Park City Fun With Friends

In April, we got the chance to have a super unexpected, super fun, super mini-vacation!  My best friend Emily (see my post on her wedding HERE) works for KSL, and one of her coworkers let her use his Park City condo for the weekend.  The condo normally runs for $1000 a night in the on season and we got it for a mere $30 a night!  So, we had a fantastic weekend of fun and friends:

This is where we stayed: Black Bear Lodge


These are our awesome friends, Emily and Jason who made this whole weekend happen!

 One of the highlights of the weekend:  AWESOME caramel apples!

There was lots of lounging and movie watching:

The amazing kitchen in the condo:

We definitely made a dent in this game pile:

Daniel and I enjoyed a vacation from our queen bed.  This bed was HUGE!  It had this foam mattress that was 4 inches thick and made you sink way down into it!  SO NICE!

Amazing bathroom!  The condo was 2 bed, 2 bath:

Because we can't really afford vacations of any type right now (darn grad school...), any time we can get away is special, and we had the BEST weekend together.  Shopping, games, movies, food, friends...what more could we want?

My Birth Story--Riley James Faulk

 A warning in advance--this is really long and detailed, so if you don't want to read a detailed birth story (with pictures), then stop now!  This was an important record for me to make and I didn't want to spare any details. :) Technically the story of my labor begins on Riley’s due date: July 24, 2013.   Because I have to go back to school as a teacher very soon (my first meeting is August 14), I was desperate to see if I could use some “natural” methods to get the labor going.   So, on Wednesday, July 24 around ten in the morning I took about 1.5 ounces of castor oil, which is known to get labor kick started occasionally by basically freaking out your bowels so you have the runs—lovely.   I waited for a few hours but nothing happened at all.   Bummer.   My mother and sister came to Salt Lake and we celebrated Pioneer Day by going to temple square and having lunch at the Lion House.   After lunch I started to have some horrible pains in m...

Cedar's Blessing Day

In our church, it is common practice for a baby to be be given a name and a blessing in church during their first few months of life.  This blessing is usually done by the baby's father.  (For more info on what a baby blessing entails, click  HERE ). Cedar Jane Faulk was blessed by her father on July 1, 2018.  We wanted her to be blessed when my parents could be there (my dad flew in from Shanghai), and as an added bonus, Daniel's parents were given permission to come home from their LDS mission in Orlando for a long weekend to attend the blessing!  It was very special for her to have both sets of grandparents there, as well as most of my aunts and uncles, sisters, and other friends. I will admit that Daniel and I felt a little bit of added pressure over this blessing as compared to our other kids' blessings.  It is common to hear babies blessed with things like health, marrying in the temple, etc.  For Cedar, all the "normal" things like that sud...

So I Was in a Show...

When I got back from Dubai, I was B-O-R-E-D.  I was looking for work (since my time at Ecker Hill Middle School ended when the normal teacher came back from sick leave) and nothing was coming up.  I was a stay at home wife. Not cool. So, I decided to audition for a musical-- Lucky Stiff .  It was my first audition in the Salt Lake Valley.  I doubted I would get in the first show I auditioned for since I knew no one in this part of Utah and I assumed it was probably even more competitive than in Provo. Regardless, I went for it...and got the lead female role!  I was shocked, not only that I had got cast as a lead but also that I got cast as the ingenue!  I tried to think back to all the parts I had previously played and I could not think of one role that would be considered an ingenue role.  I'm always the villain or the quirky weird character, which has always been fine because those are great roles to play.  For example: My senior year i...
