Mad Knitting Skills

Check out my very first knitting project ever! One of my law school buddies started a knitting club, so a bunch of us decided it would be fun to squeeze in learning a new skill between studying and writing million-page term papers. Here's the result of my endeavors: a berry blue-tiful blueberry hat. Don't worry, it's NOT for me. Even though it's adorable, I'd look pretty goofy sporting this baby around the law library. I'm hoping it will fit the cute little noggin of a sister of mine (the Lanna-B of course, I don't think it would look any better in the Pharmacy School). Now if only I could work up the mad skills to make some matching mittens. Maybe next year...for now I'll stick to the easy stuff.

Go Utes!

Yay! The Game (you all know which one I mean, of course!) was so great this year! Garrett and I had so much fun cheering our team on from the MUSS (Mighty Utah Student Section for those who haven't had the pleasure/pain of being in the MUSS). While we are not always entirely in love with the MUSS (particularly when we get squished by moshing undergrads who are trying to think up ways to fit four letter words into their not-so-clever taunting of the other team), we always love our team. Go Utes!

Super late Halloween photos!

Please forgive the super late Halloween photos! It wasn't a really big holiday for us this year because Garrett had to work, but I had a great time hanging out with family. This cute, scary Lanna-animal decided to monkey around on the monkey bars by our apartment. I caught her right after she answered Mom (who said it was time to leave the playground) with a big Nooooo!


She was pretty intimidating, slinking around the Village. Her aunt made her this adorable outfit and she was warm, cute and fuzzy in it all evening. We never quite figured out what kind of fancy Lanna-animal she was, but she looked so fun in her costume.


Here she is making a scary Halloween face as we left to visit Heather up at the pharmacy. Isn't she terrifying?


Trick or treat! Give me some yummy vitamins to eat! Actually all the people at the pharmacy loved having Lanna come trick or treat, and they had some yummy candy ready for her. Now if they could only cure her of all the fuzzy yellow fur she seems to have growing all over her!


Even Toby joined in the Halloween fun. He's such a funny little bumblebee!


I just realized I don't have any pictures of me in my I-was-too-lazy-to-figure-out-a-Halloween-costume-so-Mom-bailed-me-out-with-this-pumpkin shirt. Maybe next year we'll do some more fun things for Halloween, but the best part was sharing the left over trick-or-treat candy and watching scary movies with Garrett on the weekend. Somehow it just isn't Halloween without hearing those magic words, "Here's Johnny!" Thank you, Jack Nicholson, for making our belated Halloween appropriately scary.

Fourth Folder, Fourth Photo

The fourth photo in the fourth file on my computer is this great picture of the faculty at Garrett's graduation. Not the best or the most exciting photo, but it was a pretty exciting day, one that Garrett is really happy to remember every time he wakes up from a dream where he is back in school. Good job, babe! What is really funny is that we'll have five graduations one right after the other: Me, Garrett, Jim is next, then me again, then Heather. So Lanna should be pretty well prepared to do it herself someday after watching all of us put on our goofy robes and finally get that diploma (cover...then wait for the real one in the mail. Doesn't that take just a little of the fun out of it?). Thanks for the tag, Fred. Now I tag anyone who wants to do it! Fourth file, fourth photo. Enjoy!
