September
So I am really struggling to blog as extensivly as my wife does. She’s a pro. But I figured at least once a month would be okay so here is my September update! Woo hoo! oh and for those of you that have gotten lost while trying to find Nikki’s blog it has moved to a new location. It can now be found at http://thehallzblog.blogspot.com/.
September has been a ultra über fun month filled with so many good times. So let’s start at the beginning… At the start of the month.
Lately I’ve started working with one of the most amazing men in the world on a few little film productions. Working with the perfection that is Phil Hudson is amazing. We’ve been working on a few screenplays for a while now and this was the first project that we actually got to almost fully run the development and production. All in all, it was an incredibly fun time. Thanks again to everyone that helped us get it rolling.
For Labor Day, Nikki and I started the celebration by hiking Mount Timpanogos with; freshly home from Iraq, Payden, the amazingly beautiful Colby and his fantastically fun girlfriend Heather. Hiking Timp has been a tradition that Payden and I started oh so many years ago and now that he is home from his mission and then Iraq we can continue to fulfill it. We left around midnight on the 7th and got up to the Saddle around six in the morning. Nikki and I froze for a couple hours at the Saddle waiting for the sunrise while Payden, Colby and Heather headed up to the peak to get the “full effect.” Overall the hiking was amazingly painful and cold but worth it. We had a blast.
After hiking Timp we headed to the Taking Back Sunday and Blink-182 with Payden and Phil. Thanks to State Farm Insurance we got our seats upgraded from the ‘nose-bleeds’ to the fourth row! The concert was amazing! Nikki’s posted the rest of the sweet pictures and even a pretty stellar video on her blog. Check it out!
On 9/9/9 I got The Beatles: Rockband! We have had a blast playing! If you guys didn’t already know I am pretty much obsessed with the Beatles and love everything about them so 9/9/9 was a humongously huge day for me.
Let’s see… some other fun things we did this month…
We had the greatest barbeque with almost all of our best friends from High School. Some people sadly could’nt make it but we know in our hearts they were there in sprit. Everyone was, Brittany and Jay, Sam, Phil, Aubrey and Jason and their beautiful darling boy Boston, Payden, Lacey, and of course Colby and Heather. We love you guys! Had a blast, can’t wait to do it again soon!
On September 10th our great great great friends Brett and Alexis tied the knot. Seeing them married warms my soul. I’m so happy for the two of them. Good on ya guys… good on ya.
The rest of the month was filled with the business of starting school and continuing to work full time. of course Nikki and I found time to golf a few times. She’s getting really good. I’m impressed more and more each time we go. Maybe if she’s good she’ll even get her own clubs soon!
Oh and Nikki and I finished a mean “Finding Nemo” puzzle the other day. But Nikki covers all the things like that.
As for things coming up in October… well… Nikki and I leave this week (October 3rd) for our cruise through the Western Caribbean! We can’t wait! We’re going to have a blast! Really the thing I’m the most excited for is to go to three new countries I’ve never been… the Grand Cayman, Honduras and Belize! I can’t wait.
After the cruise we have Halloween! Which of course mean… the dancing skeleton’s return to Supersonic Car Wash! Hooray! It’s going to be an amazing month.
