The Latest and Greatest

I haven't really had anything super exciting going on, but I have done some fun things since the corn maze that I haven't posted. So . . . here's one of those lame catchup updates for the 2 of you out there who might be interested!

Secondhand Serenade
My friend Lynette and I went to see Secondhand Serenade in concert in November. What a fun show! I loved 2 of the 3 opening acts. I was super impressed with Allred. Thanks to Youtube and modern technology, I was able to find a video of him playing my favorite song of the night. I love me some U2 and this was just really cool to see live. What amazing talent and technology. Here's the video:




The other band who opened was We Shot the Moon. I would like to listen to more of their stuff. They were fun. Very interesting to watch. I was puzzled and dismayed that all the artists were wearing skinny jeans. I guess it helped them sing better. I just don't find them at all attractive. Secondhand Serenade was a lot of fun to hear, too. There's something that's so much fun about live music where everybody is moving around and singing with the songs and the bass is so loud you can feel it in your chest. I give this concert 2 thumbs up.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was in Smithfield this year with the fam. Larren and Amberly came up and brought my cousin Mandy (going to BYU) with them. My cousin Steve came and the neighbors, Larry and Peggy. We ate lots of food, played games, and watched Pink Panther 2 which is a pretty funny movie. I think you need to be in the right mood to watch it and think everything is funny. I personally think Steve Martin is hysterical. You may not agree with me, but I give the movie 2 thumbs up.

Pickleville - Once Upon a Christmas: A North Pole Musical

Pickleville came to Logan and since we had so much fun going to Pickleville this summer, we thought we should give the Christmas musical they do in Logan a try. It was a lot of fun. Totally corny, but the food was good, the company was fantastic, and the musical made me laugh. TJ Davis (the writer and Buddy the Elf in the musical) sure has a sense of humor. He's the genius behind El Bandito. I think Pickleville will have to become an annual tradition, and possibly even semiannual. There were 5 of us and we got our picture taken with Santa, but it's on Lark's camera. I'll post it when I get a copy from her.

I'm really looking forward to Christmas and being able to spend some time with my family. With the snow on the ground and Christmas music on the radio, I'm starting to get into the spirit of it a little bit more. I hope the Christmas spirit is finding it's way into your heart as well! Happy holidays.

Children of the Corn

I really love the fall in Utah. The leaves never fail to put on a good show of changing colors. The bite in the air is enough that you have to wear a jacket in the morning, but it's sunny (except for the random blizzards that happen sometimes).

Fall in Utah also means corn mazes! I had the opportunity to go to the corn maze at the American West Heritage Center with some great friends. We had a lot of fun even though we "cheated" and used the map a little bit. I don't know if the map really helps or not.

Here's the aerial view of the maze this year:

The crew before: Katie, Micah, Renee, me, Lark, Jamie, Melany and her friend

Micah's impression of a disembodied head. They had signs throughout the maze with questions about corn and Cache Valley. It was nice to keep track of where we had already been!

Jamie's impression of the Statue of Liberty. This was fun for her and for me since I had no clue where the picture was and the flash was a bit of a shock!

The crew after! It took us about an hour, but we made it.

They had a train ride, a slide, a hay jump, and a blackout maze that we did too. This is Jamie, Renee, and Lark on the train.

Afterward, we went to Village Inn where I had the most amazing pumpkin pancakes. I must learn how to re-create this recipe at home. I'll be sure to post it if I find a recipe and am successful at replicating the fall yumminess.

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Don't judge a book by its title! I had heard people talking about this book, but I put off reading it until a lady I work with recommended it. I thought the title sounded very odd. Potato peel pie? Seriously? And a society associated with it? I gave it a chance and I really loved this book. I love a book that makes me think, but doesn't make me think too hard (Grapes of Wrath anybody?). This book is set on the island of Guernsey which I knew nothing about except I'd heard of a Guernsey cow and knew that it was spelled weird. Now I want to visit it!

