BYU/Graffiti/Moths... the perfect combination!

As mentioned before, we spent Friday afternoon cleaning out our entire garage.  We got rid of quite a bit of junk.  One thing I hate about garages is that no matter how organized they are, they still look junky.  Or maybe it's just me.  Anyways, here is a picture of our garage.  Who says Mac's aren't useful?  Ha ha!

Dustyn got 20 new iMacs for his classroom.  I decided to bring home the boxes to try and organize our junk.  Sadly, most of them are empty...  but someday when I want to have junk, I have somewhere to put it.  They work very nicely.  You can easily access the contents without removing the box, if you don't want to.

Dustyn I went to the BYU vs. Wyoming game (44-0) last Saturday with the youth in our ward.  Here are a few pictures that I took.  It was pretty fun!

On the way up to Provo we saw a train parked on the side of the freeway.  It was super long.  Maybe some of you Happy valley folk have seen it, but almost the entire thing has graffiti on it.  I am a sucker for cool graffiti.  I do think it has a time and place.  Foul words on the side of someone else's professional building is one thing, but most of the time I really enjoy looking at it.  I'm weird I know.  Anyways on the way back Dustyn pulled the camera out and took picture for me.  Of course we were on the freeway so they were all blurry.  Had we not had youth with us, we totally would have stopped and took some cool pictures.  Maybe it will still be there this weekend.  It's very cool.

 On the way back we stopped at a local burger shop and got a drink.  Ew, ew, ew.  I'm gagging thinking about it.  We love getting drinks there because they have good ice.  I really just wanted some soda soaked ice.  So I quickly drank my drink to get to the ice.  As I finished it all up, I pushed the straw all the way to the bottom and took one more large last drink.  Ew.  All of a sudden all the moisture was pulled out of my mouth and was filled with a sand of sorts.  I am thinking it was cleaner for ice machines.  Ew.  I was totally grossed out.  I started gagging.  (I have THE worst gag reflex ever.  Seriously.)  Of course I was driving so I was trying SO hard not to throw up.  It was so gross.  I doubt I can ever go there again, let alone just get a fountain drink somewhere.  Ew.

Let's see...  what's next.

Remember how I have been complaining about Moths lately?  So here is a picture that I took today.  I had a moth massacre.  Ew.  Here are all the ones I killed.  Here are all the ones that I hadn't caught yet.  It is so bad.  While I am killing all these moths there are 30+ outside on the window just waiting to come in and join in on the battle.  They are so bad this year.  AND this is only the kitchen! We are in the bedroom now and Dustyn has caught at least 5 or 6 just sitting here, without even trying.  They are still flying around in the fan, getting flipped downward onto our heads.  Gross.

By the way . . .

I will basically be MIA for a week or so. Miss me, okay?

We have a family reunion this weekend! Yay! Very excited!

And my computer is at Dr. Mac's getting fixed. She will be all shiny and new in a few days! Double Yay!

Until then, I will be around occasionally. Depending on how often I decide to steal Dustyn's computer. He doesn't really need it, does he? :) I already miss my bookmarks and RSS feed. :( But it will be coming home soon. :)

Have a fantastic weekend! I know I will! Life is fabulous!

Speaking of Apple . . .

Wanna see my new desktop?

Meeting Anika's Momma and Daddy

On Saturday we had made plans to meet Arianne and Greg.  We we hung out at the Gateway Mall for awhile.  It was so warm (okay - HOT).  But so much fun.  There were so many kids playing in the fountains.  It was so funny to watch them.  Only - I wanted to jump in so bad, but finally refrained.  I mean who really like walking around in wet clothes?  Not I.  While we were wandering we went in all the favorite stores.  Of course the Apple store.  Can't wait for the new 3G phone to come out on July 11th.  Don't know why.  Can't use one down here.  Anyways, back to my story.  We also went into Anthropologie.  I LOVE that store.  Of course I could never afford anything in there, but I love looking.  Last time we went there we found a book with an interesting art project.  Dustyn went home and tried it and we never posted pictures. But I will soon.  You can get a sneak peek here!  Anyways we were wandering and suddenly I smell one of the best smells ever.  Ever.  I walked around for at least 15 minutes trying to figure out where it came from.  Finally I found the culprit.  A super yummy candle.  Now I don't usually burn candles, but I will make an exception for this one!  I LOVE IT.  There was no chance I was leaving the store without that heavenly thing in my little paws.  So we bought it.  And I have never been happier to spend $26.00 on a stinkin' candle.  But O it smells good.   Totally worth the $26.00.  For sure.  Oh yeah, by the way, it kinda smells like Grapefruit, but better.  YUM!

