The Dark Side, Signatures, and Ties 101

September 21
Popejoy Hall
John Williams Concert

The New Mexico Philharmonic was performing a concert of John Williams music, so we thought it would be perfect to bring the older kids, who would recognize a lot of the music.  Sean went kicking and screaming complaining that it was gonna be soooo boring!  He said, "There's nothing to look at.  All you do is sit and listen!"  Yep.  All the more reason why he DEFINITELY needed to go.  And guess what?  He made it through the whole concert and even enjoyed most of it.  

Of course, the coolest part was the Star Wars characters wandering around the lobby before, after and during intermission.  They even came on stage when the orchestra played the Star Wars music.  It's not every day you see a Storm Trooper hanging out on the balcony at Popejoy, or get a fist bump from Darth Maul.

First American Title Company

We finally sold our other house!  After a pending sale that fell through and some drama at the end of this deal, we were really happy to sign those papers and be the owners of just one home.  Hopefully we can finally put some time and resources into the house we live in, now that we aren't landlords anymore.  :)  We have so much broken stuff to fix!  Just looking at the list is exhausting.

Ties 101

I got Sean a new dress shirt and tie for his baptism.  A real tie that doesn't clip on.  I enlisted Dallin to teach Sean how to tie his new tie, and I love remembering how patient Dallin was with Sean, and how proud Sean was of his newly learned skill.

I am so glad you finally sold that Tasco house!! What a blessing and I absolutely love that Dallin taught Sean how to tie his own tie, super cool :)

Did you recognize Darth Maul? That's Brent Peterson from our ward, and our neighbor. He was wearing his Darth Maul contacts last night with street clothes. So creepy - way creepier than the full get up! Congrats to Sean, and yay for selling the old house!
