The Aquarium!

I went to the aquarium yesterday! IT WAS THE FUNNEST THING EVER! Need an idea for a great date? The aquarium. I had so so so much fun! I haven't been since the fifth grade and it was so fun. I even conquered my fear of the aquarium, with the bestby holding my hand. I only got really really scared once, that was at the shark tank exhibit, it was dark and they had whale songs playing. . . Talk about creepy.!

Before I could go to the aquarium, I had to take my physics test. Blech. Since I signed a bunch of papers, I can't officially discuss it right now, but I can in 24 hours, so if you would like to have a discussion just let me know. Then. Anyways, it was pretty hard, I'll be happy if I get a 3 but I'm not that hopeful. I had my lucky testing outfit on. Don't ask why, but when we taking all those practice tests, I swear, these are lucky gym shorts and hair do! Since it's unbelievably cold in the testing room, I had to add the long socks. One of the proctors thought I was a leg amputee and asked where my crutches were because it looked like I had no legs in the socks. Ha, that was pretty funny.

Yeah. Guess what? I NEVER EVER HAVE TO DO PHYSICS AGAIN! Then, off to the aquarium! I fell in love with each and every fish and creature there. I'd never felt so much love in my heart. I had so so so much fun being there with Sammy and all my family. It was, ahh! It was beautiful. I'm scared of the ocean but seeing all the different creatures down there and all the colors and differences, man. I was awed at the beauty of the earth. That doesn't mean I'm still not terrified to go into the ocean, but man. Seriously, the best date ever.

I took about a million pictures and I was having a wanna be photographer artist moment, so please bear with me. This really nice guy named Mike came with the bestby and I through one of our rounds, we went through the whole thing three times:), and he told us a lot about all the fish! It was just so so fun! I was getting goosebumps when we got home and were talking about all our favorite fishes and such. It was so fun! What, no, I didn't almost cry in the middle because I was just so happy. :) :) :) :)

The bestby made sure I got across the street safely and pushed the button so we could walk.


Getting eaten by the shark.

Turtle!

Sammy thought this looked delicious.













This was one of my favorites


My favorite was the seahorses. I love them. I think it's so so cute that the daddy seahorses carry the babies. Sammy and I went back to see them a couple times. 



This dome was so triply


She loved the turtles.



This was a monkey fish. They jump out of the water to eat bugs. Mike, the nice man who accompanied us told us that one time they were eyeing up his fingers.


Leopard Sting ray!


This turtle had such a cool neck

The tiger didn't want to say hello. That's ok, I totally know how he feels.


Coolest. Frog. Ever!

I love the colors so much!





It looked like it was cuddling with the plant as a blanket.



Ok, I spent like twenty minutes petting the sting rays. They feel so cool! It took some coaxing, but Sammy felt one too. He didn't get to feel the top of it though, which is all slimy but not the gross kind of slimy.

THE KRACKEN! 

After Sammy read how the wolf eel flirts, he proceeded to ram his head into my stomach. So cute :)



Mike said that the octopus never moves, so I had to get a picture! He must have known I was coming so he woke up.


Pufferfish! Everyone was trying to scare it so it would blow up.

I love him :)



I showed those piranhas those suckers in my mouth

Seahorses again!

Loook! They're hugging:)


I feel like they switched the exhibits so it could be like nemo. . . 


We were watching this thing and looking at what we thought was its mouth. . . Then things started to come out. I SAW A FISH POOOP!

Seahorse Love :)

We walked down these stairs in British accents, feeling quite elegant. 
Ok. Yeah. I got a seahorse at the gift shop. I'm 18 and I still like stuffed animals. Don't judge. Sammy liked him too. We named him Qui Gon! Sammy licked his ears, and told me it was so he could show him he was loved. So cute!

It was a great great day :)

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...

Book of Mormon Musical?

Well, it's here in Denver. Kind of hard not to notice it with all the signs. The Book of Mormon Musical. I have very mixed feeling about this. I know that in the grand scheme of the universe, this musical shouldn't bother me so much. But it really, really does. The Book of Mormon is something very near and dear to my heart. And I know that people make fun of the LDS church on an hourly basis. I've heard all the jokes. Not a big deal. Plus, I'm blonde. I can take a joke. But this musical really disturbs me. I listened to the songs when they were released, thinking oh, I'm gonna be one of those cool people who fights for this play. But then I really started listening to the words. And they bothered me. A lot. Saying that missionaries who are out in the field make up things on the spot, like having sex with frogs will get rid of aids, it bugged me. I don't even want to talk about some of the other songs. I heard them and felt, just not right. I was comforted by t...

I'm not going to waste time talking about why I have a blog or how this is my first new blog post, because I like to have faith in the human race and the fact that they can read and can interpret these things on there own. I mean, there aren't any posts under this one so obviously this is my first new post. And having a blog is not a mandatory thing to live so one could hypothetically conclude that this is for fun. That is hypothetically speaking of course. I just used 89 words explaining why I didn't need to explain something. I hope I counted that right. Anyways.  Three years ago today on a rainy day I remember being in a basement with a bunch of little people and adults for a scout thing. And I remember them talking about how a certain friend of mine was going to be a senior and how that's so crazy. I was just going to be a freshman at the time and thought I was the coolest thing since duct tape. (Sorry sliced bread, duct tape is waay cooler.) Now that friend is get...
