High School Reunion....

Has it really been 20 years!?!?!? I suppose so... although it doesn't feel like it! Anyway, I had a wonderful time at the reunion and Troy was a total trooper. He had a great time getting to know everyone and even danced with me! :)
I had been fighting an ear and sinus infection, which was no fun, but we still had a great time, despite the fact that I barely had a voice.
We danced, we socialized, we goofed off and just generally had a fun time! :)

Summer Concerts...

Our summer has consisted of way too much work for Troy, some very fun trips, and lots of crazy projects for me... most of which Troy gets dragged into as well.

One of our projects has been the Twilight Concert Series that the Salt Lake Arts Council puts on each summer.

Each week there are an average of about 23,000 people at the park. The concerts are free for the public. Troy and I have been helping with the VIP section, which is basically the area reserved for the sponsors that make the concerts free for everyone else.

The last concert is this week and I think it's going to be CRAZY! It's a fairly well-known band and being the last one of the season, it always draws a big crowd.

It's been a fun crazy summer!

Here's some more detail on the concerts...

Family Trip to Kauai...

We had SUCH a wonderful time on Kauai with the WHOLE FAMILY! Thanks Mom and Dad for such a great trip! Thanks everyone for making it so fun!

There is a cute little church in Kapaa... I don't know how many people actually live in the branch/ward, but the majority looked like visitoers to me. Regardless... everyone was very nice. :)
