christmas outing

Friday night Krissa and I went to Tempe Marketplace with our friend Samantha Grace. It was a pleasant evening! We shopped a little, ate a little, then enjoyed some "snow" (that was really bubbles) Later we went and met a friend from work and saw Matt Weddle play at Borders. It was quite a treat!
Here are some pictures of that night..

I love huge trees with abnormally large ornaments

I love the colorful scarves at Gap

I love my friends

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Cute dress we found

Outside of boutique

and in the dressing room...

Aprons

Yeah... I was a part of that

Thursday night we participated in something amazing...yes... we attended the midnight showing of TWILIGHT!!! Those present were, Krissa, mom Becky, Tylon, Shay, mom Tiffany and Sydney and 8 theaters full of Twilight lovers such as ourselves. It was a blast!! Tylon, being a sweet guy, went and waited in line for us until we arrived right when they were letting us go in and sit in the theater. So there we sat... waiting for the movie that we had been awaiting for months that felt like years.. We took some pictures to commemorate the blessed occasion and chatted it up for 4 hours before the movie started.. It was a blast.. girls screaming for the title..then when Edward came on the screen... okay who am I kidding I was just as giddy!! Gosh.. he is just sooo HOTT!! (yeah, double 'T' worthy) Over all I think it was fantastic.. and it was even better the second time around! Yup... I saw it twice.. Double the pleasure..double the fun! And you can bet your bottom dollar that I will see it a few more times!

Riddle me this... why do I get as defensive about this movie as I do about my religion.... that, my friends, is commitment..or obsession..whichever way you want to look at it..

Then Saturday night for the 2nd time...

Kelly Minor is now Kelly Nichols

We attended Kelly's Wedding reception on Saturday night.. It was fun, and boy-o-boy Kelly was gorgeous!! Jeremy (her husband) is one lucky fella!!

We got to get a photo of us ladies at the reception...

Celebrating Kelly's Ending of Singleness

November 1st we celebrated the ending of single womanhood for Kelly!

We finally got to use all of the cute stuff that Krissa and I (The Oh Snaps Sisters) have been making for the past while!! It was soo fun!! It started out with Krissa and I picking up the Bachelorette and then heading over to Cheesecake Factory to meet all the girls there. After that we made our way to Samantha's place and munched on Fondue and opened some quite interesting and questionable gifts. We played Pin the bow tie on the bachelor.. Can you say.. risque.. :) Suzi brought her little baby and we all got a turn holding him!!

Here are some pictures from the night!

The Fondue Spread

I have to add this so you know just how much of a goof I am

I tried on the sash and tiara we had for Kelly.... and liked it a little too much

Weezer!!!!!

This weekend I saw the best concert I have seen in my whole 21 years of life!! I went to the Arizona State Fair with Zach Walters to see Weezer. (Angels and Airwaves played before them.) It was pretty amazing.. I am still in shock.. There was a part of the concert that Rivers lived one of my dreams.. he started jumping on a small trampoline during one of the songs.. It is one of my dreams to be in a rock band and jump on a trampoline during a show... I have no idea where I got that from, just have always wanted to do it..

It was soo much fun!! I laughed so much and had a wonderful time!! Thanks to Zach for going with me and picking me up in his car that feels like you're in the Batmobile!

Rockband2 Live Tour

Last night was the Rockband2 Live Tour, which Krissa bought us tickets to for my Birthday. The bands that performed there were, The Cab (don't really know them) Plain White T's, Dashboard Confessional, and Panic at the Disco. We were really close to the stage and had great photo opportunities! Between bands, they set up Rockband2 and had various people that competed earlier to play during the concert, go up and play on a corner of the stage and have their three minutes of fame. Also.. someone in front of me took off their shoes and it was smellin' bad! So I had to breathe that in while trying to enjoy the music...(and who let's these little kids that could not have been more than 13 years old go to concerts and be out that late on a school night??? Geez!) But it was all worth it!! I think one of my most favorite parts was when Dashboard Confessional played their set.. but specifically when they sang El Scorcho by Weezer. (gives me chills:) Here are some pics from this most magical of nights...

Weekend

This weekend was a full one.. It was conference weekend! I love that we are so blessed to hear from our leaders of our church through this special broadcast twice a year. I love that you hear things you need to hear at that moment in your life.
Also, Krissa, her mom and I went garages sailing and I found a frame I will be doing something with, I will post before and after pics soon!! Krissa picked up a piece of pottery that she knew I would love!! And she was right! LOVE IT!! Thank you!!

Then we went shopping Saturday night and I found a lot of treasures!! One of which was this apron.. I have decided this will be the inspiration for my kitchen!!

Tucson Trip

Krissa and I went to Tucson this weekend to visit her sister-in-law Callie. It was nice to get away and have a ton of fun!! While there, we went shopping and had a few seriously hilarious conversations!! Here is a picture of us all in the car while out shopping..

Lips~Lips~Lips

Last weekend I hung out with Krissa and Shay and we decided it would be fun to try some lip plumper and take before and after pics to see if it really worked.. Unfortunatley we couldn't get Jadon to try it with us! haha!
Here are my before and after pictures...(It was really hard not to laugh while we were getting the picture taken.. HILARIOUS!)
Before..sad..non-plump lips..

After...stinging, plump and voluptuous lips..


Yes, I said stinging. It was stinging so much and tasted like we rubbed those fireball candies on them. But I guess beauty really is pain. :)
Then things got a little crazy as we continued with a photo shoot of crazy faces... Ahh good times! Gotta love these girls!
