Cali... remodeling...and ALI VINCENT!!!

Ok, I am going to combine some big things into one blog post to try to catch up on the times I've done this summer....

First of all, I had a crazy spring semester of college! I am getting closer and closer to graduation (woot!!) so I really had to buckle down to concentrate on school instead of playing all the time. And it paid off! Totally got a 4.0 with 5 classes... I was pretty stoked. :)

About 2 weeks after the end of the semester came the opportunity to head to California, and of course I jumped at it! I needed a break and was lucky enough it get it.

Me, Mel, Michelle and Mom all headed up to North Cali - Napa Valley, San Fran, and Oakland! It was awesome! It had been over 10 years since I visited the Bay Area and was so happy to go back! We had an awesome weekend filled with a temple visit, the Jelly Belly factory, and touring San Fran! Here are some awesome pics to document our visit! Can't wait to go back!

Oakland Temple! So pretty!

Lombard Street in San Fran!

Walking up the curviest street in the world.

The Bay


At the Golden Gate Bridge!

Am I the only one that thinks of
Full House when I see the bridge?


Now, as most of you know, I am a HUGE Biggest Loser fan! I have Rach Smith to thank for that! She totally got me hooked. Anyway, I get a random call from Rach at 8 in the morning one day, and she informed me that Ali Vincent, the first female winner of the Biggest Loser, was doing an impromptu work out in Salt Lake City later that day! Of course I told her we HAD to go, and luckily she agreed. So we trucked on down to the SLC to meet Ali and do an awesome circuit with her! I loved it. We got to talk to her, had some awesome one-on-one time with her, and got to pick her brain on workout tips. Since then we've read her new book "Believe It, Be It", which
got for free for buying some shoes. It was awesome! WOOT!


Me and Ali!

Last but not least, we decided to remodel our front room. We had carpet and nasty old tile so we put in new pretty tile. It looks REALLY good! Here is a couple of pics to show me beating the old tile to death! Yay! SO FUN! I love hitting things! :)


I am CRAZZY!

Like I said, I like to hit things!

SUGARLAND!!

Me and my BFF Brooke went to see Sugarland in concert a couple months ago. That's right I said MONTHS...Like I've said before, I have really neglected this blogging thing. But I wanted to share this with the world! It was such a good concert. THE BEST I HAVE EVER BEEN TO! And that is saying a lot since I have been to A LOT of concerts!

Jennifer Nettles and Christian Bush put on a great show. They really know how to keep their fans involved in the show. And Jennifer just has this energy that is so infectious. She was going crazy the entire show. They played all the good hits with some awesome covers and even some songs from their upcoming album!

You know how some artists sound terrible live? Not Ms. Jennifer Nettles, or J Nett as I like to call her. She has an amazing voice puts so much emotion and feeling into every song she sings. That is why she is such a good entertainer!

LOVED IT!! I can't wait until they come again! I will definitely be buying FRONT ROW seats! AMAZING SHOW!!! Thanks Brookie for an awesome night!


P.S. I am going to put a TON of videos on here... that way you can enjoy them ALL! :)
