What are you thankful for? I am thankful for you!

This is the first Thanksgiving I have been home in 5 years. I have served with VIDA in Mexico the past years working at an orphanage and building a home with Mexico's Save the Children FAI-Sonora. I was sad to not serve this year but it was nice being home with family. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Halloween '09

My parents went to Fruita, CO over Halloween. The kids had a ball!


Peace, Love, and Happiness!



I went to a party with my friends at Noah's for Halloween. It was a 25-40 dance - I didn't know that. I thought it was a house party at Noah's home. The dance was okay but definitely not my thing. I think there were a few people over 40. I felt like there were people my parent's age. Awkward!

SYTYCD

Amy, Mom, Celeste, and I went to the SYTYCD concert at the E Center on Saturday, November 7th. The top 12 dancers from season 5 performed group, trios, duos, and solo dance numbers. I was so overwhelmed with joy and talent I was smiling the whole night and even shed a tear or two.

The concert was never-ending. They talked a little to introduce each number but other than that it was full dance.


Top six girls who danced at the concert were Randi Evans, Caitlin Kinney, Janette Manrara, Jeanine Mason, Kayla Radomski, & Melissa Sandvig. The top six guys were Kupono Aweau, Brandon Bryant, Phillip Chbeeb, Jason Glover, Evan Kasprzak, Ade Obayomi & Jonathan Platero.

Run For Your VIDA - 5K

Saturday, October 31 VIDA organized their 2nd Annual 5K on Halloween. All of the effort and proceeds will be donated to the VIDA Mexico Housing Project. This year Marcia and Lindsey really worked hard to make this race happen. We as a board-helped with donations, runners, and volunteers. This year we earned $1,000 for the housing project. We still have a lot to learn about putting on an event but we are learning and still having a good time! Thanks to everyone who supported the race and donated your time, legs, and/or raffle prizes.
