Moving: Oh how I hate thee.

Well, there comes a time in every man’s life when he must pack up all his crap and move. Let’s just say that this sucks. Every one knows what I am talking about here. First you have to box up your stuff. This his were you realize that your mental projections of how much stuff you have was ridiculously short of reality. There are things like bathroom supplies and cleaning stuff and your clothes. Snowboards, electronics, furniture… Then you need a way to move it. In our case, an old purple power stroke that was resurrected after being dead for over two years to just barely make the move and then died again. Then you have to carry all you of your garbage in and out, out and in. Just a note, this is a bad time to fall out of a tree, which I did, and injure your lower back. This makes moving just that much worse. There is more to the story of course. After you move you things into the new apartment, it’s a long ordeal to place them in their respective areas. And then you find that BYU housing is OLD and CRAPPY and only provides one cable outlet by way of internet. Than you have to clean your old apartment. All of this can make life a drag for a few weeks. But hey, at least Now our house has less spiders.
Anyway, I work all the time, I dance on my spare time with Malu. That’s all I got.

28 de Julio= I wore a dress and danced in front of a lot of Peruvians

Here is what we were up to on the 24th of July. Aside from dominating in the morning at volley ball and horse shoes at the Sweat family reunion, we went and danced at two places in Salt Lake. The Peruvian Independence day fell on a Tuesday and that was lame for all of the Peruvian people here so all of the celebrations went down on Pioneer Day. This video has all of our dances, but the first two we danced again at the second place and better. At about seven and a half minutes, you can see me in drag:). Honestly though, the dance is from Cuzco, called Turkuy. This dance has the skirt and such because the Peruvians somehow found out about the Spain/Turk conflicts and decided to implement some of the Turkish dance trappings to tick of the Spanish in Peru. -The enemy of my enemy is my friend- Anyway. Enjoy.
