Harry Potter...the last movie

Being a fanatical Harry Potter fan, of course I went to the midnight showing of Harry Potter. Chris and I went to the Scera to see it. I like midnight showings there because everybody's so crazy and excited. Chris didn't get there till almost 11pm because of work but I was there at 9 or so. I made butterbeer for us and we snuck it into the theater. We drank it in our butterbeer mugs from Harry Potter World (in Florida) with dry ice so it was "smoking." Some random girl across the aisle pointed at Chris (who was on the end of our row and highly visible) and said "Look! He's drinking something glorious!" which made me happy inside. The theater workers definitely saw us drinking it and didn't stop us. I think they're a bit lax on Harry Potter midnight showing nights. They probably don't usually let people run around casting spells at each other prior to the movie either. Or have costume contests. Or a countdown. Man, I love Harry Potter and I love Harry Potter fans.

This is the only picture we got that night, and unfortunately it's blurry and you can't even see my Hufflepuff badge. Oh well, I'm sure I'll dress up like this again in my life.

Erica's Endowment

Well, this is from way back in June, but I had the awesome opportunity to escort my sister Erica (my mom also escorted... you can have two!) through the temple for her to receive her endowment. It was a really, really happy day!

Tutoring

So I'm planning to tutor a lot more this year. As part of my plan to get more students, I decided to make a web site. I thought I would share with you my extremely well conceived and excellently drawn page layout concept. Here it is, for your enjoyment.

Update: The web site is up and running!

Chaos

My life is very chaotic at the moment. My kitchen looks like this, kind of, but way more cluttered:

The reason is that our apartment flooded last week and everything got kind of stacked on everything else and as much as possible was moved into the kitchen while the carpets dried. And now it doesn't even matter because we are MOVING!

You see, our apartment has some lovely black mold in the bathroom and we think it is making us sick. I was in the hospital last week... not fun, and Chris gets headaches and stuff. So we're moving out some time within the next week probably. Which is exciting, because I'm pretty sick and I don't think I have the energy to pack boxes or anything. Yay.

Lookin' like Auntie Heather

Everyone in my family knows Elly looks a fair amount like I did as a child... I decided to post some pictures of us looking alike! In case you can't tell, I am on the left in both pictures.

Finally... Bridals

Well, I have been horrible about updating my blog. But finally, here are some of my favorite shots from our bridal/formal session that Amy did for us! We love them :)

Oh yeah, if you want to print any of these let me know, I do have copies without Amy's watermark.
