Uh Huh....

From the Film "Yes Man". This is soooo the best part of the movie!

Down down baby...

Dallin started a PT job today in hopes of getting out of debt a heckofalot quicker. We read a book by Dave Ramsey called "The Total Money Makeover" awhile ago and due to the current economic situation and less hours and pay cuts - we have not even done baby step 1.

So by putting this on here - Hopefully it will make me more accountable. Hopefully. My friend Jeff is also following the program and he is doing really well. It's fun to watch as he pays off a card at a time, snowballing it into the next. That excites me.

Wish me luck!

July...

So here it is... the last day of the month. It seems it's a new trend for me to post something the last minute. Like it's visiting teaching or something and I've procrastinated it until the end. It's really not that I'm too busy to put anything up - more like there is nothing TO put up. We have been working on our house but haven't finished anything that is picture worthy. The Holidays were fun but not too exciting. But can I just say that the Leeds Pioneer Parade has really gone downhill. There were plenty of kids but there were maybe 10-15 spectators. No candy. No animals. The fire truck didn't even make a sound.

Here's to August being more intriguing.

Adversity...

I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable.

-Anne Morrow Lindbergh

A quote I used in my talk yesterday.

Everything To Me...

This is Whitney (from "The City" and "The Hills") ex-boyfriends band. Not that I would know that. I just like the song K.

Tamarama - New Music - More Music Videos

Sorry about the commercials. Youtube wouldn't let me embed. lame.

Star Trek...

So on Friday night we wanted to have a movie night with our friends the Bills, so I suggested we go see Star Trek up at the IMAX theater in Zions.

Now I've never EVER been a Star Trek fan (quite the opposite) but the new one looked good.

Hello Captain Kirk.

We took my friends new(to her) car and took off on the hourish drive up to Zions. We got about 10 minutes away from the theater and all the sudden all her dash warning lights go crazy and then nothing. It died. We waited for this crazy drunk prius driving hippie to come help us with the battery but that wasn't the problem. So Crystal and I took a nature hike while we waited an hour for her dad to come tow us. Turns out it was some fairly easily solved electrical problem.
And can you believe we tried it again the next night. Only this time with success. It's a good movie.

Zumba...

Last night me and my sis in law Jen went to the Washington Rec Center for a Zumba class. We aren't that talented in the rhythm department but it was much fun. The class was about an hour and it didn't even seem like it. When I was younger I was in a Dance group and I was in such great shape! I miss it! It's a great work out and we'll prob go back next week.
