Rascal Flatts Concert

The Stage! I was at the very top dancing away
Cassie, Kristin, Andrea


I love Rascal Flatts and I am not ashamed to admit I like good country music. I have wanted to see them in concert for about 4 years now and was so excited to hear they would be playing down the street from my home at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater. Since I took a camera with a battery about to die I didn't get to take hardly any photos. These will have to due for my memory book.

This is for all those office lovers. I decided it was about time for something a little funnier on here. You will only get the quote if you watch the show. I am long over due to blog about all the changes in my life and will be sure to find time this week. Here is to another wonderful busy week. I have Friday off because it is SPRING BREAK for the college!! I miss those days when I could take a week off from school and work and enjoy a real spring break.

"The future doesn't belong to the faint-hearted. It belongs to the brave." Ronald Reagan
I came across this quote on a friends facebook and felt like this was great quote to start off the month of March. I hope to be able to get some of my old posts up soon but need to move photos from the house desktop to my laptop first. It also takes me time to track photos down from my friends. This month is going to busy and I look forward to my new adventures coming.

Bonfire


This is what I love most about camping and the summer. The coming home and smelling like fire is not the best but sitting around the fire talking with friends and just letting my worries go for the evening. On Friday night I joined a few friends for the evening while we talked and laughed and enjoyed the fire.

Baby Shower








On Saturday I attended my cousin Melissa baby shower in Newport Beach. You can tell in the photo above that this baby is coming soon. She is due in 2 weeks and with any luck she will be able to go a little sooner. I send all my best wishes and will be sure to come up this month to meet the newest Marquis. It was a wonderful day and so great to see my cousins again.

Friday the 13th in SLC

I began my Friday morning by meeting Ryan at Park City to ski for the day. I am grateful for his friendship and for the wonderful day on the mountain together. He took me down some double black diamond runs and into the trees. We met 7 years ago at Utah State at a hockey game and became friends from the first meeting. Thanks Ryan for your friendship and taking time to hang out with me.


My old civic and were reunited this weekend and I was hooked up with some skis from my uncle Tom. For anyone looking to rent or buy visit Norda's in Park City and Logan. Thanks TomE for the skis.

After skiing it was back to play with Jack and Lily for a few hours. We played with his toys and watched a movie.

Short story here about those sun glasses. Cavett came out to visit in 2005 before he headed off to fight for this country. He left them in my car and I just kept them this whole time. He was reunited with them again before dinner.


I met the guys for dinner in SLC at Pier 49 Pizza. Thanks guys for a fun evening and catching up.

Raining OC weekend with Kirsten


Kirsten flew in from San Fran on Saturday Feb 7th to a very wet Orange County. We headed into Huntington Beach to check things out and show her the area and I managed to ge a few photos. We hit up Newport Fashion Island and South Coast Plaza. Saturday night was dinner with a big group of girls at the Cheesecake Factory.
Sunday night I invited over a few friends for dinner and games. I cooked up flank stake, potatoes, salad, bread, veggies.
Monday morning we headed out in the rain for a run before we headed off to lunch and the airport. It was a super fun weekend having a friend around to play and talk with all day. It was just a big bummer we had rain all weekend long.
Tuesday night I arranged to meet Corbett and friends for dinner at the Cheesecake Factory at Fashion Island. Corbett was celebrating a birthday and I wanted to help celebrate before I left town. I am so grateful for all of their friendships and enjoyed dinner and conversation.

LA Day

THE HOUSE OF THE LORD LOS ANGELES TEMPLE THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS




I was super excited to join Anthony today as he experienced the temple endowment session for the first time. My friend Annalee met me at my home to make the drive up to LA today at 11:00a.m. We made a stop for lunch at IN N OUT in LA and made it in time for the 1:30 session. Following the temple session I took a few shots around temple grounds since I was carry my D90. Following the temple it was about time for dinner. So I was off to my favorite taco place in LA, and without fail the place was packed but totally worth the wait.



The night was still young so Annalee and I headed off to Santa Monica 3rd street promenade. This street is pretty cool with a bunch of street preformers and fun shops and some very interesting people to watch. I thought I took video of this group dancing but I guess I don't know how to work it since I came home without the video. Maybe next time I will have my camera better figured out.

Meet Curious George. The guy holding this saw me walk by looking at Curious George and my massive camera around my neck. He asked me to take a photo and then says I should give him money. Yeah right! Dude it is a stuffed money and I am not giving you a dime. So thanks for carry around a stuffed monkey.
Bummed I didn't get this video since it was rad.
Another wonderful weekend and great day in LA!
