- he is sensitive to others feelings
- he accepts people for who/what they are
- he laughs at my jokes
- he has always been a talented artist

this fabric collection. it would look real nice in our bedroom me thinks.

dear urban outfitters,

why?

sincerely,

your disappointed viewer

its a good day when--

you get a raise at work.
and your husband buys you a spice rack that you have been wanting for a month.
and your husband takes you out to a fancy dinner.

all without asking.

we conquered.

petersons+oldhams+state fair=love.

desperate much?

friday night we decide to accompany our good friends rob and lindsay to the cheesecake factory.

40 minutes later, we arrive in parking lot.

10 minutes later, we find a spot to park.

3 minutes later, we are standing in line to put our name on the waiting list.

3 minutes later, we are told to come back in 15 minutes to get assigned a beeper.

13 minutes later, we are back in line to get assigned to a beeper.

3 minutes later, we are told there are no beepers and to come back in 15 minutes.

(are you following still?)

10 minutes later, we finally get a beeper.

1 hour later, our beeper vibrates and lights up.

8 minutes later, we are seated.

20 minutes later, our order is taken.

30 minutes later, we get our food.

5 minutes later, our waiter asks us if everything is 'ok' and then walks away before we are able to respond.

20 minutes later, we order a slice of cheesecake.

10 minutes later, we get the slice of cheesecake.

3 minutes later, we get the check.

1 minute later, we left a tip for a $1.03.

thanks to rob, lindsay and my hubby for making it all worth while. despite our bad experience we still had a fun trip and some delayed, but dang good food.

my carpenter

i wanted a bench for the end of our bed, so my beloved husband drew up beautiful plans for a bench that would dual as a storage unit. the wood was purchased and the tools were located. then the work began.

TA DA! he did it! i am so proud. after a whole day devoted to creating this masterpiece, my husband has finished his first work of carpentry. things like this remind me how lucky i am to have such a determined and talented husband.

YARD SALE

remember when we had a yard sale to get rid of all the crap that we had accumulated from our wedding and being newlyweds, and then our friend showed up with all the brand new high tech, high demand, 'great find' items to make our yard sale "better", but then all the hispanics of provo showed up and our new bakeware, frames, designer jeans and furniture got totally dissed? oh ya, and remember how we got totally finagled by middle-aged lds women wearing shirts with tassles, who just grabbed piles of our stuff for $5 and ran off with it or forgot to pay at all?

ya. that was our weekend.
