Drew and I have been trudging through classes and Drew has had the financial burden upon himself since he was the only one with a job this semester. (Not for lack of trying though... I applied for 52 jobs and only got an interview with one of them)
We have seen some pretty fun moments this semester though. It opened up with a bang with the wedding of Jerusalem couple Heather Evans and Daniel Shallenberger. It was so nice to see everyone and have the first couple get married. And they're super cute together.
And as an awesome surprise, look what Daniel had as his groom's cake:
The Dome of the Rock!
That was such a good start to the semester. Also I've had a pretty good semester. Drew was my speaking partner in Arabic (we just had our last speaking appointment... YAY), we saw each other every day, I LOVE my Honors CIV class and Qur'an class is simply sublime. Also I get to see Melanie Chao every single Monday and Wednesday for our class together. Overall pretty awesome.
Oh yeah, and I'm taking a ceramics class to have fun! Look at some of the things I've done:
An artichoke! My first ever time working with clay
Another "bowl" for my coil project
This was supposed to be my main thing for the coil project but it kept dying and eventually shattered before making it to the kiln. :(
This is going to be my replacement. I figure I can paint on all of the neat designs.
This was my wonderful slab project. It was an R2D2 cookie jar!
But he was so awesome that he exploded in the kiln. :(
I have some other projects but I haven't been bringing my camera to class with me. That and we've been doing throwing on the wheel... a fun and frustrating endeavor.
But on to the rest of the semester.
Earlier on in the semester we were invited by our friends Raul and Lena to come visit them while they were performing in Park City. Drew and I have never been so we thought it was worth it to see it and support our friends. Park City was gorgeous! Man, I loved how when I was there I forgot that I was still in Utah. Umm... perfect for me.

My love :)
The restaurant
Leonardo's was super yummy. It was a lot of food for a relatively cheap (well, cheap for Park City) price. I highly recommend going there if you ever get the chance. It's on the second floor of the mini mall across from the theater on main street. I'm sorry I didn't take pictures of the food, but I was so darn hungry that I inhaled it whenever it came out.
And what is dinner without a little bit of music?
Raul and Lena!
They were SUPER good. Apparently in Paraguay they're actually quite famous, and just the fact that they're from Paraguay makes Drew happy. It's just an awesome bonus that they're some of the nicest and funniest people you'll ever meet.
More about the semester to come!
