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.

Paid In Full

We are now the proud owners of not one, but two cars PAID IN FULL! That's right, we paid off our second car this month. Now let's just hope they keep working!

Christmas Enrichment 2009

We had our Christmas Enrichment this week. People signed up to decorate the tables. Mine is the center one in this collage. Others signed up to bring food. One person even brought yorkshire pudding! It was awesome.
We talked at our tables about traditions and wrote our favorite tradition on a strip of paper which is going to make a paper-chain that will be hung in our Relief Society room until Christmas as a reminder of the welding links that traditions make in our lives. I thought they did a great job considering they really have no budget.
At the end we were given a gift. We were asked to make it the last gift that is opened on Christmas. They wanted us to think about it and wrap it up again next year and do the same thing. So what did I do...opened it up that night when Rick and Steve were home! It was a Jesus Trading Card which a scripture covering up the contact information. The scripture was from John about Heavenly Father so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son. It was nice but I am so glad I didn't wait until Christmas to open it.

Oh Yeah

My stalk skills have reached a new level. Maybe I should quit my day job.

So Very....

Draper
Ok we all know that Daybreak is synonymous with Stepford but did you know that Draper is synonymous with stuck up? Ok not everyone in Draper is stuck up...I know I am but I am sure there are some who aren't.
I was at a ward recipe exchange tonight. We were chatting away and Winco was brought up. So one lady talks about how much she LOVES it. I state that it isn't worth driving 9.5 miles for me. Someone asks where they are and I state where they are located. The same lady says, don't go to the one on 5600 west, that's in Magna. I said, no it isn't it is West Valley. She says, it might as well be Magna.
I was actually shocked at her judgmentalness. Seriously, she is all over Winco, which is like Food 4 Less but a touch better and as for her calling in the ward...yeah she should keep her mouth shut.

Then there was the one who knew everything about everything. I wanted to say...Shut your pie hole please.

Yeah maybe I shouldn't go to these ward activities. It just guarantees my spot in hell rather than helping me out of it.

Huge Tracts of Land

Look what my naughty cousin sent me! What type of education are they giving them at BYU now?

Stalker

No I don't have a stalker, I am one. I think the first step in recovery is admitting that one has a problem.
Yes, I have a problem and it is stalking people.

It is SO much fun!

My favorite to stalk...guys I dated and we know that is a never ending datebase from which I am able to draw. This is sometimes easy and sometimes difficult. Difficult you may ask...yeah cause I don't remember their names. They just pop into my head randomly. I am always so happy when they are not private on FaceBook so I can check out how they look, usually how much weight they have gained and how their faces are aging. Yeah, I know I have gained weight too BUT I know I am not aging in my face as much as most of them are.
I like seeing that they are happy and married and think...man how did they get some girl to marry them. She must be a sucker!

Yeah...I have issues but I sure am able to entertain myself.

Setting the record straight

I can't put this on facebook but I would like to set the record straight...I think Jimmie Johnson and Chad Knaus are douchebags.
