Flashback Friday

So this picture isn't technically a "flashback" picture, it was taken a couple weeks ago on Kane's birthday. The flashback is just my memories of going to this park, Bear Park, in Sandy. My brothers used to play football there. The playground is almost exactly the same as it was 20+ years ago. I've been searching for a picture of me at this park, but haven't found one yet. I'll post it later if I find one.

For Sale

Sold them, yay!

*Update* I've realized I'm not going to get full price for these tickets. Someone make me an offer!!!

I've ended up with 4 extra tickets to Stadium of Fire at BYU on July 4th. Featuring Miley Cyrus, Blue Man Group and Glenn Beck. 2 are on the field, 2 are on the second row. I'll sell for the price I paid the byu ticket office.
2 field seats $262.00 (Field, row 14, seats 21-22 - purple F's on the seating chart)
2 row 2 seats $152.00 (Section 32, row 2, seats 1-2 - blue 32's on the seating chart, also these 2 seats are next to me...bonus!)
I know they are expensive but they are really good seats.
You can see the seating chart below.
Comment if you want them, or email me

In other news, we closed on our house last week and we have already ripped out all of the carpet. Hopefully we will move in within the next month. Yay!

Driving


A few weeks ago Kasey was learning about budgeting in school. She asked me how much an Eclipse costs. I told her it depends on if it's old or new, but still pretty expensive for a first car. She said, "Well, maybe I'll get it for my second car, you know, after I wreck my first one." What!!! She said she thought every new driver wrecks their first car. I guess they hadn't discussed auto insurance in her class yet!

1998, Kasey in my Eclipse :)

Heaven


I was going to get a pedicure on Thursday and didn't have anything to read while I was being soaked, buffed, razored, massaged and painted. I stopped by Smith's and picked up The Five People You Meet in Heaven. Is this a book that most people have read? Seems like I've heard the title a lot. Anyway, I couldn't put it down. These were a couple of my favorite quotes from the book:

"Strangers," the Blue Man said, "are just family you have yet to come to know."

Wouldn't it be great if everyone understood this?

The next one is:

Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do to ourselves.

I've understood this concept of the need to forgive others for quite a while. (Definitely haven't mastered it yet.) But I thought this was great wording.
