Memorial Day

At church on Sunday, my friend Colleen asked me if I wanted to join her and a few others to go to Ashley's cabin that was 1/2 hour away and have a bonfire that night and go jet skiing the next day. Since I was sick of doing homework and wanted to do something fun on Memorial Day, I decided to go...and I'm glad I did! We had a blast!!!!!

Sunday....

We played lawn darts...I wasn't very good at it

All 4 of us were standing something like this and Colleen said we looked like a picture of a band on the cover of their CD...so this is our band pose :) I am the lead singer, haha

This would be the boys almost sinking the paddle boat

And what's a party on the lake without a bonfire!!

And you can't have a bonfire without making s'mores :)


Monday...

We woke up and made eggs, toast, and watermelon for breakfast

Then proceeded to feed the swans...which hissed at Dan and it was hilarious

Then it was time to jet ski!!!!

Off we go....it was a ton of fun!

We chilled on a little island that was on the lake for part of the day while taking turns on the jet ski

Overall, it was a fantastic weekend with friends and a great little break from homework!!

American Idols Live Tour 2008

I know you are probably sick of seeing all my American Idol posts, but this will be the last one for awhile, I promise :)

Just thought I would share that I am going to see the American Idols Live Tour 2008 on July 24th at Joe Louis Arena!!!! I am going with my friend Ashley (roomie from this year). We are super stoked and we are excited to wear our shirts that we made too! There will definitely be pictures up of that once it happens. So Aunt Joni, I will be seeing them 2 months before you...I will let you know how it is



P.S. I got David Cook's single "Time of My Life" off ITunes...it is really good! :) Way to go Cook...even though I still love little Archuleta

And the winner is...David...Cook

Welp, it was a tough competition and both David’s did great! In the end, David Cook prevailed with a lead of 12 million votes out of 97.5 million over little David Archuleta. I was hoping for Archuleta to win, but runner-up is still fantastic. I can’t wait for both of them to make cd’s and go on tour cause I am totally going to go see David Archuleta in concert!!! Anyone want to join me? :)

A tearful and excited David Cook putting his arm around David Archuleta...good competition boys

In the Finals!

Yep, that's right...the 17 year old David Archuleta has made it into the finals for American Idol!! I am super stoked about it cause I have been rooting for him since auditions. So...next week everyone should vote for him because the competition is going to be tough against David Cook. I have faith in little Archuleta though :) He is way better than David Cook...and much cuter too!

GO DAVID ARCHULETA!!

END of spring semester 2008

It's the end of the semester!!! I had my last exam today, and now I have 1 week before I start summer classes. Here's some fun pics of today...

Stina, Ashley, and I had kitchen cleaning day today. It was pretty gross...

This is the cool foamy stuff we used to clean our oven :)

more cleaning!!

All the cleaning made us hungry, so we went to LaSenioritas for $2.99 burger and fries night. It was tasty!

Mmmm, they have GREAT burgers!!

Then it was off to the last His House of the semester...

saying good-bye to friends for the summer

Then off to get ice cream at Doozies with my lifegroup :)

I love these girls!!!!!
