Body Worlds

I am so super excited that Body Worlds is comming to utah. I had the chance to experience this in Arizona when I was visiting family but we didn't have that much time. And now no one will stop me. For those of you who do not know what this is here is a little explination...

Gunther von Hagens’ BODY WORLDS is the first anatomical exhibition of preserved human bodies, which was made available to the wide public. In the laboratory, visitors can experience firsthand how plastinates are produced. Every step of the Plastination process is explained in detail, from the anatomical preparation to the final specimen. In the exhibition, 150 body parts and organs and 15 whole-body plastinates are presented. Before entering the exhibit hall, visitors can familiarize themselves with the history of anatomy and tune in to the topic of anatomy and plastination.

This exhibition is going to be held at the U and it opens September 19th and will go until January. If you would like to check this out you can at www.theleonardo.org/bodyworlds.

200 and counting down

So it is official we are going to Hawaii!! I have been talking about this for the last couple years and we finally found one that we liked and fit our schedule.(We is me, Rob, my mom, my step dad, my grandma, my aunt, and my aunts friend)

We leave in 200 days notice the count down. The only bad thing is finding a flight now that so many went out of business and prices are crazy.

We are flying in early so we can do stuff on the main island like pearl harbor and the Polynesian cultural center then we get on the ship and go to all the other islands.
I am so excited you have no idea, I am really excited that I get to spend more than a week with Debbie and my grandma, but it is sad my aunt Jaime cant go with us. Its hard not seeing them all the time so it is something to look forward to this year. We really need a vacation. :)

Happy Birthday Jeni!!!!! (sunday)

Sunday is one of my very best friends birthday. We have been friends for 10 years now. We meet in early morning seminary. The first time we every hung out we called random people from the phone book, it was so funny. After that we hung out all the time. We would always be messing around at school and work pretty much everywhere. We worked at Dans for a while I was in the dairy and Jeni was in the produce we would hardly work and always just hang out in the back room of the produce. Oh those where the days.



We would drive around and try to find funny sounding licence plates. Cherry Pepsi and splash were what we always drank. We would always have little inside jokes. She would always make me laugh.




She is now living in New Zealand with her husband and i totally miss hanging out with her. So Jeni I hope you have the best day I love ya and miss you:)

P.S. I am working on your present it will be there in a couple weeks.

Home sweet home

So Rob and I are building a townhouse. For those of you that dont know the story here it is....
About a year ago we wanted to start looking for houses that are not built yet like in a community. We found this one just driving by ft. union but they were almost all built and alittle out of our price range and the guy there told us about their other communtiy down by state street in sandy so we went and looked at it and it was perfect and it wasn't going to be built for about 6 months. Well they keep pushing the date.
Well Rob got really sick of how his boss way treating him so he started looking for a new job and a kid on his paintball team had a dad that owns his own shop, and he was LDS so that was a bonus. The only thing was it was in bountiful and it didnt make sence to live in sandy when both our jobs were more north. He went back and forth with this decision for about a week. He finally decided to take the job and put his two weeks in. So i was bumbed because we found that house and really liked it. So we started looking north for another community that was like the other one. I was looking all day at work and nothing seemed to fit, and 15 min before I had to leave work I found this house on ksl and printed out the specs. I showed rob when he picked me up and we decided to go look at least.
When we got there it seemed cute and alot of it is not built yet. We went in and found out all the specs and it seemed really good. This is just like the other one we wanted in sandy. So we went home and thought about it, then that saturday we took my mom and brian to go see (she liked it because i would be closer to her) so we put a deposit in and had a week to make a final decision. The next saturday we made it offical. These townhomes are better then the ones in sandy because they are cheaper for one and they came with alot of stuff that we would have upgraded in the other one, and my uncle DJ is able to be our agent so he gets something out of it too.
It will be done around the end of July. We are so excited to have our own house and a backyard so twix can run around. You wouldnt think he needs to run around beacuse he is so small but he runs around the appt. with the cat all the time and he is fast (he can out run me). We have already had our design center meeting and picked out everything.
Rob loves to go visit the site every week and take picture of the progress, its fun. So this is our foundation #112. There will be more photos following the next couple months.


P.S. Rob never took the job he ended up staying because the son who is the manager convinced his dad the owner to retire and he got a raise. But we figure it was for the better, this house is better decision its still only 15 min from work and I am closer to my mom so we can see her more.
