April Wrap Up/Weekend Catch Up

I'm WAY behind! I just didn't make time this week to blog, I need to be better about that. I can't believe that today is May 1!! I also can't believe it snowed again today on freaking May 1. Not amused. On to the Best of April...

Top 5 days in April: 3, 4, 12, 23, 26

Top 5 songs

1. My Rights Versus Yours: The New Pornographers

Wow, I listened to this song 94 times in April. Obviously, I become obsessed easily.

2. Midnight Train to Georgia: Gladys Knight and The Pips

I just love this song and The Pips in the background make me smile. Especially the "a superstar, but he won't get far" part. Listen for it and the ahs that follow. Classic.

3. Touch My Body: Mariah Carey

Ok so my inner music snob cringes a little bit when I admit I like this song. But I can't help it! Plus Amy and I keep trying to one up each other with substitute lyrics. We have a lot of time on our hands.



4. Rich Girl: Hall and Oates

We always listen to this song when we dance on Lesley's deck with Sonny spinning the tunes. It better get warm soon so we can dance again!



5. If You Leave: OMD

You know when your iPod is on shuffle and a song comes on you haven't heard in forever? I LOVE this song and of course it makes me think of Pretty in Pink, a movie I was obsessed with in 8th and 9th grade. Good times.



I had a pretty good weekend last week and even though it's almost the weekend again, I'll update you. Friday I went to Brewvies to see Happy Valley. It's a documentary about drug use in Utah County (home to Provo and BYU) and it was hard to watch. The film maker has a personal connection as his ex-wife and step-daughter both used heroin. It was poignant and I bawled through the whole thing. I'm still thinking about almost a week later. See it if you get a chance.

Saturday a few friends got together to celebrate Monty's 24th birthday. First sushi and libations at Ichiban!


He got a special present...


I tried some raspberry sake...it was just ok.


Sonny, Mont, Scott


Kellie and Pouya


Me and Allen (Les in the background)


Then it was off to Murphy's to watch the Jazz game. Sonny and Lesley!

Sonny tried on my sweater


Allen and Monty just keep getting closer

Sunday I went to diner at my dad's. I could only get one picture of Teagan and Scarlett because they were being crazy and wouldn't hold still!


Later I introduced my mom and Paige to Lars and the Real Girl. It's still my favorite movie from last year and Ryan Gosling is SO good.
