For memories sake
Things that I’ve accomplished in my 28th year
Served as Primary 2nd Counselor and Primary teacher
Got in my first real major accident
Found Phyllo dough and frozen egg noodles in the frozen food section of Wal-Mart. Believe me, this IS an accomplishment! A big one at that!
Traveled to Vegas, San Diego, and camped in the mountains near Bear Lake.
Celebrated A’s 1st b-day and E’s 4th b-day and J’s ma*$)th b-day.
Fulfilled a lifelong dream of teaching as a dance instructor in a studio.
Learned and taught Michael Jackson’s Thriller dance. Yes, from the 80’s. It’s a total classic.
Went down the path with no return and bought our first minivan.
Turned down a Chevy Trailer blazer and a GMC Envoy or something for a minivan. What?! Gas Mileage and space people.
Shoveled probably more snow than I ever have in one year.
Saw snow piles that were nearly as high as a house.
Went to a really cool Star Party at Snowbasin.
Went to my first live taping of a TV show. Twice.
Rode the FrontRunner for the first time.
Took E for her first ever hike.
Got to see our nephew Colter for the first time.
Got my answer published in Real Simple magazine.
Helped a friend start a business called Ace Satellite Systems.
Saw Kent get engaged. Yay.
Had my hair cut shorter than I’ve ever had it. Except when I was a kid and cut my own hair and ended up having to walk around looking like a boy for several months.
Ate at Thaiphoon for the first time. Happy Year!

Guess what?!
Soooooo, I'm getting something for my birthday that's going to fulfill one of my most treasured dreams, I'm gonna fly baby! I'm gonna fly a plane for the first time ever, hopefully not the last time. I'm going to Leading Edge Aviation for a career discovery flight and I actually get to take the plane off and land it if I so choose. Nice! I'm really excited! So, Saturday at 10:30, my fondest dream will soon be fulfilled. YAYA!
Valentines Day 2009
Who's a little late with their posts? Yep. Sorry. We had a great Valentines Day this year. My Valentine made me feel wonderful once again. Look at what he got me.
Tulips are among my favorite types of flowers. It was so refreshing from the normal roses on Valentines. They were beautiful and so big. I loved em.
Here are a few more pictures of what we all got.
Here's Jason's idea of a great Valentines gift for himself. Hey, to each his own right? That's my Jason.
That night, B and D had us all over for a Lethal Luau. Instead of fighting the crowds and or trying to get a babysitter, we had a nice steak dinner at the Wood's home. It was the perfect way to spend the night! We had a really good time and played a murder mystery game. We all had a good time trying to find out "who done it."
After about two hours of eating and acting out this play of sorts, guess who guessed who did it? Me! Guess who got to go home with a cold blooded murderer? Me. That Jason was doing a lot more on Valentines than he should've been doing. :) Fun fun day and night!
And here is a parting Valentines gift for all y'all. Happy V day!

Much Thanks!
This week I've been spoiled a little bit by two of my good friends. On Monday, my cousin Cindy invited me down to view "Good Things Utah" on ABC4 with her because she won a contest and was going to be on the show that day. She entered an email response to one of thier contests and they chose hers and one other contestant's entry to hack away at a piece of a big ice cube. The ice cube had a gift card in it and the first one to get to it would win $250.00 to Downeast Outfitters. They were doing a promo for the new movie "Confessions of a Shopaholic."
It was a fun morning, even though we had to trudge through a ton of snow and early morning traffic to get there. My other cousins came to support her and so did my aunt M. I got to see the show for the 2nd time in person and it was a really fun thing to do. Here's a shot of Cindy after she won 2nd place ($100.00 gift card.)
After the show, they let you come up and chit chat and take pictures with the hosts and this is the shot we got all together.
And...I have to admit, I'm a fan of Reagan's. She's just so darn cute. Extremely nice too!
Not only did I get to go down to GTU that morning but Cindy volunteered to watch my girls to make up for the hours I missed at work. How super nice is that? Thanks Cind! You did great!
Now, onto my other spoiled moment. My good friend Carly took time out of her busy schedule and came allll the way down to my house to snap some photos of me for my work. I admire her abilities to create photo's that look professional and so I begged her to come over and take some for me. The dance studio that I teach for has asked all the teachers to provide head shots and so I thought she could may be do a cheap session for me. She did wonderful and it was great to see her again too! Thanks soooo much Carly. I really appreciate it. Go here to see the photos.
I would appreciate feedback as to which one you like better, the color photo or the black and white photo.
Thanks again to Cindy and Carly! You two are Stupendous!
