Karl and Angela Rees

Monday and Tuesday were fairly routine days. Karl went to school. Angela went to work as well as school (her teacher commended her black and white shot of a light bulb used to light up the Y). On Wednesday we drove through a midnight blizzard to pick up Karl's brother Bryan from the airport. (It's hard to say which was more bizarre--a blizzard in October or running around in shorts all day just a few days later). Bryan was here all weekend for a 'Y weekend'--basically a recruiting event for BYU.  read more »

Our work week pretty much went the same as the rest of our weeks. However, we did see “Superman Returns,” on Friday. We enjoyed it, but both of us found it to be a little long and we didn’t like the actress who played Lois Lane. If it was suppose to be 5 years later, don’t you think they would find someone older than 22 to play her. She also didn’t have the Lois Lane spunk. We thought the actor you played Superman did a great job. We also liked Lex Luther.  read more »

These are pictures taken on Temple Square before and after Jessica got married. Angela was trying to get some good pictures for her photography class. There are also some reception pictures.

Karl just accepted an offer to work for a firm in San Jose after he takes the California bar in July 2007.It is the same firm he worked for this summer. As many of you know, we had a very attractive competing offer in Salt Lake City. After a few weeks of debating, we decided that the San Jose firm would open up more opportunities in the long run. We'll be sad to leave Angela's immediate family, and to not be around here for Bryan's first year of college, but we also are excited to be near all of our family members in Northern California.

These are pictures of our adventure through the corn maze with Angela's parents and Angela's sister's family.

Monday through Wednesday we worked hard. After a whole week off, Karl had a hard time getting back in the mood for schoolwork. And Angela was equally enthralled by her work. But on Tuesday she had a fun-filled evening. She went to her first “Advanced Photography” class. This one looks to be much more educational than the first. She has homework assignments, even. After that, she raced home for book club, which was over at our house. They discussed “The Mayor of Casterbridge.” It was a pretty good turnout.  read more »

Record Company Executive: Your fans are church folk, Johnny. Christians. They don't wanna hear you singing to a bunch of murderers and rapists, tryin' to cheer 'em up.

Johnny Cash: Well, they're not Christians, then.

Here's the pictures from our trip down to southern Utah. The Thursday night pictures are from the Tuacahn theater in St. George. Friday we spent the morning driving up and hiking around the canyon on highway 14 near Cedar City. We missed the peak of the fall colors due to early winter weather, but it was still beautiful up there, especially with the clouds and intermittent rain. The afternoon pictures--which are my favorites--are from a drive up to some lookouts over Cedar City. On the way down, the clouds collided with the mountain we were on to create a dense fog.  read more »