This book is different in that it's written in letters back and forth between an author living in Great Britain and members of this literary society in Guernsey (an island in the English Channel). Here's one thing it made me think about: The letters exchanged between characters in the book were so rich and telling of the characters' personalities, their perceptions of the same events, and their deepest desires. It was an interesting way to write a book. The period the book is set in (shortly after WWII) makes it so letters are the only true means of communication the characters have available to them. Letters and telegrams - not even really telephone calls let alone texting, e-mailing, tweeting, facebooking, blogging, smoke signaling, and all the other ways we have of communicating with one another today. Are we missing out on a rich form of communication? Has technology robbed us? I know that I treasure handwritten notes, no matter how brief. The fact that someone took the time to sit down and write out something to me rather than typing or abbreviating every other word in a text message means something. Maybe I am old fashioned. That being said, I certainly wouldn't give up technology. It's a great way to keep in touch and even to meet new people you wouldn't have met otherwise [(Hi Camille!) or should I say {Hi Camille!}]. This was just some potato peel pie for thought. Yum!

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. It's a quick, easy read and it made me laugh, cry, and warmed my heart.

Cirque de la Symphonie

Larren and Amberly had a brilliant idea of getting my mom a ticket to go see the Cirque de la Symphonie in Salt Lake for her birthday. I thought it would be neat to spend the evening with my mom and brother and sister-in-law so I tagged along. It was amazing! It was at Abravanel Hall in Salt Lake. The Utah Symphony was fantastic, but the circus performers stole the show. They have such amazing agility and grace. The strong men, Jarek and Derek, were a little creepy to me, but completely amazing. I think I saw the definition of "having a lot on your mind." Here is a Youtube video of the circus performers we saw.

Jackson

Jackson, WY is one of my favorite places. It's stunning in every season! I had the opportunity to take a mini vacation with my friend Lisa. We went to stay with Grandma Hanson and spent a part of a day in Rexburg and all day Saturday in Jackson. It was nice to escape the everyday for a while.

Friday, we went to Rexburg and did a session in the Rexburg temple. It was so nice to be able to go inside after having seen only the outside last year. Going to the temple is always a good refresher for me of the eternal perspective. I'm usually a much nicer person after I've been! We made a trip to Porter's craft store. Florence's candy shop, and when I saw that they had Dole Whip at the Cocoa Bean, we had to go! I was disappointed that they didn't have pineapple, but the raspberry was pretty tasty. We got back to Idaho Falls and talked Grandma into going to a movie with us. We saw All About Steve. It was pretty dumb, but it was worth a couple of laughs!

Saturday morning, we got up early and drove to Jackson. We drove past Palisades which was really pretty. The first stop was the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort where we rode the tram up to the top of the mountain. We walked around a little bit up there and had fun watching paragliders and hang gliders take off. Maybe someday I will have the courage and money to do that! It looks like a rush. I'll have to add that to my bucket list. After riding the tram back down, we drove back to Snow King and met up with Brett, Selena, Andrea, and Jordynn. We had a picnic and then Lisa, Brett, Andrea, and I went on the Alpine Slide. It was a lot of fun! We hung around and enjoyed the nice weather for a while and then Lisa and I went over to Bar J Wranglers for dinner. It was a fun time! Lisa and I felt very young which was nice. The food was yummy and the entertainment was great. Here are some pictures from the weekend:

This guy's job is to make dutch oven biscuits at Bar J. And he looked like such a cute rancher, I had to take a picture.

I really wish you could get the full effect from this picture, but he's wearing Billy Bob teeth and had long nasty hair coming out of the top of his shirt. He was a "crooner" and was showing his buddies his new skills by singing "It Had to be You."

Bear Lake and Banditos

With the (welcome) chill in the air and the leaves changing colors, I bid summer 2009 a farewell. A fond farewell. I have had some good times in the past few weeks!

