Kitchen Chairs!

Who knew that kitchen chairs could make a girl so happy? Not me. Anyway, we haven't had kitchen chairs for the past 2 months. We've been using a desk chair and a camp chair. Very nice. We got a nice table from my mom and just haven't bought chairs yet. We finally found some last night! They're so dang cute and I just love them. My mom wanted to see some pics so I figured I'd post them and some apartment pics up here!

Cute little chairs. I love them. :) Here is the office, where I sit most of the day.

So you think you can dance is coming to Utah!

I absolutely love the reality show "So You Think You Can Dance". It's basically like American Idol for dancing and I can't get enough of it. I have loved to dance my entire life and this show is amazing. I have watched it for 3 seasons now and I can't get enough. At the end of the show, the top 10 dancers go on a tour across the U.S. to perform. Last year, I went with a bunch of friends down to Reno, NV to watch the show! It was awesome and a ton of fun. It was crazy though because we went right before finals and it was a really long drive and my car broke down. :) Not so good. But I just found that this year the tour is coming to Utah! They are performing at the E Center on September 23! YEAAHHH! I'm so excited and I can't wait to get tickets! I just wanted to blog about it because I'm so happy about the whole thing. Hurrah for SYTYCD.

Here are a few of my fave dances so far this season:

Boating

We went to Rockport Resevoir on Saturday to go boating with Danny's family. It was a blast! It was about an hour and a half from Logan and we just met the family up there on Saturday morning then drove back to Logan Saturday evening. The weather was perfect and the water was really warm! We went wakeboarding, tubing and played on the water weenie! It was a great day and so much fun!

Miss Universe Pageant

So I just had to write something about this. We were watching the Miss Universe Pageant last night. Miss USA made it to the top 10 and she was doing the evening gown part and she came out and biffed it! She fell right on her butt. It was really sad but really funny. It was just one of those things that you don't expect at all and after it happened, we couldn't stop laughing. So here is the video of Miss USA falling:

So when I was looking for that video, I discovered that THE SAME THING HAPPENED LAST YEAR! No joke. Miss USA fell in the Miss Universe pageant during the evening gown competition! Can you believe it?! What are the odds? That is just outrageous to me and so hilariously awesome. Here is the video from last year:

Independence Day!

We went down to West Jordan for the 4th of July and it was really a great weekend. Thursday night we met Danny's family and went to the Real Salt Lake game. It was a blast and even more exciting when a fight broke out and the fans went a little crazy! We got to go on the field and watch fireworks afterwards. Then we stayed at Danny's parents' house on Thursday with about 15 other people which made for a very exciting evening. :) Friday we went with Danny's extended family (about a million of them) up to Millcreek Canyon to have breakfast. It was a blast and a lot of fun with all the kids and people running around. We went swimming Friday afternoon and then went to dinner and fireworks with my parents on Friday night. It was a great holiday!Dan and I at the Real Salt Lake game

Jackson Hole

So Dan and I went to Jackson Hole for a quick trip this weekend. We went to visit Danny's brother Mike, who is managing a river guiding company up there. We went with Danny's two younger brothers, his friend Jeremy, and his other friend Kavin, and his fiancee Elisabeth. We packed into one car (and one on a motorcycle) and drove up Friday night. It took a lot longer than we expected and by the time we got our tents set up and in bed, it was after 2am. To make a long story short, it was a rough night for everyone and nobody got much sleep. But Saturday morning was awesome and we got up and played beach volleyball and went on an amazing river trip down the Snake river. It was incredible! The water was higher than it has been for several years and the rapids were huge! We had a blast. After that, we went into Grand Teton National Park and went on a hike to a beautiful waterfall. It was a busy, exhausting day, but tons of fun! Here are some pics.
This is Elisabeth, Kavin, Dan and I on top of a rock at the bottom of the waterfall we hiked to.

Wedding video highlight!

Here is a short highlight clip of our wedding video on youtube. It should be finished in the next week or two I think, but you can watch it so far here. It will be about 20-30 minutes total and I can't wait to see it!
