3 Day Weekend!!!

What a fabulous 3 day weekend I have had so far! Friday was what seemed to be the longest day this semester, just because I covered someones shift at work, so I had 3 classes in a row and then about 6 hours of work. Finally it was 5 and I got to go home. When I got home I got all ready, and then we went bowling. It was so much fun, I haven't been bowling since I have come to college, and there are like 3 bowling alleys here in the burg! So anyway, I didn't do amazing when we played regular, but then the 2nd time we did skittles bowling, and I kinda rocked at that. I picked red skittles ALL THE TIME, and that was bowling with your opposite hand, at first it was hard, but then I got a strike with my left hand! I felt pretty accomplished! Then we went to my friend Maddogs apartment and we watched The Blind Side!

Saturday was a nice and relaxing day. I slept in for like ever, and then I got my homework done, talked to my family on the phone, and just hung out! It was nice to have a relaxing day off! Then Aubrey's friend was coming to visit us from Michigan, and she needed to be picked up from the airport, so we took a trip to IF and picked up Alisha, and then we went to the Olive Garden! My favorite part was the guy down from us looked just like Toby from the Office, so I took a pic of him and sent it to Keri and told her it really was Toby. Then I convinced her to that there was a famous people convention in town and was telling her all the different famous people I saw... I'm pretty sure she knew that I was kidding, but she went along with in, and it was so funny!!!!!!! I love her!

Sunday was also a super nice day. We went to church, came home and took a nap, made dinner for my roommates (we had plate tacos) and then we watched Saints and Soldiers! At the end of that movie, we started to watch Forever Strong, but then our FHE brothers came by and asked if we wanted to watch it with them. So we went over to there place and watched it there! Also, I signed up to be on the 44th ward softball team, I'M SO EXCITED!!! I love softball!!!

Then today, I woke up late again, watched some home-decorating shows, and got ready for the day. Later we have a BBQ to go to, and then I might study for a midterm... (maybe!) But ya, I love having this time off just to relax, and its been amazing!!! :D

One Whole Year

I cannot believe that it has been a whole year since I graduated high school. Looking back at it it seems just a few weeks ago. So much has happened since then! One of my favorite things to do at the end of a year is go through and make a little diagram of the huge events that have happened in my life since then! So I thought I would do that again.

After I graduated, the next biggest thing that happened was Summer '09. I went to Ohio (twice) and California. I saw Wicked (which was the best show ever!), and the David + Demi tour. Then I turned 18! WOOHOO! Yay for being an adult! Shortly after that, I MOVED TO IDAHO!!!

While in Idaho, live moved super duper fast. Before I knew it, it was November. I went home for Thanksgiving. In a way it was like I never left, but at the same time, I knew that AZ was no longer my home, and that I was supposed to be in Idaho. Like right after that, I got hired at the health center, and then after that, I MET DAVID ARCHULETA! And then it was Christmas! And oh what a glorious Christmas that was! My favorite part was definalty the after Christmas shopping that I got to do with Keri and Natalee!

Right after that I was back for my off-track Winter semester. I worked a bunch, took classes at night, and snowboarded all the time! Basically it was one of the best 4 months of my life. I was kinda board during this semseter, but now that I'm busy again, I look back and wish I had done more with my life then sleep in and snowboard. (not that I regret either of them, there was just more I could have been doing.)

This semester included some fun memories, like meeting Brooke White, going to Park City with the family, and surprising Keri for her birthday! What a great time! After that semester I got to spend Spring Break at my grandparents house and I got to see my sister Angell and her little kiddos. I love them so much!

And then before I knew it, it was Spring Semester, and I'm half way done with my sophmore year at college. I am crazy busy, and working all the time, but life has NEVER been better. I can't remember a time where I have been happier in my life. Like honeslty, I'm not just saying that! My roommates make me happy, my classes are going well, I get along with EVERYONE at work, and life has just been amazing lately! So ya! Thats basically it!

1 year since High School and life is going good!!! :)

Saturday is a Special Day!!!

