temples to dot the earth.

Sean's brother, Seth, debuted this video about temples today. You can see more of his work here and here. This was such an awesome reminder to me of the growth of our church and the amazing work that has been done since the restoration of the gospel. The video is amazing, Seth. To all of you bloggers: enjoy & pass it on!

not impressed.

I guess the Alpine Slide was not as thrilling as he anticipated.

we're back!

well, it's been a while, hasn't it? this may have been the busiest/craziest/most stressful couple of weeks EVER! even so, we had a lot of fun. this is what we've been up to:

thursday, sean quit his job and will soon be starting a new company. and we're SUPER excited!
friday, preparing like crazy for the Managing Directors conference this week, running to the hospital to get an x-ray, hanging out with our friends and having the best shake that i've had in a long time {article circle's raspberry cheesecake... yum}, hearing sean's story about the fat man & puppies, staying out til 1am when i really should have gone to bed at 10 :).
saturday, shopping/working from 8:30am to noon, choir audition at 1pm, shopping/working from 2ish to 7pm, jamming out to some classic alanis morrisette tunes with heather on our rides to & from the cabin, Sean's friends over palying Halo and watching the "Redeem Team" till 3 in the morning!
monday, chauffeuring/hiking timapanogos/chauffeuring from 11am to midnight, hanging out with our Arbinger friends from mexico, canada, singapore, dubai, the netherlands, the uk, the us, china, japan, south africa, new zealand, france, israel, etc! taking mette to the supermarket and watching her reactions {she was SOO excited!}.
tuesday, had the worst day ever {exhausted from monday's activities, late to work, missing keys, dr pepper all over my pants, flat tire, ripped shirt, generally in a cranky mood and wanting to cry about everything, contemplated quitting the blog... yes THAT is how cranky I was. HA! etc.}
wednesday, working from 9-5, passing out on the couch after work.
thursday, working from 7:30 to 1:30 and 2:30 to 7:00ish, had soooo much fun at park city mountain resort and felt soooo relieved when the night was over!
friday, i have the day off! hooray!

this weekend: i plan to be lazy, go to swiss days, be lazy, be lazy, clean my house, be lazy and have a fun labor day!

oliver needs a new home.

Due to some recent circumstances {involving a new family friend and an allergy issue}, my parents have to say goodbye to their kitty. Oliver is 2 years old and is neutered and declawed. He was pretty feisty for a while {playful biting}, but has really mellowed out. Oliver stays inside for most of the day, but is used to spending a little time outside every day {he stays close to home}. If anyone would like to adopt this cute orange tabby, let me know asap! Obviously sending him to a shelter {where he will most likely spend a few weeks in a kennel and then be put to sleep} is the last resort, but my parents can't keep him anymore.
Comment if you're interested!

it's been so long.

seriously, i used to post about david so often that i added a label for him {see below}. it's been too long! our cute little david's single, crush, debuted at #2 on the billboard charts this week! i like it. kind of more poppy than i usually like... but let's be serious, i love the kid. he could sing anything and i would love it.
