Some Crazy Friday Fun!

This past Friday I had some of my friends from school over for a BBQ. We had great food and way too much fun. I sure love these guys!

The night began with Jamilyn on our favorite piece of furniture...little did we know it would end the same way! ;o)

Anyone who knows me knows that I should also own this T-shirt. :o)

Meez?

Steph Z. showed me this website. It's like an advanced version of paper dolls that you can make look like you. (Ya right! I wish my waist were that small.) Too funny!

ASU 2006 - 2007 Random Pictures

This year at ASU has been such a blast! I have had so many wonderful experiences and made some amazing friends. I'm so grateful for all of the people who have come into my life to inspire, teach and support me. Here's to another year of great memories!

A Bold Move

I did it! I decided to go darker. For a long time I have been highlighting my hair mostly blond with a little bit of dark as a low light. This time I decided to be bold and go dark all over with some blond highlights. I definately different but I like it! What do you think?

This one was taken today after I did my hair myself.

Father's Day

For Father's Day I flew home to California to surprise my Dad. It was really fun and he was really surprised. Saturday he had to work so I went shopping with my Mom, Aunt , Grandma Barlow and Great-Grandma Hagen all day and then out to lunch to celebrate my Grandma's birthday. That night my Mom, Dad , Jeff and I went to dinner together. Sunday I sang in the ward my Dad is bishop of and then we had a nice dinner with my Badger Grandparents before I had to head back to the airport. It was a short but sweet trip.

Funny...but you had to be there!

My roommate Adele is a master cake decorator and about a month ago she bought a decorating book with all these amazing cakes in it and right in the middle was this boot cake. We thought it was so funny we begged her to make it. Well about two weeks ago we had a get-together at our house and we finally convinced her to make it. Way to go Adele! You're the best!

An inspirational story

My sister shared this with me and I thought it was such an up lifting and incredible little story to inspire us all to follow our dreams. Enjoy!

Places I've been!

So I've been a few places but it looks like I still have a lot more of the world to explore! By the way I think Canada should be split up into provinces. No way have I visted the whole country. Oh well...it's still fun to see where you've been! :o)

The Google Game!

Here's a fun game to play when you're bored. First go to google and type in, " [name] likes to" and read the first ten things that come up. Then do the same with "[name] hates to". It's pretty funny what you get. I was laughing so hard! Here are mine:

Kimberly likes to:

1) Play golf and go fishing, for relaxation (Ha! NOT!)

2) swim, go to the park, watch movies, and play volleyball.

3) Add a touch of romance to everything she does.

4) Shop, read, exercise and spending time with family and friends.

5) Lean over and look at the ground as she swings. (Ha, ha!)

6) Say, “The good looking players are the added bonus.” (Ok I'm dying laughing!)

7) Shoot photographs.

8) Play softball, video games and board games.

9) Store her bags in store carriers.

10) Iimitate him paying for groceries. (Who? What?)

Kimberly hates to (had to use Kim for this one):

1) See indecent acts perpetrated in public places.

2) Talk about herself

3) Be caught on film in unguarded moments.

4) Lose.

5) Touch old objects.

6) Be ignored judging by the childish rhetoric. (Huh?)

7) Read. (NOT!!)

8) Saw wood. (Ha! This is too much fun.)

9) Say it, but thinks the colour for the walls reminds her of baby poo. (I am in stitches rightnow!)

10) Feel like the baby on the crew.

I know, I know...too much time on my hands. Give it a try! :0)

Footloose, footloose, kick off your Sunday shoes!

I am SO excited! I auditioned for this musical on Monday and just found out today that I got cast. I'll be playing Ethel, Ren's mom (the dancing teen), I am so thrilled! Musical Theater is truly my first love but I have been so involved in classical training over the last six years that I have not had much time to audition for shows. I am trying to decide what I want to do after I graduate and after seeing The Light in the Piazza on Saturday it became clear to me that I need to spend some more time auditioning for musical theater shows so that I can figure out which way I want to do. Thanks to all of those who have supported and encouraged me as I have tried to figure it out! Hope some of you can come out and see the show! :0)

I DID IT!

Yesterday my stake held a 5k run as part of a Health & Wellness activity and I went and participated. It was really fun but really hard becuase by the time the race started at 8 am it was already close to 85' outside and the course had some fairly large hills that you had to climb. But the good news is that I am still alive and I finished under the 30 minute mark which was a good goal for me since it usually takes me between 35-40 minutes. Sure it's only 3.2 miles but for someone who just started running a couple months ago it was a great accomplishmet for me. Who knows! Maybe someday I'll run a marathon. Naaaaa! I don't like running THAT much! :o)
