my friends are better than yours

this year i am viewmont high school's dance company assistant artistic director.

i love it.

the amazing artistic director and my wonderful friend was diagnosed with MS a few years back. she is still in her 2o's.

every year the MS walk in salt lake city falls on the dance concert weekend. after walking and talking with some of the people i love most, i just want to say thank you.

thank you for not giving into your illness.

thank you for the impromptu but definitely definite forming of our own dance company ragnar team.

thank you for talking with me about how dance and the arts help us to understand the sacred things we learn in the temple.

thank you for being passionate about creativity in all forms.

thank you for our plan to get together and instead of talking, improv everything we want to say to each other.

thank you for making me realize that i can't truly live, without dance.

Yesterday I received a t-message from the one and only kelli case that said:

"Tell Trey happy 420! Hahahahahahahahah"

She knows our love for the holiday.

Except I totally forgot and wore my Mickey Mouse t-shirt.

Which is a disgrace to 4/20 and Mickey Mouse.

Last year on 4/20 we went swimming, I was tan, and wearing shorts.

This year I drank hot chocolate at work.

Say hello to my little friend...

The iPad.

Oh yeah.

We totally got one.

The announcement of this little baby was greatly anticipated in the Richards' household let me tell you.

("Sara! It's practically faster than your computer. It could replace your computer!")

We waited in line. Early.

This is how grumpy Trey was.

Even though for the past 3 weeks every conversation of ours went something along the lines of:

"Trey, what do you want to eat?" "You know what I really want? The iPad 2."

"Trey this is cool!" "You know what's really cool? The iPad 2."

"(insert anything I say here)" "But Sara. Think about the iPad 2."

shocked that we actually got one.

Pure Joy.
