update

its been a few days since ive posted anything on my blog so i thought it would be a good time to do a little updating on what has been going on lately...by the way, sorry, no pictures today. with heidi being out of town my source for photos has been put temporarily out of commision... so lindsay you can stop reading and ill understand.

yesterday i had a paper due in my french class that was on these statues from the museam of fine art at the U...hence the ensignia above. we were to pick something from the 17th or 18th century and do a visual/textual analysis of it. as i said, i did mine on a pair of small cherubs statues. i think it turned out fairly well and i really actually enjoyed hanging out at the museum. i hadnt been in there for a year or so and i had forgotten how nice it was...i dont know how it compares to the MOA staci and travis but im sure it would beat it in an arm wrestle or something. anyway, it was nice to get my paper done and feel like it went pretty well.

in other news, work is still really busy and im ready for the cold weather to come so we can get a bit of a break...it wouldnt hurt either if west valley would finally replace some of our missing inspectors... i wont hold my breath waiting though. oh well.-- so mom and dad got me a laptop like moms for my birthday which has been pretty cool. i had to take back the first one we got but its replacement seems to be running fine. thanks again.

well i think that should be about it for now. talk to you all later

happy birthday heido

BOSOX IN 4

abd's through the bff's

can't believe the weekend is already over! i guess back to school and work tomorrow...wish these highly anticipated weekends wouldnt fly by so quickly though...oh well, i suppose there's always next weekend to look forward to now! anyway, enough complaining...here are some pics from last nights halloween/birthday shin dig with heidi's friends. as you can see it was a blast. it was really fun seeing and hanging out with everyone again...especially since i got off the hook by not having a food assignment. sweet!
earlier sat i took the cluffs to the 3D version of the nightmare before christmas. it was pretty cool! im a bit biased though since thats one of my all time favorite movies...so hopefully they enjoyed it too. no, they actually really like that movie too so it was pretty fun being able to see it in 3D with them. i think the next time i take them we'll go laser tagging. cant wait...i will destroy them.

grant my lat request

so while eating my birthday lunch at this pretty sweet restaurant with my family in vegas, this song came on that all of us liked but none of us knew who was singing it. well thanks to google and youtube the mystery is unraveled. paulo nutini. anyway, its a pretty cool song and i actually prefer this live version over that of the studio single. give it a listen.
vegas was really fun. the new baby is such a cool little guy and jay is as funny as ever...too bad coybin couldnt make it, but at least we were able to see him the week before. anywho, glad i was able to hang out and spend my big time birthday in vegas with most of the fam. ill have to snake some pictures from heidi or mom and post them on the blog.

ps - heidi was a trooper and drove the majority of the way home so i could sleep...thanks lu. ("kyle's sleeping next to me right now so i cant talk about that right now")

pss - GO FREAKIN REDSOX!

psss - i hate saying this kels, but the pats really are looking good. its only cuase they cheated against the jets though and got their momentum going early in the season! ha ha just kidding...maybe its just cause tom brady is amazing.

fall break

so today is the official second day this week that i have been able to sleep in...till 11:00...hooray fall break! too bad i couldnt get work off this week...otherwise id have been sleeping in everyday...oh well, two days are better than none.

so what else is new?, well lets see, not much. last weekend i was able to watch conference which was really good. I particularly enjoyed the talks by elder bednar, elder holland, elder enrique falabella, elder utchdorf, elder oaks, and elder monsons talk about the mom who lost her son during the war. heidi and i were able to go to the tabernacle on temple square and watch the sat afternoon session. we wanted to try and sneak into the conference center but it was too full...watching it at the tabernacle was fun all the same though. in fact i thought it was really cool to see how elder nelson helped elder wirthlin throughout his talk. pretty cool. otherwise, not much else to update about...im pumped to hear that coybin, clark, and staci are heading to town this weekend. it will be really fun to see and play with coybin this week and then be able to head out to vegas the following and play with jay and rex. pretty cool. well thats about it for today, talk to you all later.

sweet day for sports

how about manny's walk off homerun yesterday! Go redsox...and way to go yankees blowing it in extra innings. looks like things are going in my favor thus far in the playoffs...lets hope it keeps up.




nice job utes beating louisville!...in kentuky! good thing we cant figure out how to beat conference opponents though. oh well, beating ucla and louisville still makes the season thus far pretty sweet.
