In Honor of the 2010 Census

I came to appreciate the census when I took my family history class at BYU. It was really cool because I got to look back at previous censuses and find out information about my own family. I think it is a neat thing that we all get to fill one out no matter who you are, how much money you make or where you come from. So, in honor of the census (it only comes once every 10 years) here's a little high quality entertainment from SNL:

Sunny (?) California

For Spring Break I was able to escape for a few days to visit my mom and sister out in San Diego. Pacific Beach to be more specific. Unfortunately, good ol Californ-i-a was not living up to its sunny reputation, so we didn't get a chance to go to the beach while I was there. Still, we did get out to eat Greek, Italian, Vietnamese, Mexican food, and delicious frozen yogurt while I was there. Not too shabby. Chesney shared some especially choice stories about her students' adventures in testing (spelling tests, math tests, and writing about chili dogs-all in a days work for this lady) and it was fun to laugh and trade stories about our crazy school system. My mom and I also went and saw Alice in Wonderland, which I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an entertaining flick. Overall it was a great trip and a fun chance to get away! Thank you to my familia and to Dean for taking care of Henry et al. while I was gone!
