Allegiance

On this day, Saturday November 28, 2009 the Utah Utes and the BYU Cougars face each other in the most anticipated game of the season, every season. It is known as the Holy War. I have been asked numerous time who I am rooting for considering I have lived in Provo the last two semesters and do attend most of their games as well as the Utah games, but my blood runs red through and through. I will cheer for the Utes and hopefully they will win! 


Let The Battle Begin!

Thank You!

HAPPY TURKEY DAY Y'ALL!! 
Hope your day was full and bright! It was a beautiful one! I am thankful for you, for my family, my friends, snow, the place I live, a college education, and so many other things! What a great day!



(I loved this and I hope you do too!)

Rubik's Cube Extravaganza



I know that Halloween was almost a month ago and I have not posted pictures, but that is only because I don't have very good ones, just ones from my phone, but it is better than nothing!


This is the rubik's cube in progress, hand stitching those squares was not easy and was time consuming. Thanks to Mama K, things moved a lot faster





My beautiful shots right after finishing the project at 11:30 at night! It was well worth the work, but I was tired and over it at the time! And when I showed my Dad he asked well you don't look like a cube! Great Dad, great!



Finally Halloween night! This was at the end of the night, but Sally (my amazing hairstylist at 7Sundaze) did my hair all curly and big with an intercate braid in the front (cubish?), but seeing as my hair does not hold curls very well it went flat! I was one cute Rubik's Cube if you ask me!

Internship

Yes on top of everything else I got an Internship!!! It is with Utah Sports Action or "Utah's Source for High School Sports"!! This is a new website that provides all the information needed for high school athletes, teachers, fans, parents, college recruiters, and the media. It is still up and coming, but it should be great. I am really excited about promoting this website because I think it is a great resource for high school athletes and college recruiters, I wish it would have been around when I was in high school. 


What you get from the site:
- Highlight videos
- Scores and Stats
- Players of the week
- Schedules
- Pictures
- Articles (some by me!)
- Player biographies


Check it out and see what you think! I will be helping with events, advertising, promoting, writing articles, and just informing people about the site in general. So please check it out if you are interested at all!


xoxo, A

Freaky, Sneaky, Creaky, Halloween

Oh Halloween I do love you, but I haven't been able to enjoy you all that much this year because you were a little bit sneaky and snuck right up on me!
Very creepy!
I know you are in suspense and want to know what me, Ali is going to be for Halloween, I do have to top my homemade Giraffe costume from last year and I hope I can do just that.
Drum roll please......
A RUBIK'S CUBE IT WILL BE!

How you ask and why? Because it is neat and original and I hope cute and creative! Yes I am being the 80's most wanted, most talked about, most tried toy for Halloween! Oh boy what have I gotten myself into?


Pictures will show evidence of this costume after Saturday the 31st Muhahahahahaha!!

New Obsession

Currently my new obsession is Top Chef Las Vegas. If you haven't ever watched this show do! It is on Bravo every Wednesday night and it is addicting. I am not even a good cook even though I want to be, but these chefs are put to some crazy challenges and if they have one bad day.... they are sent home or as the host says, no longer in the runnings to be the next top chef (of course with emphasis on the last two words). What it trust me you will be hooked or don't if you don't want to get hooked.






The Wind in My Hair

Some people may think that driving can be relaxing, meditating, thought provoking, but seeing as I drive about 4-6 hours in 4 days, a week I can tell you driving is over ratted. As I am writing this post I am trying to think of good things about driving, things that make me happy, but honestly I can't think of any! Sure I get to listen to music (thank goodness for pandora on my iPhone), look at the beautiful scenery of i-215, Provo canyon is beautiful, but honestly driving is a time consuming, not so fun activity that I do too much of these days. I thought today, I will probably die in this car because I am in it so much, not because I will die in an accident, but I feel like I live in my car. Good thing I have named my '08 Mazda Muhammad and we have a great relationship, we are still trudging a long. I am decided to write this post because when I got home tonight after traffic, lights, bad drivers, music, and a headache I had to vent. I feel like my brain is fried and I am going full speed a head. What am I doing? I think I ask myself that several times a day and I still don't have an answer!

(I wish this is how I looked and felt while driving! That would be awesome)


 On a lighter note considering I haven't blogged in a long time here are the happenings, comings, and goings of my life:
1. I applied for an internship with Real Salt Lake doing Marketing/Promotions
2. I will officially be a college graduate as of May 2010
3. Dating up a storm (though dating is hard)
4. I finally did learn how to drive a clutch on my road trip with Liz to Boulder Colorado to see Connor
5. I got a new, super cute Nikita snowboard jacket
6. We decided what we are going to be for Halloween (Old Skool Basketball Players, I did want to be a rubics cube, maybe one night I can be! I have great ideas.)
7. Fall is still in the air, but I want it to snow so I can be up on the slopes
8. Saturday: BYU vs. TCU and UTAH vs. AIR FORCE, what a college game day
9. I am trying to figure out what to do with my life once I become a responsible adult and about of the real world society (aka: not in school anymore yikes!)
10. Working on things!


Love you all and I hope you have a happy hump day (Wednesday that is)! Only means the weekend is a couple of days away and I just can't wait!
