Dwight, is that you?

A local graffiti artist put their talent to good use by giving me the joy of seeing Dwight Kurt Schrute II immortalized on an electrical box on an Orem back road.

I also found the missing monkey, Jack, posting, complete with a detailed drawing, equally as entertaining.



Does this strike anyone else as random?

The Glories of AZ

The "Mormon-mobile". I hoped and dreamed I would be able to witness this, and as luck would have it, it was parked in its regular spot under the shade tree outside church, the means of transportation for a family of five. I still can not stop thinking about the mechanics of it all....



One bright morning Luke and I decided we wanted to soak up as much heat as we could before returning home. We took a blanket, some snacks, and good books to the park to relax. As we were basking in the 85-degree weather I noticed a flock (would it be a flock? A herd?) of geese getting dangerously close. We stopped reading in time to see the "lead" put his head down and charge. It ended up where ever we went he followed and went into attack mode when he got close. We didn't get much reading done.



Amy Jo is a digital photography teacher. She taught me how to do fancy things with my camera. Note: no photo shop was used with these pictures, just pure genius!

Walker's


Ahhhhh...... back when life was easy and we spent our time at gas stations.

Zeus



Is this the biggest dog you have ever seen? Luke and I stayed with Nikee this weekend in St. George and got to help her babysit Zeus. We took him for a walk and it looked like we were walking a horse. It was quite the spectacle! Cars would stop and stare and people working in their yards would stop what they were doing and come meet him. He is so sweet and I already miss him.

A moment of cheese please


Can I be cheesy for a moment? Today is Luke's and my 3rd wedding anniversary Time has flown by, I guess the old saying holds true for us, time flies when your having fun; or is it just because we are getting older and time moves faster each year? Either way I'm glad that I've been able to spend it with him. He can always make me laugh and more importantly he helps me laugh at myself. He still tells me I'm beautiful . He puts up with all of my bad/weird habits, as you see in my previous post. All in all, he is perfect for me in every way! I love ya Luke!

Tag... I'm it

The rules are: Once you have been tagged you have to write a blog with 10 weird random things, facts, or habits about yourself. At the end, you choose 10 people to be tagged. Don't forget to leave a comment that says, "you've been tagged" on their profile and tell them to read your blog.
I'm trying to think of ten random things about me....

1. I am a reality t.v junkie. Anything that is a reality show I probably watch or have seen. You name it. I especially love the shows on MTV and BRAVO.

2. I am a terable speller. Sometimes when I blog or do e-mails I have to use spell check. I think it has something to do with my deslexea.

3. I have a snake phobia. It is a real phobia. One time Amie Jo held a baby snake in front of me to try to help me get over my fear and I sat there and all of the sudden tears were falling down my face. I couldn't handle being that close to the snake and looking at it. I am terrified. I have nightmares about them.

4. I love learning about and reading books from the times of old English Royalty, Like Henry the 8th and Katherine and Elizabeth. It is another slight obsession. It is like a big soap opera.

5. I really want to learn how to sew my own clothes. After watching Project Runway I get all inspired and go out and buy material and try to sew something without a pattern, I've done this a few times. Big mistake. I know nothing about draping and measurments and sketching. I have yet to wear something that I've sewed. I have successfully sewed my own curtains, recovered a few chairs, and done bunches of table runners. I've searched everywhere for sewing classes but have not found any :(

6. I have phone anxiety. Whenever my cell phone rings I get really anxious. It mostly has to do with answering the Wadley Farms phone because I never know what or who I'm dealing with. My ideal vacation is a week without any phones.

7. I love being outdoors. I enjoy running, biking, hiking, camping, rock climbing, swimming, anything outdoors.

8. I don't like the cold, at all. If I could chose a place to settle down and live for the rest of my life it would need to have a year round temperature range of 50-90 degrees. I could do that. I would love to live near the ocean.

9. I love gardening. My dream job would have me working in a garden all day, without having to deal with the public.

10. I love ironing. I have the coolest iron and it makes me excited to iron. I have to beg Luke to let me iron his clothes.
