That’s how long I have lived without ever having stitches. My lucky streak ended Wednesday night.
I was getting ready to go to my niece’s birthday party. I was walking down the stairs in our garage without the light on. I thought I was on the last step, but clearly I was wrong. I fell onto a metal workhorse of Mark’s. Unfortunately, my hands were full and so my chin broke my fall.
My chin doesn’t hurt too bad, but my arm hurts like a mother…dumb tetanus shot.
We may have won the BYU vs. Wyoming game last weekend, but Wyoming may have had the most hilarious fan.
Way to keep us all entertained Cowboy Ken.
Saturday was my dad’s birthday. He’s a pretty cool fella, so all of us kids got together and came up with a fun way to celebrate. We thought it would be tons of fun to drive down to Provo to go to the BYU vs. Wyoming game. Boy did we surprise him! Despite BYU not having a great season, and all the rain, we had a great time!
My sister and her husband couldn’t come, so my dad’s good friend Steve came along. He put up with us all day long, and still left with a smile on his face.
When we got to Provo, it was raining quite a bit. So we headed straight for the store in the stadium and we all ended up sporting these super cool ponchos. We are so cool.
I am glad we were able to spend such a fun day with my wack-a-doodle family. They make for entertaining company.
And hey, BYU managed to even pull out a win.
Way to win for dad on his birthday, BYU. That was mighty nice of you.
So, this weekend was a bit on the crazy side. We spent the entire weekend moving all of our stuff out of our storage unit and into here….
We are loving our new house. And I’ll love it even more when everything is unpacked ,organized and decorated! Pictures will come soon. We get internet at the house tomorrow and I’m really looking forward to not having to sit at a Wendy’s to check my email.
In my opinion, there are two kinds of people. There are those who put every dish, pan, and utensil possible in their dishwasher. Mark and I would most definitely fall into this category. If it fits, it goes in. Then there are the people who only put the plates, bowls, cups, and silverware into the dishwasher. My mom falls into that category.
Right now we are living with my parents until we move into our house next week. They happen to be out of town all week. You can imagine the inner struggle we had with wondering if we could get away with putting everything in the dishwasher while they are gone. We were so tempted. But, somewhere in the back of my head, I knew if I did it, my mom would somehow be able to tell. Mom’s just have a way of knowing when you are breaking the rules. So, Mom, you’ll be happy to see this.
Not a single pot, pan, utensil, or anything else you don’t want in your dishwasher went into your dishwasher.
Because I love you.
Because I am such a good daughter.
And because I didn’t want to get grounded.
The other day I was reading a blog post by Pioneer Woman. She was doing one of her ever so popular giveaways and the question she asked has had me thinking all week. The question was…
If you could live anywhere, where would you live?
My first impulse would be to choose someplace super cool, fancy, foreign, etc. But the more I thought about the more I realized something. If I could live anywhere, I would choose to live right were we are…in little old Rigby, Idaho. Sounds kind of crazy, right?
Well, we both have jobs that we are really enjoying, we’re moving into our new house in about a week(FINALLY), we can easily jet down to Provo for a BYU game, we love living near two temples, there are pretty mountains and lots of things to do outside, we like living in a quiet little town, and for the first time since we’ve been married, we live close to my family. I love that. It makes me happy. And so, for at least right now, I can’t imagine ever wanting to move anywhere else.
So, I’ll throw the question back at you….if you could live anywhere, where would you live? If it’s somewhere super cool…can I come visit?
