Kelly's house, Wedding Dresses, and Guitars Unplugged

We decided on a last minute whim to jaunt over to Eastern Idaho for a fun weekend at Kelly's. Look at the this awesome view outside of her house looking over Ashton! We've decided that there is something therapeutic about going to her house and it shall forever be the Draper family's favorite Resort. Thanks Keith and Kelly for letting us just "vedge." With Tom's broken cell phone while being miles away from the lot, all the movies and games the boys could ask for (away from Middleton Unplugged), and snowball fights-- it was just what the doctor ordered.Complete with a big breakfast And an adorable little sweetie that was the only female cousin around


Then, Megan, Kaylee, and I hit the town running on the hunt for the perfect wedding dress for Megan's big day. A lot of this...

And a little of this...



and we found the perfect one! Sorry, Joseph. Can't post the pictures yet, but you will just melt when you see her. It was special after all these years to go back to the store that I bought my dress 13 years ago. After being around boys for all this time, I sure felt like a fish out of water looking at all the floofy, sparkliness.

On Saturday night, we were able to watch Scott, Meg, and Joseph perform with their band at BYU-I Guitars Unplugged. They have performed a number of times before and we have wanted to be there watch them! Since this is Scott's last year because of graduating, we knew it would be worth the drive to have Kaden and Zach see them. Here is a pre-show pic




and at soundcheck in the afternoon.




They did incredible! Way to go guys. I was so proud of my bro, sis, and soon to be bro-in-law. They are so much fun to watch.
***Side note to all of the old Ricks College friends who read this: Holy Cow. Guitars Unplugged is huge compared to when we started it 14 years ago. Memories of Troy, Kelly, Ken, and I judging the auditions in the MC and then watching the little show in the Kirkham---totally different now. It is big.***
Thanks Eastern Idaho crew for the memories!

Hey Mindi, YOU WERE HERE!!! You have to come and see us next time. It is amazing how huge guitars unplugged is, huh? Did you see our little commercial for the RAD class that I teach? Everytime I tell the girls that our group of officers started guitars unplugged, they are pretty amazed. Sorry to hear about the accident that Tom witnessed, that is hard to go through. We have family in Nampa, maybe I'll have to look you up next time I am over there. Take care.
