And maybe more importantly, why doesn't it ever seem to slow down? Much as I try to take a breather and not have everything scheduled, it never seems to let up!<br />
<br />
It's been so long since I updated the blog I don't even have a clue what I've been busy with! Just working and doing photo sessions and being parents and running a household I guess!<br />
<br />
For Halloween this year Sadie decided to be Nanny McPhee: <br />

She hated her moles though. :) <br />
Cydnie was convinced she was going to be a minion from Despicable Me: <br />

Of course, 2 days before Halloween we couldn't figure out how to finish it, so we were frantically looking for an alternative for Cyd. Since I am a terrible friend and hadn't returned last year's costume to my dear friend Hope, we had a backup... if only we could find some Dorothy shoes....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">went to Wal-Mart looking for some kind of plastic show I could spray paint, of course - and they had a WHOLE RACK!

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">November - </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I took a girls' trip with a few friends the weekend before Thanksgiving. We had sooo much fun. I'm so blessed to have fabulous friends. We went to Time Out for Women, a conference with speakers with messages for women, most are gospel-related topics. Boy, did I need it. Lots of messages about Hope and the role it can play in our lives. And besides from the spiritual enlightenment, there was shopping and much, much laughing. Perfect weekend.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For Thanksgiving I got to host it at my house this year. We fed around 20 people from Morgan's side of the family in our basement. We also moved more couches into the basement for visiting and watching football. I had to work at 4:00 that afternoon so i didn't get to do much visiting or watching TV. Disappointing for me, cuz I'm kind of a talker.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">But I enjoyed my time there very much! Love my family-in-law.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">At the beginning of October we had a house guest - Morgan's nephew Donovan is engaged and we were having his fiance stay with us. The girls loved it - she was so great with them and did their hair so cute. After a while we decided it wasn't working for our family and she has since made other arrangements but it was fun to have her for a while.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As far as December thus far we are enjoying the Christmas season! We've got our tree up and decorated and most things bought and wrapped. (I'll add pictures soon.) The girls are beyond excited. I love this time of year, other than the cold, which I hate. I love parties though - looking forward to the Utah Highway Patrol party tomorrow night and the Big.Annual.Dudley.Christmas.Party (that causes much stress and anticipation) on Saturday!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Oh and regarding my Big News I mentioned on Facebook (no, I'm not pregnant), I'll give details tomorrow. ;)</div>Wonderland Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16013861623276951637noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880448204385165102.post-59076016777677883462010-08-01T15:23:00.000-06:002010-08-01T15:23:54.634-06:00The Most Amazing Weekend!Get ready for a billion-picture-post! :)<br />
<br />
We had sooo much fun with Annie and Jeremy and their kids this weekend! They came out Friday night and we barbequed for dinner and stayed up late getting things ready to run the Green River the next morning. We went down the river with Danielle and Jared Holmes and their kids, our family, and the Barker family. I think we all had a blast. We just went down once and then ate our packed lunch at Little Hole.<br />

We did something fun every single day and still left time just to be home and relax.<br />
<br />
The first day, Morgan was off work too so we went up to Jones Hole to play in the water and have a picnic. That is some COLD water!! Sadie didn't seem to mind though, which is kind of out of character for her. Cydnie was the one who was too cold to get in. (She was right though. I swore I saw an ice chunk floating in it once. ;) )<br />

Our dear friends are always so sweet to accomadate and this time was no exception. Morgan and I did a little shopping and that evening Annie and Jeremy took us up the canyon in Springville for a little barbeque. The kids played in the creek and got really dirty - which is always a sign of a good time. :)<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Tradition for our family on the 4th of July is something I look forward to every year! Last year I had to work and it broke my heart a little. :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This year, the 4th fell on a Sunday, so we altered our tradition just a little bit. (Tradition being, get pizza fairly early in the afternoon and spend the whole afternoon and evening in the same spot at the park waiting for the fireworks.) Morgan's sister, Kimberli brought up her grill and we all grilled our own meat and had pot-luck salads and desserts. It was so much fun.

