The Utah Trip

Well, early August I flew to Salt Lake City, Utah, to visit my brother, Shane, and his girlfriend, Tiffany, in their new home. I was also there to be free labor. Nah, really, I am so glad that I was there in perfect time to help them get settled in because I know that is not an easy process. So there isn't anything too exciting to report about it. I cleaned walls, taped walls, primed walls, painted walls, and removed tape from walls. Predominately, that is about it. I also ate some delicious veggie sandwiches (brie cheese, cucumber, tomatoes, alfalfa sprouts, avocado, and lettuce) with Shane. He made tofu-onaise to put on them that was quite tasty (even though thus far I have intensely disliked tofu). He also made a vegetarian carrot-corn quesadilla filling that last us for the six days that I was there. Finally, on Sunday, Shane and I went to see The Dark Knight. It was his first and my second. Oddly, I didn't enjoy it as much the second time but I think I was trying to be extra critical plus I knew when all the scary parts were going to happen. I still look forward to seeing it on DVD and catching on the behind-the-scenes extras, like how did they make it so that Batman's head can turn? You know it has never been done in the movies before, big stuff. Anyhoo, here are some photos from the trip:

My brother in the doorway to their downstairs 1/2 bathroom (it's very short).

The dinning room (nice and blue). Shane's working on his computer in the kitchen.

The Hallway/Stairway - nearly all done.

And this is the only people photo (it's Shane in the kitchen).

Well, so that is that. It was a great trip and I am so glad that I was there to help. I'm looking forward to visiting again when it is all set-up and when there is snow for me to play in. Whoo hoo!
*HUGS* for Shane and Tiffany!
