UVSC

I had to put this on my blog because I really liked the architecture at UVSC. These are pictures of their colorful ceilings. The pipes were all exposed and painted bright colors. It was fun following them down the halls.

Baby and Me!!!

Here I am with my 'dorbell' nephew Cole at my cousin's wedding. He is sooooo cute. I even recorded him dancing to la musica for a while. But I'll have to show everyone on my laptop at request.

UpWard Bound Friends & Fun

As many of you know I disappeared for a month, but it was well worth it. I worked at a summer academic camp at UVSC called UpWard Bound. For four weeks I lived in apartments with teenage girls and served as their tutor/counselor (or TC). I ate, slept, studied, and did everything in between with the students and staff for the month of June. I did, however, have Saturdays off. In the above picture I am setting up a spider web with string for an Olympic event for the students with Moises and Mark (two other TC's).
ROAR!!! ROAR!!!! While setting up for another Olympic event I decided to play around. I tried on a random dinosaur costume that we had and crawled around the grass growling. Lani, one of the other TC's was a bit frightened by my fierce dino moves when I attacked her. It was pretty funny.

Here I am at the closing banquet with one of my girls, Meri Addy. It was hard to part because she isn't going on the trip with us to SLC next week. But I am sure we will keep in touch. She is an amazing person and has a great Knack for keeping people's attention and making them laugh. I will definitely miss her.

Here I am with all the other TC's at the final banquet (Mark, Lani, Me, and Moises). I loved working with them and know that we will all keep being friends. In fact I already have plans to go out with all of them.

2006 Scottish Festival

Everyone who knows me also knows that every year I attend the Utah Scottish Festival and Highland Games. It is one of the highlights of every year. I'm not kidding, I love it! I love the feeling of community, going back to our roots, bagpipes, the Wicked Tinkers, and YES...guys in kilts. Seriously, I love it when guys wear kilts. This years goal was to buy a T-Shirt that said "Real Men Wear Kilts," but they didn't have any my size. It was kind of funny because there was a really HOT and masculine guy walking around in a kilt with a shirt that said, "Mom, Dad, I'm Gaelic." I thought it was hilarious. Anywho... the festival is always the 2nd weekend in June, so I hope everyone will be able to go next year. There's plenty of time to plan now.
