Good Flick

I went to SLC this weekend with Kristine and roomies Kimberly and Sarah. On Friday night a group of us went and saw Across the Universe at Gateway. Oh wow....this movie is GLORIOUS. When I first saw the previews this summer I was intrigued by the idea of the flick...but not knowing if it would turn out to just be a lame creation of Beatle covers. After some good reviews from friends I saw it and I HAVE to go see it again. Last night I found out it came to the theaters in Idaho Falls so I plan on going this week or weekend. The soundtrack is off the HEEzy too. Can't get enough.

Happy Birthday T-Bone!

My nephew Tanner is SIX YEARS OLD today!

1. He has the best blonde, curly hair

2. I love it when he says "Yep" or "Kung Pow"

3. He is the bravest kid I know...we went on Tower of Terror and the kid didn't even flinch

4. His soft, brown skin is a dream

5. Gives real good "air" hugs and real hugs

6. A good brother to his 3 siblings.

"New York I Love You, But You're Bringing Me Down"

This summer my dream of all dreams came true and I got to go to New York City with my mom and sisters. We spent a good, solid week sight seeing all over Manhattan and I couldn't get enough. Thanks to my mom, and sisters Egan and Annie we had a great itinerary. I couldn't possibly write about everything we did, but lately I've been thinking about some of my favorites. My girlfriend Maggie left this morning for New York, she is going with the school to interview with some businesses. I had so much to tell her about New York, because she is only there for a short time I said she should go to:

SOHO...I adored every inch of that shopping district, every store, every person, every thing is Now. Style and Design is the name of the game.

Pinkberry and Rice to Riches... both in SOHO and both a delicious treat. I could eat Pinkberry everyday and Rice to Riches, well, there is nothing like it. Rice pudding? Rad.

Serendipity...sure it's mainly got a name for itself cause of Oprah, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't give it a try. I liked the food and the atmosphere. You're probably asking yourself if we tryed the frozen hot chocolate....we sure did. And boy was it worth it.

Dylan's Candy Shop...Ralph Laurens daughter is the genius behind this place and it's right down the street from Serendipity. The candy may be overpriced, but just walking around makes you feel like a kid in a candy shop...well....an adult in a candy shop!!!

Broadway...I saw Les Miserable and Wicked. They are AMAZING! I had seen Mary Poppins in London when I went in May, so I was thrilled to get to see two more fabulous musicals. I can't stop singing Wicked songs and Les Mis is a MUST.

Gotta have a Bagel in New York...I don't care where, but you just have to. It's a part of the experience. It's like going to Seattle and not having some type of sea food.

Thanks New York...I'll be seeing you again soon and THANKS DAD!

"You Know That I'm a God Fearin Man"

On September 26th I headed down to SLC with girlfriends Sarah and Maggie to see LCD Soundsystem and Arcade Fire. The show was at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, UT and it was a great night for an outside venue. Due to getting on the road late from Rexburg and some traffic we only caught the last 2 1/2 songs of LCD Soundsystem, but they were phenomenal. As for Arcade Fire...WOW...what a show. It is such an art to watch them. Very unique stuff. I've been listening to Neon Bible non stop since.

This should be interesting...

I've been intrigued by the blog idea for some time now and finally went for it. So...HERE I AM!!!! I'm in Rexburg, Idaho attending my final two semesters at BYU-Idaho before I head off with a degree in Elementary Eduaction. Boy oh boy, the years have flown by and each semester has been a BLAST. I'm also ready to graduate, yet, not knowing what my future holds. No clue where I'll be or what I'll be doing. Raise your glass *cheers* to an unpredictible future! DRINK up.
