Why I Heart David Archuleta...

So as I was watching American Idol the other night I decided a few different things:
1. This is by far the best season since Justin and Kelly in the very first season. It's the first time
since J & K that I find myself humming the songs the next few days after the episode.
2. Everyone who has thus far been voted off has definitely been the right decision.
3. I always agree with what Simon says about their performances. Sometimes he can be mean,
but he is usually right on the money.
4. My favorites this season are Brooke and the cute David Archuleta...he is humble and cute, and
very talented! I think the reason that I love him so much is that he reminds me of my friend
named Brad Dalton. They both have this cute innocence about them that make you just want
them around. Basically they just radiate goodness.
5. I am totally addicted to AI this season and every Wednesday we have "American Idol Breaks"
so that we can watch our favorite performances from the night before in our office. I have
decided that everyone around me needs to be as addicted as I am this season...

Spring is almost here!

So, this weekend was especially nice here in the freezingness of Utah...as I drove closer to Salt Lake, the temperature reading kept getting warmer and warmer! It was a whole 20 degrees warmer in Salt Lake than it was in Logan. That's right, I said 20 degrees! These are the kinds of events that make me ponder why I still live in Logan...until I look around at the mountains. We are surrounded by some of the most beautiful mountain ranges I have ever seen. I have gotten used to having them as a backdrop to everything that I do, so I will brave the cold to be able to stare at them and enjoy nature.
On another note-we had a great relaxing weekend with Dad in town and got to stay in SLC for the weekend to have a break from our lives. We experimented with a couple of new restaurants (both of which we will go back to), got to take a tour of the capitol given by our own insider who's key apparently opens a lot of doors, and we saw the movie "College Roadtrip". It was a fun movie, although a little dumb, but it was fun and there was an extra bonus:Donny Osmond! I really think that he is so cheesy, but I love it! This movie is definitely a renter.
Also good news....The Office will be back on the air with new episodes on April 10th! Until then, I have been watching some clips on the website, and one of my favorites so far is when Dwight is talking to the camera and says: "Whenever I go to do something, I ask myself, 'Would an idiot do this?' and if the answer is 'yes' then I do not do that thing."

I can see clearly now...

So, the sun is shining on a daily basis here in Logan and it is fabulous! There is still a little snow predicted, but it looks like winter is on it's way out! I really should never say that out loud, but it is true...but it does make me a little sad to think about where I was headed this time last year. ARIZONA! We went to see our beloved A's play in Phoenix and had a wonderful time soaking up the sun and eating hot dogs in the Phoenix Municipal Stadium and becoming famous for being the loudest Swisher fans in the place. I know that Phoenix will always have a special place in my heart because of the good times we have had there. And the hot baseball players we have seen there.
This weekend I am heading out of Logan for a few days in sunny Salt Lake! My Dad is flying up for a weekend of fun with me and Laura. Although with the craziness of my world lately, fun is curling up on the couch and watching a movie-or catching a new episode of any show. Anyways, we should have a great time for a few days just doing whatever we want. We will be sure to document with photos...