While we were sitting on the bench waiting for Arianne and Greg, this scary guy came up.  I still have no idea why he came up to us.  Just to shoot the breeze i guess.  But I couldn't help but scoot my candle under the bench a little farther.  No one was getting away with my candle.  No one.  And then, he left.  

We met Greg, Arianne and Anika at Costa Vida for lunch.  It was a good time.  They are such a fun family.  I wish we could get cute little Anika a little sister or brother soon!  :)  She is so excited to have a brother or sister.  But we had lots of fun talking and getting to know one another (well in person, of course we chat quite a few times a week!).  We went and watched Greg and Anika play in the fountains.  It was so cute.  Greg is so cute with her.  It was getting a little warm so we decided to leave.  It was such a fun afternoon.  

We were trying to get pictures, but the sun was so bright.  I thought Dustyn was taking pictures, but I guess he hadn't yet.  So this is the only picture we got - as we were walking away.  But Arianne has some more on her blog.  

I was totally hoping Kim would be able to come, but next time for sure.  I didn't plan well.  I think we need to have a girls night out with all you up north bloggers!  That would be so much fun!  Or a big BBQ with our families too!  

Smaller, Faster and HALF THE PRICE!!!!

Why, why, why did they choose AT&T?  Grrrr......  And why doesn't AT&T work here.  :P  So frustrating!

Commercials

Ruthanne likes to post her favorite commercials on her blog - well here is mine!  :)

I really like the music on this commercial - a lot.   Enjoy.  

Sunday Night

Dustyn hanging out on a Sunday afternoon. Watching Grey's Anatomy and playing on the internet! Yay!

We went to Mom and Dad and had dinner. After we played Cranium with Jace, Tina and Mom. Fun times!

A day in the Sun . . . Er.. Snow!

We had a good day today! We are still in SLC and have just spent the day wondering. It was great. We started out at the Salt Lake City Museum of Art. They had some really cool exhibits. I'm glad we had the opportunity to go! After that we went to the Gateway and just hung out for a few hours. Of course, mostly in the Apple Store.
I am thinking we were in there for at least an hour and maybe two. We played with the iPhones for quite some time! We are still trying to decide if that is what we want to buy. We have decided that we do need something that is multi-functional that will contain the details of our lives. I don't want to carry a planner, and I am horrible at calendars. So we are still playing with the idea for a future day. After we left Apple, we went to Verizon to check out the Samsung, LG, Verizon and Blackberry smart phones. Well, as much as I tried, I just couldn't figure them out. It was frustrating. It seems that the iPhone is far more user friendly. Who knows. Anyways . . . we also went to AT&T to see if they could tell us how good the service is in Richfield. They told us it was great. . . I am not sure if I believe them. I still haven't met anyone in Richfield with AT&T Service, so I am a little nervous about that. But they say it has "best" service where we live, so we shouldn't have any problems. Hmmm...... Who knows.

We also went to Anthropologies. I LOVE that store. It is such a fun store to window shop in! LOVE it!! We also found some great books. There is one that I would LOVE to share... but Dustyn is going to try his hand at the idea, so I will let you know soon when Dustyn is finished! :)
Of course we had to go check out the Fountains! It was a lot of fun! They still have the water on and it was snowing. Too funny!
We also went to Olive Garden and had salad and bread sticks. YUM! Soooo gooood!
After we wondered around all day, we went to Target. Perfect ending to a perfect day! :) Then we went to Rumbi for dinner.
That was our day.
Wait. . . I forgot!!! Can't forget the trash can in Famous Footwear. I think I am trusting them and avoiding that! LOL!
And my favorite sign for the day! YAY! Thanks for the fabulous instructions!!

iPhone

So the Apple iPhone is officially on sale and Gremlin forgot to meet her 6:00 deadline. Can we even get on the Apple website to sneak a peak? No. It freezes up! Come on Apple. Get a few more servers for the HUGE sale! Ha ha! Just kidding. Maybe in a few days it will calm down and I can look at the sold out iPhone and wish a little more.
