Today, I saw a commercial for the Snuggie....

"Today, I saw a commercial for the Snuggie. I thought it was a stupid idea but I couldn't change the channel because I was under a blanket and I didn't want my arms to get cold. MLIA."

Hey everyone! We had a pretty busy week here. It was lots of fun though. Monday we had off of school and we spent the day cleaning up the apartment. It's been really tough to keep it clean because we are temporarily living in a construction zone. They remodeled the entry-way with new paint and new floor and new doors (including ours) and new trim. It looks real nice and spiffy, but it's caused a lot of dust to get kicked up and moved around. After this week, though, it should be all finished up. We're pretty excited for life to get back to normal around the house.

Wednesday night I had a concert. It was so fun playing in it. The first half was a piece by A. Luigini called Ballet Russe (Russian Ballet), and also a strings only piece: Capriol Suite by Peter Warlock. The second half we played the entirety of Prokofiev's Fifth Symphony. What a piece! It is possibly one of the most demanding pieces I've ever played. It was lots of fun, and my horn professor was very impressed that the Symphony took on such a difficult piece. It was lots of fun. You can look up any of these pieces on Youtube except for the Luigini.

Thursday Brittany and I attended the reception of a friend of mine who got married, Nancy. I met her a long time ago through a social networking website that I joined for about a week. It was a random meeting, and we eventually found out that she was related to a family that the Mealey's knew in PA (the Gravers) but it was good to see her again and we had fun eating there. We didn't stay long, though, because we didn't know anyone and really wouldn't have had time to talk to Nancy anyway.

We've been recently trying to find a buyer for our old laptop because we wanted to downsize to something that would be easier to carry around campus. We went to Best Buy to price out what a mini laptop would go for, and asked what we might be able to get for our old laptop when selling it. According to Best Buy's website, they would have given us $70 for it (yes it was that old). So we put an ad on Craig's List, and after dealing with waaaay too many spammers and scammers, we finally found a buyer on Friday. We talked throughout the day, and eventually settled on $130 for the laptop. We were ok with getting double what Best Buy would have given us. So we took that, and put it towards our new computer. It's just a little Asus that has been super fun to use. It has 1000x better battery life and is lightweight, both of which we were looking for.

Last night, BYU Varsity Theater was showing The Princess and the Frog. We wanted to go see it because we'd heard good things about it and it was only a dollar at the VT. We got there, though, and it was sold out! We were sad, but we just went off into what's called "The Den" and sat on some couches and watched a movie on our new mini laptop. Thankfully, our friend Chris has a Netflix account that we could watch movies online. Thanks bro for letting us use your account!

Anyway, that's basically been our week. This week's recipe is non-existent because we didn't really try anything new. 'm srry. Get your own! GOSH!
Love ya,
Christian and Brittany
