Utah Flash!


Last night Matt, Angela, Andrew and me all went to a Utah Flash game. It was quite the event. We got a basketball game + spectator entertainment...I'm afraid that if I try to explain it, the meaning will be lost...I just wonder where these Flash fans are hiding during daylight hours?!


Also, the "Flash dancers" were pretty awful. How do they think they are going to earn some 'R-E-S-P-E-C-T' by grinding and shimmying?

Rewind: Festival of Colors



I was so excited to attend this year's Sri Sri Radha Krishna temple celebration of Holi, or The Festival of Colors! I had never gone before, but had heard all about it from friends and such. I am working evening shifts this semester, and realized about a week before Holi, that I would not be able to go because of work!! BUT the day before the festival, I found out that I did NOT have to work and was overly excited about going.
Andrew and I were on our way to the festivities, but the traffic was so horrible on the freeway that we got off and try to find our way through the back roads. We eventually got there, but the colors were thrown as we were parking, so we missed most of the excitement.



































But we had fun petting the llamas, looking at the peacocks, looking at the gift shop inside the temple, and getting a little color on us from other people who still had some powder left.
It was very fun, but next year we will be on time!

Rewind: Allison & Ari Visit Utah!

















Ari & Allison flew in last month to visit all us important people in Utah. It was so much fun to see the little babies playing and giving each other hugs. Sharing was a little difficult for the two, especially Lincoln. Can you blame him? Imagine be the only child, and one day another kid comes and invades all of your toys. He coped with it just fine, though.















While they were here we had a birthday bash for Lincoln & Ari's 2nd Birthdays! Kathleen did most of the decorating and preparation for it. I must say it looked fabulouso! Many of Lincoln's little friends showed up to help him celebrate. So, it was a very busy, very fun party!
















Also while they were in town, we had a get-together with my family and Andrew's family. We ate food. All the babies were present. Jowling pictures were taken. The babies were very cute. All in all, it was quite the success.

Rewind: Andrew's Birthday

On March 14th, Andrew turned a big 2-4! Woot! Woot! He feels pretty old, but I just don't see it. We went to a movie to celebrate! I made him a square shaped bowl out of clay, but it did not survive the firing process....So, his one request for his birthday was that we not take any pictures. Therefore, I have none to show you. However, the next day we took Lincoln to see some animals at Wheeler farm. So here are those pictures.Cute, huh?

Cha..cha..changes

Everything in my school/work life is completely up in the air! I have NO idea how things are going to happen - which is scary. I'm going to map out my options, for my benefit, and for you because I'm just sure you care!

1. Go to New York for a super awesome summer internship (that I haven't been offered, yet). Then take Fall and Winter classes at BYU, and graduate in April, as I have planned for the past few years.

2. Go to Dallas/Nashville for an internship for the Summertime. And proceed with school as planned - graduating in April.

3. Stay in Provo for the Summer. Take classes during the Spring, Summer, & Fall semesters, then go to New York for an internship during Winter semester. Still graduating in April, as previously planned.

4. Stay in Provo for the Summer, take classes during Spring, Summer & Fall semesters and graduate in December! Then later go to New York to live, work and play!

Problems:
*All of my plans are a little scary to me in different ways.
*Plan #4 would mean I would have to suddenly 'grow up.'
*Plan #4 would also mean that I would have to find a new job, because my schedule does not fit with the work schedule at the ticket office...not that getting a new job would be a bad idea...I could find a new job with better pay...if I could find a new job.
*I hate making decisions.
*I have to make a decision.

I just realized...

I could graduate in DECEMBER!

A Tribute to the Ticket Office

So for my directing class, we had to direct an original 2 minute scene. I decided to take my daily frustration from dealing with ridiculous people, and mold it into a scene! So the scene is a compilation of the most silly things people have said/done at the ticket office window. My group is totally fabulous and practically perfect! This is just a little amateur video of the scene. Everyone loved it (to say the least...)! And we have plans to perform the scene at our work meeting next week!
