Life's a Party, Dress Like it.

Well I am headed to the classiest town in America.

So classy, in fact, that it costs $18 for a round trip bus ticket, dinner, and tokens, and we will cross the state border twice within 12 hours.

I have gotten A's on my first 5 assignments in my probability class (stats minor), it's about time to reward myself.

Figure I'll put practice to the test.

I'll let you know my winnings.

(No I don't know how to gamble and yes I have a mere $10 to spend.)

Homestead

This was a few weeks ago, still an adventure I would like to share though.

Gavin and I are always looking for new places, joys and thrills.

I saw this picture on pinterest,

was excited about it's Utah location, looked it up, and gave it a try.

This is a hot-spring filled crater in Midway, UT (featured on the upcoming episode of the bachelor!!).

Midway is my new favorite town- half way between Provo and Park City.

Gav and I went on a sunny January day and were about the only ones there.

On the website, it says you pay for a 45 minute swim. Because they weren't busy, we pretty much got to do whatever we wanted.

We just swam around with little life jackets.

Because the crater is 70 feet deep, it is also a great place for scuba diving if you are into that or want to train to be certified.

Leap list.

(Because I use that phrase instead of bucket list now.)

Superstitions

Things I will never do:

• count the cars on a train
• break a mirror
• walk under a ladder

(I am knocking on wood as I am writing this)

Happy Friday the 13th everyone!

Mr. Pitbull, is it?

Not necessarily a fan in the first place but now I just think you are an idiot.

in·ter·na·tion·al

adj. Abbr. int. or intl.

1. Of, relating to, or involving two or more nations: an international commission; international affairs.

2. Extending across or transcending national boundaries: international fame.

Down like New York city

Wild like Los Angelos

Hotter than Miami

I believe these are all cities within the United States of America,

which happens to be one nation.

I could be wrong.

Sorry... I had to tell someone.

Resolves

New Years Resolutions. I make a lot of goals, mostly because I steer away from my goals so often that I have to write them down again and recommit. A lot of people say they don't like making resolutions because they never stick with them anyways. I don't think there is anything wrong with that, as long as you keep making goals and are continuously working for what you want in life. One factor in achieving is writing down goals and letting others see them.

Dear world (or 5 people who read this), here are my resolutions with too much explanation:

• Learn to cook... and cook healthy
• Attend the temple more.
• Score a goal in every game. If I don't get it in a game, I will just score 2 in the next :)
• Graduate.
• Get more out of scripture study. (Summer of 2009 I made a goal to read the Book of Mormon every night. I went 2+ years straight and I think I have only missed 3 nights since. Now that I have the reading habit down, I should do more with it.)
• Get up to 7 mile runs. I know that sounds like hardly anything to a lot of people. I HATE long distance runs. HATE. I figure if I work at it gradually, it will become less of a pain and more of a habit and I can get to 7 miles on a consistent basis.
• No candy- not no sweets, just no candy.
• Feed my savings account. I am not a terrible spender, I am just not a great earner. By this I guess I mean find a full time job when school ends.
• Learn to drive stick. It may take tears, hopefully not blood. I have tried SO hard to learn and have killed Gavin's car TOO many times. I will no longer use the words "I can't." I am having anxiety just thinking about it, but I want a wrangler. I have to do this.
• 6 freaking pack. I have made this goal every year for the last 8 years. So what? as long as I am working at it, right?

(My chest may never be there, but the abs I can work for!)

So... until February!

I'd say next year, but let's be realistic. I will make new goals in 2 months.
