Down to the River

I made a slideshow of 3 years of ward pictures for Sister Jensen. In exchange, she is going to give me a ride to, and pick me up from the airport on my next trip. Here is one of the songs.

You Pick

We have an interview for a Church Meetinghouse proposal on Friday. You can vote on which outfit I should wear. They are numbered, left to right, 1-6. (6 isn't an option, it is the dress I ordered).

How Many Mandys Does It Take To Change A Lightbulb?

My biggest accomplishment this weekend was changing the lightbulb above the landing in my stair. I told my home teachers about it when they asked if there was anything that they could help with, and they just laughed. So, I bought a ladder that folds up to fit in the back of my car. A normal ladder wouldn't have fit into my house very well. This project took an hour and I nearly broke the window in the process. Answer to the question: 1 light bulb, 1 Mandy.

I am the Architect on the bluelemon restuarant and Bistro at City Creek project. Who would have ever thought that I would be designing something in a location like this! Pretty trippy. I park in the parking structure under the Church administration building.

Spaghetti Eating Contest

In honor of Jackson's sucessful night, here is an early release of his next film.

Dr Who

My hobby right now is watching Dr. Who. It isn't the old Dr. Who. It is a current version that runs on PBS. There seem to be a lot of good Brittish shows, aren't there?

I like David Tennant, the actor who plays the 10th reincarnation of The Doctor (Kind of like selecting the next James Bond). You might also know him as the son of the minister of magic (Marty Crouch) on Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Right now PBS is running the 2nd season, so it is a good time to jump in. He gets a new side kick every season. Rose Tyler (blond girl with a severe overbite) = season 1&2. Martha Jones (black girl-she is good) = 3, and Dona Noble (lady with an attitude) = 4. They have just selected a new Dr. Who for season 5.

PBS shows it at 11pm on Saturdays. It is late, so read your scriptures and brush and flush before the show comes on. I have season 4 at my house on loan, if anyone is interested in borrowing it. I suggest you catch up with seasons 2 and 3 before you dive into 4.

Feliz Ano Nuevo

I flew down to Texas for New Years. I got to hang out with John, Meli and Julia. Julia is a hoot.

Thursday was foggy. We took advantage and walked around the cemetery taking artistic photos.

We came back and celebrated Meli's birthday. The theme was gold and purple. We had two queens.We went out in the country looking for armadillos. Found cows and a road-killed armadillo.
Sunset from armadillo search 2 of 3.

We went to the Texas A&M verses NWU from Louisianna.

Julia took this picture.


We ended up cheering for the underdogs. We liked #14. He is 5'-9". His brother played, too.

I flew out of Austin. We drove around before my flight.

Julia poses for the camera.

Brass sculpture children at the state capital building (sculptures on the sides, Julia in the middle).

I thought that I had purchased a direct flight. I guess not. I was able to watch Boise State win the Fiesta Bowl split between the two flights.
