dum de dum....

It's been awhile so here are a few random things going on...
Duke and Tucker are now BFFs
Also Duke enjoys sleeping in Tucker's bed... I really think he has no idea how big he is. (ignore the garbage it was Spring Cleaning Day!)
This is Tucker's new buddy Gracie, she's my parents puppy and they love to play together.



We're planning on selling our house in few months so we've decided it's time to finish up our projects around the house and every time I say I'm going to take before and after pictures... I always forget. Here's a semi before picture, it will probably be awhile before we have the after, but I'm excited to get it done! .... Yeah I went through a purple phase... doesn't everyone?
I'm selling this....

25 years ago... 80s flashback

I've been thinking lately... aren't you supposed to be old, or grown up, or mature or something by 25?! That seemed so old when I was younger, but now I look around and realize no one ever grows up. I definitely have not. Well my birthday was a week or so ago, so Mike indulged me and let me celebrate all weekend (I add the rest of the week to the celebration on my own) so we spent Saturday looking for a very particular pair of boots that existed in my head. So one Cafe Rio salad and eight or so stores later we finally found them! Then we met up with all our friends, and went to eat at Macaroni Grill, where I was pleased to learn they served the most delicious mojitos. After that we waited for almost two hours to go bowling... and my high for the night? 77. Yeah it's pretty pathetic I guess the 'birthday gods' weren't shining down on me that night... you'd think I would've been able to at least break 100, but no. The next day we celebrated with my family and played cards. Thanks to all my friends for helping me celebrate! Now here's a photo montage of my birthday and some old ones too.




































































































2009


































After being serenaded by my Italian boyfriend I felt the urge to pose like this... so I did.
































































Note to self: Do not wear skinny jeans when going bowling, they look comical with the shoes.























































So attractive.





















These are my new boots, and although they were last pair of 9's in the city, they are slightly too small and squeeze my toes together... oh well fashion before comfort...right?














These are my puppies.

january cap off

So it's been a busy month! School started again, we had family come and visit, I became addicted to Rock Band and wii, you know all important stuff. Plus we added a new little guy to ou house, and he's been terrorizing it ever since! We did FINALLY name him, Tucker, and he's sooo cute I can't believe it. So going backwards through the month, my friend Jamie and I drove on a whim to Yerington, a little ol' town in Nevada about 8 hours away with about an hours notice on a Sunday. It was spur of the moment to say the least, but it was fun to have company and we just chatted the whole way there and back!










This is a mine in the even littler town of Weed Heights, the name says it all. Anyhow the mine was shut down 30 or 40 years ago, and it just keeps filling up with crystal blue water, they estimate it to be about 600 feet deep.... I think that was it, Jamie correct me if I'm wrong:)


This is my new little man... he's just so cute.










Mike would not be so happy if he knew this photo was on here, but here he is with the new puppy, squinty eyes and all (that's that part he dislikes) but I think he's cute cute regardless.























This is Danielle entering into a contract for 'services' with Justin, he's looks very intrigued.
We had a site visit in Springdale, UT which right at the mouth of Zion Canyon, this is the whole crew.
Jack was baptized too, although it was quite an exhausting experience for him, he barely made it through the ten minutes awake.





As I mentioned before we had our family come visit for a few days from California, we snowboarded, ate lots of food, and played wii and Rock Band. It was fun. Now it's our turn to go visit them!

































































This is our snowboarding crew!
