new favorite things

So much to say!

Ok soooo...this past week was me and my best friends trip to Portland to see LADY GAGA! Holy freaking cow...it was just amazing!

So we left early wednesday morning and made pretty good time. We stopped at Multanomah Falls to see the way cool water fall. It looked like a mystical fairy land...Chantal had never seen it so we had to stop! We got to Portland and got to our hotel and just hung out for a while. We watched a movie actually :] We got dinner at this sweet pizza place called Old Town Pizza. Apparently this place used to be part of an old old hotel and its haunted! I guess one of the slave girls that worked at the hotel in the early 1900's "fell" (but i guess people think she was pushed) down an elevator shaft and its said that her soul never left the hotel. So now its this crazy good pizza restaurant that still has all of the old furniture from the hotel. It was super cool. After dinner we walked around downtown PDX and ran into this gelato shop called Mio Gelato. SO AMAZING! They have Japanese green tea gelato. it was the most amazing tasting thing in the world! We ended up going back there another time it was so good :] After gelato we found a cute little second hand store and just shopped around for a while. We finally got back to the hotel and went to bed!

So the second day we were there we got up and had some breakfast. After we got around we went to get some lunch at Sushi Land...oh my gosh so cool! It's like...a sushi bar and my whole meal all together was $7.00. It was amazing! then we got some more gelato :] and headed to the zoo! The zoo was fun but it was packed and it was HUGE! My feet killed after we were done. So when the zoo was over we had to trek back to the hotel and start to get ready for the concert!!! It took us seriously forever to get ready but we looked hot if i do say so myself :] We finally got to the Rose Quarter (where the concert was) and we got inside and forgot our debit cards....we both kicked ourselves because we both needed to get a t-shirt!!! We talked to a few people and they all said that we weren't allowed to go out and come back in. We finally talked to the supervisor of the whole damn show and he let me out to the car. THANK GOODNESS! we got out shirts and got to our seats! and then...the show began! some weirdo band opened for Lady G...Semi Precious Weapons. I guess she used to open for them when they were just starting out so i guess thats cool but they weren't that great. Lady Gaga was a whole different story! The show was so freaking amazing i can't even describe it! I'm still in shock! Her outfits were awesome, her dancers were awesome, her singing was awesome, everything was awesome! I'm just so glad we did that! There were some weirdo people there though! I mean i guess i expected some crazy people but that exceeded my expectations! some many crazies! After the show we got back to the hotel and then went to sharis to eat haha. We got back and passed out.

In the morning we got up and ate and then basically took off. We got home at like...6 so we made pretty good time again. I had such a crazy good time! We took so many wrong turns, ate so much gelato, and sang our hearts out WITH lady gaga! It was a once in a lifetime thing. Loved it!

On another note, tomorrow is my first day at BSU....i'm kind of freaking out. I'm not really sure what to expect. I mean i know how the whole class thing goes i'm just not sure if it will be different at BSU than it was at ISU. It kills me that im not in pocatello right now though
kylie. Sad :[ But i am having lunch tomorrow with my new friend Madeline! So i'm look forward to that for sure!

Anyway! Yesterday and today mark and i checked out some apartments and Gus ate a hung cookie shaped like a duck...great. He better not puke on my tonight. the little turd! I suppose that's it for tonight... wish me luck tomorrow! Until next time..Love you bestie :]

bleh

I'm so dang tired but i decided i should still write something. This week was good. Just work and hanging out. I went shopping with my grandma and Chantal and got some cute new outfits! Mark and I went to a Boise Hawks baseball game on friday which was super fun. They didn't win but we had good seats and it was a good time. That was also our "15 month anniversary"! Yay :] Saturday i worked and then Mark and I went to his cousins house for dinner. After we went to Marks friend Kyle's birthday. It was a redneck party and it was pretty fun :] Today we went to Boise to the boise state campus to check out where my classes will be. Ugh...such a huge campus. Luckily most of my classes are close together. We also went to see Dinner for Shmucks tonight. Sorry but it was not as good as i thought it would be. They showed all the funny parts in the commercials...

This week (wednesday) Chantal and I leave for Portland for a few days to go see LADY GAGA! I'm so so so excited! The next blog post will have lots of details and pictures :]

Until next time...

Miami Shore?

Sunday Post

Well I'm sitting here watching The Jersey Shore thinking that these people are freaking crazy..but i can't stop watching. And i also don't understand why they're in Miami but it's still called the jersey shore. Weeeird. Anyway. This week has basically been nothing. Working i suppose. My family went out for my grandpa's birthday on wednesday which was fun. Other than that i didn't really do anything fun. This weekend my family and mark and i went to the yellow pine harmonica festival. It's a music contest in Yellow Pine, Idaho (population 30...not kidding) that goes on all weekend. People from all over the place come and play music and eat greasy food and drink too much. It's so much fun. I had a blast. We took Gus and i was really worried that he was going to bark at everything so i bought him a bark collar. Sadly it shocks him but he has learned really fast that barking is painful so he has almost completely stopped barking. I'm so happy! He was so great this weekend. I'm so proud of my little man.

I bought my books today for my classes. UGGGH. So much money!! Im starting to get really nervous about school. I don't know my way around. I don't any people. I don't know I don't know I don't know. I need Kylie :[ Just to let you know Ky i've started a calendar for when mark and i are coming to visit :]

I LEAVE NEXT WEEK FOR LADY GAGA!!!
Until next time :]

busy busy


Yes, i did forget to write last sunday. I'm not even sure if anyone reads these any way so i felt like it was ok if i skipped one sunday. Last week was just work but the weekend was super fun. Mark and I went to Bend, Oregon...actually Sunriver, Oregon for his family reunion. My family reunions consist of maybe 30-40 people...his are 75-95 people! So I had my work cut out for me. I feel like i did a pretty great job of remembering peoples names. I had a great time. We went horse back riding and canoeing which was really fun. I got mega sunburned but oh well. It was a quick trip but i had such a good time meeting his family. I hope i'm still around for the next one :] This past week was good. Just working like crazy and trying to get things ready for the upcoming school year. I got into most of the classes i need at BSU. So now im in English 278, History 111, Education 201, and Theater 100 (not excited about that one)...I just need to get into Math 257 and I'm set. Yesterday Mark, Gus and I drove to Pocatello to see my dad and brothers and everyone just for a little bit. I miss them :[ Actually i miss Pocatello. ISU has been so great and I just feel like leaving is putting a huge hole in my life. I don't regret my decision to move back home and be closer to family and mark..i just wish i wasn't leaving everything else. I don't know what to do...I suppose im going to give this semester at BSU a shot and see what happens. I can always go back...and i feel like i already want to. I need guidance :[ There are so many things going on right now and i just feel like it shouldn't be this hard. It's not even school time yet and i'm freaking out about school. I don't think im going to like BSU...it's depressing.

Until next time...