On August 29, I went to Bear Lake with Jamie, Lark, and Lynette. We learned the hard way that you should only drive a 4-wheel drive vehicle out onto the beach. But we got a workout and gave some teenagers a service opportunity. We are always looking for ways to inspire the younger generation. It was nice to make it up to the lake. I missed going last summer and it is one of my favorite places. Jen met us up there and we finished off a great day with a yummy cookout and hilarious play at Pickleville. I was privileged to see the sequel to last year's play, The Hanging of El Bandito. The food was good, the play was funny, and the company delightful. Here are some pictures:

Jamie, Lark, Juanito, me, Jen, and Lynette at Pickleville.

My Two Cents on Kanye

Kanye, the jackass

Say what you will about President Obama, he got this one right on. I don't particularly love Taylor Swift, but Kanye is a self-centered waste of skin. For the two of you who read my blog who aren't aware of the whole story, here's a link.

Jon Schmidt

I am a piano geek. It's not because I possess any great skill at the instrument, but I love it. I love playing the piano and I love listening to piano music. I do have all of Jim Brickman's albums . . . no lie. I posted about going to a Jon Schmidt concert a few weeks ago. He did this "mash-up" of Love Story by Taylor Swift and Viva la Vida by Coldplay. I seriously love it! I somehow ended up on his e-mail distribution list. I got an e-mail today that they have had some copyright issues with the Viva la Vida portion of the mash-up so he (and some collaborators I'm sure) went back to the drawing board and came up with a new song called Love Story Meets Love Story. I listened to it and and love it. Hopefully, this will counterbalance the sad video I posted about texting while driving!

Sobering

I won't lie. I have texted while driving before. Admittedly, I will do it mostly when stopped at a stop light and have been caught up in the thinking that I can handle the distraction. I remember this accident happening. I babysat for the O'Dell family for a lot of years and it breaks my heart to see Leila as a widow.

The heartbreak for all involved in this situation makes me feel the need to change. I post the video here along with my confession in the hopes that anybody who reads this will take 15 minutes to watch this video and commit to never texting while driving again. As the wife of one of the victims said, "No text is that important."

Here's the link.

Summertime . . . and the livin' is easy . . .

This summer has been strange. Not quite as eventful as summers past, but it's not quite over yet! A few weeks ago, I went with some friends from my ward to the Jon Schmidt concert in Sandy. It was a lot of fun! We stayed overnight with Paula in Daybreak and attended the Oquirrh Mountain Temple openhouse the next day. A trip to Ikea rounded out the weekend. Here are some pictures.

The Oquirrh Mountain Temple. June was a very eventful month as far as weather goes and Moroni was struck by lightning. His trumpet and arm got singed. If you look closely, you can see that they are black.

Grandma Hanson came to visit this past weekend. Mom, grandma, and I went to see Camelot at the Ellen Eccles Theatre. It was a good show. On Sunday, we went to Second Dam and made tinfoil dinners. My sibs are marshmallow gurus. It was nice to spend the day with family. Now I guess we will just wait and see what I can pack into these last few weeks.

Happy 4th of July!

I love the Muppets. They make me proud to be an American. Animal, Beaker, and the Swedish Chef never fail to make me giggle. Enjoy!

Other alternative titles for this post would be "The One Thing I Didn't Want to Buy at Summerfest" or "Should I be offended, flattered, or just grateful?"

I went to Summerfest with 3 of my friends. I love Summerfest. There is something so nice about being outside and seeing how amazingly talented and creative people are. It's so nice to spend an evening outside and enjoy good food. The ambiance is one of my favorite things. This year was no exception except the evening had a somewhat odd beginning.

My friends and I were sitting at the pioneer statue near the front of the Logan Tabernacle which was the agreed-upon meeting place. We were visiting with each other while waiting to see if anybody else was going to meet us before we wandered off to partake of the food goodness that is Summerfest and covet the incredible arts and crafts. I noticed a guy sitting across from us eavesdropping on our conversation. I was a little weirded out, but not really until he got up to talk to us. I watched him get up and saunter over to us and I remember thinking to myself, "Please don't come over here . . . please don't come over here . . . oh crap . . . he's coming over here." He was wearing jeans, a short-sleeved button-down shirt that was unbuttoned to the creepy level (you know the level I'm talking about) and showcasing a key on a blue piece of curling ribbon. He had a corny smile on his face and said, "Are any of you ladies single?"

