Almost Amish....

Okay so I figured I needed to post here really soon before there happens to be an uprising. I still haven't uploaded any pictures. EYE-FI where art thou?

Things, lately, have been great. We have one last week of FEELIN' GROOVY and then......SCHOOL IS OUT UNTIL SEPTEMBER AND WE GO ON VACATION!

School has been decent at most. Mostly my fault because my eyes see SPRING and they see TEXTBOOKS and my brain does not quite know how to correlate the two. I am a little worried due to the fact that I may not get an A in my Macroeconomics for Business Solutions class (.....I know. For heavens' sakes I'm the one attending it twice a week for two and a half hours each and every week!) My brother-in-law, who is very pro-active when it comes to business savvy, scared the CRAP out of me the other day informing me that anything less than an A is like future career suicide...... I am pretty much an overachiever anyway, but I NEED the upper hand. I can't handle those smarter than me telling me, "You know it's hard, but if you work REAL hard you'll be fine." It makes me panic, but I NEVER show them my anxieties. That's not the dog eat dog way.......until I blog about it......dang it!

I do, however, like going down to Provo. It is my kind of place: clean, holy, and SATURATED WITH ALL THINGS CHEESY MORMON. We have not found a place to live just yet. Apartments down there go faster than MIMI's CAFE BERRY AND CREAM CHEESE STUFFED WAFFLES.......ahhhhh.......coma......what...?...

I labeled the post today after my good Amish friends. Why? Well, you see, I just happened to get my self out of bed this morning and had a few extra minutes before work and thought, "Strawberry jam sounds great."......So I made some. 20 JARS of it! Don't worry about me I just whipped it up. No big deal, really. Apparently Amish people do this too..... or at least it is what they do in my mind. I also picture them all dressed like the FLDS ladies who insist "we just LIKE dressing like this" Come on! Who "LIKES" to look like a common cross between Cyndi Lauper (the shear volume of the their poof alone is enough to make you speechless) and a pioneer? Anywho, the jam is prevalent.

Also this week my dear and beautiful wife leaves me for a place I cannot follow. Well, technically I CAN follow, but if you refer to the paragraph above on SCHOOL you will understand. She is in Dear Valley for five long days in an overly priced and overly sized room attempting to make ornery doctors less ornery all while sitting amongst beautiful scenery that she can't even enjoy. She is a better woman than I, correction, a better PERSON than I. I am going to MISS HER!

Okay enough blabbing and catch up for now. If I think of anything fun and intriguing I will write again.

MOMENTARILY....

Well...I figured our little blog needed some excitement to match our experience in the production of Feelin Groovy! This experience has been ANYTHING but dull, and I think our new look, though momentary, really captures the experience! There is even a dominance of the color PURPLE to rightly capture Greg's famous costume!...(if you haven't seen it...be VERY jealous!)

WE LIVE!

Okay so I am going to throw down every possible excuse for not blogging. The show.....the show.....school.....work....the show.....and the show. BUT WE ARE OPEN and that means we now get at least every other night off of.....well the show. Work and school are not quite that simple. I HAVE; however, been keeping up with blog pictures and will post those soon.
Since we last talked Feelin' Groovy has opened after MANY MIRACLES! It was a photo finish for SURE!
Megs had her 23rd birthday! She says she does not like all the gifts, but many of us got together to start Megs DISNEY CLASSIC DVD COLLECTION! She was pretty pumped about that. This weekend we will be picking out the official DVD stand. I was going to give her HERMIT CRABS for her birthday, but then I figured it was a little selfish because I ALSO really want them. That will just have to be a....you know...HAPPY TUESDAY surprise. Below are just SOME of the many many reasons I love this most beautiful wife of mine.
Your last bite

Her “I am so excited I MUST bite you” bite

Her Happy Squeal

Her need for harmony

Her first thought that is never centered on herself

Her love of babies and children

Her goose honk laugh

Her incredible determination

Her calming presence

Her ability to make everyone feel loved

Her need to be wrapped in a blanket

Her love to read

Her most AMAZING eyes!

Her tolerance of her sometimes grumpy husband

Her love to be with just me

Her most beautiful angel voice

Her love of puppies and their breath

Her devotion to your Savior

Her love to be held by her big strong husband

Her humility about her immense talent

Her willingness to follow her scatterbrained husband (AKA PROVO!!!)

Her love of foreign places, especially the Holy Land (WE WILL GO ONE DAY BABY!)

Her helpless eyes when she wants me to watch a chick flick with her

Her love to organize

Her late night random cravings

Her love of music

Her rocking out on Guitar Hero

Her quick forgiveness

Next month we are going to be celebrating our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! I can't believe that it is already here. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with this girl I love so much!

I have also started my first official semester at BYU. It is been great, but driving to Provo at least once a week isn't killer, but is not fun. I am PUMPED about the situation and my sweet wife is trusting. I just like walking around campus and I think, "why did I NOT do this years ago?" Up to this point it is pretty much my MECCA!
Every now and then when I go into the Salt Lake BYU Center I take the bus. This means MORE BUS 70 CRAZIES! This is where I get the bulk of my great stories. The other day I had to run the bus down because our professor let us out late. You better believe I ran and flapped my arms in busy SLC traffic with no shame. People on that bus don't judge you because, for the most part, they are incoherent and have a sketchy past. Really.
So be excited and pumped to hear more great stories from GREG AND MEGAN'S SUMMER OF FUN! We have some great things planned and will share as they come.
