The Flaming Mustache

Above is a link to view The Flaming Mustache. I was walking to campus one day (today, actually) and I saw a very strange sight--A Flaming Mustache. I know the clarity of my camera phone isn't too great, but I think the mustache-ness is clearly visible. This was near the Museum of Art (one of their artistic displays, I assume) and I'd love to hear what ya'll think it represents! =)

In-N-Out Baby!!

I've had a crazy hankerin' for In-N-Out since my family moved to Kansas from Cali nearly 5 years ago... and now there's one in Orem!! I made Daniel take me to enjoy a #2 with animal style fries and a choco milk shake (yep, I still remember how to order). It was heavenly. As I sent my family pictures of the glorious event, all they could reply with were death threats, but who could blame them? I'd be jealous too!

The Ultimate Update: Part 1 (Homecoming and Halloween)

Ok, so we finally figured out an efficient way to get all of the pictures and videos off of our phones (aka a MicroSD card), and this is the result: The Ultimate Update. This is our version of catch-up for the old bloggy here.
We begin our update journey with Halloween. We dressed as crayons--Daniel a Texas Burnt Orange and myself as a Sharpened Purple. Take a look-see.
We received "Funniest Costumes" at our ward party. My sharpened hair-do was a hit. Later, we went to a dance hosted by our cousins Lisa and Cole Bell. It was a lot of fun!
This is Daniel participating in a relay (which we unfortunately lost). He had to eat a doughnut off a string, but the doughnut was positioned a bit low for my super-tall, handsome hubby.
Last of all for our Upadate, Part 1: this is Daniel and I on our way to the Homecoming Dance at Thanksgiving Point, Fall 2009. Homecoming is one of our traditions since that was our first date. I wore a super-cute pink dress that I got from the Adams (which unfortunately, you can't see in this-the-only-picture!). It's a wonderful tradition =) Probably our best one, haha.

The Inevitable and Dreaded Utah Snow...

The inevitable and dreaded Utah snow has finally arrived. I had been hoping I would not have to meet her wrath face-to-face but unfortunately the hour of conflict has come in the form of a torrential blizzard.

Supposedly the awful snow will continue for the duration of this week! The snow continues to fall even as I type this woeful entry.

I used to love the snow before I came to Utah for school. After day, after day, after day of walking in the horrid frozen moisture, I have come to the conclusion that I loathe it.

Wanna know the worst part?? I'm guessing by the time we get to Kansas in two weeks, it too will be covered in the fluffy, cold, white stuff. Even worse: El Paso, TX (our supposed warm winter getaway this year) has had snow on the ground for the past week as well!!

Provo is a Winter WonderNOT.

On the bright side, the snow does make for pretty pictures and a good excuse to curl up on the couch next to my HANDSOME hubby with the Christmas lights on and a mug of apple cider or hot cocoa... mmmMMMmmm...

Savior of the World December 2 2009

On Wednesday, Daniel & I went with Lisa & Cole Bell to see "Savior of the World" at the Conference Center. Who knew there was a smaller theater housed in the humongous Conference Center?! We didn't, that's for sure. The musical was amazing and wonderfully spiritual. It covered the events prior to and leading up to the birth of Christ, followed by a second act covering the events of the resurrection. It was a lot of fun!

Seattle Trip, Continued

Daniel and I flew out to Seattle on October 8th for Amy & Steve's beautiful Autumn wedding! 

While we were out there, Dan's family took us all to Ivar's--a seafood restaraunt right on the beach. 

 (Our meal: fish, chips, and clam chowder... all fresh)

On the pier, there were these seagulls who would play "fetch" for scraps of food. They sat on the railing and if you tossed food their way, they would jump or dive to catch it in their beaks! They were not scared of people one bit! These crazy seagulls provided several minutes of entertainment.

We walked along Pike Street, toured the market, and went to the shore. 

Later, we went to Snoqualmie Falls and had some fun at the lookout. Unfortunately, the trail that would have taken us closer to the falls was closed.

(What a sweet big brother, threatening to throw poor Sethy off the treacherous cliff!)

The trip was a great break from our classes and the wedding was absolutely beautiful! Unfortunately, we don't have any pictures of the wedding to share... so you'll just have to take our word for it!
