The big recap of tour… here it comes!!! (In other news, I’m in the midst of trying to figure out my future. All good-wishes, job advice/tips, prayers, etc are accepted!) A glance of the famous streets, as redone by Hausmann. I’ve got a text book that tells more about why Read more…
I am back! Europe was wonderful, filled with amazing stories. I always enjoy getting away and being more or less disconnected for a few weeks. It’s like pushing a big RESET button on life, and when you get back and pick up the pieces of normalcy again, you feel rejuvenated Read more…
I meant to go to a concert in Orem. I meant to go running. (I suppose I still could…) I did finish my thesis revisions, and I can’t wait to get the final signatures and call everything DONE. I probably should be doing laundry, or writing a packing list, or Read more…
Dear dude on that ldsdating.site, I’m tired of you, collectively speaking. Yes, yes, there are some true gems on there. I do believe that. I mean… I’m on there. But let’s face it: you’re most likely talking to me because of my looks. Flattering, maybe, but it gets old super fast. Read more…

One of my committee members asked a compelling question today: where did the dancing masters come from? As I’m searching the web tonight…. I’m not finding much information. Based on names, some seem to hail from Ireland while others seem to hail from France. The video above is based on Read more…
I’ve been thinking about mountains lately. I’ve gotten to go on some fun hikes in the past week – up Rock Canyon and also Battle Creek Falls – and those have reminded me of other hikes and adventures. Falling down the mountain at Stewart Falls years ago… Getting left on Read more…
It seems that my last two nights of sleep (from about 12/1am – 4:30 and from 5-8/9 am) were flukes. So here I am working on my thesis. I’m totally tired of Facebook…. it’s been helpful these past few days with keeping up with news in Joplin and the tornadoes, Read more…
So one of my committee members suggested I add pictures to my thesis. Actually, I think she would prefer me to add videos, but I have absolutely no time or resources to add videos to a text document. Instead, I became a model for my own thesis. Yep, to avoid Read more…
