Say It Ain't So!



Tuesday night we went with Nate's mission companion Craig and his wife Teryn and and our friends Cory and Melissa to the Weezer concert. It was Craig's birthday and his wife surprised him with tickets. He had no idea how sneaky his wife was in planning it all and keeping it a secret for so long. Nice job Teryn!



Here we all are at dinner before the concert. I am sitting by Melissa and Cory and Nate is by Craig and Teryn.





Angels and Airwaves opened for Weezer. Before the concert I loved Angels and Airwaves. I was a little disappointed, because they didn't sound the greatest live. They were pretty crude too... F this and F that... oh my goodness, enough already. Weezer puts on a great show. They are so entertaining and nerdy! Not to mention they perform great live. I was so impressed. My favorite part was toward the end of the concert. X96 had a contest for anyone that played an instrument to try out to win a spot to perform with Weezer. About 3o people got up on stage with every instrument you can imagine. Someone had an accordion and there were all sorts of crazy instruments. You'd never believe it, but it didn't sound too bad.



This picture could have turned out good.... except what's with all the crazy lights?

Birthday Hike

On the morning of my birthday we drove up Yellow Fork canyon with our friends Travis and Karlee for a BEAUTIFUL fall hike. I love the leaves in the mountains in the fall time, so pretty!





By the way... this photo was taken right before the trail suddenly changed to a STEEP incline for the next couple of miles. Thanks to Travis we plowed right through it. If we were to have taken an after photo, our faces would be beet red and we would all be dripping in sweat.
