Whiskey and Utah Go Hand-in-Hand

I have to say I love the Wizard of reference. And Brendan the fact that you are the Wizard explains so much!



Well, friends traveled on bikes through the streets of Salt Lake City to visit the first Distillery in Utah (that is in at least a hundred years). Thanks Brendan. The whiskey tasting was wonderful and your friends are great for helping me get a bike for the day. We all finished the day off at the Living Traditions Festival with good food and a bit more to drink.

Seattle and Devotchka

Took a day and a half to travel Seattle, Washington and enjoy one of my favorite bands with two great friends.

The three crazy travelers!

Who doesn't take a photo of this in Seattle?

Devotchka rocks! And yes I love Tom the violinist.

I love the water. And the boy hugging me is pretty nice too.

Love the band, and cool night air as we walked back to the hotel.

Graduation

Dinner with friends and family the night before

The first photo I took after receiving my masters hood!

OHHH!!!! A master's hood is pretty when put on properly.

The parents. My mom is also a Utah State University Graduate. Dad studied there too.

Me and my sister a top the Aggie A again.

Well, it's done. Or at least except for a few signatures. I have earned my hood and I am now a Masters of Science in American Studies with an emphasis in Folklore. Long title right. Well, just putting a few photos for all to see, if you would like. Thanks everyone for all your help.

Glimpses from a Birthday Day!

So it was my birthday a few days ago and I thought I'd share some of the photos that took place from my endeavors from 7:00 am to 2:00 am the next day. Thanks to all for making it a special day. And Georgia, I would put the song you made for me on here, but I don't know how. So I can only place the video we made with a brief amount of the song in it. And yes people, I am a bit crazy but I do remember it is best to have a designated driver on your birthday.


Started the day with morning coffee and chocolate cake, and I love Spring blossoms.

No I didn't have a child, but I do have the most adorable niece--Jameson, her mom Bobi, and I went to the zoo for the day.

Dinner with the best girl in the world Georgia, we laughed the whole way to Martine's because of the song she wrote for my birthday.

Josh Wells, what more can I say. It is great to have you back in SLC.

Mike, Brendan, Me, and Brian. Love the boys and appreciate their willingness to go to a martini bar for my birthday!
