Halloween!!!

Kelsey, Kristen, Nichelle, and I decided to be the Flinstones for Halloween! Kelsey-Wilma, Kristen-Bam Bam, Nichelle-Dino, and Me-Pebbles. We might get Brian, Michelle, and Jeff to be Barney, Betty, and Fred respectively! I'm so, so excited!!!

twinkle, twinkle little star

I'm going to work for NASA now!

m-m is the difference between magnitudes of a star measured at 2 different distances

m-m = 5log(d/D)

Now lets define absolute magnitude

-Let M represent absolute magnitude

-We pick the distance of 10 parsecs to be the distance associated with M (D=10pc)

m-M = 5log(d/10)

or

m-M = 5log(d)-5

m-M is also called distance modulus

Just get me out in the night time sky and I'll find the distance of any star for you. :)

My Family

Families are like fudge - mostly sweet with a few nuts. ~Author Unknown

The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

When you look at your life, the greatest happiness are family happiness. ~Joyce Brother

In some families, please is described as the magic word. In our house, however, it was sorry. ~Margaret Laurence

Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one. ~Jane Howard

Our most basic instinct is not for survival but for family. Most of us would give our own life for the survival of a family member, yet we lead our daily life too often as if we take our family for granted. ~Paul Pearshall

Now that I've moved out again and don't see my family nearly as much, I've realized how much I really do need them. We're all grown up and on our own, but every once and awhile we all get together on a Sunday. And I remember why I love them so much. They love me and they make me smile. My family isn't perfect, but we love each other. So here's to my family, where ever they may be reading this, I love you all and think of you often! And thank you for always being there for me!

Enjoying the Journey

"I begin by mentioning one of the most inevitable aspects of our lives here upon the earth, and that is change. At one time or another we’ve all heard some form of the familiar adage: “Nothing is as constant as change."

Throughout our lives, we must deal with change. Some changes are welcome; some are not. There are changes in our lives which are sudden, such as the unexpected passing of a loved one, an unforeseen illness, the loss of a possession we treasure. But most of the changes take place subtly and slowly.

Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now. The lives of all of us, of course, go through similar alterations and changes. The difference between the changes in my life and the changes in yours is only in the details. Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching come the changes.
This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and non-existent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now.

Of course, there is no going back, but only forward. Rather than dwelling on the past, we should make the most of today, of the here and now, doing all we can to provide pleasant memories for the future.

Stresses in our lives come regardless of our circumstances. We must deal with them the best we can. But we should not let them get in the way of what is most important—and what is most important almost always involves the people around us.

Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of tomorrows"

President Thomas S. Monson

My love, My life, Utah football and Louie Sakoda

Last night, Utah played Oregon State. Oregon State had just beaten the number one team in the nation, USC, the week before. And this was a HUGE game for Utah. My mom, Lee, Sara, and I all drove up to Salt Lake to go to the game! The first half was pretty good for the Utes. The defense was awesome! We went into half time leading 20-15. The second half was not so great. We didn't score the whole second half until the last two minutes...The score was 28-20 for Oregon State with two minutes left. Brian Johnson gets us down the field and we get the touchdown! We go for the extra point and don't get it. BUT a PI was called. And BJ ran it for the extra point. I was going NUTS!! I was screaming and jumping! It was insane. So, Oregon State has the ball with 1:30 left in the game. Tied at 28. The defense holds them and they have to punt. Utah gets the ball on the 45. Before the offense even gets on the field the crowd starts chanting "Louie, Louie, Louie". BJ and the offense come out and get us to the 24! The crowds goes crazy with "Louie, Louie, Louie". Kyle let the time run down to 2 seconds. Louie comes up, kicks the field goal, and it's GOOD!! We all rush the field! It was out of control. Everyone was going crazy! I thought I might die. And it smelled like beer. Ha. Down by 8 with 2 minutes and we win by 3!! The best game ever!

I've always loved Louie! He's my favorite player on the team! And guess what?? I got a picture with him. Yes, with Louie Sakoda!

LOUIE AND ME!!!!

Lee, Me, and Mom on the field going crazy!!!

6-0!!
