SLC Trip...

So Dallin went hunting last weekend and I didn't want to stay home alone so I went to SLC. I went up thur. night and came back sunday. It was a fun trip. My cousins are always doing something and it was pretty eventful.

Multi Cultural Celebration: I went to this with my friend Ashlie. Hey sis-in-law did some African dances which were pretty entertaining. And they Ashlie was just flipping through the program and saw some girl with my same name. Same spelling and everything. I mean I know you can google yourself and find people with the same name but to actually be in the same room. Pretty wierd. So after I asked someone if they knew her and they thought it sounded familiar but that ended my search. I'm a wuss.

Utah Football Game: Dallin is a major BYU fan so I thought it would be fun to go to a Ute game and rub it in his face that they won by a landslide. It was pretty fun.

One of our adventures was hiking through the "Tubes" or aquaducts beneath the freeway. Haha. We also visited the "Gates of Hell" or an old wine cellar. So there were 4 tubes and each one got progressively steaper. The last 2 you had to use a rope and then at the end crawl out of a grate. They were short so you had to duck the whole time. Most of us only went up the first 2.





Friday night we wanted to eat at PF Chang's but it was an hour wait and we were pretty hungry. I was all for waiting because I had never been there. So we walked around for about 20-25 mintues and decided to go to the Blue Iguana and it was only a 20-25 minute wait. I'm so glad we saved our selfs 5-10 minutes by going there. Ha.

The girls: Me, Taryn, Caitlin and Chantelle

Captain Amazing...

Preface: Last weekend when I was in salt lake, we went hiking in the dark and we were telling stories about haunted houses. Not that I think mine is haunted but you never know. It freaked me out.

Dallin leaves for work at like 5:30-6 in the morning and it's still pretty dark. And sometimes I hear noises coming from the other rooms. Like my blinds moving and footsteps and moving about in the kitchen and I think I heard the computer on once. Haha. It could be Scooter or our neighbor (our walls touch) or my imagination, but it still scares me. I'm a wimp when it comes to that sort of thing. So last night I told him to lock all the doors, we have 3 sliding glass doors into our backyard. They have been unlocked for the past few months because I told him not to worry about it - hey it's St. George.

So this morning I go to let Scooter out and I notice that the middle room sliding door wasn't locked. So I go outside to feed her and get her some water and I shut the door so she wouldn't go back inside. Then I try to get back in. Um yah, it must not have been latched because it's locked now. Our back yard is enclosed in a 5 ft block wall. So I hop the wall and go through the tree into our neighbors yard and sneak through there hoping not to get eaten by dogs or shot. I Walk around to the front of the house and hope that there is an easier way from there. We don't have a keypad for our garage, our front door is dead bolted (no use even trying to find something that resembles a credit card) so I try the windows. I try a couple of times with a couple of the windows and no luck. I'm about to call a locksmith but I try the window one more time. It opens! So our couch is pushed up against it so I have to shimmy through a small window and up and over the couch. I seriously feel like MacGyver or James Bond or something right about now.

Luckily I had to do something before work and my boss knew I was going to be late so I wasn't even late to work!
