Aunt Babes

Let's take a moment and reflect on how cute my nephew is...

Enrique Jesse

He will be visiting in July with my sister! YAY!

The infamous BYU GAME

My birthday was the 24th. I knew the BYU vs. #4 ranked San Diego basketball game was coming up. I called my dad to see if he would give me his tickets for my birthday.... He and Jace laughed at me... YEAH RIGHT.

Dang it!

I knew it was going to be a good game so I really wanted to go. Finally, when I thought I had given up the DAY of the game, my boyfriend, Chris (whome I loveeeee) called me and told me he got us tickets for my birthday! Yaaay!

I was extactic! I was even able to wear my NEW vintage BYU sweater Jace gave me for my birthday.

Chris and I before the game

It was a really close game all the way through. We sat at the very very tip toppiest row. But I didn't care! I was just so glad I could go. It was fun so see all the fans and people-watch through-out the game during timeouts. The crowd was LOVIN' IT!!

We finally pulled ahead at the end and ended up winning. YAY! Everybody was freaking out. The cops put up a rope bordering the court to try to prevent fans from storming the court. It failed miserably. We were cracking up watching the fans try to storm the court and run into the rope like a glass door they didn't see. Or, jumping over the rope and tripping. Watching the cops chase after a couple of the fans chasing them around the court. It was really funny.

Chris and me after we won and the fans stormed the court

It turned out a REALLY fun night. Thank you Chris for the tickets!

Christmas Sweater

I just bought this sweet sweater for my boyfriend on E-bay. Yes, I know it's ugly. DUH! That's the point! It's so riduculous it's fabulous!

Wanna know how much I bid for this sucker? $10.49. And I won. WOOT WOOT!

Famous?

I was featured on the highly popular blog Ruffling Feathers this week! I've known the writer of the blog (Emily Frame) for about 10 years. Her husband, Russ, lived with us while he was in High School and is Jace's best friend.

I'm starting to build up my clientele for my Massage Therapy business and told Emily that if she featured me on her blog, I would give her a free massage. (If your interested in that deal let me know.) But it's been exciting getting calls from people to schedule an appointment and getting my name out there.

Want to schedule a massage? I offer extremely affordable rates and it's literally a STEAL! Book now while my rates are still low!

30 minutes: $25
60 minutes: $35

Tacos anyone?

So don't worry the AIR CONDITIONING decides to go out the hottest week of the year.

My mom is visiting Angela (who was induced tonight) and the day after she leaves, this happens.

The house is a sweltering 87 degrees. I'm dying. Abby's dying. It's the PITS. (no pun intended)

Obsessed.

So... I am obsessed with Forever 21. Every single day the add at least 20 new items to their inventory and don't worry I check every single day.

I love looking for modest clothes. It makes me happy when I find something. (Some things you have to wear with a cami underneath or leggings but you get the idea)

Here are some of my favorite finds.

TMI?

So, I have been thinking a lot lately. There are a lot of things I don't post on this blog (personal things.) Things about me, what my family is going through right now, to what life is like to be me. Because I'm different then most people. This is something I would talk about in the blog is how I'm different.

I have been thinking about slowly starting to share these things on this blog. Because they could help other people. However, I worry about sharing too much. I don't want to say something that might hurt someone close to me but I feel like this could be a good way for me to heal.

What should I do????? Should I share all of this information with people and my feelings on it and get really personal???? Or no? Do people not really WANT to know what's going on.

I need advice.

Leave a comment and let me know.

PS
Stay tuned. This blog could getting pretty intense here pretty soon.

Wedding Invitations or BUST

As many of you know my brother is getting married to the beautiful Jenne Gampe on May 22nd. I have spent the last couple of days helping them get their wedding invitations finished. There were 400 and they took FOREVER.

The worst was having to peal the double sided tape off.

We estimated Jace spent about $150 on double sided tape.

Then, with only 50 invitations left we realized you could buy Western Family Double Sided Tape for only $2.50 compared to the $6.50 Jace was paying.

Poor Jace.

