The Eels Say I Need Some Sleep

It is time for a quick post instead of going to bed. I am exhausted but I am going to share my good news and gratitude from the last couple of weeks. The highlights are as follows:

Heather and Greg are finally married. The wedding came off beautifully. I wish I could take credit, but I got so much help from other people, I really think I should say it was a family and community effort. Thank you so much to all! I will have to do a blog entry dedicated solely to that event, but it requires more effort that I can muster at this moment. Here is something to pique your interest and prepare you for the excitement that will be that blog.

Lovely visits from friends and family punctuated the beginning of this month. It felt like home to have them all here. Now it seems that I have to get married to sucker them into coming back. It may be a while.

On Friday I got to hang out with about 20 llamas as we filmed teenagers feeding them, brushing their hair and walking up and down the steps of the Hare Krishna temple. They are normally very docile creatures, but two of them got in a fight and one spit hay on the other one. They had to be separated, like in elementary school. It was a delightful day. I missed India. I think I am going to go back soon.

“Inception” was the FHE activity on Monday; it was a beautifully crafted film. I find it creepy and cool that I had a dream within a dream about two weeks before it came out. The “Royal Wedding/ floating on the ceiling stuff was brilliant. The way they handled water in that film? Gorgeous. I have always wanted to do that in a motion picture… now I have to wait a few years. Bah.

I ate a deep dish margarita pizza from Nicoitalia’s with the house Italian dressing. Heaven in your mouth! I have been craving it all week. Maybe I will treat myself again this weekend. In other good food news, I had a Stone Bowl and beef bulgogi with a dear friend. I don’t think I have eaten Korean food in a year. YUM.

Jenn is coming to visit on Friday. I love that girl. Camping is possibly in the works. Woot!

I get to go to San Francisco and New York in a couple of weeks, compliments of BYU-B and some fancy budgeting on my part. I am such an adult right now, traveling for work. Take that, former juvenile lifestyle!

Bed awaits me. I need some sleep before another crazy long day.
