Random thought of the day ...

Just sitting at work, listening to the Kenny G Christmas album and thinking, "Is it weird that I like this?" I usually pretend in front of Adam that I don't like Kenny G, but secretly, I kind of do. How 1995 is that?

Live Model!

Thanks to my Sister-in-law's super cute baby, and really nice camera, I finally have some nice photos of my latest creation.

Our model of choice for these one of a kind shoes is Thor. Thor is 3 months old and his favorite activities include smiling, eating, sleeping, cooing, and just being dang cute.

The good and the bad

While I love my new office in historic down town Provo, there are a few things not to love. Well wait, I'll tell you what I love first, and then what I don't. I love the character of the building. It was built in the early 1900's so it has very cool wood detailing everywhere. It has really beautiful tall ceilings, and windows. I love the vibe in down town Provo. There are always people out an about. We are very close to some of the best restaurants in Provo, so that is fun too. And I love all the big old trees that are around. Also, we have found that having a dumpster situated right below our office window can provide a fun, slightly more challenging, way to take the trash out. We have only missed once or twice.

Now on to my complaints. Not so in love with all the weirdos around here. We never had this problem at our old office, but around here there are several mentally unstable people. Whether they are homeless or not is debatable, but they are definitely weird. I can honestly say that I have been more creeped out walking to my car here than I ever was walking to or from work in New York City. So I carry a little bottle of pink pepper spray. Over kill? Probably, but you can never be too safe.

This little guy is my only other complaint: Luckily my business partner isn't terrified of mice like I am. He was the heroic captor in this situation. The ironic thing is I have a cute little pink stuffed mouse sitting next to me on my desk. It's cute, the live one isn't. We have since sealed up several holes in the closet in hopes of keeping our furry little friends out.

On a side note I did try singing like Giselle on Enchanted to see if I could get the friendly little vermin to come clean my office, but it didn't work. So I decided if they were going to eat our food and not work for it, they had to go!

I want this

I LOVE glitter. Like, really love glitter. Anything with glitter on it is better. I have even thanked God in my prayers before for glitter because it makes me happy. Maybe if I pray for this glitter set it will show up on my door step? Maybe.

Blog Barf

I did it. I sat down yesterday and did some serious blog barfing. So keep scrolling down to see all the posts I did. Wouldn't want you to miss out on anything. And, just because I did all my posts at once, doesn't mean you don't have to leave me reaffirming comments to make me feel good about putting all the crap I do up for the world to see.

Thanks!

25!

On October 9 I turned 25, and this is how I feel about it:

(Love the double chin. That one is for you Lindsey.)

I thought I might be more freaked out about turning 25, but I was so sick for the whole week leading up to my birthday, that I didn't really have time to think about it. By the time the day came, I was just so excited to feel good.

I got thoroughly spoiled for my big day. Adam gave me his present early because it came in handy for a very sick girl. He got me a Blue-ray Player. He led me on a scavenger hunt to find it. I felt like crap as we paraded around the house to find the present, but he was so excited about it that I toughed it out. When I first opened it I was like, "Wow, is this for me or you?" Cause really, I don't care about Blue-ray. The cool part about it is it instantly streams Netflix movies and Pandora radio. Very cool! I have watched many movies in the last 2 weeks as I sat on my butt feeling like crap. Thanks Adam!

On Thursday, the day before my birthday, my friend and business partner Bert made sure I was very spoiled. He got me a beautiful purse from my favorite store Nordstrom using our Dell discount. Gotta love the computer hook up! He got me cake and balloons too! We had a nice lunch to top the celebrating off!

My sweet brother Zach got me flowers and my favorite store bought cookies: Mint Milanos. Mmmmm!

When my actual birthday came, I had pretty much already received all of my gifts. I opened a nice card with $$ (that's always nice,) from Dad and Grandma and Grandpa. But what were we to do with my birthday day off? Good question. Two years ago for my birthday my mom gave me a kayak. Cool huh? Well we decided that for its 2 year birthday we would take it on it's maiden voyage! First we had to blow it up.
Look! We fit!




Then we headed out to our private neighborhood boat launch. Another perk of where we live! We strapped on our too small life jackets, (I swear they weren't that small in the store. Haha!) and headed out into the wild!


We didn't even dunk the boat! Good thing too, cause it wasn't very warm out. It was so beautiful. What a fun way to spend birthday morning!

Thank you all for making it a special day! I know I am loved. Thank you for all of the gifts. I didn't list everything I got, but that doesn't mean the things I didn't list are any less important. I was just afraid if I kept listing the cool things I got people would get jealous. :)

Boy Date!

We love to take our nieces and nephews out on little dates. It's harder to come up with fun boy dates than it is girl dates. So when my friend Bert had an extra ticket to the BYU vs. Utah State football game, we figured it would be the perfect boy date! Willy loved it! It was so fun to watch how excited he got.


I was also amazed at how much that boy could eat! We went to Noodles for dinner before the game and he ate a whole plate of Mac 'n Cheese with meatballs. He ate the meatballs whole. I figured that was a lot. He ate more than me, but when we got to the game he ate his apple, 2 granola bars, bag of carrots, and fruit roll up. Holy! He is a growing boy!
