The Hole

We received a call on Wednesday this week that we are on the excavator's list to dig our hole next week. We will head out next weekend for photos!

Nell Family Christmas

 

Hanging out with our Nell Family on Christmas Day

Christmas Morning

Christmas Eve

Private

OK this is really fast but why I have to stay private - It is because I royally pissed off Stephen's aunt last week. The funny thing is, this time I didn't mean to do it. Other times, yes. She sent a seriously nasty gram email to us on Christmas eve but fortunately, Rick doesn't check his email so we didn't get it until last night. Anyway, I don't think she is a stalker, she isn't that smart, BUT I can't risk it so I have to keep my blog private. Sorry for the added step. I really do blog regularly though so check back!

Extenuating Circumstancs

Due to extenuating circumstances, I have to stay private

Blog Links

Yes, I am no longer private. I had a friend who wanted to see my stuff and couldn't remember their log on so I am public again. I have a request, that if you link to my blog, that you ask my permission first, especially if you are private.
As for my photography and genealogy blogs, Link Away!
Thanks

When I Get Old...

... I am going to put up Christmas light just like my in-laws!

I believe they use the "Plug in. Sting to destination. Stop. Toss. Walk away" method.

Lunch with The Birds

I am always amazed at how many birds show up at my lunch location. I finally was fast enough to grab a few photos of them. I enjoy them as long as they aren't crapping on my car!

In N Out Utah Style

For our anniversary we finally sat in line for In N Out shakes at our Draper location. My shake was MORE than worth it! (I think we were in line for 16 minutes.)

SOLD!

We decided to drive out and look at our lot on Sunday. Actually we wanted to check out the weather since it was so foggy and gross in the Salt Lake Valley.

I clicked a few photos from inside the car on the way.
As we drove up, we were excited to see a new addition to the lot ...

Facebook

I have said it once.

I have said it twice.

I LOVE Facebook!

Happy 3rd Anniversary

Yesterday, December 14th, was Rick's and my 3rd anniversary. Since we are building a home we decided to not spend much money. We went out to dinner on Saturday night and lunch on Monday. For lunch, we went to Chili's where we had our very first lunch date. We even sat in the same booth and I think we probably even ordered the same things.Yes - We are sitting on the Ox at Temple Square

Rick brought me some balloons and a mini rose bush. I have this now at work and it is my goal to keep it alive until our home is done so I can plant it on our garden.
Rick and I have an incredible relationship. I am so grateful for him and our 3 years of being married.

Winter Driving

5 years ago I bought my second Subaru. I am sure glad I own it.

This was my commute in this morning. It took me an hour and 45 minutes to drive 19 miles.

This was my lunch break.

I am not looking forward to my drive home.

You Tube

Did you know that I have a youtube channel? That's right I do with several videos on there. I recently learned a super easy way to upload without having to convert so we are in trouble now.
Check it out and comment on my awesome videos.

Thanksgiving 2009

A friend/family member mentioned today that she was "back-blogged" on her blog today. It made me giggle and realize, I have the SAME issue. I am going to try and catch up over the next few days.

Thanksgiving 2009 - It was fun!
We played tennis in the morning. We drove around with our balls (hehehe) and rackets in the front seat so they could feel the heat on them to warm them up. I made it through and entire basket and Rick only half when a string broke. My racket has been restrung twice since we bought it about 3 years ago but Rick's hadn't so I guess it was only time.
We went to Rick's sisters for a feast with lots of family. I always get teased that I am like an Asian with my camera taking photos of everyone and everything so this year i only took a few key photos.
We were home fairly early and just hung out the rest of the evening. I had a 5 day weekend and Rick had a 4 day one (he had to work on Sunday.) It was a very nice Thanksgiving.
