Moab....

It is hard for me to spend time in Nature and not think of God and the power of Creation. I am amazed at the world and all of the beautiful splendors that were created for us to appreciate and adore. Moab is a place to behold. The delicate Arch, the red rocks, the beauty of the results of the forces of nature. I spent a couple of days there this weekend with friends. I loved it..is there really anything not to love about it? Just look at the pictures and tell me if there is.

I'm in LOVE...

...with Kalai the singer. I had to introduce my new favorite artist to you all. A month or so ago a friend invited me to go to a Kalai concert at Thanksgiving point. I seriously had never heard of him before but because I love concerts, especially the ones outside, I decided to go. I fell straight up in love with him. He is a married man and so I would truly never do anything to jeopardize that relationship but I love his lyrics, his sound and originality.

Of course I have to share with you all, one of my favorite songs "On My Mind" It is from his Acouticism album ...I'm a romantic how can I not love it.

A few weeks after the concert I was in Best Buy in Salt Lake. I was looking for a new digital camera. As I was searching for a sales associate to help me I glanced toward the hard drives across the isle and in front of my face stood my new musician crush. I panicked as any twitter patted girl would do. I immediately sent text messages to friends to help me know if it would have been appropriate for me to approach him and confess my love. By the time I gathered courage he had vanished. Never to return again. Ah, the day dreams that have ensued. What's a girl to do?

Made in Brazil

I took a trip to Brazil for a mission companions wedding. I went to Salvador, Bahia which is in central Brazil along the atlantic coast. It is beautiful there. I loved seeing my companion again after six years. I can't get enough of that girl. She is amazing. The wedding celebration was in her hometown about five hours outside of Salvador. We stayed there for four days. It was great to be back in Brazil. Eating beans and rice for every meal, having it rain everyday and then dealing with the hot hot sun. Although it wasn't quite as hot as Belem where I served my mission. The sun was warm enough to give me a nice October tan. My plan is to go back very soon. If anyone wants to come. Just let me know. You won't regret it I swear!!
