Bum ba dah dum bum bum BUM!

Geez everyone will you just get those pictures up already? (oh wait...that's me) Yes I realize it's been years since I said I would have them up and I aplogize. I don't have any good excuses. Well here goes!

Let's start with the General Conference trip. A couple weekends ago I went with my Young Women on a very long car trip to UTAH! We got to go to both Saturday sessions. I think my favorite part of this trip was being apart of the solemn assembly. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience.



This is a view of the temple from the conference center, and I just like this picture.

One of my favorite a Capella groups, Eclipse, was performing at the Joseph Smith building when we went there! I got a picture with them but it was taken on my friend's camera which was recently stolen, so that's a bummer.

I really didn't get a lot of pictures conference weekend because every time you whip out a camera in the conference center some official barks at you. We Young Women were quite afraid of these people.

Now to move on to the next weekend which was my weekend in NEW YORK! Every year my choir class does a tour and this year we decided to try New York. I'm was in 3 of the choirs that competed and our Women's Ensemble won 1st Place Gold which was very exciting. Honors Choir and Show Choir (the other choirs I'm in) both took 3rd Place Silver which is still pretty good. Those two choirs are "lunch time choirs" meaning the only time we practice is at lunch. Really we only got to rehearse about 1 hour a week, so for doing as good as we did is pretty exciting!

Now for the pictures!


Just a little bit of Broadway



Me and my roommate Kourtney after being awake for 24 hours (we took a red eye and didn't even get to the hotel until about 10. So literally we had been awake for about 26 hours) and our hotel keys weren't working.


The view from our hotel room

This is the firehouse of the first firemen who arrived at the twin towers. Every one of them were killed so the firehouse is now a memorial.


cool view of the streets


I'm a photographer (?)


This was the craziest church I've ever seen. Inside was insane, it reminded me of The Da Vinci Code.


These are the UFO's from Men in Black


buildings to infinitly

This is the church our competition was in.


Us on the cruse (this is a really attractive picture of all of us.)

So that's not all the pictures but a lot of them need to be turned to be right side up and my computer isn't letting me do that right now. I'll post a separate one with those pictures. ANYWAY there you go! I'll try to keep up on my blogging better but getting closer to the end of the year is getting pretty crazy. I'll try my best!
