The Christmas Tree Lot

As a house we went and got a tree. In the first pic you can see Sam acting as protector of the tree after we finally all decided on the same one but had to get assistance since there was no price tag on it. Sam spotted it. She gets all the credit. The second picture is us showing off our fine prospect. We even got a deal and stayed within budget. Success.

Library Card

I walked to the library in Salt Lake and got myself a card finally. I've been meaning to do it for quite some time now (I live two blocks south, so their is no excuse not to) but it feels good to have it in my possession. I snapped this blurry picture on my way home while still on the library grounds. PS The library in Salt Lake is one of the most unique and architecturally stunning buildings in Utah. Maybe instead of a blurry picture I'll post one of the building instead next time.

Granary District

A little while back Greg, Robin, Jordan, and I decided we wanted to get some food. It was a friday night and we were hungry so we started driving and lo and behold we found this block party happening just down the street from where I live on 700 south and decided to take part. We got some food, watched some live music, and learned about the revitalization taking place in this part of town. For more info on the Granary District click here.

Lucero

If you want to listen to a bar band; listen to Lucero. These guys have the perfect sound. I wasn't going to go to the show but I was convinced by the guy to whom I had introduced the band to, and who had seen them at least three or four times that I needed to go. It's not that I didn't want to go, I just had had a long day and to be honest it was the same night I saw Megafaun and I felt like I could get away with not seeing them. I ended up submitting to the peer pressure and going and I must say I'm glad I did. The crowd was into it, the band knew what they were doing and they put on a hell of a show. Thanks for the peer pressure Greg.

Wedding Bells

Taylor & Ana got married. It was a great day topped off with a great reception. I'm getting pretty good at this groomsman jazz, I must say. Although I didn't catch the Garter (I caught the last one at the last wedding I groomsmanned) it was successful and a truly memorable day. Taylor and I met during a study abroad program in Jerusalem a couple years back. After that experience I convinced him (it wasn't difficult) to move to Hawaii. It was there he met Ana and you get the picture what happened from there. I'm glad I had a chance to celebrate their togetherness and see it all come together. The fist picture is of the lovely couple just after their sealing in the Salt Lake Temple. The second is of me almost catching the garter ( I let Spencer get it. Sike, I didn't). The third picture is of the crew from Jerusalem. Some of the greatest people I know.
