Fun Day

We had a really fun day off on Thursday. The weather was perfect so we went to the pool for a few hours and soaked up the sun. After, we met up with our other two roommates when they got off work and went to the movie Bride Wars. It was fun to all go out together because we are usually working opposite shifts. The movie was cute and a fun movie to go to with just the girls. After the movie we went downtown to Hard Rock for dinner. I have to say, i was a little disappointed with the food. I don't think i've ever left that restaurant thrilled, especially for how expensive it is. It was still fun to all go out to dinner together and laugh at all the crazy people on Duval Street.

It's a completly different culture down here, that's for sure. At night the drag queens drive down Duval, sitting on the back of a pink convertable and if you yell at them they'll throw you some mardi gras beads. It's pretty funny.

Ha we found this random place with a ton of weird statues. We were a little hyper and had fun taking some funny pictures

And by the end of the night.. i found my new boyfriend :)

Bikram Yoga

Yeah two days ago i would have no idea what it was. For those of you who are how i was it's a yoga class where they heat the room to about 102 degrees and have humidifiers making the humidity at about 150%. Tonight i went to the class and it was actually really fun. I felt extremely relaxed after 90 minutes of sweating from literally every pore in my body. My manager, Bonnie, goes all the time and got me to try it out. I think everyone should at least try it because i felt so good after the class. So as of tonight, i am a bikram fan!

Cold Front

I am so happy that the weather is finally back into the high 70's. Last week we had a couple of days that were so cold (50 degress). I know that sounds pathetic for all you Utahns who consider 50 warm and sunny, but for us key westerners it's FREEZING. Yesterday i took advantage of the sunny weather and laid out by the pool. While i was relaxing, listening to my ipod one of the girls i'm living with started freaking out. I looked up to see what was going on and this huge iguana was right inbetween us. It was three feet long and just crawled underneath our chairs. I'm so mad i didn't have my camera. So that was pretty funny and totally random.

Other than that i've just been working and hanging out. Here are a few pictures from the last week or so:
This is the beautiful view of where i run. I've never been a huge fan of running but who can resist when i get to run right next to the ocean?
haha this is another one of those days where no cruise ships are in. Looks like i need a little bit of work on my hurkeys. You'd never know i used to be a cheerleader from this picture
Carolines is our favorite place to go for lunch. It's right on Duval and a block away from the store. It's always fun when all four of us can go to lunch together
A lot of the beaches here aren't very sandy but this is the best beach we have seen. The water is crystal clear blue and the sand is pure white. So pretty.

New Home!

I'm an official resident in Key West, FL! I have been here for almost a week and i'm loving it! I'm down here doing an internship with a company called Del Sol until the end of May. I found out in December that i got the internship and had about a month to get ready to move to this awesome little island. I feel like i bit of a slacker, taking a semester off from school but i'm so glad i took advantage of this amazing opportunity! I'm living in an apartment with three other girls from Utah. They are way fun and cute, couldn't have asked for better roomies. I've just been working and having a blast settling into my new home!

This is the view from Mallory Square down at the pier. Every night they have a sunset festival. The sunsets here are amazing!

Our first day in the store! These are two of the girls i'm working and living with. Michelle and Ali


Haha the other day was really slow beacuse there weren't any cruise ships in so we got creative trying to get people in the store. I love the lady looking at us in the second picture. Best manequins i've ever seen!
