I can be random.

Just cause I know you wanted to see my fine face on this fine friday! (i heart my webcam)
So first off, I am already loving the daily question! Thank you so much for playing along! But we will get to that later.

Are you so excited that Nie is back! Wow! It good to know she is recovering! Of course, I have to admit that I had never heard of her before the accident, but I have a feeling I am going to start reading daily.

Speaking of plane accidents, wasn't that pilot/rescue effort in the Hudson River amazing? I just watched and was glued to the TV as everything went down. Even though I bet it was completely scary for those on board, it totally left me with a happy feeling! I love when things go perfect.

Oh, oh. I keep forgetting to mention that for some reason our url for Parent Profiles isn't working and goes to the PP home page. So if you are wondering why our adoption button seems to be advertising PP, that is why. I have emailed them and they are working on the problem. Until then you can use this link.

Hopefully it will get working soon! Otherwise there are a LOT of pass-along cards out there are that advertising Parent Profiles. Ha ha.

Have I mentioned how excited I am to go on our Cruise? The countdown is on! Yay! Then I can show you my super bargains on my dress! But not until then, sorry.

I have been getting SO many lame spam emails lately. You know the ones. Give me all your personal info and I will send you 100 bizzilion dollars. Love those.

Dustyn and I decided that it would be fun to have a camcorder when we go on the cruise. We have been going to buy one for awhile, but just haven't. We finally bought one. Here it is. Dustyn designed it himself. I really like how it turned out. I told him I wanted black, red, and white stars. He did good! Oh yeah, and those little flip cameras? They are pretty cool.

We finally bought some new luggage! Yay! Well we only got one suitcase each, but they are super nice! The suitcases we have been using (the one from Dustyn's mission that is 15 years old) doesn't have the best zippers. I am glad I don't have to worry about it anymore. Now I am the owner of a nice Jeep suitcase. It did help that it was in clearance in Walmart. I love me a good bargain.

And, we bought the cutest orange/yellow polka-dot ribbon to help us identify our luggage quickly... so if you are going on the cruise to the Mexican Riviera when we are, chose another color. ;)

If anyone has suggestions on what I need to know to have the best time ever on a cruise, let me know! I would love to hear what you have to say.

Oh, oh! And I also bought a bag full of tomatillos yesterday. Anyone know a super good recipe? I love the flavor of them, but I haven't decided what I am going to make with them. I mean I could always make soup, but I am willing to try something new. So if you have a favorite recipe, let me know.

I think Dustyn and I might get to go to Steve's tonight! I am so excited! We are going for our anniversary! I know you are thinking... hey wasn't that like a week ago? Why, yes it was. We went to SLC, but decided to just eat out somewhere not so exciting and to come home and go to Steve's. We might finally make it.

Which brings me to our anniversary. We decided to go to Body Worlds! I was so, so excited. Dustyn bought tickets the week before to make sure that we would be able to get in (since it was the 2nd to last day of the exhibit). Once we got up there, I looked at the tickets and noticed that they said Jan 5th, not Jan 10th. Apparently something happened in the ordering process and the tickets were for the wrong day. They could not change the day, so we were out the tickets and the money. :P  So frustrating! We could have paid to go again I am sure, but I didn't want to pay double to go see the exhibit. So we didn't get to go. :P Instead we went shopping and bought a few outfits for me for the cruise. Well... a dress. I have nothing formal to wear, but I do now! Well... semi-formal. That is as fancy as I get right now. Once we were finished shopping, we went to Sweet Tomatoes to eat. It was okay, but not as good as normal. But we topped it off with some frozen yogurt from Red Mango, so that made it all worth it. We didn't even have to share!

Okay, my laptop is about to die, that means that it is time for me to get in the shower and be productive today! Yes, it is almost 11 and I have yet to shower OR be productive. But for now, here is your question for the day:

Question 2: What was your most favorite class in school? (high school or college)

Answer: Hmm...  of course I really liked all my math classes in high school. But some of my favorite classes were Mr. Walser's classes and Mr. William's classes in college. They were Criminal Justice classes that were quite interesting. I mean who doesn't want to listen to personal cop stories for two years. It was a fun major, for sure!

Have a lovely Friday!

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad


My amazing parent have been married 30 years today!!
Maybe when I get home I will post some older pictures. But I don't have any on my computer at the moment.




HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MOM AND DAD!

We're Home!

We are finally home. Okay . . . we got home late Sunday night. The conference was amazing and I am so thankful we were able to attend. I met so many wonderful people (I even met Carly on Saturday, she is too funny and super cute! Love her!). It was so great to go somewhere and hang out with other couples that all have something in common. Adoption. We have all felt the ache and experienced the miracle of adoption around us or in our own family. Although I have to say that listening to the birth mothers tell their experiences was my favorite part. I don't think I have ever felt my emotions so close to the surface. The spirit was so strong.

We now have so many ideas to promote our adoption and have a new found hope. It is so exciting.

After we left the conference on Saturday, we went to the Salt Lake Temple to do a session. Neither one of us have ever been there, so we wanted to make sure we made it to a session while we were up north. When we walked in the worker was talking to us and strongly encouraged us to go do sealings. I wasn't sure if I wanted to at first, since it was my first time in the temple and I really wanted to do a session. But it was so neat to do sealings again. It has been a few years since we have done them. It was neat to hear the promises and blessings of an eternal family. It just helped my testimony of Eternal families and of the sealing power of the priesthood. I know we will be with our adopted children as an eternal family, even as if they were of our own flesh and blood. What an amazing blessing. The Salt Lake Temple is beautiful and now I am wanting to go back up and go to a session as soon as possible!! :)

After the temple we went to the Cheesecake Factory. Yum. It was so good! They had cheesecake a few times at the conference and I was craving a "good" piece of cheesecake! And it was so worth it! So good!!!

We ended up staying at Dustyn's mom's house and going to church with her on Sunday. Dustyn's brother and sis-in-law gave really good talks in church. I was happy we were able to be there! After we got home, we went to my parents for the evening to tell them about our awesome experiences. We finally made it home Sunday evening. It felt good to be home.

Yesterday, Dustyn and I went to the school and started working on the yearbook for 12 hours!!! It was a long day, but we did get a lot done. Finally at 8:00PM we went with Jace, Chet and my parents out to dinner for their anniversary. Which brings me to my next post . . .

Our Night Out

So Dustyn and I decided to drive to SLC for the night.  Just a break to get out of Richfield.  Of course we went and ate at the . . . 

I LOVE the Cheesecake Factory!  I am excited that we don't have to go to Vegas every time we are craving a delicious piece of . . . 
RASPBERRY LEMON CHEESECAKE!!!  YUM!!  It was so good.  I think I am going to have to go get another piece for breakfast!   :)  But we had some good food!  

Now I am exhausted and SO FULL!  I ate TOO much!  But how often do days like this come around!  LOL!  I looking forward to tomorrow when I don't feel so full!  :)  But, boy was it good!

Happy Anniversary to us!



Thanks everyone! :) I'd scan some nice pictures in, but this is all that you get for the moment! :)
