Is this what Heaven is going to be like?

Picture it, any given Sunday in 2008. (For you Golden Girls fans, remember Sophia telling any story, "picture it, Sicily, 1948" etc). My friend Christy and I are sitting in sunday school in the 31-45 (or 50 or 60) year old singles ward in SLC, Utah. Relief Society is first and then sunday school is in the same room afterwards (there are 3 relief societies and 2 sunday school classes). After relief society, a few seats change and sunday school begins. In the 70 person room, the odds are slightly better this week than normal there are approx. 12 men to the 58 women. How did I get myself into this little mess? (Still being single) I guess it's too bad that my name isn't Ken and I were a man, I would feel exceeding lucky if it were with those odds!

Slumber Party

So, I invited my two nieces over for a slumber party last night. I had scheduled haircuts for them at a salon today and thought it would be fun to sleep over and then go get the hair cuts today.
We had an absolute blast! We first went out to dinner. After dinner, the girls played with my dog for a while. They absolutely love to play with him and he loves them. Then we had a dance party. We seriously danced for probably an hour. It was so much fun! My niece Mckenzie literally laughed for a full 5 minutes when I started dancing. Clearly I did not dance well in her opinion. It was kind of insulting, but I got over it quickly. I was mostly doing it for the cardio workout anyway!
After dancing we all painted our nails while we watched the movie Enchanted. That is honestly one of my favorite movies. It is so cute. It was a really fun night.
Today we woke up early and ate scrambled eggs and smoothie's for breakfast. The smoothies were fantastic. Then we took Jackie Wackie on a walk.
At long last we went in for the haircuts. Mckenzie could not have waited any longer, she was so excited to get her hair cut. There is a place here called Cookie Cutters that have fun haircuts for kids and it was great. You can watch movies while you get your hair cut. What a deal!
The girls had a good time and in the end, the haircuts were great. Allison only got one inch cut off, so her hair does not really look different, but Mckenzie had a complete change of style and looked absolutely adorable afterwards.

Balloon Festival

My mom invited me up to their house this weekend to attend the Ogden Valley Balloon Festival. It was a lot of fun. I guess I never realized how many balloons there would be or also how close they got to the houses. It was crazy.
It was an absolutely beautiful day and very enjoyable to watch the balloons.
