Finnish Reggae





On a trip to Jamaica I discovered I really like reggae music. But, Finnish Reggae? Who imagined? Apparently the Finnish music has similar rhythms to Reggae and so musician Darrell Syria has combined the two for his band Conga Se Menne. He is 100% Finnish and spends many of his evenings touring with his band. In the daytime he drives a bus in order to get insurance and other benefits. His wife is a member of our church and went on the temple trip with us. As a result, we discovered some great music and went to a free concert in a nearby town -- one of many he was giving that week. Unfortunately it was moved into the community center from the park due to rain. As you can see, Jackie dressed up in her concert attire (outfit given to her by Grammy Lamby) and enjoyed the show.

My wedding cake

My wedding cake
My sister, Christie, made my wedding cake -- all five layers of it. It was fondant, covered in fresh red roses and green ribbon. For a more modern look she chose to make a square cake.

OK, here's the truth, what Renn and I really look like when we wake up. After our first backpacking trip as a couple, Renn's hair looked like grass growing on his head and mine lay flat and matted as we walked out of the mountains.

This is us on our last day at the Hummingbird Inn in Maneadero, Mexico. It was a fun week of service with Engineers Without Borders. Renn and other USU engineering students helped put in drain fields at an orphanage, The Gabriel House, for children with severe disabilities. I helped dig some holes and wrote an article for the newspaper about the experience.
