Heater

Ryan and I have been living without heat for a couple weeks now....off and on. My wonderful dad has come over 3 times to try different things. We bought a new thermostat to see if that would solve the problem, and it didn't. Finally, I called the heating company and they came this morning and fixed it. Our 'mother board' had gone kaplunk. More than $400 later, we have heat! We're so excited!!

Have Musicals Gone Too Far?

I think so. I'm a huge show tunes fan. When Legally Blonde-the musical came out this year I thought it was crazy. Now I just heard the director of the new "Spider-Man the Musical" announce they want to open in New York. I guess there aren't enough Broadway houses, so they are looking into a tent, no joke. Does anyone else think Broadway has gone too far?

Christmas Concert

Here are some "backstage" pictures from the concert. Enjoy!

The dress rehearsal.
My partner, Nathan. Four people asked us if we were siblings.
Shanae, Me, Lindsey. Shanae and I danced together about ten years ago!
The Kings Singers
2 turtle doves and 4 calling birds.
The best part of the "12 days". 6 geese a laying. 3 french hens.

A beautiful conference center.

Closing night was so great. The first presidency gave the King Singers their geneologies as a "thank you." In return they dedicated"danny boy" to President Hinckley. When the choir sang "God be With You Till we Meet Again," it brought tears to my eyes. The spirit was so strong. What a neat experience it has been. I danced for the prophet. Read for more details of the concert.

Being Five-Snowman

Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concert

This week is going to be very hectic for me. I haven't danced in more than two years, and I have four performances this week. Ahh! I will spend the next five nights at the Conference Center, spending a total of about 30 hours. It's been a crazy last couple of months preparing, and only recently did I start to enjoy myself. We got to see the first group practice on Saturday and it almost made me cry. The music combined with the choir voices and movement is beautiful. It's been neat to see all that goes into this huge production. I hope all of you can come see it.

Snow Christmas Party

The annual Snow Family (Ryan's grandma's family) Christmas party was upon us. We didn't get a chance to go last year, so we were excited to go this year. The dinner was great and it was very nice to meet new relatives. The white elephant exchange was fun, besides the fact that every one kept stealing Ryan's gifts. We thought we were stuck with that green hat until someone snatched it.

This is our cousin Savannah. She's a doll.
Ryan ended up getting a blow dart gun. It's been quite entertaining for us. My plan worked and I got this beautiful Christus head. Not a bad white elephant, eh?
