hi!

so, i am pretty sure i am the worst blogger ever, but i did finally decide to make a post! I only really have a few exciting things to talk about... #1. me and brai totally won Spencer Smiths pjs! #2. me and heather went on a rockin road trip at the end of the summer! #3. the zipline at our property in wyoming is up and running! : ) : ) : )

so, one night i get an email from northern downpour (panic! at the discos fan club) saying there is a contest and that i should renew my membership. so i looked it up and it said the winners (there would be 2) would win the pajamas brendon and spencer wore in the nine in the afternoon music video!!! so i immediately tell brailee and we started plotting. the rules were that you had to take a picture at a cool, weird place wearing your pjs and it had to be outside. the picture below is our photo that won!!! : ) our other one was takin in ogden by the colored horses. because we had nobody to help us we were setting up my tripod and using the timer button on my camera! it was hilarious and a lot of fun!...you wouldn't know it from the picture but the salt flats were BLAZING hot and our feet hurt soooo bad by the end of the day!!! anyway, about a month later, after checking the website i'm not even kidding every single day, they posted us as a winner!!! they didn't tell us whose we got...until it arrived in the mail! and we got Spencer's! he is the drummer.

To see the PJs we won go to this link and watch the music vid:

Spencer is the 3rd guy shown waking up in his room!

so, the last week of summer me and heather set off on a road trip across utah. originally our road trip was going to be to new york...but then it became a utah temple trip...but really we didn't have the time or money for either of those...so we went down to st. george instead and hit as many temples as we could along the way.

this is me and heather at tuacahn where we saw tarzan! it was AMAZING!

Harvard! 8 - )

alright! so...i'm back in lovely connecticut right now because last weekend my family visited my dad in boston! the reason he is in boston is that he is attending Harvard! he is in this awesome business training program where he goes to school there for two months. anyway, my family surprised him there for family week! part of family week included going to two classes! it was so interesting! we had to read case studies beforehand, like homework, then discuss them in class! so cool to be able to see how classes are taught at harvard! when i was younger i always wanted to go to school to harvard...i guess now i have!? ; ) haha

this is the classroom at harvard

my pops, mama, brock, jashley, and me

so, included in family week was a whale watch! we took a boat out into the atlantic ocean and observed whales! it was awesome! here are some pics!...

that is a fin!

you can see some there at the surface of the water

another fin...these are all my best pictures...we actually saw more of the whales than we thought we would. they don't like jump out of the water or anything...just come up to breath i guess

ok at the bottom of this post there will be a few different VIDEOS of the whales! i have not yet posted any videos yet so i'm pretty excited!

this is in boston on our duck tour...duck or DUKW which is a land-water vehicle used in WWII

battle of bunker hill monument

apparently people paint themselves like statues in order to get money! haha

Lots and lots! : )

one night me and Heather were totally craving ABC Mandarin...and also we wanted to show Manda how amazing it is...so we drove from provo special to eat there! mmmmm it was definately worth it! : )

happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday dear brittnee, happy birthday to me!

so for my birthday Manda and Heather made me enchiladies for dinny and pina coladas! YUM!

they gave me those three margarita glasses! and three new button pins for my purse! : ) tanks guys!

haha...so Amanda works at cougar creations on BYU campus and there was this poster that some customer didn't want for some reason and so she took it out of the trash and hung it up! ha ha ha...i was totally surprised when i saw it there when i got home from school. funny

also to celebrate my birthday, we went to jump on it! it was great fun!

nate jumpin

high fives!

manda doin her awesome twisty trick!

so in the marriott school at byu during the integrated business core we are put into groups. all my classes are with the exact same group of kids so it makes the millions of group projects we do a little bit easier! so this is my group! i have spent lots of time with them and we have accomplished a lot! our most exciting project was for our organizational behavior class and we got to choose any consulting project for an organization...well we chose this company called Handstands located in bluffdale, utah. they are actually the company that makes the Refresh! brand of car air fresheners and if you own a mouse pad it is probably made by them too!...it probably won't say their name on it though cause they do a lot of private branding. well anyway for our project we did marketing research on a newer product they have called the Gadget Grip. right now it is just a promotional product and they are thinking about putting them into retail. well, we conducted our research and came up with some recommendations for them! we presented it to like a whole group of them there...including their president and a whole bunch of their marketing employees and finance staff. tons! it was so scary...but it was a great experience!
