Color Me Rad Yo!

On Saturday it was fun reconnecting with Kami to run a 5K race called Color Me Rad. It was located at UVU campus and it was put on by the same people who did the Dirty Dash, so it was close, and I knew they would do a good job of making it fun. Turns out it was! 

This was our last minute attempt to match...with argyle socks, matching shorts, and pigtails :)
 This was me during the first part of the race, with only a little orange splotched on me. Also, it was an attempt to take a picture through a ziplock bag...which we didn't really try again cause the quality was so bad.
 Not only was there colored powder thrown at you, but also bright colored liquid paint was sprayed on you as well. This was when the red got us, and it looked like we were bleeding haha.
 In the middle of the race!
 When the race was all over, we went crazy with a photo shoot, but I won't post everything.
 Kami actually forgot to give me my blue powder to throw during the race so we just threw it on each other in the parking lot before we left and took more pictures of course.
Sorry if this grosses you out, but our (especially my) white legs looked even whiter we were so painted with color!
 A favorite from the day. I really liked the cool glasses that came in the race packet.

 Dance party in the parking lot afterwards with out new shirts.
 My hairline was literally a rainbow.
 This is what happened to my arms/inside of my elbows.
 After the race, we went to the mall to enjoy some Chick-fil-a and look weird in public. Including Bath and Body Works.

Hunger Games Mania

MIDNIGHT PREMIERE OF THE HUNGER GAMES! We decided to go all out, and streaked our hair to be like Capitol citizens, but then we also wore mockingjay shirts that my roommate made. We then sat in the Provo Towne Centre theater for a couple of hours in anticipation!

My roommates and our movie tickets!

Some boys from the ward that we helped dress up in Capitol attire (notice Seneca Crane's beard-that was actually a popular trend we saw that night).
Finally in the theater after all those months of waiting!

Between the FHE video we made and this premiere, I have actually had some people in my ward call me Katniss!

Around all this hype, another ward date activity was being planned. They did a "compatibility" test (it asked what your favorite Disney movie was, favorite color, etc.) and matched us up. Then the boys were told to ask us out when they got our name. We are supposed to dress up as a famous couple. Soooo this is what I got on my doorstep one night...




Underneath the bread, there was a paper with tape over it (I guess to protect it from grease) and it said "to find out who Peeta is and who to return the pan to, turn over) and it said-
Now, this is a preemie in my ward who is shorter and obviously younger than me in my ward. I actually used him for my Intro to Youth Leadership class last semester because I had to interview an adolescent, and I knew his older brother Austin. I asked Austin if I could borrow his little brother who was 18 and fit in the right age category. I felt bad calling him adolescent but it was pretty funny, because his brother and other roommates proceeded to call him Adamlescent, and so now that's what my apartment has always called him as well. He and I have actually become good friends through Institute and Mission Prep, and he actually helped me with the idea for The Dating Games movie because we talk Hunger Games a lot. Here was my reply to his bread-


I haven't been that creative with an asking for a date since freshman year, so it was fun to keep up with his creativity and obvious well thought out plan. Our preemies are so precious in our ward, this should be a fun date on Friday. I will have to post pictures of us as Katniss and Peeta next.
