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!

Seriously, how do they swim so fast?

When I swim, I barely move. (okay, so really, I can't swim)

But that isn't what my post is about. Just something I am amazed at.

So yesterday while Dustyn was in meetings for school, I went over to his classroom and set up his 20 new iMacs. What a lot of work! You wouldn't think it would be that tiring, but it took me about 2 hours to unpack all of them, pull all the sticky protective stuff off and set them up. Then it took me another 5 or 6 hours to run all the updates and set up student accounts. What a day. But it was kinda fun! I like getting ready for school. I am pretty sure Dustyn doesn't get as excited as I do about it! :)

And then, the best part of the day, one of my BFFs, Carrie and her husband Rodney, stopped and had dinner with us at Steve's Steakhouse. MY favorite restaurant! Love it. It was so fun (and always is) to talk and catch up. (Of course, the food was great too) I love that they are some of our adoption peeps. I am so glad we became friends all those years ago. Let's see . . . it's been 11 years this month. Crazy!

Another exciting thing that is coming up for us is that we are going to Disney Land with them at the end of October. I am so excited!

Oh yeah and don't forget, if you know anyone considering adoption, they are an amazing couple. Feel free to pass along their information.
