More October festivities (part 2)

So, as October was incredibly busy, (Conference, girls mask night, 2 concerts - 4 awesome bands, Real Game, Jazz Game, Cookie night, Thriller, Pumpkin carving, and all the Halloween festivites... I'm laying low for November (just my sister's wedding and a 5K on Thanksgiving day... Oh, and Twilight!). I'm using this time to get my blog caught up with October! But I'm breaking it up because there's just too much.

FIRST for the SECOND post! REAL!!

We went to a Real Soccer game and we had awesome seats. Almost dead center along the field! It was really sad because I had been sick for awhile so I was used to it and had a blast. Ally however was in the "huh, my head is not here" stage and she looked so sad!! In this pic, she is bravely putting on a smile...

Another really sad part for Ally, they through dice down and one hit her in the head! Now, these weren't normal dice - they were probably 5 Ft big and weighed ALOT. I hit the corner wrong and bruised the snot out of my hand. It hurt so bad. So Ally got hit right in the head. The guy behind her told her it was time to sue but that's not Ally. But all in all, it was a really great night.

Here's the first Real score (ally, thia and myself), and the second Real Score! 2-0, sounds good to us!

Afterwards, we were HUNGRY so we went to Belgian Waffle House and ate ALOT of food...

And this was how we felt after!

The very next day, we went to the JAZZ game! I got free tickets from a misshap on July 24th at the Bees Game so me and Thia and Dave and....oh wait, this is where I got ditched 3 different times from 3 different guys; the last one was at the last minute and I couldn't find anyone else! (I'm not embarrassed about being stood up repeatedly, THEIR the ones missing out!) But I did have a funny story with the Real and Jazz game. The night of the REal, I was getting on the elevator to go home and there was this guy that just randomly has been popping up for the last year. I first saw him last year and we cheated while playing Bingo at a H4 dessert social. Didn't see him again for 2 months and then ran into him at volleyball, ran into him again at the YSA Summit and then again at Softball. Now, here he is on the elevator. Turns out he's working on the 6th floor (I'm on the 5th). So weird. Anyway, we walked out to the parking garage and were talking and he said, "Well, I gotta get going." And I said, "me too, going to the REal Soccer game tonight." and he said, "I am too!" and I was shocked but we laughed about it and he got my number so he could text me at the game. I said, "Well, not only am I going to REal tonight, I'm going to the Jazz game tomorrow night." and he said, "ME TOO!!" and then I thought he had to be kidding but he wasn't!! It was so funny.

Anyway, we got dipping dots!! So good, so good! There aren't as many fun pictures of the Jazz game because, it just wasn't as fun as REal! Seriously....

At the end, we tried to do the "Biggest Loser" jump on the bench. Yep, I'm pretty cool!!


Well, until I have more time to get the rest of the OCTOBER stuff on here, this is it for now!!

Slumped??

So, I realize I haven't blogged for quite sometime and my good friend Anika just did and I think I'm feeling a bit inspired by said friend. :)

What to write about?? How about October since I basically skipped it (blogging-wise that is). Did you know fall is my favorite time of the year? Well, now you do so don't forget. But this October has been incredibly busy and I'm either feeling worn out or just....slumpish?? Yeah, slumpish. I know it's not a word but it fits how I'm feeling. Don't get me wrong, I've thoroughly enjoyed all the many things I've done. I don't know why I feel like this poor beat up person and honestly, not liking it. Maybe if I blog about the things I've done and relive it through the many wonderful pics I have, then I'll get more excited for more adventures that are coming. I think that's a great idea!

Let's see, where to start. Well, conference was just stinking amazing! Woo hoo for later day revelation! My mom called me and asked if Thia and I would like to go for a canyon drive between sessions on Saturday. We brought our camera's but were a little disappointed because most of the leaves had already changed colors weeks before and they weren't as vibrant they normally are in early October, plus the one day of snow we got killed some them, but it was still really peaceful and fun to be with my mom, sister and best friend/roommate on this wonderfully spiritual day. Plus, conference was REALLY good! :)

How about our girls night! Good times. This may have been in September but I don't care; my blog, I'll do what I want with it. Wait, it was after conference so it WAS in October. HA! Take that. Anyway, we had a nice taco salad dinner with lots of laughs and then did facials and went the whole nine yards with cucumbers and everything. Word of advice, if your going to eat the cucumber after, make sure to use REAL avocado masks. We didn't, gross. But it was still a REALLY fun night and next time, WE WILL USE REAL AVOCADO!! :)

As one of my birthday presents, my wonderful friend Thia bought me a ticket to the Mayday Parade and The Academy Is... concert! Two incredibly FUN bands and what a great show! I ran into my friend Andrea there too! (Notice all the exclamation points? Yep, I'm feeling excited just thinking of all this good fun.)

We got a little goofy but had so much fun. I have also decided to be a silent stalker of the lead singer of Academy Is, I already suck at stalking because I don't know his name or where he lives and it's already been about a good month but I DO know that he has this one look and when he gives it, HELLO! Thia wanted to win him over with this look:

Then for Ally's birthday, Thia and I got tickets for Plain White T's and Snow Patrol. We drove all the way down to Provo and were stinkin excited but alas, we had to wait for a very long time.

At first we didn't mind:

But then we had to start entertaining ourselves...

And after waiting FOREVER, Plain White T's came out said they almost canceled because the singer lost his voice but they were going to sing because Utah made them big... they played 3 songs (but good songs).

Thia was so excited, she hit her head... Twice. Ally was nervous, I thought it was funny. :)

Then Snow Patrol took the stage!! They played FOREVER (which made up for Plain White T's).

There's was much dancing and happiness

End result, satisfaction!



More things to come...October had much more good things to offer (like Thriller/Real/Jazz and of course, Halloween!) but this has taken much time already and it is time to rest! :) Maybe this is why blogging regularly is a good thing. I will have to try that in November. :) So to all who reads this, and I know there isn't many, GOODNIGHT but not goodbye to October. We still have some catching up to do.
