Briannn Regannn!

Laughter... one of the finer things in life. And six months ago that is what Jake gave me. The gift of laughter. Also known as Brian Regan tickets. Well it was a long wait but the long awaited show had finally arrived and it was definitely worth it. We drove down to Salt Lake and enjoyed a romantic dinner at TGI Fridays and then it was off to Abravanel Hall. Jake got us some great seats right above the action. It was awesomeeee. So if any of you haven't heard of Brian Regan, check him out for sure. And yes he is on Netflix. 





Baby Oliver

Get ready for a few posts everyone... I am very behind in my blogging. The past month has been very eventful! A few weeks ago we were able to drive down to Draper and see our new nephew Oliver get blessed. It's was so cool to actually be an aunt to this newly born bundle of joy. I felt a special connection with him and had a hard time saying goodbye. So here is a tribute to my little man... it hopefully won't be too long until I see you again!

The makings of a certain Georgian Jacket.

Hardest class I have this semester...? Pattern drafting. Yeah, lets take a girl who's hardly ever sewn and throw her into a class with some experienced and intelligent seamstresses who actually know what they're doing. Best idea I've ever had. The good thing about this situation is that I get free breakfast about twice a week and I get to work with a bunch of rather hilarious individuals who don't mind helping me out with EVERYTHING. Our first project for this class was to draft and build a Georgian style jacket for UST's production of "Loves Labors Lost". Nancy designed the piece and I was to build an exact replica of the drawing. This terrified me but I really had no choice. So along with some MAJOR help from my mentors I built this great jacket. So thank you Brandee and Amanda... I couldn't of done it without you. In fact, I couldn't of done anything without you. And although I needed so much help, I'm rather proud of myself for accomplishing and creating something I never thought I could do. Now I just can't wait to get really good at it! Fashion world here I come!
