First Snow

We finally get home at 1 in the morning from a weekend in Provo after getting lost because we took a wrong turn- it was hard to see with it snowing.

We step out of the car onto our driveway and the snow is perfect. The moon is shining, the snow is glowing and the world is quiet. It was one of those moments where you feel like you are the only ones on the planet, it was so peaceful.

Jay suggested we should build a snowman. We threw caution to the wind and bundled up and built a snow...woman. (The whole man thing just wasn't working out with the huge behind so we added some things and put twig hair on her head and she was perfect. )

I realized something that night. I realized that sometimes it may not be the most ideal time and it may be a little irresponsible (we had church at nine the next morning) but it's so worth it. To do something crazy and unplanned and spontaneous. I loved it!

The Jensens are awesome!
They had a surprise dinner for me with chicken alfredo pasta. Then Nancy and Mandi made up a song for me to the tune of Pretty Woman. The title was Tooele Woman. It was pretty good actually.


Mandi got me some hot coco mug and some cds-I love it. And Nancy but together all these recipes! I am so excited to get cookin'.

Then I got the famous birthday banner that is used for everyone's b-days!
And I got a famous Garrett random card that said

happy birthday cereal.

with a little stick figure apparently eating the birthday cereal....
I was confused but apparently that's what he does all the time for everyone's b-days - so I'm pretty much part of the family now.

Then I bought some new cds- one of which is taylor swift's amazingness. Then I got a new chain to go with my necklace pieces!

And I felt so loved because all these people wrote on my facebook wall, which might sound funny but I just loved that all these people remembered me on my day!!!

Later that week I was able to go down and see my family for another spectacular celebration- My dad bought us tickets to see HP7P1 (Harry Potter) which I was so stoked about! We took pictures by Harry with some straws- even my dad got into it. ha ha ha!



Then we went shopping!!!


Then my sister-in-law who lives in Montana sent me a present which was the cutest thing ever. She found out what colors my kitchen and bathroom were and made some red magnents for my fridge and some yellow light-socket-covers with turquoise buttons for the light switches in the bathroom. They are adorable.

Thanks everyone for an amazing b-day week!

Me? A Junkie?

I have a confession. I am a sweepstakes junkie.
I know, I know. I would have told you but it's
one of those things you hear about other people
being. It's never you, right?
And maybe I'm actually not.
Maybe it's just a phase....


It all started with the McDonald's monopoly thing.
Jay got the one piece for the million dollar Parkway.
I laughed thinking, "How ridiculous!" But later found
myself talking to people about it, making plans to
split the money if they ended up with the second
piece.

Then came The Office with a special code word that
comes up during the commercial break. You then
enter it on the website. Balla-bing balla-boong.
I could win 10,000 buckaroos.

Then Wally world told me that I could win 1,000 greens
to complete a survey. So guess what I found myself
doing this morning? Pathetic.

I'm not becoming one of those crazy people who thinks
I'm going to win big. Really....

But what is that smell?

A new car perhaps?

Am I the only one who does this?
Please tell me you....
Ha wait! If I am the only one, the more chances
I will win!
I hope you all think it's crazy to enter! ha ha!
You all think I'm crazy right?!
Good.
