up to lately. Now people, GO BLOG TOO! I need some entertainment and pics of your cute children.

1-My birthday was completely AWESOME! David surprised me with a 3 day/night trip to Vegas that included staying at the Venetian in a super-duper nice SUITE. Teri was so nice to give me that as a present. She's the best! The hotel was so nice and the bed was so comfy. We need that bed because coming home to ours was not fun. David also got me tickets to Mystere' by Cirque Du Soleil, which I can't even begin to describe. It was so fabulous and I just want to see it again so badly. We had such a fun time and it was nice to see Teri and Cassie. Besides having to turn 25 it was wonderful.

2-Amy had her baby. She is so dang adorable and chubby and cute. I want to die when I see her. All I ever want to do is hold her. I'm afraid of going over too much in fear that I might overstay my welcome. Her cheeks are so chubby and cute. I love her girls. Kate's a riot now too and is talking up a storm. I hope I have as cute of kids as she has. I was hoping she would have Alli on my bday but she came on the 10th. What a sweetheart.

3-David and I finally went skiing/snowboarding. I got David a pass to Snowbird for Christmas and we just barely got around to using it. We decided that since it's like 60 degrees every day now we better use it soon or it would be too late. David snowboarded and I skiied and it was great. We were both fried a little crispy since we forgot sunscreen, but other than that it was a perfect day. Utah really does have the best snow on earth.

4-This job is stressing me out big time. Ok, so it's not that bad but I haven't been sleeping much because all I do is have nightmares of not being able to sell all the contracts. We have to sell 30 a week (yeah, that's 5 a DAY people!) to make our sales goals. That makes for a lot of sleepless nights. I will be so happy when it is over. Come on chillins' you know you want to live here. David and I are cool cats. haha
