Clippers vs. Suns
Last night I was invited to go to my first NBA game. I went and saw the Clippers vs. the Phoenix suns at the staples center. I don't really care for either team, but chose to chear for the Suns, because Shaq was the only player I knew about. My friend brandon hooked us all up with tickets for $10. Pretty fun activity for cheap. Our seats were way up high, and everytime I would stand up I would feel sick to my stomach, so I tried to sit when possible. It was so high up, I am very afraid of heights. Oh well. Anyways a lot of my friends from my singles branch went, and we all carpooled out there. We had a whole row to ourselves, but when we got there, there was this man and his four little boys in our row, so we went a couple of rows up. About half time, some guys came and kicked us out of their seats, and they sat in those seats speciffically. I thought it was kind of rude. They could have just sat at the end. This split our group up, but it was still fun to be with everyone. Jake, Neireda, Cynthia, Aaron, Melissa, Brandon1, Brandon2, Brandon's friend TJ, Mercy, Mac, Tracy, Albert, Elizabeth, Chris and Lucas were all there. It was a really fun night. Suns won 135 to 109 I think...

My Washington Trip
On January 28th I got up at 3 A.M after a long and good night of playing Volleyball. I slept for about 2 hours, before I left to pick up my friend Chris, to start our drive up to Olympia, WA. Supposedly I got our leave time mixed up. We were supposed to leave at 6, and for some reason I had it set in my mind that it was at 4. But all was done, and so I got to Chris's house about 4ish, and he came out confused, then we decided to just leave. Which was nice, we arrived in WA around 10:30.
The next day, after sleeping for about 6 hours or so, we went to Washington's Hunting Walmart; Cabella's. It was just like "Bass Pro Shop" but Bass Pro will always be my favorite. Sorry Cabella's. Afterwards, we went to a chinese buffet, and it had to have been the worst chinese food ever! We all agreed.
On Friday, We went to the State Capital building. It isn't too far from Laura's. It was so beautiful, I loved it. Being the Artist I am, I couldn't stop the awe, and continued taking multiple pictures. While at the Capital, there was this red headed boy that was taking pictures. He started talking to me, and tried to show me up with his camera. So then I informed him of the fact that I graduated with my degree in photography, and am currently working for a studio. He seemed a little taken aback. It was pretty amusing. He turns out to be a photographer as a hobby, which I encourage, but it was just funny that he was trying to show me up. Oh good times. Later on he asked me if I had a chance to get a certain shot, and how amazing it was. I just told him no, and he was gone. Still trying even in the last breathe. Got to give him a star for that one. :) Laura took an "Engagement picture of Chris and I in front of the Capital as a joke". It is interesting. Afterwards, Laura was telling us about this restaurant that her co-workers have been in love with called "The Urban Onion". And they were right, the food was amazing! And our server was hillarious. The cable went out, so we went to rent some videos. Laura and Acie have a PS3, so we rented some blue ray movies. So my first Blue Ray I saw was a movie called "Aeon Flux" it was really good! What a good first timer.
On Saturday we went to Top Foods, and started our day with a Jamba, then went to the Mall across the street from Laura's apartment. She wasn't feeling too well, so we went home and watched a movie. And Christ played his video game.
On Sunday, it was fast sunday. Laura's ward must have been the most depressing fast and testimony meeting I had ever been too. Laura assured me it has never been that bad. lol Laura got called and set apart as the YW camp director. At first she thought it was a counselor position and felt overwhelmed after the setting apart. But I think she is going to do so well! After church Laura and I took our sunday naps, and then watched "Horton Hears a Who" on blue ray, and we had our own break the fast. It was a really cute movie. And my sister is the best cook ever!
On Monday the boys wanted to go out shooting. I have never been before, but have never really wanted to. I have never been a big fan of guns. We went out to a big open area out in the middle of no where, where people go and take objects to shoot. I will let you decide through the pictures if you think I liked it. After shooting, we went to Denny's, and the food helped settle my nerves, and helped everyone elses stomachs. You can't go wrong with a Fabulous French Toast platter. Yum. Later that night, Chris was playing his war video game, and Laura and I left to go get our nails done. Afterwards, we went to the mall and looked around. We went to those fun little picture booths. On the first one we realized that it plays back what we do inside the booth on a screen. When we exited the booth we saw a screen on the outside. We were horrified that someone may have seen it. So we went to another booth, and were trying to select a template, and the booth selected one for us. How nice of it. We were stuck with penquins. I love penguins, but we didn't want that one. To confirm our horror of the last booth, this booth was playing our recap on the outside as well. Laura recorded the videos, they are amusing. I went into a Zumiez, and got some really cute Globe black slipe on Loafers. I guess the guys in the store were flirting with me, and I had no clue. Laura had to tell me. lol yes I am oblivious.
On Tuesday, we went to Seattle WA, and went on the Seattle Pier, and took a lot of fun pictures. Everything else was mainly closing, so we went to another mall. Laura, Acie, and I were exhausted. Chris wasn't though, he enjoyed going to a book store and got a book on guns.
On Wednesday, I got the oil changed, the car washed, and we tried to go to Denny's for the free meal, and gave up when we saw the long line. We went to Walmart and I got food for the trip home, and Chris was trying to convince Laura and Acie to help him purchase a gun that is illegal in the state of California. Is this a hobby? or an Obsession? Laura and I went to the capital lake and had fun taking fun pictures, and just relaxing. We played some games, and went to the store and got some cake, and split them as our last hoo rah in Washington.
Laura and Acie were so sweet in letting me come see them. They were so nice to me and so hospitible. The trip was so great, and I can't wait till the come to see me! Love you!
