Pedal to the Metal

So my best friend and I? We like to do everything together. 
Our latest adventure? Go karting.

We drove all the way out to Tooele to go to the raceway out there, but unfortunately NASCAR was there that day and no one could get on the track for several hours. So we ended up coming back to Salt Lake and going go karting here. We still had a great time and my best friend super kicked my butt. She's Fast and the Furious. I'm Driving Miss Daisy. 

Some Things Never Change

We haven't been graduated for very long but we look for any reason to have reunions and see each other.
This reunion...was planned the night before so unfortunately not everyone could make it.
We went out for breakfast with the M&M crew. We were all in a group for Sadies our senior year and we definitely had a blast then and now.
We did breakfast at 8 in the morning. It was great getting back together. And of course our favorite thing? Chismea. We sure do love getting caught up on the latest gossip that has been happening in our lives and in our friends lives. It's crazy how much you actually miss out on even after not seeing someone only for a few weeks. 

After breakfast, those of us that could go take some pictures did. Just for fun photoshoots are some of the funnest things to do. Ever. 

Manu and I were the only couple left from the Sadies group that made it to pictures. Oh well, I guess that just means more pictures for us.

Manu still doesn't know how to give decent piggy back rides. My short arms were choking him the whole time we took this picture because he is so big my arms don't reach all the way around his neck. 

  

I love my M&M crew girls

Big Time Summer 2012

My best friend and I may not be teenagers anymore, but we sure are teenagers at heart.
We bought tickets a few months ago to the Big Time Rush featuring Cody Simpson concert here in Utah. 
I won't lie, I totally was a 16 year old fan girl. Carlos (the best looking BTR member) came 30 feet away from us when he came into the crowd. I almost cried. 

We even ran into our friend Nora who we went to junior high and high school with. She's a big BTR fan also. She even dragged her little brother with her and he became our own unofficial photographer.

Also, we have this huge obsession with buying matching clothes and this was a perfect opportunity for us to buy some new matching shirts.

First Farewell of Summer

Sometimes it's still crazy for me to think that I'm old enough to have my friends leaving on their missions. So last Sunday was the farewell of Elder Tyler Mulitalo, called to serve in the Oklahoma Tulsa Mission. We've been friends since high school and I can honestly say I have never been so proud of him as I was when he gave his talk.

After his talk there of course was the delicious Samoan food at his house. His aunties made sure that no one left empty handed. But we couldn't let the party end there. We went out for one last late night Temple jam session.

Elder Mulitalo I've had some great times with you, but one of the greatest moments will be when I get to see your face again in two years.
