The Leaning Tower

So...In the last few months Emily and I have had quite the adventures. We've been to Hawaii, Italy, and Vegas.

Hawaii was awesome. We relaxed and enjoyed the beach and waves. Good times.

Italy was great. We went to Rome, Florence, Bologna, and Venice. The Roman empire was amazing. It's incredible what a civilization can achieve when it reaches for greatness. So often in our world today greatness is left behind in the name of 'tolerance' and 'equality'. Sad. The David is an amazing piece of art. I really didn't think I'd care for it much but it ended up being a favorite. Lastly Venice was fun although I didn't have enough time there.

Emily was able to sing in numerous locations including St. Peter's! That was cool experience to hear her sing there with so many talented people :)

Vegas was Vegas. Emily had never been and as much as I don't like the place, I felt she needed to experience it at least once. We stayed oddly enough at the Venitian. It was nice and while there we saw 3 shows. The Phantom of the Opera, Le Reve, and The Lion King. To summarize, Phantom sucked, Le Reve was amazing, and The Lion King was good.

On the home front back in Logan, UT I've started up some martial arts training. I'm currently a yellow stripe headed for my yellow belt :) It feels quite good to learn something new and train my body. I wanted to train in something that specifically would give me better flexibility and better control. So far I feel I'm achieving that.
