So I realize it's a bit after Halloween, but I just received a link to video footage of "The Band", featuring Stuart (aka Flea) on bass. This was their first gig, played at open mic night at the stake center on Halloween. Some of you may recognize the members of "The Band". That's Stuart to the left (outside of the spotlight), Bishop Dale front and center, vocals, Zach Odil (with the cape) on guitar, and Mark Simnit on drums. I don't know the 2nd guitarist or the harmonica player. Prepare for some jamming!! Enjoy!!
Hello Family
I just wanted to answer a few questions about my beautiful, talented and lovely fiance Sarah.
She is originally from the Fresno Area but her family moved to Vegas for her senior year of high school. She is the third of three girls and is the only one who remained single long enough to go to a bar. She served a mission, Spanish Speaking in Toronto, so she is fluent in Spanish but not from serving in a Spanish speaking country so no need to feel threatened grandma. She is 28 years old a little over a year younger than me. (yep I will be thirty this year I'm getting old). Her mom is from Henderson and her dad is from Idaho.
She works for a non profit right now and works part time as a photographer which is why the pictures she takes and or edits are so great. Really look how great the one of the Bellagio fountains is.
We are planing on getting married the 2nd of May at the Manti Temple with a simple reception that night in Salt Lake. We know that not everyone can attend and if you can't we still love you and won't think anything less of you. We really just wanted to keep it low key, and just like the idea of manti. It is where her parents where sealed and like having the wedding in the middle of nowhere.
As for the other quesitons I can come cook a turkey Sym, but it was not that special honestly. The one uncle Rich made was better I'm sure. Also we got the ring at an antique store in downtown Salt Lake, it is a gold band with a platinum setting placed on top of it with a third carrat stone. People seem to care about this stuff. It was not forged in the fires of mordor but we can come up with a good story anyways. All we know is that is an art deco piece probably from the 1920's.
I am sure that I am missing something so just ask questions away and we will try our best to answer it.
Joel
Joel cooked the turkey (the amazing turkey) and most of our dinner by the way. A little overkill in impressing the family? Maybe. The food? Delicious.
In true Vegas resident fashion, the family hit one of the classier locations on the strip to check out the conservatory and fountains at the bellagio.
Joel seemed to win over my nieces and nephews to boot. My niece Gracie is a flirt so it wasnt so difficult. On his shoulders one minute and kicking him in the shins the next.
Joel also worked as my photographic assistant as I took pictures of this cute little family.
At one point he asked my sister Christina to shoot a couple pictures of us.......just for kicks and giggles. And something about being quick with the shutter.......
So yeah, Thanksgiving was good. I look forward to meeting you all soon. I kinda like this Joel guy.
Here are some recent pictures of Satchel and Nina. (We don't have any Halloween photos because the kids had the flu that day. )
Nina is showing off a fall collage she made. This girl loves the art projects.
