Maryland

I arrived in Maryland on Sunday around 11:00 and went to see JoLynn and Andrews apartment. I had to have a quick nap ( I stayed up with Lesley until 1:30 and got up at 4:55 in the morning ) later in the evening we went to the Patomac River. It was really pretty and really fast. The rapids were insane They had a sign up that the average number of deaths there was 7 a year and I could understand why. If you fell in that there was no way that you could survive. I wish that you could hear this too it was so loud.

The picture does not do this river justice. White water rapids that are insane.

these are shells that were along the path that had at one time come from the river. they were quite a few feet from the water.

JoLynn and I by the water. It was quite a sight to see. Very pretty. I am glad I got to go on the hike to see the river.

I got married to a hottie while in Georgia.

yep that is me looking longing into my new husbands (Patrick Demsy) eyes. Oh and I lost a lot of weight. He is so good to me. Look at all of my brides maids. I wonder where he is going to take me on my honeymoon? Any suggestions?

The Margret Mitchelle House

While I was in Georgia I visited the Margret Mitchelle house which she called "The Dump" It is where she wrote 90% of Gone with the Wind. It was a very interesting visit and I learned alot of things that I didnt know. She often named her characters after family members. She had 2 cousins that wanted to marry each other that weren't allowed to. The girl cousins name was Melanie. They also think that that is where that part of the story comes in. In real life when they weren't allowed to marry she became a nun and the other cousin ran off and became the infamous Doc. Holiday. I thought that was interesting. She wrote her book after having read all of the fictional books at the library. She wrote the book backwards to forward. She hid her writing from all of her friends and would throw a towel over her desk when her friends came over. But somehow her friends got a hold of it and let a publisher read it. After only reading 3 chapters they decided to publish the book. She hated the fame that came along with it. And although she got an extremely large amount of money from publishing the book she never bought her own house or a car with the money. She never had any kids so the soul heirs to her fortune were her 2 nephews. They to never had any kids. One died last year giving his part of the inheritance to his wife and the other one is still alive. I wonder if they would leave me the money in thier will? the outside of the house. we werent allowed to take pictures of the inside.

this was inside the movie part of the tour. clark gable is kissing me. He is so nice to do that to me.

J.T. got a little friendly with Scarlett.

Lesley, all of her kids, and I outside the door they used in the movie for Tara. And in the back the portrait of Scarlett O'Hara they used in the movie that was in the Library.

Visits with Lesley

I had a great time with Lesley this week. We went to the huge mall, we saw "horton hears a who" (which was super cute) I got to see her new baby and all of her kids which have gotten sooooo big. I already miss hanging around with her. Thank you Lesley for letting me go and hang out with you. Your awesome!!! Ava and I outside the church at the Easter Egg Hunt. Ava is Lesleys 4th little girl.

Lesley and I at gymnatstics on Friday Morning. I think that she is so awesome. What a super mom she is!!!!

Hello Georgia

I made it. I arrived in Georgia last night at 6:50 and I could tell that I had made it back to humidity. I just love the effect that it has on my hair. It just gets puffier and puffier throughout the day. I was so excited to see Lesley that I almost cried. I arrived to her house thinking that I was going to get bombarded by her kids but they were all asleep. I couldnt wait for them to get up so that I could give them all the presents that I got for them. I had a great time visiting with Lesley today. It just seems like old times. Chatting away with Lesley as JT walks by with his shirt off covering his nips and saying I'm not naked my nipples are covered. I couldnt believe just how big her kids are getting. And they are so cute!!!! I am going to be so sad when I have to leave. Well more tomorrow.

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.
