Groooooovy!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to invite you all in on our exciting Saturday evening. James & I hung out at the 2007 Groove Fest here in Cedar City, Utah.

Groove Fest is a sort of Woodstock-like outdoor concert, complete with hippies, homemade jewelry stands and live relaxing music. This was a first time for me and I actually really enjoyed it. We walked around to all the fun little pop-up tent exhibits and food stands. Then we enjoyed a gyro, navajo taco and the live music while we snuggled on the grass. It was actually pretty romantic. Just more good times to be had here in the Festival City. Enjoy the pics!

We also made a short video while we were there. If you care to view the video, feel free to click on the link below. Enjoy!

Utah Summer Games

Hello everyone! I just wanted to share a few pictures of our experiences at the Utah Summer Games! James had a great turn out for the paintball tournament & he did a wonderful job getting everything put together. It ran so smooth, I was so proud of him! He was the head referee on the field, so he was out there from 6am until 7:30pm! It was a long day, but well worth it! The team they sponsor even won the whole tournament, so that was fun to watch too. And all of you would be so proud of me to hear that I put my life on the line for some of these pictures. I actually went on the field, and got shot quite a few times. I still have the bruises to prove it! :) It was actually really fun to be in the middle of the action. The other picture below is of my good friend, Karrie, playing in the Adult 3 on 3 soccer tournament last weekend. That was fun to watch too! Next year, we need to get some of our family members and friends down here to participate. The whole town transforms into an olympic-like city with athletes, fans and mini vans decked out in white marker grafitti preaching their team to be #1. It's awesome!

This is a clip from KCSG the local news station covering the Utah Summer Games:

5 Stars!

Hello everyone! I just wanted to give another movie review, this time on Oceans 13. It was fabulous! James & I laughed the whole way through and were very entertained by the clever and cunning Danny Ocean & team. I will admit that I loved the first one, but wasn't too big of a fan of the second one because of the twisty, turny plot. But this one hits a homerun with a simple plot and the grand return to Las Vegas! It's a must see. Enjoy!

Keri's Going Back to School!!!

Hooray! I just wanted to share the news with everyone that I checked my financial aid status with Salt Lake Community College yesterday and I was offered 2 grants! Yeah! They are enough to cover about half my tuition for Fall & Spring Semesters. Now we just have to come up with the other half, and that sure is easier to do than coming up with the full amount. I am taking 4 online classes, and I am thrilled! I can't wait to get back to late night studying and last minute brain cramming for tests. (Yes, I know I sound crazy!) For those of you that don't know, I am going into Family and Human Studies, with the intent to open my own daycare or preschool after I graduate. I am very excited! Just wanted to tell you all of my good news! Love ya!

House Hunting!

Hello everyone! Well, I just wanted to tell everyone of our good news! Since James & I have decided to stay in Cedar City at least another year, we have decided to quit the renting game. We met with a lender today and were pre-approved for a mortgage! Hooray! So, we have an appointment with our realtor tomorrow morning and will begin "shopping"! We'll probably end up getting a cute lil' condo or something, and we are thrilled! Just thought I'd share the news!

Utah Summer Games

Well its the most stressfull week of the summer for me. Utah Summer Games though it is small, it is a great. My friend Jasen and I interduced paintball to the Utah Summer Games 3 years ago. The Utah Summer games for those that don't know is an Olympic style compition. Many states in the nation do something similar but the Utah Summer Games are the biggest state games. Paintball has been in the top five of the fastest growing sports in the world for the last 10 years.

The event this year is this Saturday June 9th. The event will begin at 7 in the morning and continue all the way through the end of the day. All are welcome, it is a very good way to be introduced to the tournament side of this redneck/military game.

Aaahhhh

This blog is short. I just wanted to share with all of you that I am relaxing in sunny Las Vegas right this minute. I just got back to the hotel room after spending 2 hours by the pool! It was so relaxing! I had my ipod headphones in my ears and my journal in my hand, taking breaks every now and then to jump in the pool and cool off just a bit. It was exactly what the doctor ordered. :)
