John Mayer + Owl City

Tasi invited me to the John Mayer concert last Tuesday.

We had super good seats! Eleven rows back from the stage

Best part. . . Owl City opened for him

Such a good concert!

BYU-I

Shantel and I went on a road trip! We went to visit my friend who lived in Idaho. We all decided to do a photo shoot. . . . cause we are cool like that.

Battle Creek!

My ward got up early and headed over to Battle Creek Trail.

They are very silly people!

It all went very well. . . . until the last 30 ft.

Shantel stepped on a rock wrong and went flying. In the parking lot she lifted up her pants and blood was dripping down her leg! All of the men grabbed their first aid kits and went to work! She was so brave and didn't cry.

Then we went to D.Q. and got some blizzards!

Boys & Guns

I really never understood why guys like to shoot things. . .

With that said. . . Jonathan invited me to go shooting with some of his buddies. I thought "sure, why not" so we went.

This tall guy on the left. . . well he is going to be the quarter back for BYU this season. . .

I felt famous hanging out with him. . . hehehehe

Me + four guys + guns = entertainment

I actually shot a couple of times (I never once hit the clay thingy). More than anything I think they made me shoot so they could laugh at me. I couldn't even hold the gun up for very long. Those things are heavy! They are also loud and have quite a kick.

And in the End. . . .

And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.

Jonathan's birthday was on the 18th . . . so I decided to kidnap him and take him downtown!

His first Trax ride ever!!

Our first stop was the beehive house! We were chatting with the sister missionaries when:

Jonathan: (made some joke)

Me: Don't believe him. . . he is joking

SM (sister missionary): Are you two cousins?

Me: (in my head) Err? What? Really?

SM: Well you two just joke around like you are cousins. . .

After completing the tour we walked over to the Cathedral of the Madeleine

Then we caught Trax and headed up into U of U territory for The Pie Pizzeria!!

Our pizza was so so amazing!

I wanted to take Jonathan to the library roof and walk down to the bottom. . . . but it was closed.

Sad day

So we sat and enjoyed the outside of the library

Then of course we had to visit Temple Square

I had never actually been on the actual temple ground. (you know where you can go in and actually touch the temple and walk up the stairs) I was excited so Jonathan and I strolled around, touched, and admired the temple.

(Poor birthday boy had to carry the leftover pizza around)

The infamous tree

After Temple Square we walked around the Gateway Mall!

Jonathan was a very good sport and let me drag him all over Salt Lake. I think the most funny thing of the evening was . . .

We were sitting at the Trax station waiting for the train to come take us home. All of the sudden a homeless man rolled up his wheelchair. . . "it is almost 9 0'clock" he told us

Jonathan and I paused waiting for the rest of his story. Hearing none we looked at the clock. It read 8:56. We looked back and the man was rolling away.

I didn't know what he meant. Nothing happened at 9 o'clock. . . . not even a train approached the station. . . weird!