In my mind, there was no good answer to the question. If I was honest and said yes, I was afraid of what the followup question might be. If I said no, I would have been lying. While I was debating in my mind, one of us said, "Yes, we are all single." It turns out my fear of the followup question was justified. "Would any of you like to French kiss me?" I think all of our jaws dropped. We looked at each other uncomfortably. He then said something about money changing hands. I was still too shocked to fully absorb what he was saying. Something about a "couple of bucks." He then proceeded to point with his foot at Lark and Jamie and said, "I'd especially like to kiss you or you." At that point, we had gathered our wits enough to pass on his offer and excuse ourselves.

As we were walking away, Lynette and I didn't know whether we should be offended that he didn't want to kiss us, flattered that he didn't choose us, or just grateful that he didn't. We opted for grateful . . . grateful that we live in Logan where kissing was the request instead of something else, grateful that none of us were alone, and grateful for a good laugh. Later, I saw the guy again. I was already thinking that this story needed to be written down so I proceeded to sneakily stalk him to try to get a picture to remember my gratitude. None of them are good because the sun was setting and we were both moving, but for what they are worth, here are 3 pictures of what could have been . . .

What I've Been Up To Lately

I got called to be the Relief Society president just about a month ago. The calling surprised me in a lot of ways, but I can't deny that I have had a lot of experiences in preparation for it. I'm getting to be less overwhelmed, but still feel pretty inadequate. Luckily, I have fantastic counselors and a wonderful secretary. I'm still getting the hang of it all. It's been a pretty busy time, but I've also been richly blessed this past month. So if you're wondering about lack of posts and didn't already know, that's why!

What Your Fridge Says About You

The above photo was taken by Mark Menjivar, a photographer who traveled the country for three years and asked various people if he could photograph the contents of their fridge. It's part of an exhibit called "You Are What You Eat" You can see a portfolio of his work here. It's interesting to think what you could learn (or misread!) by looking in someone's fridge. What would someone think of me by looking in my fridge? It kind of makes you think! I just can't avoid this pun. It's food for thought.

Dam 30th Birthday party!

I know I am a dork, but I love the dam/damn pun. For the ol' 30th, me and some friends enjoyed a gorgeous spring day and went to Second Dam in Logan Canyon where we had a fire and roasted hot dogs, marshmallows, and Peeps. A good time was had by all! I couldn't ask for better friends. Here are some photos documenting the occasion.

I forgot my jacket, but always keep this Pooh blanket in my car. My friends thought it was photo worthy.

Thoughts on Turning 30

I plunged headlong into my third decade of existence on this lovely planet earth and for posterity, I decided to impart some nuggets of wisdom I have learned because as the Primary song states (and Primary songs never lie), I should be one year older and wiser too.

About Life

Change is inevitable. It's best to embrace it and roll with it than try to resist it. As the Borg from Stark Trek say, "Resistance is futile." I've learned it's best not to waste time or energy on things that are futile. Because change happens, it's best to enjoy where you're at and proverbially bloom where you are planted. Easier said than done? Definitely.

About People

People are inherently good. There are some who go out of their way to make your life miserable, but they are the exception and not the rule and it is helpful to remember this when you feel wronged in some way. Also, it's not worth it to get offended. Easier said than done? For sure.

About Beauty

Beauty can be found in the most obscure places. There is something beautiful about all four seasons and something beautiful about everybody (even me). The trick is finding the beauty. Like finding the beauty in how the snow seems to shimmer a little more in the subzero temperatures when you can't feel your nose, fingers, or toes anymore and that was just from walking to your car. Easier said than done? Yup.

About Hard Things

Going through hard times and completing difficult tasks is . . . well hard and difficult. The important thing is to remember that "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." (Philippians 4:13) The support of family and friends is invaluable through these rough patches and intense labors of love (i.e., my thesis). They help to encourage you and remind you that this too shall pass. Is remembering those things in the moment easier said than done? Totally.

