Halloween Costume Contest...Avatar

Last weekend my friend helped transform me into one of the main characters on Avatar. The process began with blue tights and a nude leotard. Rebecca sprayed blue, green, and white hair coloring all over my body so that there was no flesh left to be seen. The spray was so cold that my whole body tensed up and I had body chills with every spray. We decided to dress me up like Avatar because we found out there was a costume contest at a fundraiser we had heard about and the winner of the contest would win an i-pod. I really wanted to win the i-pod becuase my i-pod was stolen last year while I was at the gym. Rebecca did an amazing job completely transforming me into Avatar, but sadly I lost to a walrus at the competition! It was super disappointing to have lost, but I did take second place and I will always remember this night.

Arches - Southern Utah

Southern Utah is so beautiful! A group of us drove down on a Saturday morning and camped over night in a ghost town called Sego. We hiked to delicate arch, which is the arch that is represented on the Utah licence plate. The arch was quite a bit smaller than I thought it would be, but it was still amazing. The hikes we did throughout the day were beautiful and so was the surrounding area. The red rock in Southern Utah is gorgeous. We had a blast! The ghost town was completely abandoned and we set up camp in the middle of a building that only had the perimeter of the structure left standing. It was great for shelter from the wind and kept us nice and warm through the night. Hope to return to Arches again soon!

KISS Concert

I won free tickets to the KISS concert and Heather won 2 free entrees at Applebees at our work party so... we made a date of it! As you can see we went a little crazy and painted our faces and put fake eye lashes on just for the occasion. We thought there would be tons of people dressed up at the concert, but we were totally wrong in our assumption. We were some of the few people that were actually dressed up, but painting our faces and gluing fake eye lashes on enhanced our experience beyond what it could have been without our snazzy get up! We had a blast. The toughest part about the whole thing was doing our face paintings and eye lashes in the car before going into the concert, which should explain why the black star over my eye looks more like a sloppy tree topper... love it ;) Heather is quite the artist!
