Antelope Island

Saturday I went out to the Antelope Island Stampede with my parents. It was a great time! A little warm, to say the least, but I got a great henna tattoo, watched professional kite flyers–(I want to go to there . . .) and listened to some live music. I’m not gonna say it wasContinue reading “Antelope Island”

Bicycle Voice at Aperture Gallery

Saturday night I went to the Aperture Gallery in Sugar House to see some local artists and to listen to the lovely and talented Meg Webb, aka Bicycle Voice. Her set was just delightful. August nights in Utah are delightful. They are cool and refreshing. I was alone and happy. As I walked through theContinue reading “Bicycle Voice at Aperture Gallery”

Sam I Was by Sam Wessel

This weekend was my first weekend living in Salt Lake City. I enjoyed myself. It was chill and artsy fartsy. Friday night I went to the Salt Lake Acting Company to see Sam I Was . It was a beautifully written musical memoir about a 21 year old guy who gets Leukemia. There were aContinue reading “Sam I Was by Sam Wessel”

Family History

My little brother and I are working on family history with my Grandma. She has spent years and years collecting pictures, stories, birth certificates–you name it. We have pictures of headstones, and a family portrait of a little family on the edge of the Oklahoma Territory, accounts written in letters from the 1800s–it’s absolutely amazing.Continue reading “Family History”

The Tree Fell Down

no really…it totally broke in half. What do you do when a tree breaks in half and falls down? I call a tree removal service. Not my parents. Nope. My step-dad grabbed his chainsaw and went to work chopping up the tree. I threw the pieces over the fence. Apparently yellow jackets were rather fondContinue reading “The Tree Fell Down”

And the Winner is…

me! My mom and I went to an auction at Tony Caputo’s fine deli for the Literacy Action Center in Salt Lake City this week. I was rather mischievous in my bidding. I bid $5 on all sorts of items I knew people would skip over. We made out like bandits! Don’t get me wrong,Continue reading “And the Winner is…”

Good Job Evey! Way to Breathe!

I’ve spent the day in bed today just trying to feel nothing. I realize that I’m a total wimp, but I just didn’t want to face the world today. So . . . I didn’t. The next time I date someone and they ask me, “How are you still single?”–I’m not really sure how IContinue reading “Good Job Evey! Way to Breathe!”

Ticked Off

If you have about 12 minutes, watch this. I know that Keith Olbermann can be as unappealing to my conservative friends as Glenn Beck is to me–but he makes some very good points. I especially enjoy the facts surrounding the actual Ground Zero Mosque. It is 3-4 blocks away. It is a community center, NOTContinue reading “Ticked Off”

Ups and Downs

It’s 11:34pm.I’ve been in Utah for 11 days.I’ve spent time with my Aunt MaryLou, Uncle Lee, Aunt Nancy, Uncle Doug, Nana, Popop, several cousins, my mom, step-dad, brother Nick, Heather, Chris, Kris, Grandma, and the members of my parent’s ward at the Ward Picnic. It’s been really nice to catch up with friends and family.AndContinue reading “Ups and Downs”

Landscapes around Vernal

The Drive from Salt Lake City to Vernal is filled with some of the most beautiful vistas. The land changes from Alpine forest, to red rock cliffs, to lakes, to green rolling hills, to desert plateaus–all within the 3 hour journey. It’s pretty mesmerizing. I went to Vernal this weekend to visit my Dad’s sideContinue reading “Landscapes around Vernal”
