German Preview

Alpine Sliding it up in Germany

Just got home last night from Germany.  I'm sure my boss would prefer I do work, so more details and pics to come soon.

See ya later hair

I’m leaving for 10 days, so no posting. Not that you will notice my absence since I haven’t posted in over 2 weeks, but hey I thought I’d let you know anyway. When I return you will be greeted with photos and tells of my trip to GERMANY (I know you’re jealous). Until then here are some photos of the hair cut I got this week.
My friend Sara Gilmore is a very talented stylist and after having her cut my hair a couple months ago I think I’m a client for life. After the cut she asked if she could take some photos for her hair blog. I was nervous having to pose for photos to I tried to break the awkwardness by chatting up her ear.  Needless to say this didn’t make for good pics (my face was horrible, but the hair looks good which is all that matters.

Smiles

Yep, that's me talking while she is trying to take photos.

Ta da!

I really like this one.

It is probably better because I'm not looking at the camera

The Short List of 4th of July Weekend Fun

A co-worker asked me the other day for some ideas of fun things to do over the 4th of July weekend.  Here is the list I gave her plus a few other ideas that I have heard of since.

• Friday
• Concert in Brigham Young Park - Mama’s Boys. Shumway family band performing foot-stomping fiddling, along with western and bluegrass selections.
• Utah Symphony Patriotic Celebration at Sundance
  Join the Utah Symphony for its annual celebration of all things American. Bring a blanket to sit on and your patriotic spirit as the orchestra performs all of your red, white, and blue favorites from Sousa Marches to Film music. (Note: A second show is on Saturday at Deer Valley and a third July 6 in West Valley)   Utah Symphony Schedule
• SL Real rock the soccer field and the skies with fireworks after the game.  Ticket Info
• Saturday
•  Start the morning with a 5K run that ends at the Utah State Capitol. Freedom 5K Details
• Continue your morning at the SL Farmers Market and get some post race breakfast.
• Or skip the 5K and head to Brighton for the Independence Day Breakfast.  Brighton Breakfast Event Details.  Haha!  They even have a blog SLC Brighton Breakfast Blog
• Thanks to a few local companies, Whole Foods and Noodles & Co. the Sugar House fireworks have been saved (yes they were in jeopardy of being shout down).  Get to the park early because it will fill up fast.  Sugar House Event Details
• Spend the entire day at Jordan Park and get a FREE pancake breakfast, watch the Kid's Parade, shop the People's Market and enjoy fireworks. SLC 4th of July Celebration
• Sunday
• SL Bees Vs Tacoma Rainiers - Fireworks after game.  Buy the lawn tickets (GA) and after the game you can movie down into the outfield and watch the fireworks there for a great view.
• One Republic at Deer Valley.  Great outdoor venue.  Not sure if there will be fireworks after, but I can't see why not. Concert Details
• Monday
• SL Bees Vs Tacoma Rainier (No fireworks but still fun)
• Monday starts the Gallivan Monday Movies.  Cuddle up and watch "An Affair to Remember" Monday Movies Schedule
• Random Idea
• You could do a hike over SL to watch fireworks from the mountains. Check out the Bonneville shoreline trail…runs all along the Aves and University area. You will be able to see several firework shows going off throughout the valley.

Have a great weekend and INDEPENDENCE DAY!
