Vogue!

Man, I am slacking lately! Last week my friend Missy and her salon put on a fashion show to support Aids at the Beauty Bar in downtown Las Vegas. It was really cool! Missy and her fellow hair stylists did the hair for all of the girls in the show, and Missy's girl was a geisha. She rocked! She totally looked the best, but unfortunately I didn't get a picture of her geisha. :(


Megan, Me, Annette (Missy's mom) and Missy in all her burlesque-themed glory!


I did, however, get this little photo gem. My friends and I couldn't stop watching these two all night. I thought the girl would have rocked her outfit better with roller skates, but I dug every bit of the guys outfit...even down to his man purse!

So, needless to say, Friday was fun! Saturday I spent the whole day in the temple with a couple of my friends - literally the whole day. It was really nice. I was supposed to go out to a birthday party and country dancing after, but I was exhausted so I hung out with Harry Potter until I fell asleep. I'm on the last book! Woot Woot!

I don't really know if anything else exciting has happened, except that I think I have our whole Europe trip planned now. I think we're cutting out Spain, so if anyone has any reasons why we should or should not keep it in the plan, please let us know. Oh - we're having a big girl's night sleepover at my friend's apartment tonight, so I'm sure I'll have more fun pics to share next week.

Make-Overs!

So, I gave my mom and Renee MAC make-overs for Christmas, and we've never used them, so we finally decided to last Friday. We took the hideous, no smile Before shot, and then the beautiful After shot. It was a lot of fun and we learned lots of new tips. We also ended up spending a little bit, but that's expected. Ok, I know I'm not the girliest girl, but I'm really trying to be more girly lately. We were discussing on the way home that even though none of us wears a lot of make-up (I probably wear the most), it makes us feel pretty when we have even a little bit on. It just enhances the features. :)

After

We had a nice relaxing Easter too. Mom made Mark and Michael Easter boxes and mailed them to them with all sorts of goodies, and she even got Jonas a cute little basket with a bunny. Renee has the pic on their blog. It's adorable.

Oooh, I got to drive the Desoto to church on Sunday too and it was soooo fun! Man, I love that car. Tedd and Laurel are in town, so they came over for dinner on Sunday after an eventful day trying to see the Grand Canyon - long story! Then I went over to my friend Christy's house and we dyed Easter Eggs and had an egg derby. It was a lot of fun, but my egg lost in the first round. Bummer. My friend, Spencer, let me put his hair in pigtails though. So cute! ;) hehe



And of course I have to update on how cute and fat my little nephew is getting!

Conference!


So, I was just about to say that nothing super exciting has happened lately, but that would be a lie. Megan and I had Conference tickets for Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. It was awesome! We were in the Conference Center Saturday afternoon, when the session was actually being held in the old Tabernacle, so that was kind of a bummer. It was still really cool though. Sunday morning clearly topped it! It was so neat to be there with all of the First Presidency and the full conference center. Amazing talks, amazing spirit! Good times.

Megan and I drove up to Utah Friday night, hung out with her fam, went to a little get together at our friend Tim's house, went longboarding (I represented for the women and threw a couple of power slides!). We went to dinner with my old roomie, Emily, after Saturday's session and then went and saw her cute house! Her husband did an awesome job of fixing it up. It was sooooo good to see her again and we had fun reminiscing about old times. Oh man, I miss the college days. Oh, and I have finished the 5th Harry Potter book, so I have one more to go before the 7th one comes out in July in all it's glory! Sorry, no pics of Jonas this week. He talked to me on the phone on Sunday, but I didn't get to see him until Monday.