About Love

What do I know about love being a single 30-year-old woman in Utah? Meaning I've been an old maid for the past 7 to 8 years? I know that it's better to be single and a little lonely than in a bad relationship and totally miserable. I know that someday my prince will come and it will have been worth the wait. Is the waiting easier said than done? You betcha.

In summary, most things in life are easier said than done. Take that for whatever it's worth! I will savor this transition phase of my existence. (Tangent: There's not really much difference between yesterday and today except that I have to pay more for my health insurance and have a different first digit to write when referencing my age, but I've already done that twice so it's not a big deal.) It's coming whether I like or not and as I've learned about life, change and age are inevitable so we might as well embrace them both. I plan to be "30, flirty, and thriving"* thank you very much.

*Reference to 13 going on 30 for those not up on their chick flick one-liners.

Covers of Books

This video has gone viral . . . if you haven't seen it somewhere already, you probably will. I think everybody has felt misjudged before and I know I have. I have often had thoughts like, "If they just knew who I was inside, they would know I am really [fill in the blank . . . smart, funny, sweet, kind, etc.]" The cover doesn't always match the book and this little video was a good reminder for me to not be so quick to judge.

I reacted much like the audience did when this lady first walked out. I chuckled a little bit thinking that this was going to be one of those epic failures on just another reality talent show competition. Boy was I wrong. I think Simon Cowell's face says it all. To get the snarkiest Brit known to man to crack a grin of sheer enjoyment and give such a sincere compliment, her performance had to be amazing and it was. Enjoy.

The Best Gifts

I swear I find the funniest news stories sometimes. President and Mrs. Obama are in Europe for the G-20 Summit and they met with the Queen for the first time. Apparently, it's tradition for the visiting dignitary to offer the Queen a gift. President and Mrs. Obama presented the Queen with a fancy iPod loaded with selected music from Broadway shows on it. A lot of news stories say this was a bad move for Obama for several reasons: 1) She already has one. 2) She is 82 years old and may not be so technologically savvy. 3) He fouled up and gave the PM a bunch of DVDs that won't play in Europe (side note, like he couldn't find himself a nice American DVD player to use if he wanted to watch them?).

Far more funny was the gift the Obama's received from the Queen. They got a nicely framed (and autographed!) photo of the Queen herself and her husband, Prince Philip. I would have rather gotten the iPod! Apparently this is a standard gift from the British crown for visiting dignitaries. I laughed out loud. I now know what all of my friends and family are getting for gifts from now on. You can expect me to pick you out a nice frame and include a photo of yours truly!

Two New Boyfriends*

I had a fantastic vacation to Florida. It was so much fun to hang out with my mom and sister. We had a great time together. Here's the recap by day.

Day 1

Arrival in sunny Florida. It was sooooo nice. As soon as we got checked in, I was compelled by the balmy air to change into capris and flip flops. We got our tickets to Disneyworld all lined up and ate dinner at our resort. We stayed in Coronado Springs. It's one of the Disneyworld resorts. It's Spanish style. There's a big lake in the middle. There are 3 swimming pools, restaurants, and a gift shop. There is a trail that goes all the way around the lake. We ate dinner at Maya Grill and Jessie and I took a nice walk around the lake. We turned in fairly early for round 1 at Disneyworld.

This is a picture of the main building at our resort.

