A Walk in the Park

Today was a beautiful, warm, sunny day despite threatening rain this morning. I also recently discovered that we are about a block away from the trail Provo River. So this afternoon we put the two together and had a stroll.
I look forward to the rest of Spring.

Flashback

My mom had a box of old cameras and random other tech stuff which Mark and I are trying to sell for her. Last night, we had a real good time going through it all.This was a really old video camera. Sweet!

The older digital cameras still had pictures on them. Here is a sampling...

Goggle Tans and Angry Men

While Steve and Kalina were in town, we went skiing/snowboarding with Steve, Phil, and Jen. It was really fun, and we all came away with goggle tans, though I was actually more of a Rudolph.After the day in Park City, we went with Steve and Kalina to PMT's Twelve Angry Men. I have always really like the movie - with Henry Fonda - and the play lived up to expectations. They did a great job. It was really fun afterward discussing the preconceived notions of each of the characters and how they overcame them (or not). If you haven't seen the play or the movie, I highly recommend renting it!

Pool Woes

Last week, after an Engineering dinner Mark and I stayed at the Wilk and played some pool.Pretty much, we were horrible.
Mark won each time, either coming from behind or I would knock the 8 ball in. Like I said, we are pretty bad, especially me...and apparently, I look creepy when I play.

The Green Diet

My sister, Mary, recently published a book: The Green Diet. She talks about why animal products are not as healthy and why vegan food is so good for you. She also has a pretty sweet website. Reading it kind of makes me guilty about eating meats and other animal products but, Mark and I haven't totally cut meat out of our diet, yet. Although for the vegan meals that I have cooked, we have not missed the meat. My biggest problem is making enough to fill Mark up- but I had that problem before anyway. Anyway, even if you don't want to cut out animals all the way I would recommend trying some of her recipes. There are some on her site.

St. George


For President's Day weekend Mark and I went to St. George with almost my entire family (missing only Sarah). It was fun to hang out with the family, play games, watch Olympics, hike, and converse. It was so pleasant and the weather was perfect we didn't want to leave and return to dreary freezing Provo.

Fondue

Last weekend we had fondue dinner with my old roommates and their guests. I really like fondue and this was no exception. Despite the color-coded fondue forks, it was pretty much a free-for-all for the meat, and the veggies- they were for the best fishers. Of course we finished off with chocolate fondue and the strawberries were the first things gone.For game-night that followed we attempted to play Backseat Drawing but it got too competitive. In hindsight boys vs girls was probably not a good idea (especially with some highly competitive people)...so we played a game that didn't have winners...but for the record...the girls were dominating.
