Conference Weekend

Ok so two weekends ago, I went to a thing called Festival of Colors. A lot of students here go to the festival of Colors and basically everyone throws colored chalk at each other. It probably sounds like a weird thing to do but it was fun. However it was one of those things that was fun to do but I would never do again...lol. It was a fun social thing but chalk went up my nose and in my eyes and it felt like chalk went in my lungs. My friends all agreed that I got the most chalk on me. It kind of looks like I have a disease :) Oh and now my shirt (which was black) is now pink, yellow and a little bit green.

So this weekend Casey and Lynette came to visit me (the fact that conference was here may have encouraged them to come too). So we stayed at my aunt Vernita's house and I had so much fun. I haven't seen them for like a year and it's been even longer for lynette. Of course I took on the roll of entertaining my cousin Julia's kids. They are so adorable. Below is a picture of them riding the horsey :) The older boy, Sterling, kept telling me that it was his turn to be the horsey, but I don't think he realized how big I was. I was able to get Casey, Lynette and me tickets to the last session of conference so we got all dressed up and took the train from Vernita's house to Salt Lake. It was the first time that I have ever been on a train so it was pretty exciting for me. The conference center is so huge. Casey said it looked like The Great and Spacious Building so after the session Casey insisted that we go to the top level. He stood at the edge of the balcony pretending to mock the people going into Temple Square. Get it? Yeah he thought he was pretty funny...haha. And last of all here is a picture of Vernita, Faith, Lynette and me. Now you can see where i get my beauty from ;)

I am jealous that you all got to get together. You all look beautiful, well the chalk-face is a different kind of beauty.

That sounds so much fun. I can just imagine Albert. It reminds me of the French people in the movie, "Monty Python; Search for the Holy Grail."
