Welcome to the World!!!!

Heidi and Randall had thier baby last night! Yesterday before we went to church (at 9 am) we got a call saying "Heidi might be in labor"-- well it turned out she was and around 11:00 pm last night the baby made its entrance into the world! We went and saw them today at the hospital and boy oh boy is it one cute little girl! She has lots of hair and a cute little smile and like Heidi said "she has all her parts and they are all in the right places."

It is exciting to be a aunt-- and I think Jon is going to like the idea of being a uncle-- he's already decided that he wants to be the "Goofy" uncle! I'm not quite sure what that means :)

Les Miserables

Last night we went to go see Les Miserables at the Pioneer Theater in SLC. We didn't actually have tickets because the show has been almost completely sold out for a few weeks (actually I think the house manager told us that there is one ticket left for any of the showings!). So we decided to try our luck with the student "Rush" tickets. We thought the curtain was at 7pm so we got there and hour early at 6pm, but found out that the curtain wasn't till 7:30 pm. So while we had to wait nearly and hour and half-- in the sun:(-- we were first in line and got really good seats. We made it in about five min. before curtain (the others in the line didn't get tickets until the second act).


WE LOVED IT! It was such an amazing show. I loved the message of the show-- which I'm sure is different for everyone. For me the story was about peace-- finding peace amid a fallen and chaotic world. That each person that comes into life is met with injustice, war, vulgarity, evil, hatred and pain, but that there are ways to overcome them and to live a good life. I was also impressed with the themes of justice and mercy and war and peace that ran throughout the show! Jon's favorite character was Valjean and I really loved Eponine, especially her song "On my own". I thought she was quite the tragic hero of the whole show.


Oh, man it was SO good. I highly recommend it-- even if you have to stand in the sun for an hour!

Heathons Resurrected!

So after almost a year of inactivity, I, along with my very talented side-kick husband, are going to resurrect our blog. We now have a consistent source of internet service, which makes updating this thing much easier!

I realize that a WHOLE lot has happened since we got back from Jordan almost a year ago, including....

We Graduated!!! Finally. We both are offical BYU Alum (that is what our t-shirts say) as of April 26, 2007.

Jon got a BA (which is why his tassel is white) in Classical Studies-Latin Emphasis and I got a BS ( which is why my tassel is yellow) in Community Health with a minor in Women's Studies. Dick Cheney, the Vice President, spoke at Commencement. There was a big protest on campus ( I know imagine ...at BYU) about him coming but all in all his comments weren't anything too earth shaking. The only bad part was having to get there so early for security checks, but at least they gave a us treats:)

So After graduation.... Jon got a job with an engineering company called WesTec in SLC that makes water treatment equipment. He is working with the research and development department and really loves it. He especially likes telling people that he graduated in Latin and is now planning on doing a graduate degree in Environmental Engineering. He is a strange duck :)

Jon's new job is in SLC so we decided to move, kind of last min., to SLC. We got SO lucky and found a wonderful little duplex. It has two bedrooms, a garbage disposal, a dishwasher and Jon's favorite part-- a big unfinished basement. He has already set up his "shop" down there . And I planted a garden-- a little garden-- but still I have to start somewhere.

Oh, and then the most exciting thing to happen since last year is that we are expecting...

BUSTER FARRELL

(don't worry that isn't the real name-- just the womb name:)

in December 2007.

Right now we imagine it looks something like this.

Amazing! I am just about 14 weeks, so we still have a month or so till we find out if it is a boy or a girl.

Anyway, Life has been really good to us and we are very happy. I'm sorry that I haven't kept this blog better updated but I plan on changing that very soon.
