The Club
Those of you who are redheads know what i'm taking about - The Redhead Club. Those of you who are not redheads {or fake redheads} may not believe me, but i'm hear to tell you there is a special club among this little group that I LOVE being a part of.
This morning as I got in the elevator at the parking garage, I happened to look over at the middle-aged woman in the elevator with me. She was a redhead, who was obviously dyeing her hair and had some roots growing in, but I could tell that she was a true redhead. (Redheads can usually tell if you're just trying to fake membership in the club.) She was wearing a lovely lilac colored shirt and black pants...I just happened to be wearing a lilac shirt and a black skirt. We immediately started chatting like old friends. People getting in the elevator after us must have thought we knew each other by the way we were talking and laughing.
Just like that, a bond between two strangers... it's kind of like finding out you were in the same sorority in college, or maybe it's like noticing you're from the same small town, or maybe it's not like that at all. What I do know is that there is usually a special bond between redheads. The outside world may not always see it, but the redheads feel it, and it's a wonderful group to be a part of.

No time for blogging...
Last week I didn't have any time for blogging because I was busy spending every extra minute with this guy:
Oh goodness he's fun. I smile more, laugh harder, sleep less, and enjoy life more when this guy is around. After 25 years of practice Sky knows how to push my buttons! He teases me like crazy in a way that only a little brother could get away with.
He also spends hours at night just talking with me about any random subject we come upon. And when i've finally gotten to the 'mumble stage' when my sentences are no longer coherent we finally slip off to sleep.
Now he's off to live his dreams in the shiny state of California, and the Holman house is considerably quieter.

Oh, I am SUCH a lucky girl!
My man certainly knows how to spoil me, I can't believe I got to see Wicked from the BEST seats in the house.

| Chances cute parents got to see it for the first time, and we all got to see it in honor of Sally (for her birthday). |
I was so excited to see this show, and it was even better than I remembered it - probably because I got to sit next to this good looking guy!

Drumroll please….
As of Monday I am no longer 'the intern'. I will be employed at
Zions Bank, a fact that I couldn’t be happier about!
The job combines my background in communications, a little
PR, some production and acting/broadcast journalism, and cause marketing which
means working with nonprofits in my favorite way possible – finding ways to
give people money!
Could there be a better fit for me? I argue, there could
not!

I miss these boys!
If you’re missing Sky you can watch him in this latest
Mormon Message – great message from a wonderful talk and there just happens to
be a handsome redhead in it too:
Or you can watch this trailer for a movie coming this
Christmas:
If you’re missing Landen check out this cute commercial for
USANA that we just got from TMG:
Or you can watch them both in this clip, one of my
favorites:
Ahh, I just love technology and the ability to see my
brothers even when they’re far away. :)

Summer Adventures
It's been a little while since I updated the blog...Not because of a shortage of adventures, but in fact just the opposite.
I would like to start with a little adventure called craw fishing... Yes, I did that. Let me just walk you through this adventure, it begins at some lake up behind Heber where we get out in the pouring rain, tie raw chicken legs to a piece of string, walk out onto the doc where we then toss the chicken in and wait for about 30 seconds. You then pull the chicken leg up just above the water and collect the craw fish off the chicken with a net, then dump them in a bucket (if you miss the bucket you have to pick the little buggers up behind the pincher's and toss them in with the others). Repeat... a lot!
I know many of you are in a bit of disbelief right now. I unfortunately don't have any pictures of this, and if you don't believe me I understand. Chance will vouch for me though. I was very brave throughout the whole process. I even {drum roll please} ate the little shrimp-like things. I will admit that I could not de-shell (or whatever you call ripping the body apart to get to the meat) the little guys, but I ate quite a few of them after Chance prepared them for me.
To round out the adventure I slept in a tent in the woods - 'real camping' as Chance refers to it. All in all it was a great time. I hear this is an annual event. I'll be sure to get pictures next time so you can all re-live this particular adventure with me... or you can just come, there was plenty of craw fish for everyone! :)
Somewhat less dramatic but just as fun was our recent trip to the Rodeo. Ahhh the fond memories of the Days of '47 Rodeo. Even though it's in a different arena, it's just as fun, and the cowboys are just as cute (for my friends to look at of course)! ;)
Next was my recent introduction to soccer. Now, i'm pretty sure i've been to a few soccer games in my life. Obviously there have been a few amateur games with my brothers and maybe a professional game, though I don't remember ever really getting that into it.
Sitting next to an old pro was so much fun! I got a play-by-play description of what was going on, why it happened, what rule was important to the play and what to look for. It reminded me of my introductory days to football, however I can see myself enjoying soccer way more than football.
(Jessica, please don't hate me.)
Another reason i've decided Real Soccer might be THE team for Chance and I to cheer for is their obvious determination to join Utes and Cougars alike in their team color choice. ;)
Other than that, I work... a whole new adventure that i'm loving! Couldn't be happier.
I just LOVE summer!
PS - This wasn't my adventure, but my dad was in Argentina to work on the temple, and just guess who he ran into/tracked down.
Loven' me some Elder Holman time vicariously through my daddy dearest.
