Mexican Food, Thai Food, Superbowl Food, and Channing. YUMMY.

Last Friday Whit and I attempted to make Mexican rice and refried beans with homemade corn tortillas. I think it turned out pretty well, we forgot to take pictures though. Kyle Richardson, Michael Maile and his girlfriend, and Nick got to try out our creations. Everyone's alive, so I guess it wasn't that bad.

Then on Saturday my roommate Crystal invited me to her brother's show in Salt Lake City where he was going to be playing his guitar. We were going with my other roommate Lindsey and one of their friends Jocie, and then two more people came with us. Once we got there we found out ID was required, and one of the girls wasn't 21 so we had to make other plans.

We ended up going to a Thai restaurant called Sawadee. It was SO good. We all got different curries and pad thai's and just shared. But after that we didn't want to head home yet and so we decided to go to Temple Square and have Jocie and Lindsey sing and play the guitar and ukelele.

It was tons of fun listening and once we were officially frozen we got back in the car to head home. It was a good night, I'm still waiting to hear Crystal's brother play live though.

Sunday Sherry invited us up for a Superbowl Party so we went a partied with her. It's always fun to go up there and hang out with her family. Thank you Sherry!

Last night we were attempting a homework party and got invited by Jocie to go to Dear John because her friend was the manager and could get us in for free. Who doesn't love a free movie?! I had a decision to make. Study for my anatomy quiz on bones which was early Wednesday morning, or go have fun. I think we all know which one I chose. (PS, I still basically aced my quiz, so no harm done.)

The movie was great, it is a good chick flick and it was different from the book. I actually didn't mind the change, the book was more reality though. I'm in love with Channing Tatum. After the movie Lindsey and I were starving and she took me to a Mexican place here that is REALLY GOOD! It's kind of like Ramire's (the spelling on their sign..lol) in Rexburg. I am in love with it. That's all for now.

Brand New Concert/BYU game

Last Friday night Jessica Durham and I went to a concert in Salt Lake where Brand New was playing. They aren't a very well known band but it was still pretty packed. It was just an open floor so you stood where you could. Jessica and I started pretty close, about 20 feet from the stage. As soon as the opening band started we were pushed back about 20 feet, but we weren't really feeling like pushing back, so we watched the show from there. At least we tried, there was a group of about 10-15 guys who thought it would be fun to take off their shirts and try to slam their bodies into everyone, creating a big open area to increase the distance they got to run before hitting. Not cool.I almost ended up on the floor, and then a guy about 15 feet tall stood by the opening, and if someone tried to hit us, he got them back. :D So as long as I stood where I could see off his shoulder, I was good to go. It was nice having our own little body guard who no one wanted to mess with. The concert was amazing, Manchester Orchestra also played with them. They were a band that played at Lollapalooza which we went to this summer so it was fun to see them again.

(I stole these pictures from Jessica, THANKS!) She also gave me a poster with my love on it, Zac Efron. Oh baby...

On to Saturday, I coached Whit's game for her because she was at the Apple Blossom Selection. It was lots of fun, other than the other coach being a crazy psycho. But whatever, it happens.

After the game Nick, Kyle Richardson and I went and waited

for the BYU/Utah game.

We were waiting outside for about 3 hours before waiting another hour inside.

It was worth it though, we had a pretty good view for being up so high, especially with no one in front of us who was standing. The game went well, we won, so Nick was excited. After the game we went and watched When In Rome, which I thought was hilarious and the boys seemed to enjoy it. It also doesn't hurt that Josh Duhamel is gorgeous.

Sunday I had church, where we had one of the best lessons I've ever had in Relief Society. It was taught by a mom of a ward member. Last year she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and our lesson was on choosing to be happy. One thing that I found really funny was that while she was going to plastic surgery to have them reconstructed another lady there always wore a shirt that said, "Yes these are fake, my real ones tried to kill me!"

After that Joel came down and made us chicken cordon bleu which was amazing. It was fun catching up with him and I'm excited to have him down here to do more things with us. And that's the recap for my weekend. :D
