Delirium by Lauren Oliver

2011-03-02T23:56:00.000-08:00

Alright Family/Friends...I havent Posted since 2009 and the main reason I'm Posting again is so everyone will go read this book! Its incredible! Heres the Summary:

Before scientists found the cure, people thought love was a good thing. They didn’t understand that once love -- the deliria -- blooms in your blood, there is no escaping its hold. Things are different now. Scientists are able to eradicate love, and the governments demands that all citizens receive the cure upon turning eighteen. Lena Holoway has always looked forward to the day when she’ll be cured. A life without love is a life without pain: safe, measured, predictable, and happy. But with ninety-five days left until her treatment, Lena does the unthinkable: She falls in love.

Its crazy to read a book on how Love is described as a Disease. So I DEFINITELY suggest people to read this book and let me know if you like it!

Farming!

2009-03-08T23:23:00.000-07:00

I went with my roomate Karina to her hometown Burley this weekend and had a blast! We went to their neighbors Dairy Farm and got to feed baby calfs and even ride a cow! It was an amazing experience even though i did have to walk knee deep in manure! We're going to go back soon so that we can milk the cows since we werent able to do that this time! Enjoy :)

2009-02-11T08:13:00.000-08:00

Oh BYU. I am very suprised how fast I have fallen in love with this place. I was blessed once again with amazing roomates and my first month up here has been a blast. I've come to learn how forward BYU boys are thats for sure, but I am still single and holding strong! My life these days consist of Homework, School, Boys, and Mario Cart. It has been really great!

(I also realized that i ALWAYS have my mouth open during my pictures. Im working on it!)

Me, Shandi, Karina, Kade and Rhett took a trip to Utah this last weekend! It was way fun to show them where i was from and show them around Utah County. We had a fun three day weekend together filled with Mini Golfing at Trafalga, Mimi's Cafe, Pizza Factory, Movies, Halo Tournaments, and just Laughing so Hard. It was a Blast!

On our way!

I'm Leavin on a Jet Plane, Not Sure When I'll Be Back Again!

2008-12-30T00:23:00.000-08:00

So i am officially done with my Del Sol Experience. And i just wanted to say that going to Alaska and Key West has been the most amazing, life-changing experience of my entire life! I have enjoyed every second of it and i cannot wait to travel elsewhere in the near future!

As of January 5th, i will officially be a BYU Idaho Student! I am definitely looking forward to it, and am so excited for the next few months! So all the next pictures that are seen on here will be from good ole Idaho!

Love you all!

Missed Flight

2008-12-23T07:58:00.000-08:00

In the past 7 months i have been on 14 different planes. And this morning i missed my 15th.. It has been the most stressful day of my life. All i can say is you have to set a minimum of three alarm clocks for important events. Because any less then that wont go off. Just my luck right.

Halloween...A Beloved Holiday for many Young People in America. The Question is, What is the Age when a Person Becomes to "Old" to Dress up? My Answer is NEVER. My roomates and I had an amazing Halloween! After Hours of Cutting, and Glueing we Made the best Costumes i've ever Seen. We all Dressed up as Different Color Crayons.

Before returning to Utah, Me and my Roomate Ali went straight to San Diego too catch up on some sun! We've done some pretty fun stuff including a HUGE Shopping Spree and a trip to the San Diego Zoo and Cornado Beach! This was my first vacation without my Mom and Dad planning out tickets and cars and hotels... it has been very strange for me .. so i'm so lucky Ali took over the "mom" position and taught me everything i need to know ! (She carried all our tickets for places and the maps and stuff its kinda funny!) Anyways great vacation! I'll be flying back to Utah on Saturday Afternoon at 4 and then i leave for Florida on Tuesday!

Busy Busy but I LOVE THIS LIFE!

DAY ONE

Ali and I Spent all day today Shopping! There are no clothing shops in Skagway.. Well none that i would shop at. So this was a very significant day for both of us! First shopping in 4 months! We went to Old Town, Seaport Village, and the Plaza. 5 STORIES of Shopping! We were in Heaven!