What a wonderful day! It started with me sleeping in until about 11:00!!!! Amazing! Then I jumped out of bed and ate some breakfast, got all dressed up, and went to the temple with Aubrey! Then we got home and did a little homework. I wasn't crazy busy this weekend since I had 2 tests and a quiz to take this week, so I had less homework! I was originally planning on taking both tests today, but then I decided not to put them off, so I did my business on Thursday, and my accounting quiz and science test on Friday. I did great on both my business and accounting exams, unfortunately, someone ticked me off at work and I went into my science test with a really bad mood and ended up not doing so great. I have never gotten a C on a test before, and was SUPER upset when I saw that as my grade. Stupid C.... Anyway, back on track here, so since I didn't have a ton of homework or anything to do today, we went and spent the day at the park. It was an amazing day, the weather was PERFECT! It was the kinda day where if I was living in AZ with this weather I would wear a sweatshirt, but today I wore shorts and flip flops and laid outside in the sun! I loved it! We decided that we need to go to the park at least once a weekend! And we also made a list of things we need next time we go. Like today we had sodas from Horkleys, but next time we are also going to get a pizza from Little Ceasers, and a Frisbee. Also we need more blankets, because there were 5 of us trying to fit on 1! haha. But ya, it was the best. I need sunglasses though so I can lay down and have my face in the sun without my eyes dying. Aubrey let me use hers for a bit, and that was way nice of her. I just layed there for the longest time! I loved it! While we were at the park I crossed the street and went to Jimmy Johns for lunch/dinner! It became a picnic! So much fun!

After this we came home and went to Stake Conference where we were blessed to hear some AMAZING talks, and tomorrow our Stake Conference broadcasted from Salt Lake for the entire eastern side of Idaho, so that should be good too!

After that we went to our FHE brothers place and played some games! It was such a great day!

So ya, here are some pics from the park!



This funny little boy was just standing there staring at the girl taking a nap. She woke up and he still just kept looking at her. It was so funny!



Aubrey eating her Jimmy Johns day old bread, its only 60 cents for a whole loaf! :D

Comedy Improv Night!!!

So since the semester started, I have had tickets for the comedy improv show that Kirby Heyborne is in!!!! Then when I got on my facebook this morning I had a message from my Uncle Todd saying that if I find Gracia Taylor she could hook me up with some Kirby time! She runs his website, and is also my Aunts friend. So they let her know that I was going to be there, and when I found her today, I told her who I was and she gave me a hug! Then I asked her if I could meet Kirby, and she said ya, so she called him, and he didn't answer. So she said she could find me after the show and hook me up. But then I went and took my seats, and she came and found me. She did that wavy thing for me to come follow her, and we went downstairs to the basement and told me to wait outside. So then he comes out, and is like... Hi, I'm Kirby! And I was like... I KNOW!!! Then I asked her why he follows my blog, and he said it was because I was such a sweet girl. I was like... How did you find it? Do you stalk me? And he said that he does! haha! So then I ask him to sign my CD, and he signed it... Tara, I love you and your blog. Kirby! then I was like, I have a camera, can I get a picture? And he took it from me and said that he was really good at this, so he reached his hand out, hugged me, and took the picture. It didn't work at first because it was a video... Then we fixed it and he took a pic. He asked me if I was going to this first show and I said ya, and then I told him after that we were going to see Iron Man, which he is going to see tomorrow! (In the comedy show he talked about seeing Iron Man... hahah!!!) Then he told me to have a good show... and I was like, no YOU have a good show! So I hugged him and I went to his show.

Then the show was absolutely hilarious! It was Who's Line is it Anyway, but BETTER! I can't even describe how funny it was because you just had to be there. So then after the show there was this meet and great.

Funny story, he actually met my roommates in the MC today while I was at work, so when he saw them he said, hey I met you! And then I was like... These are my roommates, and he was like... WOAH!!! He asked us if we liked the show and how funny it was.

Then we went and got pictures with Corbin Allred, that hottie on Saints and Soldiers, and then we got a picture with Lincoln, the weird-o from The Singles Ward.

After this whole thing, we went to see Iron Man 2! It was so good!!!

Now here's the pictures!!!
