Mustard, Mayonnaise, Catch-Up

So.... It's been a while.... Life has been busy. But great! I believe the last time I posted anything I was in Salzburg. So let's catch up.

Leisel and I spent our last days going around Salzburg like tourists. We took pictures with the Festung, Mirabell Gardens, pictures with the Festung at Mirabell. Typical touristy things. It was nice because it was actually sunny.
Then we said goodbye to the Zauggs. The Zauggs are the senior missionary couple that are assigned to the Salzburg area. They are amazing and took great care of me and Leisel while we were there. They are our Salzburg parents and I love them! After we said goodbye to Salzburg, Leisel and I headed for a weekend in Munich, Germany. It was a good weekend. We splurged and stayed at a hotel! First time we'd stayed in a hotel since February. It was nice. Munich was good. We were both kind of lazy and took the weekend nice and slow. But we saw some fun things. Like the old government building, some cool churches, and some cool gardens. It was a really nice weekend. Full of Kebap, Church, and good times. From Munich I headed home. It took a 10 hour flight, 2 hour layover in Atlanta, and 4 hour flight before I finally arrived in SALT LAKE CITY, UT! It was great seeing my family again! The next stop after SLC airport was Cafe Rio! Yup. It was delicious.

Once I got home, I caught up with friends and family and it was splendid. :) Two days later Gaby and I went to Park City to visit Kollin! It was a lot of fun. Gaby, Kollin, and I rode the Alpine Slides. Those things are sweet!

Then we swam a little and laid out in the sun and took a bunch of silly pictures. And we took some cute pictures too... So Park City was great. Since Park City I have been balancing life with friends and life at La Beau's.Life has been pretty splendid. Full of adventures. Getting ready to go back to Cedar City. Work. All that good stuff. Life is Europe was great, but I guess it is time to get back to the real world of work and school. I am so grateful for the time that I was able to spend over in Europe. I learned so much and saw so many things. It was an amazing experience. One that I will look back and cherish all my life.

A Lovely Story

This lovely story was written by me during my Tourism Management class today. I hope you enjoy it ;)

Once upon a time there was a girl. This girl was sitting in class. The class members were doing a presentation. During a particularly long and boring presentation the girl realized that she had the desire to go to the bathroom. She decided to wait until the end of the presentation to leave because that is the kind thing to do.

Well 40 long minutes went by and the group had not finished their presentation. This lovely girl began to feel very uncomfortable. She was fidgeting in her seat. Playing with her hands. Tapping her foot. She was doing everything she could to keep her mind off of her bladder. But the pressure in her bladder became unbearable. She thought she was going to die.

Just when she thought she was going to die an even worse thing happened. Her bladder exploded.She didn't realize such a thing was possible. But she discovered that she was, unfortunately, wrong.

13 days later, after a very excruciating time, she died. And everyone blamed the boring group and stupid class. THE END.

This story has some fact and some fiction in it. It's up to you to decide which is which.
