Pioneer Crossing

Well, construction will FINALLY begin on an East-West road out of West Lehi from Saratoga Springs to the American Fork Main Street exit at I-15. They are calling it Pioneer Crossing. I guess they had a contest for the naming of the road where children from Snow Springs Elementary (which is right around the corner from us) submitted possible names. Some committee chose the name from those submitted by the children.

Anyway! the road will be at 1000 South which is a few blocks away from our home. The construction is starting now and will go for two years. However, most of the road should be completed and usable by this time next year. The bridge over the railroad tracks and the new overpass at American Fork Main Street and I-15 is what will take the additional year. Here is a map that shows where the road will be exactly.

And here is a picture of what the new overpass will look like.


You can go to the Pioneer Crossing website for the latest news on the progress.

Halloween - Ryan and Sharpay

This year for Halloween Dianna and I were Ryan and Sharpay Evans, from High School Musical. You might think it's not that special, or scary (well, that's debatable), or Field-like. However, we didn't just dress up like them, we actually learned the song and dance to "What I've Been Looking For" and performed the routine. I even bleached my hair blonde to make it more authentic ;-)

Ok! My Uncle took this video with his still camera. It at least captures the "magic" of it. We'll probably do this again and get another video of it but for now...
