Helllooooo Out There

Before I go on a rant about how long it's been since I've posted lets all take a moment to honor Molly's hotness. Seriously. If I could chop off her hair and glue it on mine I'd do it in a heartbeat.

All right. Times up.

So the three people who actually read my blog have been pestering me for months...yikes...months to update my blog. I thought I had given up on my blog, I really did. Work is busy. Life is busy. I have things to sew. Our internet is pretty unreliable. I post all my pictures on facebook anyways. I have no energy for creative writing. BUT one thing made me change my mind... (interruption...i just got a text from my husband saying "update your blog" alright already...i'm doing it!)... the thing that made me change my mind? Albertson's is NOT my hero anymore. I have had quite the run in with the coupons at that place and have embarrassed all my friends and family by yelling at the check out boys & girls about the price on my Quaker Oat Squares and now remember why I used to refuse service to them. Speaking of refusing service...I was refused service at McDonalds just the other day but that is another story for another time.

I just don't know where to begin.

We have been busy. Matt is going to school full time. Two years left and he will be DONE. I can hardly wait. I would like to stay home and tan and have babies and make crafts and go on lunch dates. Sounds dreamy right? I know.

I suppose I will start with Matt's birthday.

I planned a surprise birthday scavenger hunt...thanks to Marg and her rad ideas...up in p-town. Part of it was because I love my darling and wanted him to have a fun and exciting birthday doing things we are too boring to usually do, and part of it was because I was being selfish and wanted to go to Washington Square Mall and Ikea. My birthday bash idea killed two birds with one stone(which by the way is a pretty gross thing if you think about it. yuck.)

I gave Matt clues such as "Where Swedes go to shop"-Ikea

While we were there we bought this

For my sewing room...but it wasn't bright enough so we put it in Moll's reading corner in her room and sometimes I'm so jealous that it's not in my room I go sit under it just to admire it's cuteness.

Then we went to where St. Nick goes for lunch-Nicholas' Lebanese food...yikes. I really tried to like it but it was a stretch. The only thing that saved me from barfing was the gigantic pita bread.

We did other silly things like getting ice cream cones and going to Nike Town and going to Desseret book. But the raddest part of all was going bouldering. I was trying to be adventurous but it was quite the disaster.

This is me...an inch off the floor...hanging on for dear life.

This is Matt...almost upside down...rockin it like always.

Our arms felt like jello.

Then we went shopping and to Cheesecake Factory and ate until we thought we would explode. The next day we had a BBQ with the whole fam dam.

And that's all she wrote.
