Bear Lake Reunion

Have you ever been extremely excited for a vacation that you want it to be tomorrow, yet it is still so far away such as a trip to Disneyland or to another country?  Well, on the first weekend of July, my entire family will be getting together for a weekend at Bear Lake.  It may sound like a simple activity but when I say "entire family" I mean all my siblings spread out through the western United States.  I have two sisters coming down from Rexburg, Idaho, a sister from Boise, Idaho,  a brother from Phoenix, Arizona, and sisters from Salt Lake, Highland, and American Fork, Utah all coming.  With so many married siblings, it has been over a year since we have all been able to gather together.  We will be staying in a cabin right there on Bear Lake.  I am so excited I just can't wait.  I want to go tomorrow, but I guess a month goes by quickly.

BYU National Champions

Yesterday was an exciting day.  I worked from 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.  Then as soon as I got home, I went on a date with a girl named Caitlin from my ward.  We went to the BYU Rugby Championship game.  But before we got to the Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, we stopped off at Ikea to eat some delicious Swedish meatballs.  Ikea serves some delicious meatballs, mashed potatoes, and jam for a very inexpensive price.  After filling ourselves up on meatballs, we headed to the stadium.  In order to avoid the $10 parking fee, my friend Jason decided to park a mile from the stadium.  So we got a little exercise on our way to the game.  It was very entertaining to watch.  Caitlin and I decided that it is more exciting to watch than football because it moves at a fast pace.  The ball is constantly in motion.  BYU ended up becoming national champions in Rugby last night!  It was a very exciting game. 

Here is a picture of Caitlin and me at the rugby game last night.  The players behind us were receiving their medals.  GO COUGARS!

Week 3

Well, this is my third post since I began taking Management Communications.  This last week was a very busy week.  I ended up working for over 44 hours.  I also got two iPod touches that were left in our lost and found for over a month and a half. One has a cracked screen and the other has been disabled for over 22 million minutes (just over 41 YEARS).  I looked up online, and asked a bunch of people how to restore it to its original settings, and after attempting twice...IT WORKS!  I decided I would give it to my sister Christine since her iPod broke a while back.  Also, I got to go work at a Cinco de Mayo event in West Valley City where I got paid to speak in Spanish and hand out Spanish fliers.  It was amazing.  I even got to eat Mexican food!
Finally, I have found myself to be a little bit of a grammer freak this last week.  Since one of my roommates is deaf we always have the subtitles on.  Well, when I am watching movies, or any TV show, I find myself correcting the subtitles..."Opps, that should have been a dash, not a comma".  It's horrible, yet nice to know that some of what I am learning is catching on.  Well, until next time...

The Avengers!

Well, here is my second post in five years!  Last night I went to see the Avengers after a long debate with my roommates.  They all purchased their tickets about a month ago for the midnight showing tonight.  Boman (my roommate) is a huge fan of anything superhero, and so he has been really excited.  Let me tell you . . . it was worth it!  Even though I only got about three hours of sleep today since I had to work at 8 a.m. this morning, I am so glad I went to see it.  I think it is honestly one of the best movies I have seen!  I was exhausted before and after the movie, but I was never even close to falling asleep during the movie.  I am glad my roommates convinced me to go.  The best part is that I think I knew 20 or more people in the theater!  For anyone debating whether or not to see it, take my advice and go (it was that good)!
