The Mona Rope Swing

For Labor day and to celebrate no school and the beautiful sunshine some friends and I went out to the Mona rope swing and let me tell you we were not the only ones celebrating this day off with the rope swing in mind. There were probably 75+ people there and I guarantee most of them were students. It is this little spot with a rope swing and tree to jump from! It was great. Not only did we get to enjoy the water and the thrill of jumping in, we had Liz's brand new portable BBQ (Thanks to Laur and Jeff's camping shower) and grilled hot dogs, they were a hit. Overall it was a pretty awesome day! Sorry I have no pictures, I don't have a camera so it is no fun! Happy Labor day to you all, hope you celebrated it in a fun way just like me! One love

Storming the Streets

Last night was quite an experience if you ask me! Liz and I went to a friends house to watch the BYU vs. Oklahoma game and it was amazing! Who would have thought the 20th ranked Cougars would beat the 3rd ranked Oklahoma Sooners (Whatever a sooner is I do not know) is absolutely amazing. It was such a fun game to watch especially in the company of some cute, energetic and enthusiastic guys. After the game seriously everyone stormed the streets. The intersection right by our apartment was covered with students chanting, honking their horns, running back and forth when the walk symbol was up. It was complete madness and it was awesome. Liz and I joined in chanting and screaming at the top of our lungs. We then migrated down the street to the stadium which was even crazier! It was a blast and night that Liz and I will remember as one of the best in our college careers and we have had some good things happen. It was also funny because that day we were talking about how we couldn't leave Costco, Wal-Mart, or Great Harvest without meeting some cute new guys. We we did leave all three places without meeting anyone, but when chanting on the streets I noticed the cutest guy in a cute blue baseball hat and wanted to meet him. We kept seeing them and then didn't see them when we were leaving the stadium, oh well right? Wrong! As we were walking back up the stairs to our apartment out walks the boy in the blue hat (his name is Steve) from the apartment kitty corner from ours. We strike up a conversation and end up playing soccer with them for about an hour. Overall it was a great night! A success if you ask me. Who knows what will happen next? The joys of college!

"Truth is chaos; maybe beauty is chaos" *Thanks Bob Dylan*

That is exactly what my life has been as of late, chaotic and overwhelming! I started school this week and being back (after two weeks) feels good because it is fall and fresh. Everyone is still excited to be in school! I also moved into my apartment in Provo! I am just pulling things together as of today! I will have pictures later today or tomorrow, but I wanted to give a brief update because I have done such an aweful job at keeping up this summer. Now that it is over and I will be on my computer a lot more for school hopefully I can keep you up on the happenings of A-Train, Beezy K, or just Ali! Love you all

Industrial Shoot

Peter and I did a photo shoot in an alley way in downtown Salt Lake and it was so much fun! It was as close as I have come to feeling like a real model. Here are just some shots. I need to add more later! I promise I will and I am so sorry my posts have been so inconsistent lately. My life is school, work, and some play. This was something that I loved though! And there will be more to come I hope!

Some photos





The Fence Sitter!







This shot is one of my favorites! The expression on my face mixed with the setting and the bullet hole I just think it is awesome! Talk about awesome photography! I just love the photographer









These ones remind me of the old time movies or the movie Sin City!

My Calling In Life

On Tuesday in my Public Relations class I discovered and decided exactly what I want to do in my life. We had a guest speaker Derek Garduno from the Utah Jazz come and speak to our class about Sports Entertainment and Public Relations and I fell in love. Not with him, but with the idea of working with sports and public relations for my career. It is seriously a dream come true. For those of you who know me I am huge sports fan! Mostly Basketball, Football, Snowboarding, Tennis, and Soccer. I frequently am planning parties and get togethers around big games with friends and food and I know everything about the teams and players. As Derek was talking I just thought and knew that this is something I could do for the rest of my life. Yes I would be surrounded by professional athletes (good thing or bad thing?) and would be working long hours during the sports season, but I would love it. I just don't know where to start, any ideas? I want to re-apply for an internship with Real Salt Lake, but I was also thinking maybe the minor leauge basketball team The Flash, or The Buzz and maybe even the minor pro soccer team The Celtics. Apparently I have options and need to get my butt into gear because I do not want to be working at 7Sundaze forever, I am already known as the tanning girl who has worked here forever and we all love. But hey I can't complain it is a job in these hard economic times!

Jillian Harris

I know it seems cheesy, but I love the bachelorette!! It is so fun to watch and get into. I can't even imagine how much fun Jillian is having with 25 handsome, sexy, smart, successful guys! She has been on some awesome dates already and I can't wait to see what happens this week! It is a lot better than watching 25 girls fight over one guy.

Blind Date

Blind Dates: Romantic Arrangements usually implemented by a good friend that "knows" you both really well. That was the basic definition of a blind date. Well I will tell you, I have been on a couple of blind dates some of which were aweful! But I went on one Saturday and it was a blast. Good, fun, handsome guy. We hiked, talked, got ice cream, and talked some more. It was the kind of date where you never stop talking and I consider that a good sign. Overall blind dates can be a good thing and I am excited to find out what happens next.

Dating is a strange thing though and I am at the stage in my life where dating counts. Everything counts. I feel like all the sudden I am an adult and all these decisions need to be made. For example: What am I going to do after I graduate?, What am I going to be?, Who will I date and fall in love with?, Will I be successful?... All these things are now a big deal. I have an idea of all of them, well I take that back no I don't! I am going to have to be responsible some time soon. Yikes!