Day 2

We got an early start and headed over to Epcot. It was surprisingly not busy! We started out at Futureworld and had minimal waits on all of the rides we wanted to go on. There were some new rides that were a lot of fun as well as the old ones I remember from my first trip to Disney about 12 years ago. We started out with Soarin' which is also at California Adventure in Disneyland. It makes you feel like you're hang gliding over California. It was a highlight. We rode the other ride in "The Land" which takes you through Disney's horticulture experiments. Very progressive and very cool. We headed over to "The Seas" and rode the new ride there and looked at the manatees and other stuff in the aquarium. We easily could have spent longer at both places, but we tried to get the highlights. We went on Spaceship Earth which was similar to what I had remembered. That's the ride in the big golfball-looking thing. Next stop was Mission: Space. Jessie and I made mom go on the "more intense" orange ride instead of the "less intense" green ride. She had second thoughts the whole time and when we got strapped in and saw the barf bags, she knew she was in for it. I felt a little wave of nausea after, but she felt a big one! We were going to go on the ride at Test Track, but the wait was too long so we got a fast pass (beautiful idea, Disney!) and wandered over to World Showcase. We had reservations to eat in the Mexico Pavilion at the San Angelo Inn. Jessie and mom loved their food, but I didn't so much care for it. It didn't help that I ordered chicken enchiladas and got shrimp (which they did replace). We wandered around World Showcase some more and saw some fantastic Chinese acrobats. We watched the movie in China and that's where I found one of two new boyfriends. Mom nabbed us a bench for Imaginations (the fireworks show) and Jessie and I headed back over to Test Track. We watched the fireworks and then walked around the rest of the World Showcase, stopping for dessert in France. We came back to the hotel and were exhausted.

An awfully flexible gal!

Day 3

Jessie and I ran into some trouble picking up our rental car from the airport and after a taxi ride with a nice Jamaican gentleman, we were on our way to the beach and some rest and relaxation. A lady I work with lives in Florida and I asked her favorite beach before I left. She told me Siesta Key. It's on the Gulf Coast near Sarasota. Jessie and I decided the drive would be worth it. We got a sporty little compact and were off. The beach was stunning. The sand was so white and so soft. We went out into the ocean and jumped in the waves. I don't know if it's a real thing or not, but I think it's fun! We walked up and down the beach, collected sand and shells, and then headed back to Disney.

The Gulf of Mexico

Baby powder fine sand! Feels fantastic on your feet.

A little sand autograph.

I'm kind of proud of this picture. Nothing more stunning than a beach sunset and that bird flew by at just the right time!

Day 4

Sunday was rainy. Turns out that there were some NFL players who were out in a boat near Siesta Key where we had been the day before. They got caught in that storm and two of the three died! Jessie and I went to church in Kissimmee. It was fun to go to church outside of Utah. It's kind of a different experience. There are a lot of things that are the same and a lot of things that are different. It was nice. After church, it was chilly, but the sun had come out again. We were blessed for going to church. We got our rental car returned to the airport. We made our way over to Hollywood Studios. We went on Tower of Terror. Twice. So fun! The ambiance of the "Hollywood Hotel" is phenomenal. Disney spares no detail. Jessie and I went on the Rockin' Roller Coaster. We then wandered back over to Epcot for dinner and walked around some more. We had "extra magic hours" the next day because we were guests at Disneyworld so we opted to turn in early so we could take advantage of the smaller crowds and head over to Animal Kingdom.

Me embracing my inner rockstar waiting to go on the Rockin' Rollercoaster. I think I'll keep my day job!

Day 5

We go up early and headed over to Animal Kingdom. We headed straight for the Safari ride which was a lot of fun. We saw elephants, lions, hippos, ostriches, etc. It was neat. We went on Expedition Everest which was hands down my favorite ride. We went into Dinoland and went on one of the rides there. We went to the 3D show "It's Tough To Be a Bug" which was a lot of fun! Mom wanted to show Jessie and I the Animal Kingdom Lodge where she stayed the last time she went. It was a neat hotel. Very African! They have a "Savannah" where you can sit in these big rocking chairs and watch the animals. You could theoretically have a giraffe checking you out in your second floor window. Mom headed back to her conference and Jessie and I headed over to Magic Kingdom. Highlights were the Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. We also rode the Peter Pan ride which had a long wait and was LAME. I introduced Jessie to Dole Whip. We headed back over to Epcot and were sort of sorry we had! We were trying to see a show that wasn't playing. We headed back to the hotel again exhausted after a full day.
