Whoa Nelly!

Jeremy had surgery this morning and we are happy to report that all went well.

However, I wonder how much the plastic surgeon will charge us for the Nelly Look-alike procedure. At least I have the chance to know what it feels like to be on the arm of a rap star... "It's getting hot in here".

Tim McGraw

I still remember the first time I heard this song. We were driving to Utah and I couldn't believe it when the DJ announced that this song was written and performed by a 16 year old. I was in shock! It was so good.

From the first time I heard this song I was hooked. I even tried to get a ringtone for my phone but Cingular only has the polyphonic one- too lame for me. So I'll just enjoy it on my blog, hope you do too.

Snowboarding

Saturday Jeremy and I headed over to Bluewood for a day of snowboarding. It was a rough start. First, we forgot our 2 for 1 ticket, and had to go back to the house to get it. Since we both forgot to charge our cell phones and don't have car chargers we headed to the store to pick one up. Jeremy forgot his keys so we had to turn around on the freeway to go home and pick them up. Then once we got to the store Jeremy accidentally set off the alarm and didn't have the code to turn it off. So after sitting there for about 10 minutes with the alarm blaring finally someone called back with the right code. And of course they didn't have chargers for either of our phones.

Then we were off, after a stop at Sunmart for a drink.

Once we got to Bluewood and started changing I asked Jeremy where my socks were.

"I didn't bring socks for you."

The night before I told him I didn't have socks and he said he had some for me- I assumed he would pack them. NOPE. And I didn't have a hat either. So lucky for us the lodge was having a buy 3 things and get 40% off sale. So after searching for a hat, finding some socks and a new stomp pad (I know I had one the last time we rode) we paid for everything and finished getting dressed.

Jeremy wasn't sure I was ready to go to the top after missing all last season and only going once the year before, so we took the tow rope up the bunny hill. I almost fell, but held on! After negotiating down the hill OK, we headed for the lift.

All in all it was a slow start but the day was so fun. Very windy, and it snowed all day but there was quite a bit of powder and not too much ice- which is important when you are falling as often as I am.

I'm getting better. Not once did I fall getting off the lift, and I usually could make it down the run only falling 3 or 4 times. I even slowly eased my way down a few hills with caution signs. I am still so sore and I can't really move my neck even after two days of recovery. But I can't wait to go again!! Anyone want join us??

White Trash 'Stache

These pictures have been hanging around in our computer for quite a while. A while back Jeremy grew a goatee and then thought it would be funny to shave it just leaving this.

It only lasted a few mintues after a hearty laugh from me and the girls at work, whom he emailed this pictures to. Breanne, my SIL, just posted about Warren (her husband) growing a mustache since its allowed at BYU-I. She shares my sentiments about this dispicable form of facial hair... YUCK.

I wanna go

In my 26 years (I know, I'm a baby) I haven't traveled much. The road to Utah has been well traveled in my life, but other than that not much. As kids our family took a trip to Mexico, by RV, and that was a huge ordeal. We went to DisneyWorld once, and DisneyLand more times than I can count and occasionally saw my grandparents in Seattle. But other than that I really haven't travelled. So in a tribute to my travel challenged life here are the places I wouldn't mind seeing:


1. Italy- #1 always and forever will be Italy. I took too many humanities classes in college to ever pass up a chance going there.


2. EAST- no not the Far East, I'm talking about the good old Eastern US. I have never been past Texas except for two plane trips to Florida.


3. South America- Seriously I could go anywhere here, I just want to see some ruins. Bek are you ready to take our Book Of Mormon Cruise??


4. Paris- no explaining here... every girls wants a chance to go to Paris.


5. Ireland/Scotland- its my roots, and c'mon who doesn't want to see all the lush green, crazy plaid and amazing castles.


Honestly this list could include EVERY country in the world because I don't think there is any place I would say I don't want to go (safety not being an issue). This world has some great things to offer and I hope I get a chance to see more of it in my lifetime.

No news is good news

Right?

Except when you are trying to update a blog- then it makes for one boring post. Nothing memorable is going down this Presidents Day, unless you count Costco and the trip to Maggie Moos.

Talk about falling off the good eating wagon- today was definitely a HOLIDAY.

That Makes My Day...

I love checking my comments! I'll freely admit that I probably put too much stock in them. After all, this blog is for me- not to feel validated by others' approval- but I do love the comments.

That being said, I think it is the BEST treat when someone you don't know comments on your blog! Don't get me wrong I love when my friends comment. And, truth be told, we all know if they didn't I would see a big O next to my comments day after day. But there is something satisfying about knowing that maybe you do have something worthwhile to say and people
are reading out of enjoyment rather than obligation.

So thanks Khatch, my Friday is offically good because you posted! Anyone else out there wanting to send a little love- comment away!





*I was trying to find a cheesy grin picture for the post and come to find out there are practically no pictures of me.... so just consider this dorky enough. I think it qualifies!
