Jim Brickman Concert

I never do this many fun things! First SF and Wicked, then the Manti pagent, and now a Jim Brickman concert! Roommate and I had been looking through the Scera Summer pamphlet we got in the mail a few months ago. I commented it would be super fun to go to the Jim Brickman concert. But then never did anything about it.

For my birthday last week, roommate surprised me with tickets to the concert! It was a beautiful night for the outdoor concert and I loved every minute of it. He is quite funny and very entertaining.

I think roommate had almost as much fun taking the pictures as she did listening to the concert. (my first photo didn't turn out too well - my hands were shaking - so she took over and did a marvelous job!)

Manti pagent

Roommate and I decided to go to the Manti pagent this week. The last time I remember going was 12 years ago, it's been a while. :) So Thursday night we hop in the car and head to Manti. She packed a picnic dinner and I drove. We got great parking just 2 blocks from the temple grounds and walked for a bit then found seats and sat down to eat dinner. Then she went on a walk and I was going to read my book, but sat and people watched instead. Once the sun went down, I froze (even with a sweatshirt and 2 blankets) but the pagent was nice. When it was over we got up and hurried to the car and got out of town in just a couple of minutes. Probably helped that it was a weeknight - but there was no sitting and waiting to get out of town. We made it back home by 12:30 - but I had taken Friday off of work, so I got to sleep in today. It was a fun adventure!

Weekend fun...

I had an amazing weekend full of fun. My mom, aunt, two sisters and I went to sunny San Francisco. Since we couldn't get tickets to Wicked when it came to Utah, we decided to go watch it in San Francisco. My office has an apartment there and we got to stay there for free. It was beautiful and had an amazing view of the Bay Bridge. (the photo was taken looking out the bedroom window)


The play was great and it was fun to go with my sister who hadn't seen it. (all the rest of us had) She was funny about it. I don't remember being that amazed by it, but is sure was good.

We walked along the wharf, saw Alcatraz (far off in the distance), saw the Golden Gate bridge (again, far off) and went to Ghirardelli square and bought chocolate (would you expect any different from 5 girls?).

I did get some blisters on my feet from all the walking but it was so much fun! I'd go back in a second and do it all over again!
