Nickels

Do not be deceived by names like Nickel City or Nickel Mania if a child ever asks you to take them there. What sounds like a cheap place to go for entertainment is not so. Yes, the games are measured in nickels but if you want to entertain for more than 2 minutes you’re going to need a lot more nickels than you’d think. This outing took over 800 nickels. 

But this girl got to play a game she has been thinking about for over a month, so maybe it was worth it?

A Queen: If the Crown fits!

I am not a fan of being in the spotlight. Today a flock of district representatives flooded my gym with balloons, candy, pens, and oh the most important part a grant for 1000 dollars for my bike shop. I guess I can handle the spotlight for a good cause. 

And sometimes you don’t want to cook and Burger King is the answer. And sometimes, even as a 47 year old, you need the crown! (Rozz thinks it’s ridiculous!)

Professional Bike Rider

Did you know they actually pay me to take bike rides three days a week? It’s pretty fun, even if it is also pretty cold these days. Maybe the payment is needed.

I get to see pretty views!

And look for hearts…signs that my mom is always near!

 

Provo River Delta

Took my kids out to the new River delta made by Provo City to protect the beloved June Sucker, a fish that is only naturally found in Utah Lake.

 It’s a pretty place and I look forward to riding my bike around the new trails!

Wickedly Wonderful

If you haven't seen Wicked on Broadway, what have you been doing with your life? 

My life was forever changed when my mom and I took a spur of the  moment to New York City.  I went to see Kelly Clarkson in Central Park.  My mom went to be a tourist(I joined in too) and she suggested Wicked and I am so glad I have those memories with her.

Don't worry if you haven't been able to catch the play, it is okay because now you can redeem yourself by going to see the movie that is now out in theaters.  

The movie is amazing.  The music, the scenes, the talented actors...it is magic for 2 hours and 40 minutes.  I loved it.  

Day dates are the best.  Reub and I caught the movie and then had wings at one of our favorite spots.  Wickedly wonderful day!
