Olympic Gymnast

I feel in love with gymnastics in 1996 and I wanted to be just like Dominique Moceanu when I grew up. Plus, she did her floor routine to "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." Pretty stinkin' sweet.

So we went outside and put some 2x4's on some blocks. It took me a while, but I changed my mind after that. haha.

Not What You're Thinkin'

Provo Pop Culture, Faceless Peer Pressure, Magnanimous Marketing Techniques, Big Bows...

Much time has been spent looking at wedding dresses. Not that I'm getting married or even potentially close to any such commitment. Nevertheless, I fantasize of the bridal shot of me in a southern gown twirling a lace umbrella with bald cypress trees, swamp, and a 'gator in the background. Sounds silly, I know, but a girl can dream can't she?

Plus Becca's dress is exactly like something I have envisioned.

Longer sleeves.

ANYTHING BUT square neck!

Small train with lace over top.


With ruffles on the floor...

BIG BOW in the back!

Maybe something simple, elegant. Like the yellow dress from "The Work and the Glory."

Or just somethin' Southern!


And I want zebra bride's maids' dresses...with a yellow bow tied on!

Swimmin' Trunks Seventy

John Davis has an older brother as it turns out. His name is Thomas William Davis. In 1861, Thomas was ordained a Seventy by John Scott. His ordination number in the Huntington Ward Records is 144. He's the last one listed on this page.
I can't even contain my excitement! For some reason or another, this discover is HUGE to me. I also learned that I'm practically related to most of the Davises in Utah. Ain't that somethin'?
