Boyz II Men




Last night my friend Michelle and I went to the fabulous performance of Boyz II Men. I am not going to lie, I really liked it. I was a little skeptical at first but I thought, hey why not, this could be fun. And it was amazing! Although Boyz II Men were a little bit before my time, I still knew a few of their songs. So first of all, I loved the harmonies. I feel as if this is a dying art. It is rare these days to hear that and it is so incredible. Secondly, these guys can still dance (something that I really wish was one of my talents!). Thirdly, I am pretty sure that these guys had not performed for a crowd of this size and who had so much enthusiasm in years. They kept saying things like "You have know idea how much this means to us" and "Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, this is incredible." Then they started bringing out their own cameras and taking pictures. It was really fun because they were so into the crowd. Last of all, these guys are incredible entertainers! I think that my favorite section was when they sang Motown hits. I really enjoyed it. The only down side of the evening came from the special, special people who were next to us and were feeling the effects of their alcohol, oh well, it was still a fun concert.

Life Changes

So after four fabulous years in Provo, I have graduated and moved out of good old Provo. The problem is that I have no job. Sad! Right now I am attempting to find a job, which is definatly not my favorite thing in the world, in fact it is quite frustrating. So if any of you out there have any great job ideas, let me know! Until I find a job, my parent's are being great and letting me crash here in Bluffdale with them.

Oh yeah, only 5 more days till BYU Football, I AM SO EXCITED!!!

I Love The Olympics!


I absolutely love the Olympics! I have been looking forward to this years Summer Olympics all summer! I love to watch these athletes (many of which have incredible life stories) fight and compete to win and achieve their dreams. I love seeing world records broken and the excitement and sheer joy on the faces of the competitors. It is so inspiring! The most inspiring story I have heard from Olympics thus far has not been from one of the athletes but from another hero. Many saw the 9 year old little Chinese boy, Lin Hao, who walked into the Opening Ceremonies with Yao Ming and the rest of the Chinese team. His story is incredible! His school was demolished in the earthquake that China had a few months ago. He some how climbed out of the rubble and then went back in not once, but twice to save two of his classmates. I believe I heard that only 10 members of this class survived. When little Lin Hao was asked why he went back for his classmates despite the danger he said that he was a class leader, a hall monitor, and that it was his job to go back and help others. I almost strated to cry! What an incredible kid! He is a real hero! Plus, he is just so adorable.
On a different note of the Olympics. I love Michael Phelps and I hope that he goes on to win all 8 medals!
