Serious struggles

So....I'm not the strongest girl I know. This was totally magnified when Liz and I were stranded out in the middle of a field because we couldn't start the effing snowmobile. Here is a hint of what this little adventure was like...this happened about 5 times! You'd think that we would learn to constantly give it a little gas to save us from the hell we endured. Sometimes we never learn...

Wyoming Wonderland

The whole crew

Liz and I were fortunate enough to spend President's Day in Star Valley, and let me just tell you, it was one of the most pleasant weekends I've had in a while. Couldn't have asked for better company, food and all around good times. In previous trips, we have invited super random people and although this trip's randomness was similiar, all our peeps bonded! Hopefully there will be more trips to come! Here are a few pics from the trip!

Liz and I at lunch before we went shopping for mass amounts of food that were consumed throughout the weekend.


The crew at breakfast one morning


A harmless game of "I've never". Let me just say that I was so fascinated by the things that people had done. I guess they weren't as innocent as I thought!


The gals!


So...I became slightly obsessed with Bruiser and Zoe while we were...parting was hard.


Heading out for a little ride


A bunch of us at the "love cabin".

I think by the end of the trip, we all wanted to be adopted by the Kennedy's! Thanks for good times, Liz!

Come on folks....have some class

So this is a blogworthy moment that is definitely worth talking about and sadly, the pictures are dark and don't do it justice. Sometimes on Tuesdays nights, I venture up the the Institute to take a class. Last night I got my times mixed up and got there at the very end. I was sitting out in the lobby waiting for Elissa and enjoying the people watching that comes with attending the Institute.
There was this cute little pubescent couple who were so in love, it almost made me sick. On a side note, isn't it funny how the older we get, the younger everyone gets?? I kid you not, these kids looked like they were sophomores in highschool. As I watched them embrace and stare into one another's eyes, my phone rang and it was my brother Adam. We were in the middle of a convo when all of the sudden, these two little lovebirds start making out in the middle of the Institute lobby!! Honestly, who does that?? I was so infatuated by the whole thing that I just couldn't stop staring. No really, my eyes could not leave them. This was no little kiss, it was definitely passionate. He kept pulling her closer and closer, it was almost too graphic to watch. But, let me assure you, I was not the only one watching. There were several others around me who were also intrigued.
They must have decided that it was a little odd to be standing up so they moved their session to the chair. I was surprised that she didn't strattle him because they continued to get it on for quite some time. I know the picture is dark but this is the best one I could get. Come on folks...get a room.

where oh where have we gone?

I know that alli and myself have a loyal fan base. Because of this, i not only question how much spare time you have on your hands...BUT ALSO i decided it was about time i took a break from very important gossip girl (mon @ 7) to talk about our lives.
so you ask yourselves, "where have they gone"? I can only answer for myself, so that means i challenge alli to fill you in on her life...

Jud and i got little bored in Vegas seeing as how we don't drink, not too fond of strippers, and every time i tried to sneak away for a lovely little hand of blackjack- Jud decided to conveniently quote President Hinckley's talk about gambling. well let just say that ruined that plan!
Next stop on Liz's tour bus of fun...

We successfully found ourselves in Park City during Sundance, but we VERY unsuccessfully stalked celebrities. Dan might have scared them away.
and then there was the day we...

yes...we scarificied our health as you can see (alli had an eye disease and i had a minor stomach problem resulting in some serious issues) to get a kiss on new years eve. Apparently our "hotness" was over looked because no one got any except, of course elissa (who kissed an in the closet gay man...).

***QUESTION for the wise: Why does alli always hold a drink and look drunk? hmmmm...
Next stop:
I feel like this is so obvious-- but it IS winter and what can you do in the winter besides get hot chocolate and a dunford at the SEV....play in the snow!

I wanted to tell you about the day alli and i broke into wheeler farm to meet some of our furry friends, BUT i cant because alli ha the pictures....hint hint.
Did i mention EVERYONE should watch gossip girl? oh, i think i already did...