All in all... it was a Fantastic Day!

Very Windy in the Trolley

Del Sol San Diego!

I'm so Happy..

Enjoy the Tour!

My Apartment Building!

My Steps

This is Our Secret Alley Way That we Have to Go Through in Order to Get too...

Radio Shack! But this Radio Shack is Different From Others.. They Rent Out Movies, Sell Ice Cream/Candy/Frozen Pizza, and Have the ONE AND ONLY Tanning Bed In Skagway!

We Bought a Unlimited Movie Pass! I have Watched SO Many Movies Up Here its Ridiculous. I Feel Like Jeff. This Past month we Watched about 3 or 4 Movies a Day!

Of Course My Favorites Were the OTH Seasons ! If You thought i chought I Could Quote it Before...Haha..Well I am Definitely More Pathetic Now..

I Probably have a couple Pints of Ice Cream a week to go with My many Movies!

And so I won't be Pasty White, I aslo have a Tanning Pass :) Sorry Mom!

Next Door to Radio Shack is My all Time Favorite Place EVER!

Sugar Mamas! They Sell the BEST Cupcakes in the World no Joke. In all Honesty I've had at least 1 Cupcake every day this Past Month!! The Owner Loves me there and Is Considering Moving to Provo so that She can Keep me as A Customer!Its a Chocolate Brownie Cupcake with Chocolate Chips and a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Baked into the Middle with Peanut Butter Frosting on Top! Amazing let me tell ya. There was Only 2 Left and Ali Took Too Long To Call Dibs :)

Kone Kompany is Another one Of my Favorites! They Sell Ice Cream and AMAZING Fudge!

This is Biguns Crab Shack. I Experienced my First Crab Here and it was Delicious! The owner had me and My Roomates Sign Our Names On his Table :) It was Fun haha

This is the One Grocery Store in Town! It's in Very Good Shape.

Everyone in Skagway Would Gather here Every Night For Bonfires..

Good Memories on this Swing!

Del Sol.. Self Explanatory..

Klothes Rushs is the Only Store in Town that Sells Underwear ,and Socks, and Jeans.

Sad Right?

. Ali . Becca . Allyssa .

Our Converse's

Just a Picket Fence :)

All the Houses in Skagway are REALLY Old. Me and My Roomates Really Liked This Door :)

It Was Definitely Worth a Picture.

This is Where the Alaskan Marajuana is Grown hahaha jk..

Its Just a Myth that People Tell Tourists.

Our Friend Adam's Motorcycle..

This is the LDS Church. The Missionaries Actually Live inside.

Skagways Gym

Skagway is 21 Blocks Long..

And 5 Blocks Wide! Very Small huh

So Pretty..

My Camera was on Zoom Without me Knowing it You See..

Just A Big Rock. Nothing Special or Significant About it.

This is an Old, Abandoned Train in the Middle of No Where.

So of Course I Had too Climb it.

I Think Train Tracks Take Cool Pictures.

I Love Fall!

The Pictures Don't Give the Actual Scene Justice Whatsoever. All i can Say is the Mountains in the Fall are BEAUTIFUL! I really feel Blessed to be able to Be here During this Season!

Some Cheesy "Fall Leaves" Pictures... But hey. Too Pretty to Pass Up.

Needless to say, they were a wild bunch.

The next few weeks i was taken to "Drunken Pirate Parties"...And Summer Solstice Parties... We Had fun taking pictures for the Del Sol Newsletter.On the 4th of July I actually ran AND Finished a 2K...I was Extremely Proud of myself .The Parade here wasn't Nearly as good as Provo's

Me and Kendra played Ring-Around-the Rosies with the Neighborhood Children.. We Were ready for a Fantastic night!I don't think i have Ever had a Happier Face :) ...

We Danced with all the younguns...

And met People that we Have Definitely not seen Since .

And Funny Ones..
We Climbed into Weird Places...And Pulled on A mans Tail.. He wasn't too Happy..The memorable night was finished
