The Phantom

So on Tuesday night, Alicen called to see if I wanted to go to the play at Hales theater tonight rather then going to school. I asked what play was going on and it was their version of the phantom of the Opera. Hales theater called it- "The Phantom."

I said yes, because I like the phantom of the opera, so she called her work and got the tickets and I skipped class to go see it. We got 6 tickets for the show from a friend at her work. We called my parents to see if they wanted to go, as well as calling Robyn to came. We all met at the Crackle Barrel over by Hales theater to eat. It was OK food but has gone down hill since last there.

As for the play, it was really different. When you think of The phantom of the opera, you think of the music and the story you have seen before. The Hales Theater version was totally different then anything I have seen before. It was really good but short of perfection. It did not have the original music or story line. The acting was good and every ones voice was perfect in their own way. The girl that played Christine was beautiful and had a great voice. The guy that played the phantom was good but did not look the part. All in all, I would recommend the play to any one. It was good in its own setting. I was glad to go and spend time with my wife and my parents. I think they we're surprised to see we actually asked them to go and a surprise they accepted to go. It was a good evening and a good change of pace from just work and school. I hope everyone had a good time because I know I did.

Shout out to my Cous!!!

I just want to post on my blog that this last week in our Ward. My cousin Danny got called as the second counselor in the bishopric. It was so good to see him get that calling. Danny is a great guy with a good spirit. He will do great in his new calling, and really do the ward good. I am proud of him. I am glad that he got the calling and not me. Just thought I would give a shout out to him and congratulate him on his new job in the church.

Economicial Stress

So the economical stress of the country finally hit my employment. At Intermountain Concrete, they finally had to lay off some employees. Lucky for me, I was not one of those let go. The whole idea was scary. The day before we were to know who is staying and who is going- there was talk and comments said that made everyone nervous. You really don't see the problem until it hits close to home. The good thing about my work is that they don't want to lay off anyone unless really needs be. I liked how they handled this situation. They started by closing down a store that was helpful in the area serving but not making a lot of money for the company. Then moving employees from the store to another store. Then as for employees let go, one was a part timer, the other was a soon to be retired employee. The last was a good worker just in a bad situation. I don't like to see anyone in the company leave but they way it was done really helps know the company cares. In these stressful times it good to know that I still have a job and doing my best to keep it that way. I hope the economy can get back to normal and better.

Slacker!!

So I have been slacking over the last couple of weeks to update my blog. But I have come to realize I have not done anything to really blog about. My wife took care of her birthday and the zoo on her blog. Then between school, work and finding a house. I really have not done anything that I find worthy to blog about. So that is why I have slacked off. I only write to say I am a slacker but its not my fault. So other then its April 1st (all fools day) and the weather in Utah is Snow. I have nothing more to day. And no the snow is not a April fools day joke. We really have snow.

St. Patties Day!

Today is St. Patrick's day. Last night to get ready, put the kiddies to sleep and then decorated the house with leperchaun footprints and clovers all over the house. Then we left a little present on the table for both kids. I guess Kinni got a blast out of it and ran all over the house, (at least that is what I was told. I was all ready at work). But I dressed up in a green undershirt, then my green polo. I put on my four leaf clover necklace and wore my St. patties top hat. Although took it off once I got to my office. Its a little tight on the head. I was the only one at work to even dress up. Everyone seems to forget this holiday. Tonight we will go to my parents to eat corn beef and cabbage. Yummy!! Its going to be a good night. I enjoy this holiday. Everyone thinks its funny that I get into it but with a Grandmother that had fun with it, why not keep up the tradition. I hope others would too.
