You're Invited...

Some pretty exciting things are going to be happening at Trafalga and you're invited to join in on the fun/madness!

Next Saturday (July 30th) we are celebrating our 1 year Anniversary/Birthday of being open as Trafalga and as such we are having a huge bash. There is going to be face painting, BBQ, a bounce house, different mascots from the area teams, cotton candy, plus tons more of awesome fun stuff!

To get the excitement pumped up for this event and to spread the news this last Tuesday ABC 4 came early in the morning and taped a story about it. Because it was earlier than we are opened and we wanted to have people there doing the activities the employees family and friends were invited to come and play for fun and get breakfast (I cooked the food). I invited Sonia, the kids, Mom, and a couple of friends to join in on the fun. Check out the ABC 4 video here (where Sonia and the kids played a big part in!---Samuel is the best part at the end when he just stares at the interviewer :D)

Notice all of those people...yep most of them are employees (it's not very often that we get paid to go out and play :D)

Greg (in the light blue), our manager...was in his third or fourth shirt of the day by this time.

Sonia loved the roller coaster (which I knew that she would), Samuel looked like he was ready to throw-up, Sarah looked like she was crying, and Katrina had a look that reminded me very much of Ben...it was quite funny to see.

So, if you're looking for something to do next Saturday come join the fun...check out the event page on Facebook here!

Day 3

A picture of the cast from your favorite show.

I watch way more TV than I should but if I were forced to pick my favorite it would be a toss up between Castle and Bones. I like both of these shows because all the characters work great together, both off chances to think and learn. And I really appreciate that though there is chemistry between two main characters and it is obvious that they like each other (at least to me...they're a little slow :D) the writers haven't had the first thing that happened between them be sex.

N. Mexico Domination

The 20th of November BYU had a double day---basketball (against Chicago State) and football (against New Mexico). Kyle, Ben, and I decided to make a day of it and go to both games.

As we were walking up to the game we bought some tickets from guy on the sidewalk trying to sell some...and would you believe that they were on the 2nd row endzone!!?? I know that not all people feel those are the best seats because then you are REALLY close and can't see a lot, but I still felt special and cool :D

It was an AWESOME game! A little cold but the sun came out for awhile and it wasn't too bad.

We saw Cosmo more than a couple of times.

We were really close to the cheerleaders when they would run around when we scored (the guy holding the U...he was in my freshman ward and he even threw me a shirt at one point---now that's enough to feel special :D).

This almost looks like a professional! Only because it is so close and you can see the details, never thought that, that would be something that I could say about my photography.

Though it wasn't too cold there was definitely some wind, look how straight those flags are!

The players telling us that we should be clapping and cheering.

My roommate works concessions and I went to visit her during halftime :D

I don't know why, but every time I see this it cracks me up "Brides have them...Babies have them...Now missionaries have one too! The Missionary Registry."

Kyle and I (he is wearing my hat :D)

Ahh much better

Cosmo

He jumped into the crowd! I've never been even close to something like that.

Did I mention that we won? Final Score...40-7! (we also won basketball ball! 109-60!)

Oh another thing...did I mention that we were on TV? Yeah that's right! There was several people standing beside us that were dressed up rather silly, they won some kind of drawing about being the best fan or something like that and they also caught the attention of the reporter from the mtn and with like 8 minutes to go of the game she came over and climbed up into the stands with us and did a little bit of talking and then we all got to cheer. I had many people tell me that they saw me!

I didn't think that I would get to see it but the Tuesday after the game Brea and I had gone shopping and we had stopped at Taco Time to get some food and I was walking towards the bathroom when I looked up at the TV, I realized that it was the game and stopped to tell Brea that it was the game. Just as I was telling her I popped up on the TV! I actually recognized my hat on Kyle before I recognized myself but it was still awesome to be there at the exact moment when they were showing it.