I was kinda bummed, actually. If you know me at all, you know I spend A LOT of time on parties. I love it. It's fun for me. This year we decided to have a "friend, kid-party" seperate from the "family party". This isn't a much different plan than usual except for that usually our friend party for kids includes the cousins. I found out this year that that is the only way to go! We love having our cousins come to the kid party! This year was awful, as far as party planning went! The girls had a great time anyway and that's all that matters but here's what happened: (This might be long and boring. Feel free to skip over and just look at the pics!)<br /><br />We had planned to have the party at the park - the kid party @ 3 and the family party @ 5. At about 10:00 am it was clear we were not going to be partying outside anytime soon. I called and "reserved" the church house for a backup plan. I had a whole golf themed party planned with a lot of fun little games for the kids. Some of those had to be altered due to the fact that it had to be inside, but that was no problem. We loaded up EVERYTHING in the car to go to the party @ 2 and I went to the house of the lady who is in charge of the building reservations to get the key. (This also happens to be my mother-in-law. Very convenient.) The only problem is, she hasn't been issued a key to the building yet. Not very convenient. So I went to my brother-in-law's house to get a key because he is the <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggkqrABzkboPz4Es3P3CokeC-1LwjYJTECgtptU70fHC8U-HrDM0LPlHiIrGq3kzFOPxIx4w_Cx8OVgbkgihiz-XCPAz5TBA0RjYX105mr-9RHQBM1IKjjoYd381aKKK4tmClo0pT7QBc/s1600/DSC_0015.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 212px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475891894340834658" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggkqrABzkboPz4Es3P3CokeC-1LwjYJTECgtptU70fHC8U-HrDM0LPlHiIrGq3kzFOPxIx4w_Cx8OVgbkgihiz-XCPAz5TBA0RjYX105mr-9RHQBM1IKjjoYd381aKKK4tmClo0pT7QBc/s320/DSC_0015.JPG" /></a> Elder's Quorum Pres. He couldn't find his key. I go to the member of the bishopric's house to get a key and he's not home. I track him down at the neighbor's house and get a key. By this time the guests will be arriving in about 15 minutes. I get to the church and go to unlock it when I look over and realize someone is IN the building. It's been UNLOCKED THE WHOLE TIME. AUGHGHHG.<br />I hurry and set everything up and 3 rolls around. No guests. Then quarter after. No one. So I called one of the guests and she said she wasn't going to make it and the only other person I invited was running late as well. I decide at that point there really isn't going to be much point in getting all the kid activities going, as the family party will be starting in a little while. So! Long story short, no one was able to come to the girls' party... (Later Denise and the girls came over and played in between the two parties and the other girl showed up as well. The kids were all very confused as to why there was no party. It was totally awkward and terrible. For me. Not for my girls, really.)<br /><br />The family party was fun. It's always kind of a challenge to prepare that much food for people when you're grilling it for 30 people on a grill that only holds 8 burgers at a time while at the same time the pressure I feel to entertain everyone. The girls got great things, our family is so generous!<br /><br />My favorite part of their birthday as a whole, however was this AWESOME kitchen playset Morgan was able to build for the girls. Honey, you're amazing. Thanks for not only putting up with all my crazy dreams but making them happen!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTendQfquzVSi_PXugH0bUJh9Tv9TAyDYeAwpxUR7M9NqT7qTnrB72Mv6X2fAC01q0pa25QWBsy4pDgXXdgiWPV5ICV-_n8-NvZdf3Zi-OrhWat6j4tSfK9tQgbOrgI0MC7PC3bY0pN6k/s1600/DSC_0012.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475891761415772818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTendQfquzVSi_PXugH0bUJh9Tv9TAyDYeAwpxUR7M9NqT7qTnrB72Mv6X2fAC01q0pa25QWBsy4pDgXXdgiWPV5ICV-_n8-NvZdf3Zi-OrhWat6j4tSfK9tQgbOrgI0MC7PC3bY0pN6k/s320/DSC_0012.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7xBtRC4QOGt-FVhm9s3pUdjUv49Kjtomab8aZGZ7dvib33pOAE9DWE0i7l928K_Sbob3dto9x6RMrwm2oHVkjaGaeS_2zyEsganMi-4WPMQ239zSPtDOPjIZKyg3KGUrvfrG3bmtZjEY/s1600/DSC_0011.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475891674342860674" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7xBtRC4QOGt-FVhm9s3pUdjUv49Kjtomab8aZGZ7dvib33pOAE9DWE0i7l928K_Sbob3dto9x6RMrwm2oHVkjaGaeS_2zyEsganMi-4WPMQ239zSPtDOPjIZKyg3KGUrvfrG3bmtZjEY/s320/DSC_0011.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpRyfu5G7nDY7cOk35qhUo6XbKXjhyphenhyphenWcU_hIhQ2lmjPsGdOtpIvLFvoKo4hGJKTOdu03LE55iLxk4MLos0BvmDnVnGWsYWr0qLJZ1Q3ALAIJhFp8st4up2UqzV7SrZ8b3NqsbcE5XCuYE/s1600/DSC_0013.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475891261879393426" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpRyfu5G7nDY7cOk35qhUo6XbKXjhyphenhyphenWcU_hIhQ2lmjPsGdOtpIvLFvoKo4hGJKTOdu03LE55iLxk4MLos0BvmDnVnGWsYWr0qLJZ1Q3ALAIJhFp8st4up2UqzV7SrZ8b3NqsbcE5XCuYE/s320/DSC_0013.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivgpowc1TiZEvikm5V4nwop7W2dArfVgqFltG09ZjhouxRzqZxHGv6MkpWgy469njadAVfVcFQ0aP3KTPPjBv04ipOf-NIqtHXfsp_2qrxy2JQQZ1DS-uqlLljlhcHErPoMmUFpFXHunk/s1600/DSC_0014.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475891432710377570" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivgpowc1TiZEvikm5V4nwop7W2dArfVgqFltG09ZjhouxRzqZxHGv6MkpWgy469njadAVfVcFQ0aP3KTPPjBv04ipOf-NIqtHXfsp_2qrxy2JQQZ1DS-uqlLljlhcHErPoMmUFpFXHunk/s320/DSC_0014.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div>Sooo cute, right!

