Smores!

Last night we decided to make smores in our fire pit in the backyard. We our next door neighbors- the Dimonds, Jared's parents & Andy (nephew) and the Faulkners. The Dimonds and Jared's parents were here at the same time. The weather started out pretty good, a few raindrops here and there. Then the rain started to come down and we all rushed inside. They all decided to go home for the night. About 1/2 later the Faulkners came over when it was still raining but the fire was still burning. So we braved the rain and roasted some marshmallows anyway! Eventually the rains stopped and the sky cleared! We had a good time, thanks for coming over! You can kinda see the rain drops on the picture.

We went and saw the new "Transformers" show last night, it was a bit slow in the middle but overall we liked it. I can't wait for the new Harry Potter to come out in July, maybe I will get my tickets now! We also got to see the trailer for "New Moon" which I have seen before, but seeing it again made me excited! WE love movies, can you tell?

Not much is going on in our lives right now...still waiting on the house to sell, they have an offer so I guess we see what happens.
I have sold some of my books on Ebay- 6 of them this week...that is kind of fun. I have so many that I don't need or want, and it makes me a little bit of money.
We are going to see the new Transformers movie tomorrow night, that should be good!
Work is going good, I am glad the weather is starting to be normal again, we can actually swim outside which is nice. Other than that nothing else to report on. Life is normal and good.

Today I walked out of my house, into my garage to go to work..and I had a flat! I don't know how to change a flat nor do I know how to drive a stick shift, which was also sitting in our garage. I called Jared and he said "Well your are going to have to change it" and I said "I don't know how" so I will get a lesson on that tonight.

BUT I still had to go to work (which would have been nice if it was the school because I would have hopped on my trusty bike..but it wasn't) so I went next door to our wonderful neighbor and asked her for a HUGE favor. Danielle took me to Jared's parents where I picked up the truck and drove to work and amazingly I made it ON TIME! We have such great neighbors..hopefully we will be able to stick around this neighborhood! Thanks again Danielle, you are a life saver!

Park City

We went up to Park City yesterday to do a little bit of shopping. We decided that we would go up through Provo Canyon for a change of scene. It was so pretty that way. We stopped in Heber at the Dairy Keen for some burgers and onion rings, it was yummy! At the outlets Jared found some shoes at Nike - the same pair he has had the last 4 times, but they fit him good and they were only $20! We stopped at Bath and Body works and stocked up on some hand soap- $60 worth, but half is my Mother-In-Laws...we are set on that for awhile! Jared found him some shorts at Eddie Bauer, which was the reason we went. At Old Navy I found some new capris and a t-shirt. Then we headed to the Croc store...of course I found a pair of cute crocs and Jared found him a new pair as well--which is hard with his size 15's. It was a nice little trip.

On a side note we are trying to decide where to go for our 5th anniversary this fall. We have a few options that we have thought of--Seattle, Las Vegas and now we have added Park City..where to go?

Maybe this is just what I needed to hear, but for some reason it really got to me.

Mesquite

This weekend we went to see my Dad in Mesquite. We started out early Friday morning and stopped in Beaver for breakfast and the cheese factory...have to have my cheese! Then we went to St. George to visit the outlet malls where we didn't find a thing! (well I found a swimsuit at Ross but that is going back) after shopping we went to eat at...In-N-Out...of course! We then made our way to Mesquite to my Dad's house, that night we went to a buffet at the Virgin River, which was pretty good. Later on we went to see "Land of the Lost" which was really, really dumb! I guess I kinda expected it to be dumb being that it is a Will Ferrell movie. Saturday we decided that we were going to go to Las Vegas. While we were there we went to Trader Joes and stocked up on some stuff like Lime Aid...love that stuff!
Jared found a Outlet Mall in Vegas that we decided to go too. They had tons of stores like a Nike Outlet, where I found another swimsuit (which is why the Ross one is going back) and Jared found some clothes. Saturday night we went to dinner with my Dad, Aunt Jeanne and Uncle Frank...and then to the casino to donate some money to the community! We are going home today with a stop in St. George for lunch at In-N-Out...I don't know what will happen when that place comes to American Fork..I am afraid we won't eat anywhere else! It was a fun trip!
