Take the old VW and you and me we could go for a spin!

Today I almost died. Its true! I was driving along I-15, heading to a class at UVU,minding my own business when my tire (the rear right tire to be exact) decided to blow! 
Now if you can imagine, traveling at 70+ (usually lots of + the way I drive, haha) miles and hour and having a tire go flat doesn't exactly create an environment in which you'd want to throw a party. Thank goodness though it just made my car shake and not swerve! (ya I didn't really feel like smashing into a freeway full of cars today) So I was able to safely pull off to the side of he road and then call my sweet husband. Well he came right over and fixed the tire like a pro!  The picture here below is him running up to save my day! (which he did!!) 
In the end all was fixed so my car was drivable again, and I was even able to make it to class relatively on time! Thus concludes my near death (kinda) experience today!

Coming Soon To A Theater Near You...

UVU presents: Biology,English, and Fitness for Life starring the lovely Katie Winn!!! BYU is now showing their hit film Too Much Homework with the brilliant Joshua Winn!! 

Ok as you can tell we've started school and we are really trying to keep a positive attitude about it! Its really not that bad, especially for me (Katie) because I've been taking a break from school since January, so I'm actually having fun being back in a learning atmosphere! 
On a more interesting note (or at least more interesting for us), at the tail end of August, Josh and I decided to carpe the crap out of the last few diems of our summer! To do that we headed down to Tuacahn, a beautiful theater set quite literally against the red rock splendor of southern Utah! We got to go see Les Miserables and enjoyed it immensely! Talk about awesome: good music, great scenery, and even a friendly face! Alex DeBirk from our high school days was down there performing with his oh so talented wife! After the show as our excitement started to fade, and our eyelids began to droop, we realized we still had to drive all the way back! Now for those of you who haven't been to Tuacahn, first of all we recommend it, Secondly its about 4 hours away from our cute little condo in Pleasant Grove! (Another word to those who haven't been to Tuacahn-"Stay in a Hotel!!") To make a long story short we made it home at 6:30 the next morning with many driver switches and a two hour nap in a gas station parking lot. Over all we felt it was a fun way to end the summer and we'd do it again!
