2 Dozen.

Oh yeah, thursday... some have asked...

I turned 2 dozen.

it feels the same as 23. 

i'm almost a quarter-century old! holy wow!

i woke up (not so early, damon and i had stayed up late watching He's Just Not That Into You... and we actually both stayed awake through the whole thing!) and Damon made french toast. YUM! he even got Texas Toast to use- not just any old bread. it was sooo good. and pina colada yogurt- who knew?!?!  so Damon had to be at work at noon so i was putting away dishes while he went upstairs to change cause he was almost late... aaannndd... then he came downstairs in his bathing suit and a yamaka (sp?) instead of his scrubs. i was confused. he had taken the day off! so fun!

so we went golfing. we went mini golfing. he won the first game. i got myself soaking wet stubbornly trying to putt my ball out of water trap. but that was ok cause it was blazing hot. i won the second game.  it's good to keep things balanced. then we went to the pool cause it was soooo hot! and we laid out a little. but the clouds rolled in. so we went home and just hung out talking. mugging. decided to be productive or something. so we went and bought some steaks. and we grilled. they were so good. we hung out with the boys. we may have watched some arrested development? and then we.... i'm trying to remember now. i think after that we were trying to think of something else to do. and we ended up taking so much time doing that that it started getting later and later and later. so we just watched a movie. and that was fine by me. luckily we are pretty ok just mugging and watching movies. a lot.  (oh, i'm sorry, you don't know what mugging is? hmmm... i love that post. it's so truth. i liiiiiiikkeee a lot holding damon's hand.)

and he made me an adventure book. if you haven't seen Up (go now!), you probably won't get it. but it was super sweet and cute and it had pictures and pictures of us and lots and lots of sweet words that i feel blogger isn't special enough for me to share them on. let's just say... it was the sweetest gift ever. 

and that. was that. =)

now really. go get tickets for Up.

i'm getting so puppy hungry. i neeeeeeeed one. how could anyone not need that little thing??

round 2: hiking

Damon and I got to have an all-day date yesterday when we both were off of work.  First we went hiking up provo canyon. it was a perfect day cause it wasn't too hot- just in the 70's and there was some cloud cover, so it was just nice, and the mountains are SO green right now. on the way back down we (damon) spotted...

we also went and saw the move Up, which was sooooo cute. really really, my favorite movie in a long time. (don't spend the money to see it in 3d, there's really nothing cool in that aspect) it made me want a dog reaaaal bad. i cried. (a lot) i laughed. it was great. 

and we had dinner together

and we watched arrested development (though lately i have been falling asleep ever time we go to the boys' house to watch movies or tv)

and we went to the hot tub. and swam too. my favorite.

(he's great)

round 1: texas

here are some pics from home. we had a water camera that we took to seaworld that i still have to get developed, just haven't gotten around to it... who develops film anymore? hopefully soon...

mindless chatter

I'm doing nightwatch... I have like 9 hours to go. not good. I took a pretty long nap after work today but I still feel so tired. its gonna be a long night.

tomorrow is the provo farmer's market. I'm so excited. I love farmer's markets! hoping to get some good fruits and veg's (i don't like either of those words). I'm trying to eat good right now since I was so rotten at home.

we're going hiking monday. yay for nature. its still nice and cool here- only in the high 70's low 80's.

andrea and zac, I really wish y'all were here. I love your blog and I think I watch that mother's day slideshow every few days.

I have nothing inteesting to say. sorry. I'm just bored enough to type it out for people to have to read. i'll have to post my pics from texas next post.

also, catherine is amazing. she came out to the phoenix airport with in & out for a little picnic during my layover on wednesday. it was great.

blah.

i love seeing LDS commercials in texas... 

before i joined the church, i used to see this one commercial allll the time- i didn't know anything about the church, but i think everytime i was watching tv, this one came on- it was a husband and wife, and they went to see a little lonely old lady in the nursing home. she was all sad, staring out the window, and they gave her a carnation. the man was wearing a blue an white striped shirt. the wife was wearing a peach colored blouse. later in the commercial, the man is laying in the hammock (same striped shirt, mind you) and the wife comes and puts little newborn twins in his arms. it is... so sweet. haha. 

i worked in the mtc some during my sophomore year, in the call center. it was the funnest thing, you got to wear a cool headset and people would call in and their info pops up and you just pretty much get to tell them all about what you believe and at the end you bore your testimony and hoped that they asked for 'representatives' to deliver their video instead of having it mailed. and after commercials aired there would be a little burst of phone calls in an area. it was cool.

ps, does anybody else love the movie, Corina Corina? i sure do. 

ok, i'm out, i'm leaving for san antonio for the evening and then back to provo tomorrow!

I'm going to Chuy's tonight!!!

texas thunderstorms... running across a park in a douwnpour with a 40 pound 3-year old on my back... only to make it to the parking lot right when the sun comes back out and it gets back up to 93... real thunder, and real lightening, not that sissy stuff that utah has.

falling asleep to the smell of RAID... cause i walked into the back room when i got here to find a huge disgusting waterbug right in the middle of the floor. my biggest fear. oh gross, i can't even stand this on my page, but i want everyone to see the trials i have here. these are texas' only downfall.

the high tuesday here is 102. i know, right?

(my dear damon, i miss you. thanks for going to mexico so i could have a good excuse to come home. please don't come back with swine flue. )

did i mention i'm going to Chuy's tonight? i know whoever is reading this is jealous- deluxe chicken enchiladas and creamy jalapeno! oh, i'm so excited!!

up to round rock tonight for the next couple of days. anybody up in the austin area, text me

uhhh...

just got back from terminator. 

i don't even know what just happened.

he's lucky i like him a lot.

(2.5 more days, i am craving chuy's SO bad right now)
