Labor Day

You may have noticed that most of my posts take place on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Why? Because I have a shift in the SciTech Computer Lab on both of those mornings at 7:00 in the AM. I was just about to write about how I have been sitting here for an hour an a half without a single person coming in, BUT at 8:34 a student walked in and handed me his well worn student ID card in order to be allowed into the lab. He was shortly followed by another student who was wearing a great Utah State hat and who possessed an even MORE well worn student ID card. It is now 8:36.
I've already done all the homework I can handle (which means I've done all the homework that is due today) and facebook has again been banned from the labs. (No facebooking at work allowed.)

David and I had a fantastic weekend. On Friday we went to the Scarlet Pimpernel at the Hale Center Theatre in Salt Lake with Amy and Bruce. It was FABULOUS!

I absolutely love this play. I have seen it before at a community theatre, and fell in love with it then. I had such high hopes for it this time and I was NOT disappointed. The stage was amazing and the characters were perfect. If any of you have not seen the play, you should see it sometime in your life. I love it.

The rest of our weekend was excellent as well. We hung out at Davids house in WJ and played lots and lots of Canasta. :) Also, Sunday we had a party for all of the September birthdays and it just so happens that my birthday is September 15th! Yay! It was so much fun. I am so grateful for the way that the Peadens (and Renchers!) have accepted me into their family. I love them all. (Stay tuned for the pictures of the present that I made Wendy. I just forgot to bring the camera with those pictures on it to work today.)


Okay... so that is the recap of the weekend. However, I have some catching up to do! A couple of weeks ago, Amy came up to visit David and I in the wonderful land of Logan. We had a blast (we always do when we are around Amy). Aside from an unfortunate viewing of "Faith Like Potatoes", our weekend was success. The following are some pictures that we took while hiking Crimson Trail up Logan canyon. (These were the pictures that were taken on my camera. There are more pictures on Davids camera, but like I said earlier... I forgot the camera in the car. Sorry!)

This picture is complementary of Amy. We didn't know that she was taking the picture, but it turned out great!

We hiked up to these cool rock formation/cliffs. We ate lunch up here overlooking the canyon. It was beautiful, but the cliffs were high!

Here is a closeup. Love it. :)

This is one of my favorite pictures of the trip. The camera is set down on one of the rock formations and we are on another one, quite a bit away. David set it up, set the timer and then RAN from the camera over to the mountain, across the path, and then along the rock formation that we were on. He didn't make it in the ten seconds allotted on the first try, but he made it on the second try! (Not going to lie, I was a little nervous that he was going to trip and fall to his death, but I suppressed my "irrational fear" and I am happy to report that we all made it back from the hike alive!)

I promise that we got more pictures with Amy. We used Davids camera most of the time, but then his camera died... so we finished up the last few pictures with my camera. Maybe I will make David post with the rest of the pictures.
