Charity Ball and Auction

Last Friday night we went to the Charity Ball and Auction that was held in the Provo City Library Ballroom. It was beautiful and we had a great time. I don't know how many of you I told about this event but it is something that I got involved in this past semester through a friend in one of my classes. A few years ago some students here at BYU started a group called Students Giving Back. They work with the United Way and put on this event to raise money for children in the area. I did some work on the blog (thanks for your help Gwen!) and I am currently working on a Micro-franchise report for it. We are going to present it to United Way and our hope is that other students across the nation can put on the same kind of event.

Ward March Madness
There are a few benefits to being ward activities co-chair. We put on a 3 on 3 basketball tournament for this months activity. We had a good turn out and it just so happens that my team won! After it was over I did decide that it is hard to be in charge and play at the same time. Luckily I had a few great friends that helped run the tournament. If you can't tell my team even had matching shirts. These were some shirts that a few girls made for these boys and their intramural team last semester. The shirts have their names on the back and it just so happens that one of the guys on the team has a great last name...Andersen. He even spells it correctly so it work out really well. I played with Bryce Johnson and Kari Olsen.

Have I said anything about how much I love arranging flowers?

One of the assignments for my floral design calls was to do a silk floral arrangement. So I decided to fulfill my assignment by making a summer arrangement for my mom's dining room table. I spent about an hour trying to pick out flowers and then a few hours Friday night putting it together. The final product was not what I had envisioned in my head but I think that it turned out pretty well. I also decided to help Ann pick out flowers and make one herself. It is so much fun!

Finally a post...
I am afraid that it has been a very long time since I have posted on my blog. I am not sure that anyone even looks at it anymore. But for those who still may take a look now and again here are a few pictures from my life.

First of all...I love my floral design class! Today we learned how to do bridal bouquets. They are so fun. For my class I also have to be able to identify a long list of flowers. So as you can imagine I look at flowers a whole new way and it is wonderful.

A while back Eliza and I went to the BYU Gymnastics meet. We even went down on the floor before it started and participated in the handstand contest. I know you might be surprised but we didn't win.
For Valentine's Day I went to my first Monster Truck Rally. What an experience, especially on valentines day.
