The Festival of Colours

Reese and I had a really fun weekend! We went bowling and had hamburgers on Friday, but the real fun began Saturday when we went to the Hindu Temple in Spanish Fork for the Festival of Colours. It was way too much fun. Before I post the pictures, I do have a little complaint about the powder we threw. It was supposed to just "wash out"... however the random splotches of pink still in my hair 'aint so pretty. I definitely washed it about 10 times yesterday, and again about 3 times this morning, and it still wont budge. It also ruined the actual colour of my hair. It's turned a bit brassy. If this happened 3 weeks ago, I wouldn't have minded much becaues my hair looked horrible anyways. But when I went to AZ for my mom's birthday I was able to get my hair done, and thanks to the amazing Ashley... it looked fantastic. Now, it looks like poo again. And that is a problem... especially since money doesn't grow on tree's. So if money would like to start growing on tree's, that would be greatly appreciated. And yes, I will be wearing a hat to work tomorrow, and probably the rest of the week.

Anyways, here are the pictures! Anyone who knows me, knows I'd LOVE to travel and on my long list of places to go is India. I love Indian food, clothing, dancing, music, and culture. So, I have told Reese when we do finally make the trip over there it must be during the Festival of Colours, because really- if it could be so much fun in Utah, it's most definitely going to be more fun in India. And don't worry- I will wear a bag over my hair next time... :)

The massive amount of people getting ready to celebrate at the beautiful Temple.

Reese said he was going to ration his packet. First thing he did was take a handful and throw it in my face. Nice.

Already getting coloured.

Waitng for the Indian dancers to come entertain.

Yeah, he need to apologise lots...

Starting to look filthy

Nice shot of yellow in the sea of pink.

Some child (yes, he couldn't have been over 10) crowd surfing.

The Indian dancers

The visability as soon as the count down finished and everyone started throwing powder

Looking ridiculous

People acting weird around the fire that killed the evil witch, Krishna.

Krishna was the evil witch who burned babies.

Cloud of powder

Before it looked just like a sea of pink

Feeling good and dirty

He was so happy about the free red bull

Off to go get some lunch

And the sea of pink

Fun, fun, fun!

OMH And Other Things I Despise

Once upon a time I was talking to Hillery on the phone. This is what I said: "Oh, ja, and I think we've seen the last of the snow"

It gets worse...

30 minutes after pushing snow, I was finally off to work.

Zero visability on the highway

Just my luck, I know!

I despise trucks. They should run on ther own highway.

Beans. Gross.

Utah drivers. No offense.

No, not the pretty mountains- University Parkway. Ugh.

Well, that is all for now.

Things I love?

Reese and Lady Gaga's clean fish bowl.

BYU vs UNM

The fun started when Reese and I arrived to the game 2 hours early.

We ran into some friends, so sat with them during the game!

We also got free Kayne glasses... They will go in the date box and stay there.

It was great because that Sarah and Trent were there because it gave us people to talk to that weren't covered in body paint or holding up blown up heads of the BYU head coach and assistant coach.

I begged Reese to let me wear red, but he said he would fight someone, so I landed up wearing purple instead. Good thing too, because I would have stuck out like a sore thumb in the sea of blue.

There was a cool opening show for the BYU boys, the white drapes dropped down from the ceiling.

There weren't too many New Mexican supporters there...

We also enjoyed seeing all the old couples there...

BYU has terrible sportsmanship, that is one thing I did discover today. Before the game started they had a little "how to be rude, without being completely rude" tutorial.

The UNM boys warming up. Number 1 is the best player by far. He is left handed like me, so I am not surprised. :)

It was a close game the whole time. Sarah and Trent were so tense in the last few seconds.

Of course when UNM won, BYU showed good sportsmanship by throwing things onto the court.

BYU player, #45 was a real chop. First, can his pants sit any higher? Secondly, he was called on a foul and almost hit the Ref. Please take note of a friend making sure he didn't get kicked out of the building.

Yes, the right thing to do would be to apologise to the Ref you wanted to punch hoping he would change his mind about the foul. Killing him with fake kindness did not work.

The last 0.6 seconds lasted about 8 minutes because of time-outs. That was extremely annoying.

End of the game score! GO LOBOS!

Reese was SO HAPPY!

Along with the joy inside me as we left, seeing all the angry BYU people... I also left with a headache because everytime UNM had the ball (which was a lot of the time) BYUers would do this:
