Utah Trip

So I have had a great time on my little vacation to Utah but I am very excited to start my trip to the other side of the country. I have been planning this for about a year now. While in Utah I have been able to get my hair done (which it needed desperately), eat at one of my favorite resturants here in Utah (Cafe Rio), Spent the day with my family, and went and hung out with Mindi for a little bit. I am always excited to go to Utah and see everyone.
Today I also took Ella into the daycare that is going to be watching her on Friday. It is a nice little place with tons of fun things for them to do. She even cried when we had to leave. I was very worried aobut her going to daycare because she has never been to one before. But now that we have gone I am positive that she is going to have so much fun there. Well I am heading out to Georgia tomorrow. Hopefully there won't be anymore tornados (they have had 11 friday and saturday) Wish me luck.

The start of my long fun vacation with my friends all by myself

I am so excited to be going on a trip to go and see 3 of my friends on the other side of the country I can hardly contain myself. But who knew that the very first day of freedon (almost freedom Ella is going to be in Utah and with help from many family members she will be staying in Utah until Nate gets here to pick her up) I would almost get into a very horrible car accident (we didnt actually get in the car accident but I can only imagine how horrible it could of been) It all started this week see my sister came on Tuesday to hang out with me for a bit in Idaho and then take me back to Utah with her. With my anniversary being on friday I asked if we could leave on Saturday morning. She agreed. We got up this morning at 4:30 so we could leave by 5 o'clock. (I needed to be in Springville for my hair apt. at 11:45 that morning so we had to leave while it was still very dark outside) It had rained/snowed almost the whole time we were on the road and for about an hour of the drive it was so foggy. But the roads werent bad and the sun was starting to come up. Anyway we are driving along on the freeway when I look off to the right and there was this car that had been in a car accident with this blockade on the side of the road and I thought what the heck happened there then about 50 feet down the raod there was a truck that was pulling a boat pulled off the side of the road. And we thought that it was odd to so Joy started slowing down. Then it happened. I am sure it only took a matter of seconds but it seemed like minutes to me. All of the sudden Joy started saying I cant stop I cant stop as we start sliding across the road. We look up ahead of us and there is a diesel truck that had slid off the road into the median. And we start heading right toward it the car is starting to spin. Joy thought that she was going to crash into it on her side. we passed it by the skin of our teeth. At this point we are headed back to the right side of the road. I look up and notice that we are about 300 feet away from a pair of diesels that have crashed into each other that are in the median. Then things take a change we are spinning around in circles not only that we are weaving back and forth across the road. I look up and we are facing the wrong way and a car is heading right towards us. Joy says to me I am so sorry. And I said to her its okay its not your fault. Luckily the car heading towards us barely missed us and we spin facing front agian for about the 4th time. At this point my every muscle in my body is bracing for impact and I am waiting to hear the crunching of the metal and the jarring of being hit. I am imagining to myself us stuck under the diesel truck. And in my mind I thought to myself Please Heavenly Father Please Heavenly Father. Then we came to a sudden stop. It was wierd. We were going so fast and stopped so abruptly. When we stopped one of the guys that was in one of the diesel trucks signals for to stay where we are as yet another car go skidding past us out of control. I immediatly said thank you Heavenly Father. Joys first reaction was to drop the F bomb and Ella who is oblivios to the whole thing looks up from Spiderman and says did we just go slidding everywhere? We saw no less the 25 car accidents from the start of our little fiasco to Ogden about an hour away. It was crazy. We were blessed.

My anniversary

Yesturday was Mine and Nates 11th anniversary. I can't believe that it has been that long already. It doesnt seem like that long ago. We had a great day. We ran a whole bunch of errands (sounds fun right) and then we went out to dinner while my very nice and favorite sister watched the kids for us. Thank you Joy!!! Nate got me some roses. He tried to sneak them into the house after he got off of work at midnight but since I have a hard time sleeping while he is not there it didnt work. I was upstairs waiting for him when he got home. They were beautiful flowers and they smell so good. And I got him what else stuff to start his garden. But he liked it and it really suprised him because he didnt think that I was going to get him anything. I had a great day with him. Love you babe!!!! Happy Anniversary!!!!

Nates birthday and all he got was a whole bunch of CRAP!!

Well 20 bags of steer manure anyway. I asked Nate what he wanted for his birthday and all he could think of was this manure. It should go really well in our (by our I mean Nates) garden. After all it is one of Nate's favorite things to do. And I sure enjoy the rewards of his labor from it.I love you babe!!! I can't believe that you are so old. Man 29 is like ancient. Hope 30 is better for you. My best friend, my rock, the love of my life, my husband!

Meet the Cullen's

I realize that most people don't care about this but I just thought that you would like to meet the Cullen Family as posted on Stephenie Meyers blog. What do you think? Do they fit the characters well? I am still up in the air about it but I think that they did match Edward pretty good. I know that the movie will not be as good as the books but I still want to see it and I can't wait until the new ones comes out. Hurry up August.

What a bad wife I am

Okay I am going to paint you a picture think of the movie Hitch. got it okay now think of the part where will smith has an allergic reaction to something and his face and lips get all big. Now think of Nate. Yep Nate ate something that caused him to have a severe allergic reation. I can't even describe how funny this was to me atleast the first time this happened about 3 weeks ago. He came home from a meeting Sunday evening and came upthe stairs covering his mouth. I asked him what was wrong and when he said that his lips were all swolen I made him move his hand. This is the part that I turn into a very bad wife. when he removed his hands and he had the most giant lips I have ever seen (this is not an exageration when he made a kissy face his lips were as big as the palm of my hand) and try as I might I just couldn't stop laughing at him. I laughed even when I couldn't see his lips anymore and sometimes just the thought of it still seems to make me chuckle. I did feel really bad but for some reason I just couldn't stop laughing at him. Anyway jumping to yesturday it all happened again except this time I did not laugh. I didn't but all of the nursing staff at the ER did. I took Nate into the ER and every single nurse found some excuse to come into the room to see him. I do not know how they kept a straight face. I asked Nate if it made him mad that they all had to come and look at the big lipped man. but he was a good sport and just said that he would want to see it to. I wish that I would of been able to take a picture but Nate wouldn't let me. I wish all of you would one day be able to see a person with swollen lips and I wonder how long it takes you to laugh at it too.

ugh laundry the bain of my existance

If I could have a maid do one thing for me every week it would be my darn laundry. I am so fed up with laundry. I do so many loads a week and I can never keep up with it. I do no less then 10 loads of laundry a week. I do atleast 3 loads of towels, 2 loads of red, 1 load of whites, atleast 2 loads of blue, and 2 loads of jeans. I start Monday and I swear it never stops. My stupid dryer takes about 2 hours to dry the towels so essentially the towels take ALL day long. Sorry for the vent. Just out of curiosity what is the your bain of exhistance?

I thought that this was hilarious

I can't believe this I didn't cheat. I didn't even know that Dr.Pepper was an option but it made me laugh to find out I was one. Too bad it's not diet.

You Are Dr. Pepper

You're very unique and funky, yet you still have a bit of traditionalism to you. People who like you think they have great taste... and they usually do. Your best soda match: Root Beer Stay away from: 7 Up

What Kind of Soda Are You?

Good Advice

I thought that this was so true. Thank you Carolyn for passing this on to me.

Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.

Rule 1 : Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2 : The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6 : If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7 : Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8 : Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9 : Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10 : Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11 : Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

This is a well made tribute to President Hinckley. I really enjoyed watching this. Check it out.
