Countdown

We will be leaving for Oregon in 8 days--and it couldn't get here any faster! I am so ready for a vacation and to see everybody! I was talking to Dad today and he was saying how Mom was making him put up lights and how he had to go and get the tree today too. (he always acts like it is such a surprise that those things have to happen) It is so different here in Utah--people put up their decorations up like the day after Halloween. (lame) It makes it still feel like home knowing that Mom and Dad haven't changed and that they are hurrying to get the decorating done for when we all come home. We are excited and hope that everyone else is too!

Happy Birthday Dad

I have been trying to better about recognizing birthdays, but I always remember too late, but I wanted Dad's to be the first one that I tried to get up on time...and again I am late. So, Happy Birthday Dad (on Friday) he is busy partying in Cali! I thought this picture suited him because he loves SF and he loves Ghiradelli. Hope you had a great birthday and we are excited to see you soon.

I'm Hooked

Against my better judgment I started watching Friday Night Lights. I didn't need another show to get hooked on, but I kept hearing from Michele and Emily how awesome it was. Well, yesterday when I got home from work I started watching it while Jandon was studying...7 episodes later I finally fell asleep. I am crazy, but it is really good! Thanks guys for making me want to watch it!

Far Out

Lately at work it has been so great, because I have been able to listen to John Denver all the time. My office is located in the behavioral unit (add comment here) and one of the residents likes to blare his music--well his cd of choice lately has been a John Denver album. It has Wild Montana Skies on it and he will play it for me whenever I want. It is great. Sorry again Michele for not inviting you to the concert that summer--it really was the best concert ever!

Memories

I had a funny talk with Mom tonight (I think Emily might be the only one to remember this) as we were remembering when she read us this book. I was so freaked out afterwards--it was so funny. Mom wanted it to be this special thing we did together and Emily and I were traumatized! We had a good laugh. It makes me that more excited to go home soon!

Thanksgiving

I know I have been terrible at blogging. I will do better, but probably after the holidays! Thanksgiving was very good! I really think that we need to have more days in the year that is centered around such good food and pies! Jason ended up making my Thanksgiving complete, because he made a chocolate pie and decided to share it with me. I am sorry, but it will never truly be a Thanksgiving to me if I don't have a chocolate pie. One of my favorite Thanksgivings was the year that we went to Idaho Falls and Grandma made cornacopias for everyone--I still to this day want to know how she made those!

Busy

I got back from San Fran last week and have been so busy with work since then. I hope to post soon about my trip. I was so excited to go, but I couldn't post about it, because we were surprising Emily, so I didn't want her to find out that way!

Cross Your Fingers

Just letting everyone know that Jandon is taking the LSAT on Saturday. I think he is much more nervous than he is letting on, but I am sure he will do fine. Everybody can think happy thoughts for him, so he can do good! Our future depends on it. (really)

The New Bed

Here is the new bed! Thanks to everyone we have everything brand new. Jandon got me the new bed frame for my birthday. I was bold with the comforter, and I like it! Jandon is not too sure how he feels about the flowers. We both love the sheets, so good pick Michele!! Thanks again Mom and Dad!

Happy Birthday to Me

I had a very good birthday. The best thing about my birthday was the my Mom and Dad got me a new mattress!! Yeah. We are very excited. It was just delivered this morning. It looks comfortable I can tell you that. Michele and Emily got us some new sheets. I don't think there is anything better than new sheets (except for the whole new bed) Jandon and I went to dinner with our friends on my birthday and then we had cake afterwards. It was just a good day all around. Thanks to everyone that called me and remembered that it was my birthday. Almost everyone remembered this year...I guess the countdown on the blog maybe helped!
