Go Utes!

This post is for my sweet hubby...
Wes started another semester of school this week. It sure was nice spending so much time with him this past month. But on to another semester...
When making his school schedule this semester, cute Wes made sure to not have any Thursday night classes-heaven forbid miss a Utah football game. It is a big deal around here.
Wes is excited for Utah football to begin (me too, actually-it is my Alma mater, and I grew up in a household that most definitely bleeds red).
Well, the wait is almost over. Tomorrow is the kickoff to their season.
I hope it goes well.
Wes & I are headed to Jackson (wish us luck as a cold front is on its way). Cute Wes called up to the Jackson Lake Lodge to verify that there would be a place to watch the Utah/Michigan game. So no need to fear Utes, we will be cheering them on, lounging in the Jackson Lake Lodge bar..sipping on a brewsky (non-alcoholic, of course, j/k).

How annoying

Yes, I am annoyed...I just received a ticket for "Rolling" through a stop sign. And to make it worse, I had the brand-new intern from my work with me. How embarrassing. I was just driving along, chit-chatting with the intern, and the next thing I know, there are flashing lights behind me. I was shocked-I thought to myself, "Is my registration expired?"-No, but it does at the end of this month, thank goodness. "Was I speeding?"-I sure don't think so. "Did I run that stop-sign?" I certainly remember seeing the stop-sign, so I know I didn't run it. When the officer came to my window, she tells me I "rolled" through the stop-sign. And $60 later...here I am to vent about it. Before I even pulled away, the officer was back in her hiding place ready to pull over another person for "rolling" through the stop sign, I am sure. You're welcome Taylorsville City-make sure my $60 goes somewhere important-not to pay for some police officer to hide behind a tree and pull people over for rolling through a stop sign. How about to fight crime, or pull over those idiots on the freeway going 90mph. ugh.

Did not disappoint

I love love love 'So You Think You Can Dance!' And the finale' did not disappoint. What a wonderful show. I loved how they danced the best dances over again last night. It was fantastic. I loved the recap of the entire season, as well as the portion where they talked with past contestants.
My only question is, "Was I suppose to smoke something before watching the 'Cirque de Soleil' piece by Wade Robson?" I truly think Wade Robson is an amazing choreographer, and I have missed his choreography a lot this season, but seriously, the rabbits dancing creeped me out a little.
Also, I had been saying this since the beginning, but Will is by far the best dancer on the show-I was so disappointed when he was voted off the show a few weeks ago. And seeing him dance again last night, just confirmed that he definitely should have made top 4-and won! I loved his James Brown solo he did. I do like Joshua, but really, Will is just amazing.

I have always loved to dance, and I just love this show!

2008 Boyack Family Reunion

The 2008 Boyack reunion was held this weekend in Park City, Utah.
We had a fun time with the 'Boyack Clan'-and look forward to the reunion in 2010 in Nauvoo-as one of Wes' relatives said: "Just save $10/month for the next two years." We laughed about this for days-Yep, I am sure $240 will cover the cost to Nauvoo:)
I have enjoyed attending the Boyack reunions and getting acquainted with the many Boyack's because as most married women will understand, when you get married and take your husband's last name-people ask you all the time if you are related to "so & so Boyack?" Hmm, good question??? I want to respond with-"This is my married name, and I have no idea, however I could tell you about my maiden name relatives, because I have been an "Earl" for my entire life, but a "Boyack" for only 4 years."
*Highlights of the reunion: The mass responses to the "Dozens of Cousins" 1980 Boyack reunion shirt, Bowen taking our Jamocha shake cup, and asking the man at Arby's for a "Shake refill," and actually getting one, almost beating Morgan at "Acquire"-my first time playing it (I have been hearing about Acquire since Wes & I were dating, but had yet to play it), learning more about the Boyack heritage and it's Scottish roots, wearing bright yellow matching shirts all around Park City, and getting strange looks and questions about the reunion, and of course getting to spend time with family who live out of state.

Basement Tearout

Here are some pics and video from our basement destruction.
Nothing fancy, just some photos for us to show where we started, the HUGE mess, the clean-up-and hopefully one day...the new re-model.
Also, FYI about the videos: Wes saw this idea on-line, and he videoed himself doing this while I was gone-what a cute, funny nerd I am married to.
