Good Luck on the Bar!

GOOD LUCK TO SUNNY ON THE BAR EXAM. The exam runs 25-27 July, 2006 in Pasadena, California.

a weekend together in Cali

We spent this past weekend together in California. Jonathan arrived in LAX on Thursday night. Friday he was with this parents and sister in Dineyland, and then on Saturday we were together at the Sunrider convention general meeting and gala evening. Here are some pictures!

le separation fait que le coeur etre forte

Yeah, like Jonathan even knows French... we are still apart! This is a record for us-a record that we are not too happy about. This whole separation thing is quite difficult for both of us. But luckily we can count the days until we are united on only one hand! Sunny is going to leave Utah and go to L.A. on Monday, 17 July, and Jonathan will join her there by flying to LAX on 20 July We will enjoy each other's company at the Sunrider Convention in Anaheim, etc.

Jonathan had the opportunity of helping almost 200 people from China get to know more about the LDS Church through visiting the LDS temple and beautiful vistors' center in Kensington, Maryland. It was very fun experience.
Anyway, life is good and we hope that we can hear from you all!

Life Apart

Well, Jonathan's been having a great time in Washington, D.C. working at Senator Reid's office. He gets to eat lunch at the Capitol building with the other interns and go to the U.S. Supreme Court or monuments or events whenever he wants. He's had the blessing of staying at our friend Raph's place in D.C. with his dad, and he loves it there.
Sunny's life is a little more staid as she goes to her bar review course every day and does practice exams. The key word is study! Only 16 more days until the bar! A bit scary and a lot more memorizing to do.
We've both been trying to work out and get our stress out, but the thing we look forward to most is seeing each other in less than 2 weeks! Actually, we're really, really excited about getting married in a little more than 4 months. YAY!
We hope everyone's doing well, and keep in touch on our blog!

apart for a small time

We are miles apart.. JB in Washington, DC. Sunny remains in Utah until 17 July. We will meet up in California on 20 July. Then Sunny will be in DC for 5 days after that.
Jonathan misses Sunny!!

A morning with President Hinckley

Sunny took the practice bar exam today, but made it to the luncheon. The groundbreaking ceremony was wonderful. here are some pictures from today's events. Very amazing and wunderbar!! Please note that Sunny's mother is next to President Hinckley participating in the breaking of the ground and got to keep the shovel!

World Cup fever... a febre da Copa

We watched the Brazil-Croatia game, as well as several others. Jonathan supported his team with a flag... hw hung the flag out of the car driving down 900 & 700 East streets in Provo! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!

Sunny studying

This is all she does! It will pay off... the big test is 25-27 July in Pasadena, California.

Jonathan back into politics

Jonathan has been drawn into yet another political campaign season. Instead of being a campaign manager (due to the LSAT and school in the fall)this year, he is doing research and general support for Christian Burridge and Pete Ashdown, both running as underdogs in heavily GOP areas.

Happy Birthday to both of us last week!

Alycia Beutler in Chile

We just got some pictures from Jonathan's sister, Alycia, who is living in Chile. She is loving her experience in the beautiful coastal town of Vinya del Mar. Here is one photograph she sent this week.

Interesting film...

There is a film called "Loose Change" that proposes some very astonishing and different information about the terrorism of 11 September, 2001. You can see it free online at:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8260059923762628848&q=loose+change+911

Let us know what you think. You really should consider watching it, if you have a few minutes. We watched it last night and were shocked and it made for some interesting discussion afterwards.

Enjoy!

Peace,
Jonathan & Sunny

Wonderful Life

We are loving life here in Provo... all Sunny does is study for the California bar exam. All Jonathan does is study for his literature and religion classes, and for the LSAT which he will take at the end of September. Jonathan is trying to finalize all arrangements his internship in DC.
Jonathan got a haircut today, did laundry, went shopping, read, studied.
We both enjoyed this week's episode of "So You Think You Can Dance" on Fox. It is quite entertaining. We just got back from the BYU Creamery, where we both enjoyed kiddie cones. They have excellent chocolate flavors!
Good night! We are back to the books now! Buh-bye!

Café Madrid in the S.L.C.

It was Jonathan's birthday on Saturday, 03 June. Sunny took JB to his favorite restaurant in Utah: the exclusive Café Madrid! We had wonderful tapas, paella, Manchego cheese, etc.

Following the dinner, we had a birthday party in the mosquito-infested orchard at 5419 on the West Side. Good times. Most of the invited did not show up, but we had a good time nonetheless. Thanks to all who came and contributed.

Love,
JMB and SCC

MEMORIAL DAY

Jonathan took Sunny to West Valley for Memorial Day. We were both disappointed that the big Memorial Day service at the cemetery has become quite lame. There was no 21-gun salute. There was no award show. There were no speeches from the mayor and other dignitaries. Then we went to get great West Valley cuisine at the Winder Dairy. No all you can eat french toast! What disappointments. Oh well. This afternoon we are going to 3 cemeteries to put flower arrangements on graves. If you are looking for a grave of a loved one, search on www.findagrave.com

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

2006 will be busy and crazy!
