Coldplay...my hero like no other

ColdPlay Concert!!!  VIVA LA VIDA!!!

(Saturday November 20, 2008)

View of stage from our "seats" Stephanie, Breanna, and I. Yup I changed my shirt to a Coldplay concert tour shirt!! 
Best story ever: We were sitting in our "nose bleed" seats when this girl came up to us and started asking questions about us. She is Coldplay's personal light techie and that she might be able to upgrade our tickets a little. But we had to give the right answer to: "What is the name of the first album by Coldplay?" Answer: Parachute! She took us out of the seating area and took our tickets. Then she pulled out three tickets and asked how we felt about sitting in row 4!!! OH My GOODNESS!! We freaked out and started screaming and then we all hugged her. We did have to ditch our three other friends, but it was not our fault they didn't want to come early. So we took the tickets and went down to the floor. We got wristbands and it turns out that row 4 is really the second row from the stage!!! we were one row and a small speaker from Chris Martin!!! Thats my exciting life in the music life!!!

Breanna, Stephanie, and I totally stoked about the concert!! 

The beginning of Coldplay!!!
Theme is form his latest album: Viva La Vida, so he was dressed old fashioned militarish.
I love him!



His concert was amazing! Literally priceless! The best there is!
Of course he has to play the piano for a lot of songs, it just would not be as good if he didn't.

Heres some videos; more like clips of some of his songs. I didn't get whole songs because one: my camera stinks, two: my cameras

"In My Place"

the above video shows a big reason of why i love Coldplay (Chris Martin) so much.  The first time i saw him sing on tv, it was around the time i was in 7th grade and i saw him with shoes off, dancing "interpretably."  I feel in love with him at that moment and never stopped. He is definitely not shy of using his ATP!!

Saturday November 22: Trip to Salt Lake City!

Today was one of the better days I can remember.  In the morning, Stephanie, Breanna, and I hit the road for a day in Salt Lake! Nicole, Karen, and Lindsey joined up with later that day.  Disclaimer: the pictures are not in order of events that day, in fact, they are actually in the opposite order. 

 My first virgin wild berry daiquiri!!! We were chillin in Applebees while watching the BYU vs. Utah, and i decided to try one. 
Breanna got one with me. I must say they are way good! Just like a smoothie, you could tell there was a lot of sugar in it... but it was tasty.
                            Lindsey and stephanie
Nicole and Lindsey (that is nicoles honest facial expression, she looked up right when Breanna took the picture)
A very tall christmas tree in the Conference building
Me and a banjo player...did i mention i love the banjo!! so fun!

back to the moon, it was difficult to walk there
Oh i also took a job for channel 2 Forcast; just a one time thing though.
Breanna decided to make like gum and Orbit...buh dum bum
Highlight: We played in the leaves outside this random apartment in Salt Lake.

I have this sincere complex with nutcrackers I decided. I love them.
The Salt Lake Temple.
The tabernacle building: thats the organ thats on the hymn books!!! There are over a thousand pipes! true fact!
                Visiting Center: Christ

Proof I was the Forcaster for Channel 2!!

Happy Cucurbitaceae!

Halloween came and gone this year.  Like usual, I had no idea what to be, and then friday morning I woke up from a very pleasant/sad/revealing dream and looked in my closet.  To my surprise I saw my red pants and then it came to me.  For Halloween 2008 I was going to dress as a ketchup bottle.  As soon as class was over I got to work on my shirt.  It was very fun! 

 Me and 2 of my roommates. They were Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. 
 Friday night I went to my stake halloween party. Above is a group of people from my ward. 
One of my favorite things about Halloween is going to school! The above picture is not very good, but the yellow figure you see is a life size Pac Man! Its being chased by that red guy.  It was amazing, they even had the music from the game playing inside the pac man.  I love to campus and seeing everyone who dressed up.  My chemistry teacher dressed as Egor and did a whole lot of experiments, color changing, explosions, ping pong fire of Doom! and much more. It was one of the better classes I have been to. 

Halloween is at an end and Thanksgiving is now on everyones mind. I will miss the commercials having a spooky twist and the classic scary movies and dressing up. I will just have to wait a year!

Dabbles during School

I have been very fortunate to be able to drive up to the Marshalls and spend time with them here and there throughout the year.  The following pictures are in Idaho and then back in Provo at a floor reunion Breanna organized. 

I cannot seem to last very long without taking many pictures of Gracey, she is one of the cutest baby girls, its amazing how well mannered she is at such a young age, so "whats up" kind of girl. 

Emma's soccer game that i finally got to watch.  She did a pretty good job! I was so proud of her.  Her dad, Weston, coached the game. 
It is so much fun to watch little kids play sports!

I love this picture of Gracey.
She is such a content little baby. 
Breanna, Me, Emily, and Anne.  This is at our floor reunion
They wanted a picture of me in the tree...they think i like plants...lol


            Chipman 2100 Floor : (mt floor last year) There is most of us here, a handfull did not attend though

Provo Maddness

Me in Provo Utah: school 
Breanna plays soccer, this is the first and only game i have gone to so far. 
Blurry i know, but thats breanna kicking the ball.! 
Their team name is the Incredibles... 
They won 5-o!!! I can't wait for their next game, i am going to dress up!!
My roommates and I in SLC at the Dodo Bistro. 
Los Hermanos: pretty good Mexican food for Provo. Despite the picture above, i enjoyed the burrito very much.

We just chill
Breanna likes to play with her food. She made a face with one...it fell. and she screamed. : )
My roommates and I went to SLC for the Womens conference. Then we toured Temple Square. 
Us again, they like taking a lot of pictures.

 Ok, so this is not in provo, but in idaho. I forgot to add this picture to my last post. First time to see an "expectant mother" parking only. P.S. Sarah is really not pregnant, she is only pretending...

About 11:30 am we made a run to Wendys...we just love those chicken nuggets. They make us happy and fuzzy inside.

I tried baking a cookie on a frying pan like a pancake...Breanna ate it...it was ok...
We were a little on the wierd side that night/early morning (we didn't leave eachother till 1am)
This picture is my desktop picture, i love it. It looks better though when it is bigger. 

Life in provo utah: fall 2008.