I love to make a big deal out of the girls' birthdays, and they happen to fall in the same week in May. It's so much fun this way, especially because they also have a girl cousin a year older than Sadie who shares the birthday week as well so we squish it all together and have a ton of fun.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Sadie's birthday is first and she wanted to go golfing. The golf course here was closed due to a golf tournament so we loaded up the car and went to Colorado to play their 9-hole course. It was so much fun being together and driving the carts like maniacs and everything but the WIND. Oh.My.the wind. It was the kind that blows spittle out of your mouth and rattles your eyelids. It sucked. And, I will blame the fact that we have no pictures of this day on the wind!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Cydnie's birthday is second and she chose bowling for her activity. Again, we had so much fun being together as a family and in all honesty, Cydnie kicked our butts at bowling (aside from Morgan, who we don't count cuz he has muscles and us girls dont.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We did get some pictures of this little outing!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Cydnie REALLY knows how to milk the birthday thing. We went to Kmart and it had been raining that day. She splashed in a big puddle and I said, "Don't do that." and she said, "But it's my birthday!" And then when we went bowling I told her to put the bowling shoes on and she put her foot in my lap and said, "You do it." and I said "No. You're big." And she said, "Birthday!" Ugh. Brat. :) I was happy when it was over! I had to remind her, you know tomorrow it won't be your birthday anymore!!</div><br />

<br />
(Sat) Worked til Sunday 0700<br />
0700-0845 - went home, did the girls hair, showered, got ready for church<br />
0900-1200 - went to church (fast Sunday for us, double-whammy) and taught the 5-year olds. .. In the middle of the night the night before I decided how fun it would be to let the kids frost and decorate cookies for their moms instead of cards. Because let's face it, every mom wants a cookie. ...<em>Note to self: ideas in the middle of the night regarding big plans for 5 year olds after no sleep should not always be trusted.</em><br />
1200 - went home and discovered Sadie had head lice. Spent the next hour combing out and destroying every single one we could find with our eyes.<br />
1300 - went to Wal-Mart ... (is YOUR head itching yet?) and got the necessary killing tools for blood suckers<br />
1310 - stopped at my mom's to wish her a Happy Mothers Day.<br />
1325 - went home and administered hair treatment (I mean, notice this took almost two hours. We combed and combed and sectioned off and combed some more. That kid has a RIDICULOUS amount of hair! ;) )<br />
1500 - cleaned kitchen, emptied dishwasher, fixed dinner<br />
1630 - FINALLY went to bed <br />
<br />
so I could go back to work @ 2300 and do it all again tomorrow.<br />
<br />
The duties of motherhood don't really take a vacation, huh!<br />
<br />
But I wouldn't trade any unpleasant motherly duty for anything! I love being a mom! My kids are the best in the world and they made me feel extra loved on this fabulous Mothers Day! Thank you girls for the wonderful cards and flowers!Wonderland Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16013861623276951637noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880448204385165102.post-26518953043130771652010-05-08T01:26:00.001-06:002010-05-08T01:29:21.187-06:00We've All Done This, Right?Raise your hand if you had a lemonade stand when you were a kid.<br />