I'm curious what everyone spent on their wedding invitations.

The debate

So I'm dying here. My whole life I went without drinking soda. Then, when I started school I started drinking Dr. Pepper to stay awake... and I have become

A-D-D-I-C-T-E-D!

I went to the gym for the first time in a long time, and I have gained weight since I started drinking Dr. Pepper. Granted, I haven't gone to the gym as much. But I'm not loving this at all.

So, yesterday I tried Diet Dr. Pepper. I didn't like it as much but it wasn't bad. I've heard the debate of Diet vs. Regular and so now I'm wondering.... which one should I drink? I think Dr. Pepper tastes better, but is it making me gain weight??? WHAT DO I DO!?!?! HELP!!!

Utah Hair

We've all seen it.

We wondered who told them they looked good that day.

So, I'll admit, if a Utah hair were to ask me, I'd tell them they looked hot....

... but for my entertainment purposes only.

When I grow up

Okay everyone.

So... I am pretty much DONE with school. I just have one more class to finish and I will be done-zo. Miss Candy Anderson will be an official Licensed Massage Therapist.

Would you have guessed this is what I would have ended up doing?!? No, me neither.

People ask me all the time, "Why did you want to become Massage Therapist?"

So let me give you some background....

When we are little, some will ask us,

"Dear little Sally, what do you want to be when you grow up?!"

You might have replied some of these things: A doctor, a fire-fighter, judge, lawyer, policeman, nurse, chef, teacher.... etc.......

What would I reply?

"A mom!"

Yes, call me a cheesy, dorky, nerdy, mormon girl... but it's true.

As I got older I became confused in school when they were talking about careers and "mom" wasn't an acceptable answer. But, as I got older I understood the importance of education.

Nobody expects divorce. But it happens. What if at some point I were married and something were to happen to my husband? How would I provide for my family?

I've always been interested in Massage. When I was in High school I looked up on websites how to massage people because my family would always come to me asking me to get a knot out here or massage their hand etc...

About a year ago it hit me. Why not a massage therapist? I could basically support (whenever or if ever the time comes) my husband while he goes to school off of my salary working at a spa. When I wanted to start a family I could start my own private practice. Hopefully, there could come a point where I could be a stay-at-home-mom but it would be nice to know that if times ever got tough I could start taking more client's... etc. If "Jimmy" has a baseball game... I just don't schedule an appointment.

That is why I decided to become a massage therapist. Because, it's a good career to have and be what I want more than anything in the world, a mom [someday]

What did you want to be when you were little????

This song and me.

Sooooooooo..................................... um........




Yep, it's over. I do know that it is right and that it is supposed to be that way.
I just have faith.





But................. for now, I am going to be pathetic and feel sorry for myself.... ;-)

.........................and that means listening to cheesy Rascal Flatt songs!

Festival of Colors

Last week I had the chance to experience (for the first time) the "in" thing to do as a Student here in Provo, Utah--Attend the Festival of Colors.

If you don't know what this is, here is an article explaining a bit of what it's about.

Thousands chanting, flowing robes, and an ornate Hare Krishna temple. You might think you were in India or another country from the Far East. Utah Valley probably wouldn’t be the first place to come to mind.

But every year, the Sri Sri Radha Krishna temple in Spanish Fork celebrates the beginning of Spring with the Festival of Colors, or Holi, as it’s called by the Krishna devout.

The festival is open to everybody, and practicing Krishnas find themselves a small minority in the crowd. On Saturday thousands from the surrounding area, including BYU and UVU students, gathered to celebrate.

The big draw at Holi isn’t the bonfire or the band, but the multi-colored powders thrown over everyone at the festival. After the recitation of a traditional Krishna story, the effigy of a mythical witch is lit on fire, and an explosion of colors engulfs the crowd.

People attending Holi buy bags of the powder in pink, yellow, orange, blue, green, and almost any other color imaginable. When the time is right, nobody is safe from the colors getting in clothes, hair, and faces.

Here are some of my pictures me and my friends took.
