Fall Stake Dance

This is our gang at our Stake's Fall Dance. I told everyone to dress western so Jeanne went to DI and bought western shirts, huge belt buckles, and she wore her boots. Needless to say I was in trouble because my pigtails and shirt weren't western enough.Left to Right: Brian & Brianne, Me & Jeremy, Jeanne & Bryant

We caught Brianne singing her heart out to Brian. She turned beet red when she realized we were all watching her. I can't remember if that was this exact moment. Brian always makes the best faces. I am taking voice lessons from Brianne so I know Brian didn't mind her belting.

The Dreaded Candy corn Vampire

This is John & Pat. Pat is the Young Women's Pres. who I talk so much about. I love her, she is great to work with. Her husband is hilarious.

Bryant is showing his bull riding number. Bryant had some pretty sweet moves. We had such an awesome time at the dance. They played the lamest music and when I asked to request a song because I wanted something faster I got an earful from the lady in charge who informed me there were old people here too. So we danced to all of the songs anyways and as Jeanne said in church the next day "we were the floor show."

Phantom

We went to see Phantom of the Opera on Friday in Seattle at the Paramount Theatre. It was so much fun. First we got all dressed up and went to a seafood restaurant in downtown Seattle. Then we had an adventure and rode the bus to the theatre. We did have to do quite a bit of walking as the bus didn't take us right to the place we needed to be. It was raining really hard, but luckily I got a cute new blue raincoat from Nordstroms Rack last week so I was fine to walk in the rain. The only annoying part was that I was wearing a knee length skirt with nylons and the dirty water kept splashing up on the back of my nylons. It did wipe off, I just had to do it a few times during the night. The theatre was so amazing it was built in the 1800s and it felt like you were back in the regency era. There was beautiful gold paneling and the stage and sets were amazing. The theatre seating was so steep you felt like you could fall. The special affects were awesome and the singing was wonderful. We did fall asleep a little in the show because of the lateness of the hour and not because of a bad performance. Man we are getting old.
