UEA Weekend

       This past weekend for UEA we went with my Uncle and my Aunt to Las Vegas. We spent about 80% of the time just in the hotel swimming pool. It was so much fun.
       One night we walked down the strip. It was very very scary and you really can't look around anywhere except for looking at the person who is your buddy system. My brother and I just stared at each other for a bit at one point. A good long while. The trip was very fun but I don't think I have a burning desire to go back.
       We rented a car to go on the trip and it was tiny but it was fun to squish and find the most comfortable spots. The weather was so beautiful, definatly a lot warmer than home. I even got a good lookin' tan. We also went to multiple quilt shops, M&M World, and the Coke Factory. We even got to walk around the Las Vegas Temple. Meghan and Celeste weren't with us, they were swimming in the hotel pool. Here are the pictures.




There were so many Palm trees!


At the first hotel we stayed at we went peddleboating and Kyaking it was so much fun.

Homecoming....A little late


            I really would have put this up sooner but I was hoping that our group pictures would be back soon...but it hasn't and I'll write it without them. I was asked by this gentlemen in the picture to go to homecoming. I really wasn't expecting to be asked but I was very very very happy.
       
        My older sister and I were watching a movie on the couch and then we heared the door bell ring. I looked through our peep hole and no one was there. Tons of scenarios went through our head.....what if it's an attacker.....what if it's a hobo? We debated about opening the door.Then the thought came....Homecoming is close! We checked through the blinds and then finally saw something on the ground so I ran to open the door. IT WAS FOR ME!!!! It said "I know it's kinda short notice, but it would be SWEET if you would go to homecoming with me!" and he signed his name. There was honey all over the paper and the plate it was on and I was so excited about it that honey was dripping everywhere and I really didn't care. I was jumping around and a lot of screaming with excitment. MY FIRST DANCE!!! I was so excited.
    
       For the day activity we hiked Timpanogas Cave and then took a tour cave, it was way fun but after we were all exhausted. He picked me up later on and we went uptown to an italian resturant. The dance was a blast and I am so happy he asked me because I had so much fun and he was a gentleman the whole time. He opened all my doors and helped me with all my chairs. It was an awesome date. I want to do it again soon.
