Quirks

Okay, so I don't have anything too exciting to blog about, but I'm feeling chatty tonight (aren't you lucky?). I decided to make a list of my OCD quirks, hoping that maybe YOU decide to do the same!


1. I genuinely feel like my right side is better than my left. Not in a healthy way, but in a superior way.

2. When I walk, I visualize myself breathing in on my right and out on my left. Once again, breathing in is superior to breathing out.

3. When I walk, I try to only step on cracks with my right foot rather than my left. Once again, it's a superior thing.

4. I'm super paranoid about getting enough oxygen. If Billy gets too close to me, I get scared he's depriving me of oxygen, which would lead to me losing brain cells, and subsequently getting stupider.

5. I play music with my teeth.

6. I'm terrified of the dark! Sometimes I can't even turn the bathroom light off at night.

7. I tend to act way too friendly around people I don't know. It's more out of insecurity than anything else, but it always leads to very bad first impressions! Oops.

Hope you enjoyed it, now I choose to tag:
Leanna, Denisha, Kari, Heather, Mary-Anne, Tamara, and anyone else I'm forgetting!

Memories #1

I decided to start a new piece on my blog, where I write about cute things Ethan does that he won't be doing for long.


1. He says bless you after every cough, sneeze, and yawn.

2. He loves to run up to me, grab my legs, and kiss them, over and over again. It's my favorite!!

Supper at Angie's

My cousin Angie was kind enough to have us over for supper before we left Utah. She has 2 adorable little girls, and some of my other cousins showed up as well! It was so fun - glad we were able to see them before we left!

I had to post this picture because Ethan was obsessed with this stroller for some reason. He dragged it around the house for the 2 hours we were there. So adorable!

American Fork Carnival

You know what carnivals mean: Rides you can't trust and COTTON CANDY! Mmm.. I love cotton candy. I'd like to have some more, please. After the wrap party, Billy pansied out and went to bed, SO I called Melissa and James and headed to the carnival.

It's so fluffy..

I'm gonna die!

Melissa. What are you looking at??

We didn't end up riding any rides - mostly because we were scared of rides that get packed up at the end of the night, but the food was really good. I don't care what they put in cotton candy - to me it's just rainbows and heaven!

Wrap Party

Did I mention Billy's been working on a feature for a month down in Utah? I think I forgot to mention that part. His friend was kind enough to hire him on this project, AND awesome enough to let us stay at his house so we'd have our own space! I know Justin won't read this, but I want to thank him for giving us this opportunity to actually put money in the bank. Thank you thank you thank you!

Anyway, here are pictures from their wrap party:

Us beforehand. I've never been to one of those, so I had fun dressing up!

This might be tacky, but I totally had to take pictures of the Producer's house. It was amazing! Here's a picture of his pool and pool house, which might be as big as my apartment. That circle in the pool was a hot tub. How cool is that?!

A picture of the house. I guess if I HAD to, I could live in it :)

Breakfast - I Mean, Visiting St. George

Derek and I decided to spend some time in St. George with our Aunts and Uncles. It wasn't a very long trip, but it was nice to see the Hansens, who were kind enough to let us stay at their place.

Dad - Eat your heart out! Jeff made us breakfast!!

There were other people we'd liked to have seen (the Guerisoli's), but all in all, it was a great trip. Thanks for your hospitality; can't wait to see you guys again!

July 4th

The 4th of July was always such a big deal in Pierre, that it really doesn't seem the same if I don't spend it with my family! I'm so grateful I was able to spend it at my parents' house on the river. Thanks for the memories!

Just chillin out before the fireworks began..

Our "skyline" in Pierre! So beautiful - can't believe how much I miss it!
