My brother just got his mission call! I was at my aunt's house in Ogden and he called me on the phone to listen to him open it. He's going to Leon, Mexico! Yay, I'm so excited for him, although it's going to be weird when he's gone - he's the first one in my family to go on a mission. He leaves on December 31st. I'm glad that he'll be able to be with our family for one more Thanksgiving and Christmas. Way to go Spencer!
One of my friends (a violinist) asked me the other day if I would help her with a CD for one of her students - the student asked her to play at her baptism a long time ago but at the last minute she was going out of town. So, we sat down at about 7 last night, sight read some music, and by about 9:40 had a nice little 4 track CD! We played in the Barrus concert hall, which has the best acoustics like this side of the US or something like that. It's so much fun to play in there (especially because you also get to play on the big concert grand). If anyone knows how to post songs on here - like quicktime attachments, please let me know... I'd love to let you listen to our work!

Jodi and I decided we would go buy Stephanie Meyer's new book, "Breaking Dawn" at midnight when it was being released!

August 2, 1:50 AM:
Oh no... they're closed too. Where can we go? 24 hour Wal-Mart on Deer Valley, Here we come!

EUREEKA!!!!! Finally... we found our treasure, Breaking Dawn, when it felt like the dawn was almost breaking.
I have a turtle! His name is Squirt. (Yes, I stole that from Finding Nemo.) He's about as big as your palm, and very cute! (Well, at least I think so.) He has a 5 gallon tank and probably wishes it was a little bigger... but I say "Too bad, I'm not buying you a bigger one!"... at least not while I'm still in school. I only have two semesters left, so maybe after that. He likes to swim against the glass and bite your finger through the glass... it's pretty funny!
One time, while he was being babysat by my aunt and uncle in Ogden, UT, during a break I had from school, he jumped out of his tank!! I couldn't believe it... There's no WAY he could do that...
but then I went down to check on him and I CAUGHT HIM! He was standing on his little floaty thing with his head over the top edge. What a sneaky turtle! I'll have to get a lid for him.
