a short update until i can post with pictures later.

I am bad at updating my blog, I know. But not as bad as some other people...

On Saturday we went over to Lindsay and Mark's for a little fondue party. Lindsay and I dressed up in authentic dirndls (we looked amazing, and for some reason I don't have a picture of just us in the dirndls...not sure what happened there) and made the fondue. Chris came over too, and that was fun. After fondue we went to an Oktoberfest party that is put on annually by one of the apartment complexes here in Provo. It wasn't very well-publicized so there weren't that many people. The boys spent the majority of their time there playing pool, and Lindsay and I played the piano "like wild beasts of the jungle." Nice. We finally left, shined Chris' huge hunter headlights on the party, then we tried to find the State Hospital deer so we could chase them again, but we couldn't find them so we went to THE GHOULIE TREE. I love whatever family lives in that house, because they unknowingly supply us with such a good time every Halloween. We took some ghoulies and cavorted in the canyon with them, finally depositing them on some unfortunate and (probably very confused) people's cars.

It was a good night.

In more serious news, I voted for the first time! On Monday I went to the Provo administrative building and waited in line for about 30 minutes to do my duty as an American (even though it doesn't mean much here in Utah) and cast my ballot. I don't have to tell anyone who I voted for...as anyone who knows me already knows that little tidbit of information. I'll be honest, I only knew who I wanted to vote for for president and for governor, but the rest of the candidates didn't mean a whole lot to me. Neither did the proposed state constitutional amendments, because I don't really care about when the State Senate meets or how they define replacement of the Lieutenant Governor when he or she becomes unable to serve. But I voted! And I got a sticker.

Chris Jewell said...

That wouldn't be my blog, would it? It hasn't been updated in almost three years. Guess I need to do better with that, huh? Anyway, thanks again for the good times.

Shannon: your question "what's a ghoulie" just made my day. And I hope Adrien enlightens you to the madness.

Chris: Get the blog up and public or I'm boycotting our friendship.