They took the business on the road as a door-to-door operation too, but no success with that. We only have 2 neighbors who weren't already involved in the business, and neither of them were home. But! Total made for the day: $8.00!! And that is a fortune 500 business in the making, my friends! And another reason I LOVE LIVING IN JENSEN.... (one cute lady in the ward stopped twice!)<br />

We've been watching the eggs for a couple of weeks now and yesterday Sadie ran in the house screaming like she just won the lottery. We learned that when the mom gets nervous that you're getting near her eggs she starts flailing around and squacking like she has a broken wing. I could not believe how adorable this little fuzzy thing was. The urge for all of us girls to pick it up was nearly impossible to resist! We are excited to watch the other 3 come out and then to watch the little family grow! I wish they would stay forever!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
Today my fun co-worker and I did a health and safety fair in Vernal. We had so much fun! We made dumb jokes only dispatchers get and laughed way too much. Like when we put out a toy fire truck and a toy ambulance for display and some 2-yr-old kid stole the fire truck! For reals! And we just had a good time visiting with people in our profession who in normal life we have to be ... well, less fun. : ) We also had a great time talking to kids about when (and when not) to call 911 and teaching them what to expect if they ever have to do it.<br />
<br />
While we were at the booth, a lady came up and asked if she could ask a question. She asked her question, we answered it, and as she was about to walk away when she said, "You know, I had to call 911 a couple of months ago. My daughter was about to have a baby and she woke up with blood all over." As she continued talking, I started remembering. The daughter, who was 9 months along, woke up covered in blood and called her mom, who was an EMT. I had sent the ambulance and called the hospital to prep for an emergency C-Section. I remember when my shift was over that morning feeling sad. Bleeding that much at 9 months did not sound like it would end well. The next words out of her mouth were amazing! She said, "My daughter and her baby are here, would you like to meet them?" And I said, "OF COURSE!" The mom later returned with her daughter and BEAUTIFUL, healthy 2 month old baby.<br />
<br />
This may have been a once-in-a-lifetime happening for me. <strike>A lot of calls</strike> Most calls do not turn out the way we wish they would. And the chances of me ever meeting another person I talk to on the phone - and knowing it was them - they're small too. And even though it's a relatively small thing, to me it was special. A little reminder of what my job is about!Wonderland Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16013861623276951637noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880448204385165102.post-18956117121371948882010-04-23T22:45:00.000-06:002010-04-23T22:45:17.958-06:00Some stuff I've been doing<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My "food storage" room was pretty out of hand.

