life may not be the party you expected, but you might as well dance while you're here!

SNOWSHOEING jardine juniper








one of the best activities, snowshoeing! for someone who loves to hike as much as i do, it is a great winter activity. especially when you bring little baggies filled with marshmallows, cheese, and grapes!

why the boys love us.


KCACTF in LA!








this year, i had the opportunity to attend KCACTF in LA. for those of yous who are unawares of what KCACTF stands for, it is the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival. basically a bunch of designers from several states get together and have a geeky competition to see who is the biggest gee--whoops, i mean best designer. i entered my designs from a children's show entitled Alicia in WonderTierra, Or I can't Eat Goat Head. i was a little nervous, and even more UNPREPARED to compete, but i thought, ech, what the heey, i will give it a shot. to sum up the weeks events in LA and cal state (where the competition was held), i posted my designs amid lots of other designs, went outside and enjoyed the sun, ate, slept, returned the following day to give my presentation, made em laugh, saw some old theatre chums from my undergrad, ate, slept, enjoyed more sun, hung around, looked for movie stars, got on a plane back to utah, and met marie osmand at the salt lake airport (pay special attention to my celebrity potential in the photo....). all in all, i received 3rd place at KCACTF.....good show, i say.

Institute Dance! (hawaiian theme!) (i'm a theif)


"you were so right.....these decorations DO look better on us then they did on the wall."

Question of the Day, exhibit 1.

AM I A BAD ROOMATE?
2. no, because i lighten up the room with my sharp wit and glowing smile, plus i do the dishes when nobody else will.
3. yes, because i cunningly launch pretzels at roomate's forehead just before said roomate is scheduled to go on date, causing a protruding bumb on her forehead and redness and swelling around the eyes.

"I will need a doggie bag for my tooth, please."



it is the one year anniversary of the "screw in the food" incident. therefore, i think this would be the appropriate time to recount the happenings of that memorable night. i was in a one act play called "desire, desire, desire" and afterwards a group of us decided to celebrate the success of the evenings performance. we went to the villiage inn, a popular hang out spot among students and hoodlums alike. it was a wonderful moment when our food arrived (it always is, isn't it?). half way through the meal, i could hear a quiet voice across the table from me utter these words, "there is a screw in my eggs". everyone silently stared at mr. adam skousen, owner of the mysterious declaration. he said it once again, and this time, much louder, "THERE IS A SCREW IN MY EGGS!" we immediately called the waitress over to our table. after nearly two minutes of convincing her that we did not plant the screw in the eggs as a prank, she took the plate back to the kitchen. she came back and said (famous last words), "we are very sorry for what has happened. the manager would like to offer you 35% off of your meal."

WE LOVE YOU PRESIDENT HINCKLEY


YOU WILL BE GREATLY MISSED!!!!!!!!
love leslie, eryn, tiff, and megan

22 below

never in my life did i think that i would live in logan utah. but here i am....going on almost two years in this quaint, FRIGID little town. two mornings ago when i got up to catch the bus at 8:30 am, it was a reported 22 degrees below 0! here is a picture i took of tiff on our way to the bus stop. the other picture i took while emerging from work one evening! my poor hands may very well fall off my arms at any moment. i just might have to give up my career as an artist because of the lack of fingers to hold a pencil!




ICESKATING!








































this is the thing about iceskating indoors.....cute scarves, stylish hats, fancy coats, and even hot chocolate with puffy little marshmallows become completely useless frivolities. one must completely disregard everything that we've known about experiencing a "cold sport". and yet life in the dating world goes on..though, i warn you, not as fashionably. we decided to all go out and have a wicked good time. the group consisted of kyle#1, emily, tiff, brad, eryn, jon, leslie, and kyle #2.
