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!
