4 months in a nutshell

So the year has flown by too fast...I just wanted to share a little of what we've been up to:

SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL

We went to the Sundance Film Festival in January. We love going because of the crazy atmosphere...and all the celebrities of course. This year was the first time we were able to see a film, we got lucky and someone was selling their tickets for a great movie that barely made it to the festival, we didn't even have to wait in line. The movie was: The Winning Season. What's amazing about seeing the premire of a move at sundance is the whole cast is watching it with you, we didn't even realize this but one of the actors was sitting right behind us. When the movie was over the director came up and talked about the movie, so did the actors that were in it and we had time for questions and answers. It was an amazing feeling to be with these talented actors and actresses, especially the director. It was a great movie, a must see!

DRAPER TEMPLE OPEN HOUSE

We went to the Draper Temple Open House, it was an experience to remember. I've never been to an open house so I was especially excited. It was amazing to me how organized everything was, from the video at the church, to the transportation, and everything in between. We loved it, especially for how strongly we could feel the spirit. We're looking forward to the West Jordan Temple to be finished so we can do it all over again.

SNOWBOARDING

MCHAMMER/VANILLA ICE CONCERT

We got free VIP tickets through our Scion car club; free food, free dessert, great seats, and good company! It was an ok performance, but what can you expect when Orem, UT is the ONLY show/concert they did! I fell asleep during McHammer but that doesn't say much, I could fall asleep anywhere, anytime! We weren't too impressed with Vanilla Ice, but it was still fun, better than sitting at home. The most entertaining part was watching everyone dressed up in their 80's gear, a lot of people went all out, I was surprised!

MONSTER CIRKUS

Our buddy Lief from Arkade Magazine organized an awesome show in downtown SLC. It was an afternoon full of concerts, snowboard jibs, and freestyle motorcross, all in the heart of the Gallivan Center. Lief is hoping to turn this into a yearly event so come on out for the fun next year!
