Brian Regan

Oh yeah...Last night Michael and I went to see Brian Regan! It was really good! He is so funny - he is my favorite comedian. He did do lots of old stuff, but there were new bits too. The guy who opened for him was really funny too. His name is Kermet Apio. He has a website where you can watch some of this stuff.

Georgia Trip

Well, we got back to Provo last week. The trip to Georgia was great! It was so nice to see my family and spend time with them. We were there for a week and a half, but that just wasn't long enough. :) We were supposed to get back to Provo last Thursday, but we didn't get back til Friday because we stayed overnight in Denver. When we got to our gate in Denver to switch planes, something was wrong and the flight was delayed and they were asking for a few volunteers to be bumped to a flight at the same time the next day. They offered to put the volunteers up in a hotel for the night, give them vouchers for a free meal, and a free round-trip ticket to anywhere in the U.S. Michael and I didn't have to be at work until Friday night so we were like "Heck yes free tickets for Georgia at Christmas!" so we volunteered to stay there overnight :) We were expecting our hotel to be a cheap, crappy one because the airport was paying for it, but it was actually really nice! The hotel had a nice restaurant and our room had a HUGE king size bed. The only bad part was that we didn't get our checked luggage - it stayed in the plane, so we were without toiletries because of the whole liquids on the airplane crap and I didn't have a change of clothes, but it was still cool.

So yeah anyways....back to the Georgia trip. We did some touristy things while we were in Georgia, but we mostly just hung out with the fam. One day we went around and looked at houses for fun, and one day we went around Athens to look for possible future Sub Zero locations near UGA. Last Monday we went to the Georgia Aquarium. It was so cool and fun. The Georgia Aquarium is the biggest aquarium in the world! We also went there last summer, but it is so big and there are so many things to see, it doesn't get old.

Little sea worms

Divers swimming with the fish in the big tank. You can pay $300 to dive for only half an hour!

Some colorful fish

Nico, the beluga whale. He does tricks and stuff like blowing bubble rings :)

There are small pools with animals like little rays and sharks that you can touch. Last year I had my purse on my shoulder when I bent down to touch a ray, and my purse slid down my arm and into the water! So this year I put everything in my pockets and didn't bring a purse :)

While we were in Georgia we also went to Stone Mountain to see the laser show. The laser show is one thing that's pretty much the same thing every year, but you have to go every year anyway because it's tradition :) This year the show was a little different though because it was the 25th anniversary of the show. I still thought it was good. Michael really liked it - it was the first time he had ever seen it. He liked that it was so patriotic and filled with southern pride. It made him miss being in the South.

So, it was a very good trip, and we were sad to leave. We can't wait to go back at Christmas!
