We're back and ready for more

Today I was just realizing how glad I am that a certain someone came back into my life.


Tyson was my very first friend when I moved to St. George. We took a home ec class together called "Foods" and I can remember having a very interesting day. Since we only remembered to double part of the recipe of the German pancakes we were making, we didn't put enough flour, so the eggs were the main ingredient. We ended up having the nastiest scrambled egg cakes ever created. But we always laugh about that now...or the time someone found a mouse in a drawer!


I remember we even went to a dance together in high school, The D-Day Dance. I remember how much fun we had when we went laughing too. Tyson and I lost touch for a few years when he moved to Salt Lake, but a little over a year ago I ran into him at a party and we finally got our friendship back together. And when he moved to St. George this July, it was fate!

I love laughing with Tyson. We always have our crazy "Fun Times Brought to You By: Manda and Tyson" quotes and end up laughing our asses off:

Me: Do you have your lighter?

Tyson (kidding): No...maybe i'll just steal one from the gas station.

Me: I'll just go find it...it's easier than getting arrested.

Me and Tyson bored, driving around one Saturday night trying to find something to do:

Tyson: You know, we are just going to end up sitting in the car, listening to music and getting ready for no reason.  At least the car is kind of like our club with music and us dancing. But us getting ready, what are we gonna do? Go home at 5 am and say, "LOOK AT US WE ARE BEAUTIFUL!"

Me, not paying attention: "UGH! This cap is so hard to get off. I can't get it."

Me, still not looking down. "Tyson, I can't get the damn cap of the Malibu! UGGGHHH!"

Tyson hands me the cap that he had the whole time...I look down. Sure enough, theres no cap on it...

Tyson, lighting a match: "Sorry...it's just really cold in here."

Me: YOU LIT A MATCH FOR WARMTH?!?!

Cue the hysterical laughter.

Tyson, drinking a fourloco (energy drink and alcohol mixed) smiles, says: "GOD THIS TASTES LIKE SHIT"

I know it's hard sometimes because he misses Salt Lake so much, and a lot of the awesome people he knows there. But I hope he knows how much it means to me to have him back here and how proud I am of him going back to school, working hard and playing hard too. He is such a great friend to talk to and to have fun with. I don't know what I would do without you doll :)

Love you Tyson!
Love Always,
Manda

Happy Birthday to Miss Carie Lilga...

Carie just threw one of the most awesome parties, and I think she deserves a little shout out for her birthday!

I have known Carie for a couple of years, but really got to know her when she moved in with one of my best friends, Kyle. I am so glad he has a roommate who is such a sweet, nice (and not to mention fun...Carie is the life of the party! I love having fun girls nights at the bar or hanging out at parties with her) person! After the experience I had with the people I lived with it makes me so happy that these two are true friends and know how to treat each other.

 

Seriously though, parties in St. George were in danger of becoming extinct. I think this helped restore my faith in the power of fun around here...I had a ball! I think we are so lucky to have the fun group of friends we do. I always have the craziest stories to tell, the best laughs and people I can count on. I love that :)

Love Always,
Manda

Sorry for Party Rocking...

Ladies and Gentlemen, the concert event of the year...<3

LMFAO AND KE$HA!

SEPTEMBER 16TH 2011

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA @ PLANET HOLLYWOOD

Of course a show like this requires excessive amounts of glitter. Do you think I got a little carried away?

 Me and two of my best friends, Jake and Tyson decided to take a road trip for this event. When we heard about it, we knew it would be the perfect kind of party.

As you know from previous blogposts, I have seen Ke$ha in concert before. Twice actually! She opened for Rihanna back in 2010...and then I caught her concert at the Saltair back in February. I am a pretty big fan, so I was excited to see her again. I mostly went to the show to see LMFAO though. They are one of my new favorite bands. They call their music a new kind of genre called "Party Rock" and it really is just perfect for that. Every hit is easy to dance to and they have so many fun songs. A few favorites? "I'm in Miami, Bitch," (they changed the lyrics to Las Vegas for us though) "Shots," "Get Crazy," (the theme song from Jersey Shore!) and the newest one, my favorite summer song obsession "Party Rock Anthem." I have to say they rocked the damn house! I couldn't sit still if I tried. The atmosphere was awesome. They had a light show, threw beach balls in the audience, and of course balloons came down from the ceiling! Everyone was dancing and singing, it was a blast. One girl had quite the dilemma during her fun at the show:

Girl, stumbling: OMG! I F**KING LOVE LMFAO! HEY, HAS ANYONE SEEN MY SHOES???

Ke$ha herself was having quite the good time as well:

Ke$ha grabs a champage bottle, turns to crowd, screaming: "LETS GET F**KING WASTED!!!!" proceeds to open bottle, chug the liquor, spit it out at the crowd and smash the bottle.

Ke$ha: "You guys, I have a big problem...there just isn't enough glitter on my titties!"

Backstage crew runs out and covers her in glitter.

My favorite Ke$ha concert experience was probably when I saw her at the Saltair, but this one was cool because she had added new things I hadn't seen when I saw her back then. She had a lot of special effects too and of course her glitter showers at the end of the show hahaha.

She also has a new album of dance remixes (I am the dance commander, and I command you to dance) that was just released, so a lot of her songs were remixed with dubstep which was awesome! She even has a new song too, one called "F**k him he's a DJ" which is now a favorite.

Poor Jake was so exhausted from school, work and all the testing going on at school that he just started passing out during the show. I never laughed so hard. Who the hell would fall asleep AT KE$HA!?! Me and Tyson kept making fun of him saying about how Jake thought her song "Sleazy" said "Sleepy" instead.

Oh boy, I had the time of my life.

Afterwards, we went to the CLUB <3 Basically it was one of the most amazing nights of my life!

Love Always,
Manda

 

The Only Place for Birthdays...

Tyson turned 23 this weekend, so we had to celebrate in style!!

This was one of the craziest weekends I have ever had in Vegas. Three uninterrupted days of fun :) On Friday night, we hit up Krave...poor Zach got kicked out within his first ten minutes of being there! Most of the night was spent trying to communicate with these underagers that got thrown out. I finally got to meet my hero, who is named Tony, the unicorn haired gogo dancer from the club. I was awe struck...his hair is even taller than mine!

Saturday we were so tired all we did was lounge poolside...I was laughing at Foster saying how we had to explore the four pools of Egypt since there was so many different swimming pools and water falls. We did conquer all of them!


And that night we had crazy adventures on the strip and in our hotel room...definitely the best way to have a birthday!

The best part was that so many of us were able to go!! Tyson's besties and two of my fav friends, Foster and Josh, drove all the way down from SLC just to party with us. Josh is so funny and always makes me laugh with his jokes and quotes...super bass or superb ass? hahahaha...I will never forget this weekend as long as I live.

Love Always,

Manda

Who are these weirdos?

I always feel a little bit sorry for Alex whenever he invites us over, because:
A) He has a beautiful brand new expensive house
B) we are crazy little terrors who have too much fun, get too drunk and then
C) he cooks a ton of pasta for us to help us sober up.

Cue the crazy ass photo sessions. We always take waaaay too many pictures and go waaaay too crazy. The next day looking through my camera is always interesting...

But Alex, you are a doll, and I love you so so much! hahaha I will never forget our crazy adventures at your house. 

Chris even gave Zach a bronzy makeover...cute if you are into the whole white boy version of Snooki thing :) which we ARE! lol.

See below for tanzilla...yea buddy!
Love Always,
Manda
