Family Bike Ride Adventure

These are some pics from our family bike ride to Veterans Park. SO FUN!!

YAY!!!

Bryce sent me a package for my birthday!!! He sent me a South African flag, a replica of the an official South Africa 2010 World Cup FIFA soccer ball, and a letter! I was so excited. It took about 3 months to get here, and the box was already torn into, but all is well! HAPPY DAY!

utAH!

My roommate Nicole and my friend Tanya both live in Kaysville, UT, which is right outside of Salt Lake City. So, the weekend after we were done with the semester, we took a trip down there, just for fun! We went to temple square, the gateway mall, and the lion house for dinner! So fun!

Nicole and Tanya on Temple Square... in jail, apparently...

My 20th Birthday!

I just remembered that I hadn't yet posted anything about my awesome 20th birthday!

First I was blind folded and kidnapped. I was forced to take random pictures with things while I was blind folded.

I was taken to Beaver Dick park in Rexburg, where my roommates and FHE brothers were waiting for me. :) we had dutch oven dinner and cake and smores and presents! Kurt is the one on the right... my new awesome amigo/FHE brother!

This is one of my favorite people I have met all semester... Joseph Grigg! He is my FHE brother. I got the goofy glasses and the tiara for my birthday.

We decided to take a picture in this tube thing while we were at the park. I liked the picture... Sarah, Nikki, and Me!

Holi Festival of Colors

Each year, the there is celebration in East India to welcome in spring. It is called the "Festival of Colors". In Spanish Fork Utah, there is mock festival of colors each year as well, and thousands of people attend to "bring in spring"... mostly college students from BYU, Utah State, University of Utah, And Utah Valley. Anyway, my roommates and i went to the celebration last Saturday, March 27. The celebration is located at the Hindu temple there. It's a crazy and really interesting celebration. First a Hindu man preaches to you, and you chant "HARE KRISHNA" which just pretty much means "great chant" or "great prayer". And then everybody throws their paint in the air. The paint is kind of a chalky paint made with corn starch. There was so much paint that i couldn't breathe for a little bit... haha. We got COMPLETELY covered in all different colors of paint. then we all danced and chanted. It was so fun. Haha and crazy!

Me and Tanya with a guy who was holding a "hugs for peace" sign.

Me and Nicole! Love her!

The people I went with: Nikki, Nicole, Tanya, John, and me!

The next two pictures are from the internet... they are edited so that they look cool, but when we were in the group with all the people, thats what it looked like! SOOO COOL! Crowd surfers and everything!

Papa Nye!

I have the best dad in the world. And it is his birthday today! soooo... HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! I love him so much. He has done so much for me through out my life... like take me to and from college, and fix my car (often), and help me mow my lawns... he is always always always helping me out. I'm so glad he is my dad... I'm not sure any other dad would be able to handle me and my car/lawnmower-breaking-downness, or handle my always-losing-everythingness. When it all comes down to it, I have the best dad ever. and nobody can argue with that!

BYU-Idaho Rec Sports

One thing I have really loved while being here at BYU-Idaho is the rec sports program. I really think that this university has the best rec sports program in the nation.... not that I'm qualified to make that assumption, but still. IT'S SO MUCH FUN! Since there aren't 'real' sports at BYU-Idaho, everyone is encouraged to get involved by participating in one of the rec sports leagues. There are so many sports to choose from. Since i have been here, I have played soccer, flag football, ultimate frisbee, floor hockey, basketball, and dodgeball. In addition to these, BYU-I also offers volleyball, wrestling, soft/baseball, waterpolo, lacrosse, cheer leading, ice hockey, swimming, track/cross country... the list just goes on and on. It has been fun trying new things here! This semester, I did futsal (basically like indoor soccer), and dodgeball.

Here is my futsal team. Our team name was Kamikaze. we got 2nd place out of 30 teams!

And here is my dodgeball team. Our team name was Mem'ry X. We lost.... a lot... but it was still fun! haha.
