Our Night With the Jazz

Last night, Heather and I had the great privelege of attending a dinner with the Jazz and we had a great time... Watching Heather get so excited about all the players was like watching a kid at Christmas-- It was so funny. Here are a few pics:

If Heath didn't have her dress on, she'd have put Memo to shame on the foul line!

Every time one of the players saw Heather taking a picture, they looked at her and suddenly became quite friendly... go figure.

Here's the Fesenko dude. No one was paying any attention to him so I made Heather take a picture with him. It made his day.

It never ceases to amaze me how tall Sloan really is.

That's actually big Matt Harpring with his head turned at the foul line... I liked taking the pictures more, but I snuck in this one. It didn't turn out as well as I hoped.

Heather did her own sneaking--up to Jazz heart-throb, Kyle Korver. The picture isn't too clear, but you get the point.

We had a great time and lots of fun chasing down the Jazz players all over the arena floor. Heather looked great-- as always.

Where the Heck Have We Been?

Hey everyone!!

Its us again. We've done an extremely crappy job at this... No blogging has occured in this Short Family in over 6 months. I think Eric just liked opening the blog and seeing loser cougars... and he was content with that.

Well... let's give you the shortened version of the last 6 months:

September-- Ute Football. Not a good month for Ute Football.

October-- Ute Football. A better month for Ute Football.

November-- Ute Football. Good and bad month for football.

That was a quick 3 months, but that's pretty much it.

Christmas was pretty great. Eric and I got to spend our first Christmas Season together and we enjoyed every minute. As usual, we spoiled eachother and lived up the moment. Future holidays will be more subtle (at least we say that). All the Castletons were in town--minus Melissa in Poland-- and it was great to have everybody around. Especially since we got to hang out every night in a row for over a week. We were loving it.

We spent new years at a Jazz game with Ryan and Linds, then passed the rest of the night with my family. All sorts of crazy games that night-- especially the ping-pong blowing game. Dave LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVES that game!!

After the start of the new year, Eric and his family started a weight-loss bet. Its the best thing ever as they were all getting a bit tubby. After 2.5 months, Matt and Eric seem to be the only ones trying and they are doing great. The bet ends on the last day of April and it looks like it might be a close race. But the two of them look a lot better--even though Eric is the skinniest!! OF COURSE Eric will win! Before and after pictures to be posted AFTER its all over. As you can see to the right, it's not Eric's healthiest moment. :)

My school is going great! I LOVE MY KIDS!! I think they are the cutest class I have had so far. They get cuter every year, so maybe it just never stops getting better!

Easter was fun-- another first for us. I had prepared a Easter Egg Hunt for us and we had a lot of fun. I had glow-in-the-dark eggs filled with a little candies and Eric was a great little hunter!

Eric and I are looking forward to our first anniversary next month. We are going to CANCUN!!!

We seriously can't wait to go sit on a beach just like this one and just rest. Mexican's serving us and just sitting. Getting tan, and sitting. Work has been so busy for the both of us and we can't wait for our little getaway. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

That's it for now... I'm tired. We'll catch up more later!
