Leaving, On a Jet Plane

The night before Christmas-travel and all through the house, packing and cleaning that’d starve out a mouse.

Anyways, this last week has been pretty fun. On Friday the company rented out a few movie theaters and we got to go watch Rogue One. Lemme tell ya, it was probably my favorite film of the franchise so far. But it seems to be polarizing, some really do hate it. Sadly most of my co-workers were just ‘meh’ on it all.

Buses lined up to ferry us off to the theater. I never really appreciated just how many movie theaters there were in Utah County, but there sure aren’t that many here. Also, loads up here don’t even do assigned seating. Dark ages, I’m tellin’ ya.

On Saturday night a group of friends got together and went caroling around a neighborhood. Fun stuff, reminds me of Priests Quorum outings on the Petersens’ trailer.

On Sunday the missionaries came over and we watched some good ol’ Living Scriptures episodes.

On Monday an old friend from BYU was home for the holidays, so we got together and caught up. Turns out her dad and my dad served together in France. Small world!

On Tuesday I went to an Ensign Symphony & Chorus performance. Very well-put-together performance. They made excellent use of multi-color LED strips along the walls to set the various moods, very good color direction. Didn’t sound half bad, neither.

Also it seems like every concert hall I go to these days has one of these Chihuly glass sculpture thingies.

Today I’d signed up to feed the missionaries, but I didn’t feel like making dinner, so I had them over to eat at Google. Got to show them around, much fun was had.

Anyways, thought I’d post this before nodding off, got an early flight to catch tomorrow. Chow now.

One thought on “Leaving, On a Jet Plane

  1. Love this week in pictures! I’m so glad you went to that concert. The venue looks amazing – a lot like Abravanel hall. Nothing like great holiday music to make Christmas feel real. Those are a lucky set of missionaries to get to dine at Google. They’ll have something to write home about this week. Oh, make that something to talk about in Christmas Day! Nice gatherings at your place for movies too. It looks chilly though – wish your heater worked better! Can’t tell you how excited we are to see you today! Hopefully you’re reading this comment at the gate. 😁😁😁. Safe travels; we’ll see you soon!! 💜
