Halo 3 Day

Monday night around 11 pm Quinn and I headed down to the mall to stand in line for the release of Halo 3. Mind you, we didn't buy it because it is already pre-ordered back in Texas, we were just there to take in the ambience and support the other die hards that were there to pick up the game at midnight. I was one of maybe 10 girls there. Good times. But Quinn did get to reunite with some of his old Halo buddies. Here is a picture of Quinn, Chris and Kurt standing in line eagerly awaiting midnight.



This picture is after they have touched the coveted game.



Yesterday was my sister Mallory's 19th birthday. We all headed out for a delicious dinner at the Brick Oven. We even got to meet Mallory's new roommate.




I'm including this next picture just because I think it is cute and my nephew Joseph is quite adorable.



Quinn's time here in Utah has been so fun. Today the fun continues as we headed up to Bountiful to spend some time with Grandpa and Grandma Fry.

Surprise

Some of you may or may not know that the last 9 to 10 months have been really hard. Without getting in to too much detail, in an effort to help with the stress I've been spending a lot of time in Utah the last couple of weeks and we've been getting creative with the job search. The last few days have been pretty rough though. However, last night I was sitting on my couch catching up with my newly engaged cousin Megs (whom I hadn't seen since she left for her mission) when my dad walks through the door after "visiting a friend that was in town." But right behind him was Quinn. They had been working all day to surprise me with it. It was a most wonderful surprise and I'm so happy he is here and that we will get to spend the week together.

Thanks to both of our families for supporting us through these difficult times. It means the world to us. Thanks Dad for flying Quinn out here as a surprise to me and thanks to my sister-in-law Heather who gave me a much needed pep talk over IM the other night. It was greatly needed and greatly appreciated. We love you all!

Escape From Ithuria Trailer

This is the trailer for Quinn's team game project that he has been working on since June. It is almost done and they will be exhibiting it in about 10 days. After how hard Quinn (and team) has worked on it, it is very exciting to see it all come together.

Um...hello?

How excited am I??

A peek into Celine's new single is here. In fact, in honor of the new CD I have installed a countdown at the bottom of the page. Check it out.

Cake Mania

We have this new game for the Nintendo DS called Cake Mania. The premise is you open a bakery and have to bake and decorate cakes to keep your customers happy. I really got it more for myself than anything. Last night when we got in bed to go to sleep around midnight, Quinn said that he wasn't tired so he would play Cake Mania to make him tired so he could fall asleep. Let's just say I woke up about 2 or 3 hours later to the sound of Cake Mania still being played in bed. He was obsessed. I had to make him put down the game and get some sleep so he wouldn't be tired for church today. Let's just say that even now as I type this waiting for the time to come to go to church, he is sitting on the couch playing Cake Mania.

West Coast East Coast Rap Rivalry Renewed

Quinn found this video the other day and wanted to share it with all of our family...both on the East Coast and the West Coast. Enjoy! (p.s. the video is clean--I promise)
