Life Is Good!

The Dark Knight

I saw 'The Dark Knight' for the first time tonight and LOVED it!!! Jacob my cousin also watched it with me and liked it as well. I thought that the Joker, played by Heath Ledger, was amazing!!! So much, in fact, that Jacob and I decided to have a little fun and paint him up like the Joker. This is the picture we took right after. Whatta think? I wanted it dark and blurry so that is why I picked this one.

Been Awhile...

Well I've gone through another cell phone since the last time I've posted. The lake always seems to make friends with my phone EVERY stinkin' summer. On a happier note, I replaced it and it is a really nice phone. It has many features that I like. Woo!! :)

Jacob has been down for a week, today, and we have been having lots of fun together; The Dynamic Duo. I've felt close to this kid ever since he was born. He used to call me " 'His' Kyle." We've gone to the lake 3 times so far and I anticipate going a few more times while he's here. Jacob's birthday was a couple weeks ago, May 25th, and so I bought him a birthday present yesterday. He picked this Lego set that is themed after Indiana Jones. He had me help him build it. It was fun seeing him so excited about it :) He is down for another week so we'll see if his actions appear on the blog again.

WICKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"None of it seems to matter anymore." I had been counting down the days to see Wicked for 6 months. And...now it's all over :( It did not hit me that I was seeing the show until we walked into the Capitol Theater and saw the stage set for the first scene; a glowing map of Oz! It was an amazing show overall--it is Broadway after all. We saw the understudies for three of the leads. Glinda the good witch, Fiyero the heartthrob of the show, and Boq the eventual Tin Man. Marissa Lupp played Glinda and she is an amazing actress. Her voice could have been more impressive--hence her part as the Stand By. The set, costumes, lights and props were exact as they are in New York. It was definitely a great Broadway Tour. I can't believe I had the chance to see it!!!!! Go see it if you get the chance!!!!!!!

I have no words to describe how grateful I am for....everything in my life.
I've just been reminded how amazing and important friendship is. How important family is. How important the gospel is and just life in general.
How could we get along without family and friendship? These people are with us always, we better be grateful for the example that they set for us. I cannot tell you how amazed I am at the quality of friends that I have luckily snagged. Friends, may I add, that still love me despite my craziness...haha.
Can I just say that I LOVE music. There is no way that I could live without it. It's seriously the stuff that makes the world go round. Lately I've been listening to a mix of David Archuleta and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. An interesting concoction of music styles, yes, but I recently saw Archuleta in concert and liked the music, and you can't go wrong with Mo-Tab.
I just got back from a trip up to Salt Lake and I can honestly say that I am no city boy. I hated the traffic and just the whole idea of jam-packed areas of people. So, the drive home was quite peaceful as more and more open spaces...opened up haha. I love Southern Utah.
Well, as always please comment and let me know what you guys are grateful for, I love reading your comments.

Life :)

What a wonderful life it is eh? It is such a great feeling to know that when times are blue, or when things don't go the way you would have liked, there will always be a brighter day ahead. In such cases I know we all hope and wish that the brighter day will come quickly. That's life right? Michael Buble's song "That's Life" talks about this exact point, that life goes on. Dang good thing, too :) It's a great blessing to have great friends and family around in times of blue :) Of course, we cannot forget who we can always call on in such times.

There is your thought of the day :)
