Returning from tour

May 31, 2014 by Sue Leave a Comment

I know, I know.  You’re thinking, “That happened, like, 10 days ago!”  Well, yeah.  Your point?

Once upon a time, things happened in my life, I took pictures, and then I blogged about them.  Like right after the event.  But life happens, ya know?  So now that I’m on vacation I have some time with internet access and I can catch up.  Then I’ll blog about vacation.  Maybe only a few days after it happens.  Progress, right?  But I digress.

Our sons went to Southeast Asia on tour with the BYU Young Ambassadors!! Did you see the pictures?  Hint: check the archives.  Anyway, all good things must come to an end.  Sadly, this is a life lesson we all must learn.  So they came home and just like the two previous years when Mark went on tour, we went to the airport to meet them and bring them home.  They didn’t get much sleep on the planes and were both groggy with bloodshot eyes, but felt good about a successful tour.  It was a once in a lifetime trip and something they will always remember.  We are so grateful for the opportunities they have had at BYU to learn and grow and use their talents.

Barn project-block #3

May 29, 2014 by Sue Leave a Comment

We did the third block about three weeks ago and I forgot to post!

This is the Peas and Carrots block for our barn project.  It came out so cute!  We used the same green fabric because it was so perfect and then went with our own stash bright orange fabrics.  Once again, the small little triangles made the block bulky with all those seams, but it sure is darling and got us in the mood to grow some vegetables.

We returned to more all-over prints for the red barns and were both much more happy with the result.  We were uber careful with pressing but no matter how straight our barns are, adding that white sashing makes us lean.  Hmmm.  Photos are not as forgiving as the human eye and when it’s all together, maybe nobody will notice??

Final SE Asia post

May 23, 2014 by Sue Leave a Comment

Mark & Brian returned from their BYU Young Ambassadors tour this week, so here are some final shots from Cambodia and Vietnam.

We made it to Cambodia. We had a amazing time visiting #angkorwat and then got caught in a thunderstorm! #angkorwatselfie #seyasiatour #byuya

#seyasiatour #byuya Day 16. In the morning visited tunnels that the Vienamese dug and used during the war. In the afternoon went on a boat to an island. This picture is of our canoe ride back to the boat. It was like DisneyWorld Jungle Cruise except real.

Vietnam! Just on a boat ride in the Mekong delta, staying in Saigon. (Don’t worry I’ve been singing it ALL day) #mdtprobs #seyasiatour #thelife #isthisreal#whoknows

#seyasiatour #byuya Day 17. Halong Bay, Vietnam. Sooo amazing.

#seyasiatour #byuya Day 20. Finally got pho in Vietnam. Also saw the preserved body of Ho Chi Minh, first president of communist Vietnam. Flew to Bangkok. Fly home tomorrow

Well, this officially marks the end of my time performing with the BYU Young Ambassadors. I am so grateful that I was given this amazing opportunity and for all the lessons I’ve learned and friends I’ve made. Can’t wait for more exciting experiences in the future!! Life goal: completed. #seyasiatour #byuya

#seyasiatour #byuya Day 21. After flying for like 24 hours we are finally back in Utah. So grateful for my three years in the@byuyoungambassadors and the three tours I went on. Love the YAs and learned a lot.

Mark & Brian in Thailand

May 3, 2014 by Sue Leave a Comment

Mark & Brian were roommates yesterday so when they woke up, we did a FaceTime with them before they got ready.  It was evening for us because they are 13 hours ahead.  It was the best sight in the world to see their two faces together half-way around the world, talking to us on my phone.  I love technology!

What follows are some selected Instagram photos that I have embedded along with their captions.  They are having a great time!

 

Going to Thailand y’all. So excited!!

Day #1. Ready to fly to Tokyo. Then to Bangkok.

Day #2 #seyasiatour #byuya. Today was our first show of tour. It was a benefit concert organized by the Royal Princess of Thailand for a children’s hospital. Super hot in the theater when the tech crew was setting up. Picture of some doors in the theater. And picture of Eric Hansen our band director getting flowers from the Princess.

Amazing day at the grand palace in Bangkok, Thailand. We have had a great few days performing for the Princess of Thailand and visiting a hospital and singing for kids. So, so amazing. 🙂 #byuya #seyasiatour

#seyasiatour #byuyas Day 3. Went to the Grand Palace and several wats and the giant Reclining Buddha. Lunch provided at a children’s hospital and performed several song for them. Dinner by the Rotary Club and karaoke.

Day 4. Went to the floating markets in the morning were they took us on boat to vendors. Set up for a show in the afternoon and performed at night.

The whole group outside the Royal Palace!
