Hooray for Housing!!!

Summer is creeping up on us and it won't be long before Nick is off to DC. We were starting to get a little nervous about the housing situation. Since we won't be taking a car this year and our time schedule for moving in and starting work is tight, we really wanted to stay in Fairfax Towers again this summer. It has a shuttle to the metro so Nick can easily get to work. It is also close to some shopping and grocery stores, so that is handy.

They usually don't let you reserve anything until 30 days prior to your expected move-in date, but we heard back today and we're in! One furnished apartment for us--whew!

Disney on Ice

Princess Wishes

I saw an ad for Disney On Ice coming to Salt Lake a few months ago and really wanted tickets. Nick was a good sport to agree to go with me. We almost didn't get to go because of an after-school professional development scheduled for the same day, but we were able to make it.

It was such a great show!!! We splurged on $12 snow cones (ridiculous I know, but the cups are super cute!)

They did pieces of pretty much every great Disney show: Aladdin, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Mulan, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella.

There were cute little girls all over the place dressed up as princesses (even some moms were dressed up). I felt like a little kid and enjoyed myself way more than someone my age should at something like this--but it really was great! Nick even smiled through the whole thing.

They had AMAZING costumes, did great stunts and even had fire and fireworks. Just thinking about how much fun it was makes me want to go see it again!
