Bean Museum & the Living Planet Aquarium

For those not from Utah, no it is not a museum featuring lentils. It is named after a Mr. Bean, although not the funny PBS one. We met up with my sister Paige and her son Jamison and wandered around the museum for about 2 hours until it was certain that Kennedy had seen every last animal and insect in the building. She loved it! We also recently met up with some friends at the Living Planet Aquarium. This was also a hit. For the next 3 days after Kennedy was talking about the penguins. Perhaps if my computer will be nice to me I will post a video of her laughing at them swimming by :)




Yes, I am juvenile.. I think the name of this fish is funny :)

An ode to my friend.

Although you have only been in my life for five years, it feels like you have always been there. I'll miss you, but I know that your life in New York will be an amazing adventure.

These are a few of the reasons I adore you (I couldn't possibly list them all.... Just not enough time)

1- You order your food in Japanese when we go out for sushi.
2- The laugh you get when you really think something is funny...
3- Your ability to make friends wherever you go.
4- Best white chop stick user I have ever seen ;)
5- You are SO generous.
6- You have THE most amazing singing voice.
7- Best roommate EVER!
8- You can just tell when I am not OK.
9- Because you like random
10- Because tennis is your middle name... I think.
11- You are so strong and stoic in the face of adversity.
12- You always try to make others feel welcome.

13- You have an extensive disco-skating wardrobe, and you aren't afraid to flaunt it.
14- Just because you are you.
I miss you already. Although our lives have already taken different paths, just know that I am immensely grateful for your friendship. I would not be the person I am today with out you. You have always been there when I needed to talk, or a shoulder to cry on.

Baby Shower

I am a little bit late posting this, but you'll all forgive me right? I have a really good excuse, I promise ;). Mistee and Jana (my two amazing running partners) threw me a shower about a month ago. We went to Los Hermanos.... MMMMMM. And I was spoiled rotten. Here are a few pictures.
