Fremont St...Not Just for Hookers

I did it!!! I finally did the Zipline down Fremont Street in Vegas. I have wanted to do it for a while, but just never really had the time. I went to Vegas with the PBL club for business tours and a few of us just had to try it out. Here are a few pictures from our trip! Enjoy!!

Why You Go To Kansas...

I bet you all are dying to hear how Kansas went! Turns out there is more to do there than you would think. Here is a quick recap. We went to the Toy and Miniature Museum, which, as you can guess, was filled with miniature doll houses and other small things. It also had a Barbie collection, Teddy Bear collection, and some other random things. It was very cool to see actually. We also went to the Jazz Museum, because I really do like jazz music. It was so cool!!!! We danced to some Nat King Cole, remixed some Louise Armstrong, and rocked out to lots of other artists. Did you know Kansas has some of the best barbecue in the US? I didn't, but they do!!! We also met some of Kate's (that's the friend I was visiting) crazy friends...crazy in a good way though. We had a blast playing games.

Random fact: Until that trip, I had never listened to an entire Justin Beiber song. They forced me to listen to one, so now I have to say that I have never WILLINGLY listened to an entire JB song! Other things we did: Went to the Brown vs. Board of Education museum, decorated her aunt and uncle's house for valentines day, and watched my first episode of Modern Family...which was great!! All-in-all it was a very fun trip! Thanks Kate for the great visit.

Let the Challenge Begin...

Let me tell you something that is not on my list of things to do/try; becoming overweight. That was never a plan for me. Unfortunately I associate the gym with things like getting hit by a car and breaking bones...not things I really like to do either in case you were wondering. But since I have been noticing that my pecks have seemed to turn into man boobs in the past month and I am finally starting to understand the term spare tire, I've decided that it is time to get back into the whole eating well and exercise thing.

Some of you may have noticed that I posted on Facebook a DTLS No Sugar Challenge. It is a challenge my friend and I did a little bit ago that I am resurrecting. I have to go 3 months without eating any junk food type sugar...all natural stuff like fruit and honey. It is going to suck!! The greatest thing, once I posted the challenge on Facebook, I went and made a large pan of Rice Krispy Treats...best thing EVER!!! So tomorrow is "D" Day, and if anyone wants to join in just let me know and I'll send you the details.

Maybe this can help accomplish my goal to get an awesomely fit body...we shall see...one step at a time!

Why Would Anyone Want to Go to Kansas?

So I have a great friend who lives in Kansas. I know what you're thinking, who lives in Kansas...right? I thought the same thing when she moved there! Nevertheless, I am going there in one week and I am actually really excited.

This is what we got with our tokens

Anyone who knows me knows that I love any new experience, so this is perfect. Some of the things I want to do while there are to visit Liberty Jail (if you are LDS you know why, if not just ask me about it!), and a Harley Davidson Factory tour (if you're a man you know why, if not don't ask me about it!). There are a ton of other things that sound cool...surprising I know. I will keep you posted on the excitement the trip provides.

This months goal of going on a date each week is going fairly well. I took my friend McCall out on a truly kid-like date; mini-golfing, arcade games, frozen custard, kite flying, and playing with one of those balloon things that have a rubber band on the end. We really took it back to the old school style and had a blast!

Lets see what happens this week...What are you going to do this week?

Someday I'll Understand Women...or not...

I started Martial Arts classes! I thought I was going to die, but I learned how to get out of a headlock using a pressure point on someones nose, how to throw combination punches, and that I am more out of shape than I thought! Lets hope these classes help me get that awesome body I want before I accomplish the "falling in love" stage of my somedays.

So one Someday down! Did you know one of the only place in the US you can ride an elephant is in Virginia? Looks like I will need to book a trip there...I'm thinking summer time.

Next item of business...I am going to work toward the whole "falling in love" thing. Confession: it has been a while since I've been on a date. So, I am going to spend the month of February going on one date a week. I'll let you know how it goes...have to start somewhere right!

Anyway, I found the information for those, like my professor Ellen Treanor, who want to go scuba diving in Costa Rica. Here are the best links I found for getting info:
