New View



Our weekend was FABULOUS! We decided it was time to change things up with our apartment so we rearranged everything. Our apartments is tiny! We have a small front room followed by a "wall" that is about an inch thick to split it from the bedroom/kitchen/bathroom. It's basically a studio apartment. Moving furniture around in one room is basically impossible because it is like a little sardine can. Since summer is on its way we decided to move all of our bedroom stuff into the front room so we can have the windows open at night to feel the breeze. Now our tv and couch are where our bed used to be.
We Spent all of Saturday moving things around, bought some curtains, and Wallah!

Festival of Colors

A couple of weeks ago, Mike and I hit the road to Spanish Fork with our friends Dallas and Adrianne and Micah and Kathy to pay homage to the Indian Gods. It was a very eventful day. On the way down we stopped at In-&-Out for burgers which were AMAZING! After that we headed to the festival. When we got there, I felt like I was at some crazy hippie party which included a temple, lamas, and a bunch of high school kids. There was a layer of colored dust caked on every surface of everything and the air was thick with corn starch and the dirt that had been kicked up by everyone. We bought our "colors" and then went up to the temple to pay our respects. The temple was full of people singing songs and dancing to drums. It was... interesting. :)
BEFORE

We went outside, threw our colors and left. After the festival, we cleaned up at Dallas and Adrianne's apartment and went to dinner at a place called 'The Roost' which was really good! While we were waiting for our table, Mike asked me for my keys so he could grab something out of the car. I told him I didn't have them. That's when I realized I had locked them in our car. So.. Mike, Dallas, and Micah told us they were going to be "men" and unlock it with a hanger that was hanging on the restaurant wall. The girls sat and watched as they tried to get it open. Then I saw one of them on a phone. Needless to say we ate dinner as the lock smith saved the day. It was such a fun day!



AFTER

EARTHQUAKE!


Yesterday at work I was sitting at my desk and my chair started shaking. At first, I thought it was one of the salesmen or lot techs shaking my chair, but then I realized that my computer we shaking too, and I wasn't touching my desk. I looked to my right and the big glass doors were opening and closing slightly. I felt really dizzy and suddenly realized we were having an earthquake. The epicenter was in Randolph which is almost 70 miles away, but it still felt pretty strong here. I hurried and texted Mike, but he said he didn't feel it. I wish he could have. It was so cool!!
