Beach Photo Shoot

I find that there is no better way to procrastinate the inevitability of final projects like blogging.... so here we go!

Conference weekend was BEAUTIFUL here! I mean really really great! And since I know Utah had snow then and more crazy weather today I may rub that in a little but more by saying... I LOVE CALIFORNIA WEATHER!

In between sessions on Sunday my friends and I got together for brunch. When we get together we really eat great food. My roommate is a bit of a food snob so you can GUARANTEE that wherever Carin is, there will be gourmet food!

After watching the second session of conference and a few people left the remaining 4 of us decided to take a drive up the coast in Carin's red convertible (my favorite way to travel the PCH these days). We wanted to check out this beach call El Matador where they shoot a lot of the Sport Illustrated photos.

Since the beach is basically made for taking pictures that is what we did.... My friend Brandon took these and I was so uncomfortable when he was taking them and very pleasantly surprised they were horrendous! If you are in SoCal definitely go check out this beach!!!!

All the Single Ladies 2011

So I don't use the phrase "I had the time of my life" very often so when I do I mean it and I wouldn't describe last weekend any differently! I had the chance to participate in the SoCal Ragner Relay with 14 AMAZING girls! My friend Rosey asked me to be on the team and I was thrilled! I had been looking forward to it for months but had no idea I would have this much fun! All the girls were from San Diego so I was nervous because I wouldn't know them but we became instant friends!

Thursday night after class I drove down to San Diego to meet my girls! I hit traffic so I didn't get there until really late.

We all crashed on the floor to prepare for our 4 am wake up call! (Look at all that food!!! We pretty much ate it all too)

We drove an hour and a half to the start in Huntington Beach but even at 5:30 am we had tons of energy!







We were even on the NEWS! Go Single Ladies!

I was so happy to see my team at the end of this bridge!


My first Exchange was in the Angel's parking lot! A dream come true for an Angel's fan like ME :)


After we were all done with our first leg's what did we want? CAFE RIO of course! (some thought it was a better idea then others but I loved it!!!!!


Getting ready to start leg 2


The back of our shirts had our phone #'s!


Best part? Spontaneous Dance Parties!!!! Everybody LOVED the Single Ladies!



The finish was amazing!




I can't wait for next year! I love All My Single Ladies!!!!!

Great Idea


So for my birthday my mom surprised me with one of these! They are are Curl Covers and they make it so you can put HOT curling irons or flat irons away without getting burned or ruining the drawer, etc.... I have really liked it when I stay at Meg's so I can put my flat iron away right after I am done and I don't have to worry about her kids getting burned. It also helps you clean the bathroom right away.

I have really loved mine! You can buy them at http://www.curlcovers.blogspot.com/

Enjoy!
