Radha Krishna- Festival of Colors!

Let's see how has Michelle grown up now just over the weekend?! I took a road trip without my parents this weekend. Ya, it was awesome.
To start our story, let's start off by saying YAY and CONGRATS to my roommate Whitney. She's engaged! :) I'm so happy for her and Sawyer. PS.. Sawyer is our FHE brother!

After he proposed at 5 IN THE MORNING!
Now skip to later that day- Thursday night. We (Kaycee, Kelli, Kaitlyn, Whitney, Emily, Russell, Brendan, Sawyer, Blitch and Blaine) loaded up the cars and went to Idaho Falls and watched the midnight premiere of The Hunger Games. It was so good! We got home late, but hey it was worth it. I got 2 hours of sleep that night and 4 on Wednesday night because of the early morning proposal.

On those 6 hours of sleep, I drove to Utah with Emily, Kaycee, Blaine, and Blitch. Yes, I drove. I'm telling you, I feel like a big kid now! :)
We were headed down for the Festival of Colors and just to spend some time away from everything.
On the way down, the backseat slept a lot of the way (Blaine, Emily, and Kaycee), our DJ for the trip (Blitch) would make funny faces at the cars driving next to us, and we ate A LOT of cadbury eggs :)
We met up with Blitch's family and then went on down to their house where we made dinner and watched YouTube videos until one in the morning.

Saturday- The Festival of Colors

Kaycee and I before the festival

Our group- Blaine, Blitch, Kaycee, me, Parker, and Andy
Emily had stayed at her sister's house so she went down later with some other friends.





Awesome story- I asked this random girl to throw chalk on Blitch... She threw half a bag at his face and yes, it went in his mouth. He was spitting yellow for awhile- I love that his brother is just laughing in that picture



We caught the llama looking! Yes! :)



Kaycee and me!

The rest of the day on Saturday we were running around outside barefoot playing kickball and jumping on the tramp. Oh, and by the way, it was warm enough to get sun burned :)
Thanks to the Shuman family for letting us stay with them!

We left after going to sacrament meeting with Blitch's family and we made one last stop on the way home at temple square and the conference center. I love the spirit on temple square.
I cannot deny the spirit that is felt at that beautiful place!
Funny story though- Blaine was supposed to be directing me to the temple. Well, he was a little tired and fell asleep. We woke him up and asked him what street to turn onto. His response- "ya, temple street." He was a little tired and didn't make a lot of sense, so I asked, "Is West Temple the right one?" "Ya, ya that's a good one."


The gang
The girls
I'm so grateful for all the friends I've made this semester. I'm so glad that I had the chance to go to Utah with these friends! It was such a good trip and much needed to get away before finals week begins. Thanks to Blaine, Kaycee, Emily and Blitch for such a good time! :)

And this is how the trip ended :)

Well, I'm off to study my brains out for the next week and a half!

Much love-
Mitch
