The Greatest Adventure

The Monday before Valentine's Day, my FHE group made Lord of the Rings inspired Valentine's cards (they turned out quite spectacularly).  Anyways, during this creative time, we were listening to music from the Lord of the Rings trilogy, which got us talking about the old animated versions of the Hobbit and Return of the King.  Now I am watching them, and I forgot how much I loved these movies.

I had also forgotten how well I knew the dialogue.  There was a moment where I was quoting part of the Hobbit for a good five minutes.  But the best part of these movies...Glen Yarborough singing...


Ahh, my childhood.  Good times, nay, great times.

Schnappi Das Kleine Krokodil

So, we have two sheets of butcher paper on our wall that we can draw pictures on.  The other day I decided to draw Schnappi, an adorable German crocodile that Josh introduced me to a few years ago.  This is what my drawing looks like:

Problem was, every time someone comes to our apartment they always ask who drew the green dinosaur, to which I always vehemently reply that it is a crocodile.  Anyways, this is where I draw my artistic inspiration from.

On a Wednesday afternoon...

So this one time, my brother Steve was in this group called Living Legends and he told me I should join.  So on a Wednesday afternoon two summers ago, I went to this "open house" thing where I could learn more about the group and then I decided to go to auditions the next day.  Lo and behold I made it and we went to cool places like Alaska, the Northwest, and Russia!



So anyways, after that happened I had a lot of new friends and a great Freshman experience behind.  In fact it was so great I decided to try out again and I made it!  So far we have been to the Four Corners area and SoCal.  We are just finishing up shows in Provo this weekend and we are eagerly looking forward to Nauvoo in the summer.



 And finally, there are three Tian(n)a's in the Native section this year.  We've decided to start a band called "Sharona and the Tian(n)as" and we will go on to have a fantastic career.
