Fun Stuff

A few fun things have occurred in my life lately, which I thought I would share via pictures...

Banff, Canada.  Photo from auski.com
Fun Stuff #1:  The Banff Film Festival
Honesty, I find the arrival of the Banff Film Festival World Tour to SLC more exciting than the Sundance Film Festival.  (Gasp.)  Not only has this film festival put Banff on my bucket list of places to visit, but it brings some of the coolest outdoorsy films to Utah.  The husband and I went one evening (on a date!) and watched a film about a nine-year old girl who is a champion rock climber, another film about paragliding off of Mount Everest, and another about conservation efforts on the coast of Oregon, plus more.  Very cool.

A more professional picture, I totally have a crush on the guitar player.
Fun Stuff #2:  Danny being invited to play at his friends' gig
Remember how I recently mentioned Danny's buddies band Jumbie.  Those cool kids invited Danny to be a guest guitarist at their last show.  Of course Danny rocked, because that is what he does.  They had one excitable, dancing crowd.  I was happy to sit back and enjoy the good tunes.  That makes me sound old. (Compared to all of the college kids there, I was.)


Fun Stuff #3:  Finally getting a Library card
I've been meaning to get a library card for like, umm, 2 years.  Better late than never.  Honestly, I've had a gift card to Barnes and Noble for quite awhile, so whenever I wanted a book, I'd go buy it.  Aw, the luxuries of life.  However, that gift card ran dry, which is ok because that gave me the extra push to take a jaunt down to our little library branch and get my own card.  I'm looking forward to the great books that are in my future.


Fun Stuff #4:  Take-out Indian Food
Indian Food I didn't have to make + The Husband + Netflix = One Happy Jannifer

Fun Stuff #5:  Girly Winter Party
My creative friend Elizabeth threw a little girls-only winter party with chatting, games, chatting, prizes, chatting, silver and white decorations, twinkle lights, chatting and yummy treats (as seen above).  It was a fun evening out and my introverted self even got to know some new people.

    Question: What are chatting prizes? Sounds fun! I love your pretty red fingernail polish! Random, I know. Wish we could have heard Danny jam with his buddies!

    Jannifer, Grampa and I went to Banff in 1971. It was awesome, and that was even without a film festival. I think you would like it there. I'm glad you finally got a library card. Even if they don't have what you want at the library, you can get almost anything through inter-library loan.

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

By
I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester.  This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready.  My first creations were these little paper/foam trees.  I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it.  They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note:  You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project.  Don't!  I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all.  Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture.  You just punch circles out from the scrap paper.  Then hot glue the circles to the foam tree in

2013 - The Year of Grace

By
I know we are well into 2014, but I'm still in the midst of recounting last year and making goals for this year. As I've looked back on and thought about 2013, I have to admit it has been a rocky year. However, during some of these hard times, I feel like Danny and I have drawn even closer in our marriage. I sure love that man of mine. I really think what makes a strong marriage is facing the tough stuff together. I have also grown closer to my Savior, though at times it didn't always feel like it, which I will discuss more below. I can honestly say, this year has whittled me down to a rather more fragile version of myself.  I think that is what being humbled is.  I have been humbled.  I’m still working on being humble. I think with this past year, I’m understanding more what grace is.  I think you have to experience a lowly place to even feel the need for grace.  I agree with the common phrase: “Do your best.” However, I don’t think we always understand what ou

This Weekend

By
This weekend was a whirlwind experience.  I realize I could split this up into like 4 or 5 different posts, but I'm just going to do one big, long post.  So get a snack, get comfortable and prepare yourselves. Friday Night:  Danny's Concert with his friends, The Atomic Thunderlips Danny performed up at the Layton amphitheater and rocked the house!  I really mean that, he did such  a fantastic job.  He opened for his friends, The Atomic Thunderlips, who also put on an awesome show. I had great fun clapping along to the music with my nephews who came and being a bit of a proud wife in the audience.  We all went out for a late night dinner at Iggy's afterwards, which showed me that I'm not in college anymore, because I got heartburn afterwards.   (Growing old, sigh.) Members of the family that came to support! Me and my nephew Dr. C before the concert. The boys clapping along. He can play with his eyes closed, he's that good. Danny the guitar man
