We have our alarm clock set to NPR in the morning so we can kind of know what’s going on in the world. This morning the news was about riots in Haiti because they can’t afford food. About a half an hour later there was a story on how Americans spent $1.7 billion on video games last month–50 % more than March last year. Something is wrong here. I heard about this website a while ago that I think is…
Audrey told me about this the other day. Apparently the Washington Post did an experiment last year where they took one of the best violinists in the world, Joshua Bell, and had him play impromptu at a metro station just to see what would happen. Out of the more than 1,000 people who walked by during the 45 minute long performance only a small handful even stopped for more than a few seconds on their way to work that morning….
Since we passed the one year milestone on our matrimonial bliss we had the opportunity to follow the tradition of eating the top of our wedding cake. Granted we had heard many horror stories about how bad wedding cake can be after a whole year. However, due to the excellent packing and freezing abilities of Wayne McConkie ours was as good as the day it came out of the oven.
It’s the last day of March and the snowplows were out this morning. As we trekked up the icy sidewalk to school I pondered upon why they call it Spring semester, thus far I have not come up with any logical answers. I’m thinking about moving to Mexico.

We stayed in a lovely B&B in Virginia and saw such cultural sights such as the Puffy Shirt from Seinfeld and Mr. Rogers Cardigan. While we were at it we also checked out some Smithsonians, some monuments . . .
I think the residents of Logan are ready for spring.

In the spirit of holiday miracles we received a camera and managed to keep it in our possession . . . so far. During our precious three weeks of freedom we managed to enjoy many wonderful winter sports such as downhill skiing (a free ski trip to The Canyons with the cousins, courtesy of Warren Miller), cross country skiing (in the Arctic wilderness of Logan Canyon), and shoveling our driveway (in the frozen tundra of our driveway). Other than that,…
School is out and we’re partying. Join in our affinity for elvish culture. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas.
Here we are Mr. Harry Potter and Mrs. Ginerva Weasley-Potter, post book seven. We had our wands, flying brooms, official lightning bolt scar, and authentic theme music. And, this pumpkin had too much candy.
