Homecoming

I don't really know exactly whose homecoming the week was celebrating. Anyway, we didn't do much for Homecoming week. But there were a few things I haven't done and decided I wanted to do, while I am still a student. First on my list was lighting the Y. That didn't work out on account of a Speech Anatomy test, but I decided it is more important to graduate than light the Y.
Wednesday, I went and played True Blue football. Well, I didn't have a team, so I played in the foam with a friend, but the foam was still quite effective. After several showers, my feet are still blue.




The only other event that was really important for me was the parade. The BYU homecoming parade consists of muscle cars representing some of the main departments on campus and also floats from different clubs or events. But mostly its balloons and candy. Ken took this pictures for a school project dealing with the golden ratio- let us know what you think!

Conference Weekend

Last weekend was absolutely wonderful. Right after classes, Ken and I drove up to SLC to meet up with my sister Annalisa and my dad! We then carpooled to Logan to watch the football game. Despite poor refereeing, we had an excellent time both winning and being together (which is the most important kind of winning after all).

Sorry for putting my head in front of yours, Dad!

I like this picture.

Lisa is amazing!

Dad got his picture taken with the team's bus (also he has a close relationship with Bronco)

Also we were able to attend conference Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon. We had great seats and it was really great to spend that time together. We hung out with the Woodward family (Aunt Geniel and Suzanna pictured)

Next to the conference center

Sunday evening, we all visited with Heinz Steinman, who is my grandmother's cousin. I've never met anyone on the steinman side of the family before, so I learned a lot about them. Heinz told us about Feldheim (or Felpen) Germany where my grandmother's family is from. It was really great to learn about our family.

Kindt Family

(Ken's lovely family and my Brother Joe, marvelous Carrie and sweet Sawyer not pictured)
I just love my family! A few years ago I would've never considered my family to be silly, but this picture just proves me at least a little wrong. I found this picture in a few that Ken shared with me (as all my photograph will never be heard of more, sort of like Hagoth). This picture was taken in California over a year ago. I haven't been home since December and have begun to feel the effects of it.
However the homesickness was remedied in part by this past weekend. My Dad came to Utah for the weekend. We had a great time driving to and from conference, eating together, watching football, and spending time with extended family. It's been wonderful to have some of that good old fashioned Kindt love around. Not that he's old...