I turned 30. And you know what? It didn't kill me after all! :)<br />
<br />
<br />
The beginning of my birthday was AWESOME!! I got to go to the Regional Womens' Conference with the guest speaker Hilary Weeks. Loved it. Love her! We had had an opportunity last fall to see her at the Time Out for Women and it was sooo great so I was so excited that she came to Vernal. And we got to see her for a little bit longer period of time so it was amazing! Made me want to be a better mom and wife and daughter and try a little harder every day.<br />
<br />
After the conference though, reality started to sink in and I was afraid maybe my birthday had no where to go but down!<br />
<br />
I wasn't too excited to make the big transition so I decided to have some fun with it: We had a geriatric party at my house. A couple of us dressed up - I had on a red/white polka dot chiffon dress w/ knee highs showing under my dress and big white ugly sneakers on. Jada had on this hilarious shirt - it was sooo perfect and Alice, my other sister-in-law went all out as usual. I swear, any time we ask her to dress up I can't even tell who she is when she gets there!! She had balloons on under her bra and I don't know how she did it but they weren't even and everyone kept telling her they were crooked and she kept saying "When you get old things just start falling one at a time.." It was sooo funny. She had curlers in her hair and she had sprayed it all w/ red with Halloween haircolor. My friends also came to support me turning OLD. :)<br />
<br />
We played bingo and did a crossword puzzle with clues about old people and their pasttimes. :) We had lunch fingerfoods, jello (in a jello mold..okay it kinda didn't work but it was a good thought!), and cottage cheese and we ate on those tray-like styro plates that look like the ones you would find in a nursing home! We had so much fun. <br />
<br />
My favorite part was since we were playing bingo the girls got to play too. They had dressed up in their fancy dresses and participated in my big girl party. They loved it. And I loved having them. They are my sweeties and the whole reason turning 30 isn't such a terrible thing! <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Nope, I didn't take any pictures. I decided in the middle of dressing up like that that maybe I didn't want to look like an idiot on such a poignant day in my life....but then I thought, "Oh well!!" But still didnt' need pictures to document it! :)Wonderland Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16013861623276951637noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880448204385165102.post-9232366383044449822010-03-31T12:38:00.000-06:002010-03-31T12:38:58.262-06:00Our Little Vacation<div><br />

<br />
We had so much fun in St George this last week! We left last Sunday and came back Saturday. We took the girls down with us and they just had a blast!</div><br />
<div></div><br />
<div>The first day was Sunday; we mostly traveled that day - I slept because I got off @ 7 am. </div><br />
<div></div><br />
<div>The next day we woke up and hit the golf course! We had so much fun just being outside and enjoying the weather. We just hit balls on the driving range first - both girls were doing really well. I hit some good ones too - I was happy with myself. :) Then we went over to the putting greens and did a game where whoever got the closest to the hole out of the family won. Sadie put us all to shame. She was loving it! Cydnie's ball rolled clear off the side of the hill and she had to run down and chase it for a long time. We were all laughing. Then we told the girls, since there was no one else on the driving range, they could go pick up some of the balls they hit that didn't go very far and we would hit them again. Right when they got over there, the course turned on the sprinklers and sprayed them both. We made them think we did it on purpose. It was hilarious. Later the girls swam for about 2 hours. It really wasn't that warm, but they didn't seem to mind one bit. (I'm sooo mad - I took the camera to the pool twice and still forgot to get any pictures! Dangit!)<br />

<div>Tuesday I shopped around and caught up with a cousin for lunch. The girls swam and swam and swam for about 3 hours! I got in the hot tub and read a book but I wasn't about to swim - it was still too cold for that! Those girls are just crazy. Tuesday my parents came down for the conference too so I got to hang out w/ my mom too. </div><br />
<div></div><br />
<div>Tuesday night we went to a fancy dinner with the engineers who designed the plant that Morgan works with. They took us to the Anasazi Grill. It was different and fun. The engineers ordered us a fondue appetizer, and at the risk of sounding exactly like the po-dunk hillbilly from Jensen that I am, it was the first time I've ever had fondue at a restaurant. It was really good! We dipped our veggies in a smokey cheese fondue. Even the girls loved it. (They were gracious enough to let us bring them along, and were sweet to compliment how good they were. To which I replied, "They've been lectured for a solid week about this dinner!") The unique thing about this restaurant is that they bring you whatever you order: fish, steak etc. seared on both sides and then they bring it to you on a hotplate. Then you finish cooking it to your desired doneness. It was very interesting. Actually it was kind of stressful! There wasn't a plate that you put it on when you were finished cooking it, so I was afraid mine was going to get too done! I don't like my steak too done and dry. Plus the plate was kinda small and while I was trying to cook it a big strip fell off, landed on my lap and then bounced to the floor. Right on my new jeans! Dangit! The company made it way fun too. I hit it off with one of the wives and we had a good visit. She had chosen fish and ended up mostly burning it. It was kinda funny. </div><br />
<div></div><br />
<br />
Wednesday my mom and I took the girls to Pirate Island for the first time. It was really cute. We all liked it. They have water falls and a big screen tv showing a pirate movie and an all-you-can-eat pizza and pasta bar. Plus the arcade. It was really fun. Except for the waitress who had to dress up like a pirate and say, "ARRRRRighty mates!" After we ordered our drinks. Come on. :)<br />

<div>Thursday my mom and I met up with my cousin again for lunch, along with her mom. It was good to visit with family we never see otherwise.</div><br />
<div>That night we went to a steakhouse with my parents and Dean, from Morgan's work. We were all stuffed afterwards. We just went back to the motel. Oh! And we watched The Office and that new show the Marriage Ref. We thought it was pretty funny. And realized our spouses aren't that bad. haha.</div><br />
<div></div><br />
<div>Friday we left early and went up to Provo to spend the day and night with some friends - the Barkers there. We went to Carls Jr. for lunch and let the kids play. They have a really big play area. For dinner that night we went to my new favorite place: a Mongolian BBQ!! They have everything you can possibly think of and cook it in front of you - it is sooo good!! Cydnie and I tasted squid. Yeah. I was not impressed but she liked it - she took a huge bite and I bet she was chewing for 10 minutes before she could get it down! Very chewy! :) We had so much fun staying with Annie and Jeremy's family (as always) we watched a fun movie, ate lots of muddy buddies (as always) and yummy cherry Dr Pepper! Thanks again you guys, we love spending time with you!!</div><br />

We had a low-key Valentines as usual around here. We don't do much in terms of gifts for each other normall, and this year was no different. I always have big plans and no money! But that's okay. We did go out for the annual Stake-sponsored Valentine dinner and dance on Saturday night. I usually love going and this year I don't know if I was just tired or if I was not in the Valentine mood or what. The girls had been naughty all day - we had planned to go to lunch with my parents and they cried and whined and fought and wouldn't clean their room for five hours so we had to punish all of us and not go. That put me in kind of a bad mood, but they straightened up later and we decided to let them go to my moms while we went to the dance. We only stayed for maybe an hour though because I had worked the night before, and had to work at 11:00 again. So we didn't take advantage of the dancing, but I am always happy to go out to dinner w/ Morgan plus it was free! Can't beat that!<br />
<br />
Earlier in the week I had some girlfriends over for a Valentine brunch, too. That went off without a hitch, unbelievably! I made crepes with strawberries and other toppings. It was fun, and I think much-needed for all of us. For some reason, we all seem to be under a lot of stress right now. Maybe we feed off each other. :) or Maybe we all have the winter dol-drums. I think it's the latter. But we all had a great visit. (I forgot to take pictures, and I was bummed.)<br />
<br />
I was a slacker and didn't make sugar cookies this year! I am really disappointed - this is one of my traditions. I guess we'll have to make, I don't know, anti-groundhog sugar cookies or something. Maybe gory ones. :)<br />
<br />
I didn't even do much in the way of decorating, I'm not sure why. I'm telling you, I don't feel like myself! For like a month! I did make this however.<br />

If I didn't only have 3 days and a limited budget, it would've been even more...well, over the top. Someone has to go over the top, right? It's my job. :)<br />

<br />
I am not sure how to put onto paper what I'm feeling today. It seems I have not been being a very good person. I didn't realize I was hurting someone and it recently came to light. I have been coming across as someone who feels like I am better than other people and have been rude. I shouldn't be as surprised as I am, but I really didn't mean to act that way and didn't realize I was. I want to say to that person if she cares that I am truly sorry. And I want to say to other people who have been offended by my carelessness that I am sorry to you too. I know apologies without knowing what you've done are rather hollow, at least I've always thought so. But I am not kidding when I say I want to know what I am doing and who I am offending so I can set it right. I am completely serious about this - it has been a rough morning for me where I have been re-evaluating my life and my actions and I am not happy with what I see. I even called someone out of the blue and made a complete fool of myself trying to make sure she wasn't mad at me. (Sorry! I just truly want to fix this.)<br />
<br />
My first reaction to things like this is to withdraw. In order to fix it, just go away so I don't hurt people. I know, it's a very immature reaction, but we're being completely honest here, so there it is. I basically want to crawl in a hole. But you know what? I needed to hear it. What better time than the beginning of the new year to have this brought to my attention, right? Time to re-evaulate and re-focus on what's important.<br />
<br />
If I have offended you, I would love to talk to you about it. Not here. :) Call me, anytime. And I hope that I have opened my eyes and intend to do better.<br />
