Trans-Siberian Orchestra

My Christmas suprise to Richard took place on the day before Thanksgiving, because it was pretty pricey we made a whole night of it and called it our Christmas present to ourselves.
Richard picked me up from work at five and we headed up to SLC for dinner and a show. We went to the Garden Room at the top of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. It was DELICIOUS! And it was so fun to sit at the top of the building with such a beautiful view of SLC.
After dinner we headed over to Energy Solutions Arena for an AMAZING Christmas Concert. It was put on by Trans-Siberian Orchestra. It was soooo cool. Here are a few pictures from the evening.

Two of My Favorite People

Last night I got to hang out with two of my favorite people in the whole world! Diane was supposed to leave for her mission on January 6th, but it got moved up to November 18th so she is leaving next week!

We got together for one last time before she leaves on her mission! It was so fun! We went to Zupa's for dinner and then we got kicked out of there around 930 so we went and sat in the car and talked until like 11.

It was a lot of fun to catch up. Even though we live close we don't get to see each other very often because unfortunately LIFE IS BUSY! Who knows where we will all be when Diane gets back Spring/Summer 2011...things change so quickly!

Love you girls! Diane, you will be GREAT! :)

This is when being competitive jumps WAY across the line of being okay...

Quiet Way Gallery

Quiet Way has a fantastic art gallery going on right now in Salt Lake City at Pierpont Place. The art featured is a Kenyan series by Eric Dowdle and a Kenyan series by photographer Justin Grant. Both of these artist's recently traveled to Kenya with Quiet Way and as a result are sharing their wonderful talent with us. If you are in town or want to go to town to see a fantastic art gallery here are the times that it is open...

Friday: 6pm-midnight
Saturday: noon-8pm
Sunday: noon-6pm

There are beautiful pieces of art on display from both artists so go check it out!

You can find Eric Dowdle Folkart and Justin Grant Photography on Facebook to get a preview of what their art is like (but real life is WAY better).

ESPN GameDay! Unfortunately the cheering didn't last through the game. :( But, I must say that this is a great picture, especially considering we'd been up since 4 AM! :)

GameDay

Tomorrow is a huge football game for BYU. It is BYU vs TCU (undefeated) in Provo. And it is getting national attention....tomorrow morning ESPN College GameDay will be live from BYU Campus! :)

And yes...in case you are wondering...there are people camping out in the parking lot of Lavell Edwards Stadium.

Football Fun

We went to a little tailgate party before one of the BYU football games and they painted our legs for us.
