My new cell phone:

To the left you'll find the most advanced piece of cellular telephone technology, and I have recently acquired it. It took over an hour of hastling the t-mobile representative but I finally got him to give me the phone for a mere $200, which is $100 off the price that most people get it for. The phone has a 1.3 megapixel camera, an mp3 player and a removable/expandable memory. I also found a way to trick the phone into being able to use any song as a ringtone, which has been great especially to have Rosie's ringtone as Kalai's "Divide Me," which has come to be 'our song'. The phone is so small, comparable to even the Razr, which is the newer popular phone I was about to upgrade to with Verizon. This has the most amazing screen resolution i've seen, as well as a great picture when it comes to photos. I was converted to this phone when I saw Christian (Rosie's best friend Amber's boyfriend) had it. If you want to take a look at it yourself, go HERE.

Here is a picture from the camera that we took at a UVSC game last week. The referee jersey I have on is the new Rowdie's shirt of choice (Rowdie=a hard-core UVSC b-ball fan that makes a lot of noise)
Love you all!!

First Weekend in February:

Rosie and I had a lot going on this weekend and thought we'd show everyone how much fun we had. Friday night we went to the UVSC "All-Nighter," with our friend Matt. We got there early to help out and it turned out to be a lot of fun. First we all manned the popcorn machine. After the first batch got a little burnt, we learned from our mistake and turned out some sweet free popcorn. You gotta love the awesome orange Staff shirts we wore to show everyone how important we were...and good at making popcorn. After turning over the job to some other Staffers, we went to the ticket booth to sell admission bracelets. We definately saw a lot of interesting kids come through the door. We had to turn away quite a few underagers. The party went on until about 3am, we helped clean up and then went home and somehow got some sleep.
On Saturday at 1p we went to the BYU basketball game where we beat the Air Force University Falcons. The Falcons beat us on the road, so we had to give it our all at this game so we could take the win at home. Rosie, although a hard-core UVSC fan, joined in and helped BYU win an amazingly close game. We had a lot of fun and can't wait for the next home game.
Saturday night, we went to Velour, as we usually do at least once a week, and saw Palomino-probably our favorite local band. Below are some pictures that I caught on the digital.
Brinton Jones, the lead singer and a good friend of ours.

Finally, on Sunday we got together with our game-night married/work friends to watch SuperBowl XL, while the Steelers put the smack down on the Seahawks. I will admit that I'm somewhat of a closet Seahawks fan and I was disappointed in the loss, but the get together was a lot of fun. Here are some pics from the party:

Here is the whole group (from left to right) Becca, Isabelle, and Dan Hosford, Shelley and Travis Millet, and Michelle and Dave Droge. Of course, we're in the front.

Rosie and I cuddling on Travis and Shelley's big comfy couch (also the name of a kids show a few years ago...). Notice the Seahawks shirt that I created for the celebration.
Love you all!!

Spring Haven (UVSC Student Gov't Retreat)

This past weekend Rosie and I travelled up Hobble Creek canyon to Spring Haven-a huge cabin that's owned by BYU. This was for a UVSC Student Council Leadership retreat that turned out to be a lot of fun. The picture to the left is us in the back seat of a big truck driven by Rosie's friend Brook who, we'll admit, could pay a little more attention to the road (we were scared). You can see the iPod headphones we're sharing...we were trying to drown out the girls in the front seat singing Garth Brooks as loud as they could. You can see our friend Matt on the right-he came with us and we're glad he did. The trip was a lot of fun; I played a lot of basketball as well as some highly competative dodgeball. Rosie got her dance and her socializing on. All around it was a good time. We got there Friday evening and left Saturday around noon. Its real pretty up there, as you'll see in the following pictures:
