a Temple day, sushi and happiness

So Thursday evening- me, my cousins Heidi and Erica and my grandma went to the Temple for a sesh. It was good to see them and I always love going to the Temple with family. I am grateful for the Temple and the peace I feel there. I have been going there more lately and I have seen a difference in my happiness. :)

Afterwards we went to Olive Garden and I called my sweet hubby and he met us there. Olive Garden is gooood. Here's a cute pic of me and Scoty boy. Just look how handsome he looks! I like him.

 

Scoty has been working extra hard lately. He has a new job! He works in the ER at Dixie Regional and is a critical care tech. Basically an EMT that works around the clock helping people in the emergency room. He gets to see and help a lot of interesting people... and a lot of creepy gross injuries! I am so proud of him. He has worked there about a month and was just made full time. Yay for insurance!  He is really smart, i know i could never do what he does. He works so hard. Usually four 12 hour shifts a week but lately it's been like five or six days in a row. He is my tough boy.  I love him alot and cant imagine my life without him. 

Wednesday night I was able to get together with my friend Shanna who was in town from Colorado and get some sushi. All you can eat sushi. and we did eat all that we could. Yeahh sushi. Mmm.

She is so freakin' cute it hurts to look at her sometimes. I am really glad we got together! 

This is the first week I have had plans almost everyday. On tuesday, we visited my mom in Hurricane and ended up going to a movie out there. Scot actually was the one who suggested it and even bought me popcorn. He even picked the romantic Zac Efron movie. He was being such a doll that day. Everyday mostly :) I was really grateful this week that my schedule was so full and i had so many people that wanted to spend time with me. It was a good feeling. 

Now i am just counting down until the first of June because i am going on an art trip with my mom, sister and grandma to San Fransisco! Whoo hoo. 

I am a happy girl.

Blog worthy weekend.

My life evolved this week. It became blog worthy.
Most things I do you wouldn't want to read about because they are incredibly boring or you just might feel sorry for me. But not this week! Yeah!

It all started last weekend. My dear friends came for a visit. I haven't seen them for many eons, so it was much needed.

Taylor has been my best pal since we discovered that we were both awkward and chubby in 6th grade. It has been an awesome journey of eating chocolate pie and watching one another grown into attractive women (more attractive than 6th grade, at least). Tia, whom I conveniently did not get any photos of by the way, has been my other BFF since 9th grade. (She took tons of photos with us on her iphone, but lost it.. soooo..) She moved here from up north and we swooped in on her asap. She looked like she might be funny and she was definitely cute, which our circle of pals needed so we ambushed her in the hall. "hi new girl, wanna come to lunch with us?" I think it was Taylor who initially made the first move. We have grown to love Tia in ways that is impossible for other humans to understand. I am really happy that my best friends were able to come down to play with me. It was a blast!

 

There was snow cone eating, just alot of eating in general, carrousel rides, and birthday parties. 

 

 It was a blasty blast. Taylor also did my hair like old times. I love being blonde..r? I miss them!

Reunited

Guess what pals!!

My best friends that moved up north stopped by last night on their way to Las Vegas and we got to play!

I haven't seen them since the wedding which was like 41 years ago.(Yes, i have been married that long)  It was so much fun to see them again!

I'm obsessed with you girls!

We went out for sushi, which was a tradition with us... we ate sushi aaaalll the time. So, when the sushi came to our table I was quite excited because i haven't eaten it for a very long time.

I pick up a peice with my chopsticks aannd...

it was the nastiest thing i've ever eaten.

MY TASTE BUDS HAVE CHANGED

 AND NO LONGER ENJOY EXTRAVAGENT RAW FISH AND SEAWEED.

I almost spit it out but I swallowed it painfully and wallowed in my newfound discovery of my dwindeling taste for "hip" cuisine. 

So, I ate the rest of my fried rice and when I got home had a bowl of cereal. Yup.

I took a couple of pictures but I'm missing half of the group!

^^ me and my twin.

We have the same brain pretty much and when I had super blond hair, EVERYONE asked us if we were twins. Even though we don't look at all alike, our blond hair somehow made us siblings...we're still twins even with my brown hair and pasty skin. She is just the cooler one. :)

 

me, taylor and brooklyn.

I don't know where Tia, Angela, and Tasha wandered off to... I will need to steal them away soon and get some pics with them.

It was fun to be reunited and laugh with them!

Miss you girls!

Love, your married best friend
