Reminder

Just a reminder in case you haven't read The Alchemist yet-there is still plenty of time to get through it before we discuss (we're aiming for July 14-ish). It's short and easy to read, so if you haven't checked it out/bought/ordered it yet-do it today!

Question: what do you think would be the best way to discuss? I could post all the questions at once and you could comment on the ones you want to. Or I could post them one at a time and when we've said all we want to say on the matter, I could post the next one. what do you think?

Geranimo!!!!!!!!

My nephew went to Havasupai for scout camp last week. He just graduated from HS, he is really tall, and good sense of humor, and played receiver for the football team. I thought I knew him. I did not think he would ever be someone who would jump off the top of Havasu Falls. 110 ft. waterfall that is covered with signs at the top saying don't jump or you get fined $500. But he did! He said he just wanted to look over the edge. But after he did that he pondered to himself about how that would be to jump off the top. Then he said out loud to his buddies "I'm going to jump" they thought he was kidding until he started making his way to the edge again. There are lots of littel pools of water at the top so it was kind of tricky footing. When he was almost to the edge ond of the mossy rocks did crumblu under his foot and he said "that kinda scared me". Then he got to the edge and saw that everyone was cleaing out of the pool pretty fast. It looked clear so he jumped. At the last moment his fingertips came out a little bit and the force of the hit bent his wrist back really hard. When he came up he was yelling Yah and a wave hit in the mouth and he started choking and everyone thought that something had happened. But no he is fine but his wrist area little sensetive. Some stranger got it on video and sais he would email him the clip. I will post it when I get it. Oh yeah he didn't get fined.

A little piece of Heaven

Ogden just became a little bigger piece of Heaven with it's new Adventure mall. WE went to check it out this evening for FHE. We watched a couple of people in the wind tunnel which was really cool. I blows air at you like 180 mph and you go shooting up in the air and then you can come back down and just do tricks and stuff. They say 3 years old and up but Abe would not do it. Then they have this indoor wave that you can surf on. There is a Costa Vida right next to it so you can eat your dinner and watch people surf. Which would be cool for me if I was the one eating but not so cool for me surfing. There is also the tallest climbing wall in Utah adn all of these three things can be seen through huge glass windows from outside. There was also glow in the dark mini golf, bowling, and arcade with bumper cars. A huge movie theatre that has a food court so you can choose your dinner which can be eaten in the theatre on a tray that hooks into your seat. Awesome. Dinner and a movie put into one to save money on the baby sitter meter. We will be moving up to Logan June 27th. If you want to come check it out and stay the night here with us do it before then:)

Stuff

For all those out there that don't live to far away or just might be in town my baby shower date is June 23. It's a Saturday open house from 11:00 to 1:00 at my mom's house. I'd love any excuse to see you guys!
Angie how does one pronounce Terje? And what does it mean?
So I hiked Orderville Canyon over the weekend. Anyone else done that canyon? It is beautiful! 12 miles with the last 1/2 being in water. It meets with the Narrows several miles up. We had a good time! My boss Dr. Ott and his wife went. They are so cool I feel lucky to work for such a great guy! Even is there is un-necessary office drama. 11 females in the same building day after day takes its toll. So far I have been able to stay out of it. Anyone else have the same experiance at work? I think some ladies invent drama to make the day go by faster or something.
Kate you planning on the Payette trip the end of this month? I can't wait!!! Don't worry we will have a raft for the fat ladies. :)

Book Club part 2

Has anyone read/started reading the book for May? (Dearest Friend) I've had a hard time getting into it and quite a few of our book club members have called and expressed concerns about not reading all/any of the book. Have you had the same problem?
Our club meeting is tonight and we'll discuss the book even though many of us haven't made it all the way through. I think it will still make for some interesting discussion.
I was thinking--if any of you have read the book--i'll post the discussion questions on Monday and we can all give our input then. That will give you the weekend to get a little more reading done so you can contribute if you'd like. Hopefully it won't be super boring--I don't want everyone to quit after only the first month. Up till now every book we've read has been pretty awesome so hopefully in the future the books will be a little bit more engaging.
Oh, one other thing. My sister, Jaci, is a fan of our blog. She stops in and reads because she thinks we're funny and cool sometimes. She never comments because she says she feels like "an intruder and a spy." But she is going to be reading the books along with us too, so she may want to comment occasionally-so don't be alarmed.

holy. crap.

have you seen this before?

Happy Birthday Heather

it was yesterday, right? sorry i forgot. we were camping.

The Mitchell's in Europe

Ashlynn is home from her trip to Europe. If you haven't been following her blog you can check it out here. She went to a lot of Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. She and her husband were gone for almost three weeks. Ashlynn is so super cool and stylish. I'm sure you all know her. She grew up in St. George (morning side). I hung with her sister Erica Allen in High School and her other sis is Jenny.
