White Trash Bash part duex

So my roommates and I made a goal at the beginning of the year to throw a party a month. This one was in September and it was pretty funny. Last year I posted some pictures of a White Trash Bash and the party was actually hosted at this house. So we decided to make it an annual event for the residents of this house.

Sitting on the couch we moved to our backyard... which was right in front of the camp fire where we roasted hot dogs.
On the menu: hot dogs (bread instead of buns), pork rinds, Twinkies, jalapeno poppers, and a 5 gallon jar of cheese balls.
In our best White Trash Bash attire. (My black vest was a $1 find from D.I.)

As part of the festivities we hosted a water pong tournament. It was pretty competitive (note the angry runners up glaring in the background). These guys were our winners, and as their prize they got Macaroni and Cheese.

The roommies by the couch/fire.

It was so fun to see all of the mullets, trucker hats, cut off demin, fake tatoos, and flannel. Hopefully whoever lives here next year will keep our tradition going!

Warehouse Dance Party

A few weeks ago there was a dance party in a warehouse that a bunch of my friends and I went to. It was possibly the most fun I've had at a party ever!

Cash, Me, Caitlin, Stacia, and Marli

Can you spot me in this sea of fun? :)

Belated Birthday

So I know it's a bit late (almost 2 months), but here are some pictures of my birthday weekend. I had a bunch of family come down to help me celebrate :) Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, Nathan, Breanne, Elise, Danelle, and Tela. It was so great and thoughtful to have everyone come down!

The amazing chocolate birthday cake Grandma made
Me and my bestie


The whole gang in front of my house...
My birthday was actually on a Monday and my family left on Sunday. On my actual birthday I also went night rappelling in the rain with my roommates and some boys. If I ever get the pictures from my roommate I'll post them... most likely under another "Adventure List" title.

Mae/ Allred Concert

A few weeks ago Marli and I made a little day trip down to St. George. We heard Mae and Allred were performing on a Thursday night and decided to make a day out of it. After class I drove a company car down (yes, a Mustang Convertible!!!) So we drove down with the top down, had dinner at Olive Garden, went to the mall, and had a blast at the concert! If you've never heard Mae or Allred before, you NEED to look up some of their songs!

The warm, sunny, November drive with the top down!!! So fun! :)

Summit League Conference Tournament... so far



So we flew in to Fargo, North Dakota on Wednesday. We qualified for the conference tournament where only the top 4 teams from out conference got to compete. We have the number 3 seed. Wednesday was a full day of travel- driving to Vegas, flying to Chicago with a 2 hour layover, then flying to Fargo (which in case you were wondering is bitter cold!). Thursday we basically walked around the mall (Fargo's only real attraction), had a mini practice, and then a banquet for all of the teams.
These pictures were taken at the banquet. Obviously the top one is my team. And the bottom picture is my teammate/roommate Tara Sawyer :) We don't even get to play until tomorrow night. Another full day of waiting for us. We play North Dakota State first and WHEN we win we will be in the Championship game on Saturday night! Wish us luck!

Wheelchair Basketball

Ballin'


It's Disability Awareness week at SUU and as one of the many activities that the school provided to raise awareness, they held a wheelchair basketball tournament! Now this is harder than you think. There are real rules:
  • After every 2 "rolls" or about 6 feet you must dribble the ball.
  • You can not be rolling when you shoot
  • You cannot use your feet in any way to assist you or the ball
  • Any contact with another persons wheelchair is a personal foul
  • All other basketball rules apply (e.g. back court, out of bounds, 3 pointers)

It was so fun! And my team made it all the way to the quarter finals. Not too bad for a first timer!
