Opening Ceremonies

All I have to say is WOW!!! I had no interest in the Olympics this last month or so, and then today hear all this excitement and saw pictures on the internet. I got pretty excited and DANG, did China deliver! That was the most incredible show! I think my favorite part was the people who were in the square boxes doing waves and droplets and things like that. AMAZING!!! I can't believe how precise and meticulous those acts were. It didn't seem like anything went wrong or was out of place the entire time. BRAVO BEIJING!

Keepin' Busy and Major Blessings

Today was exhausting! It was so busy at work that I didn't have a chance to breathe until my shift was an hour from being done! Whew! Good thing I had a Dr. Pepper to tide me over.

Today was also a day to be thankful to Heavenly Father for life. One of our RA's at work had a mountain climbing accident this weekend. He was climbing with a friend, and somehow lost his footing. He free fell 20 ft., landed on his back, and then tumbled backwards another 30 ft. He had to be airlifted from the mountain and had a few broken bones, a punctured lung, and tons of scrapes and bruises. Thankfully, there were a few Branbury residents climbing not too far away and they were able to call for help and help Jeff and his friend out until medics could arrive. Jeff is going to be okay, but it just makes you grateful for those around you. And makes you not want to mountain climb . . .

Always a Bridesmaid . . .

I'm just kidding! I didn't have anything to do with this one. Well, my longtime friend Noah Ruggieri got married today to a girl named Cherry. Cherry Ruggieri. Seems a little redundant, doesn't it?
He's a great catch. Lindz and I had a great time growing up with him, and we have a lot of fun memories. Including our pact. If we weren't married by the time we were 30, Lindz was supposed to marry Noah, and I am supposed to marry Ben Carlson. Hopefully it doesn't get to that point!!!!!
