SLC Wedding Bells

July 12, 2009 · 1 Comment

I just got back from a weekend in Salt Lake City at Madeleine’s & Mike’s wedding. What a great way to spend 3 days! The wedding couldn’t have been more beautiful, the bride more gorgeous, and I couldn’t possible have cried any more than I did through out the whole ceremony! What a  privilege to be Maddie’s maid of honor!

Hippity Hop!!

July 2, 2009 · 5 Comments

So, I’m having this crazy horrible nightmare last night, and wake up with my heart pounding, only to hear this weird creaking at the foot of my bed-making my heart race even faster. I lay there for a few minutes trying to figure out what the heck the sound is, and finally get the courage to turn on my light….and there is a GIANT frog hopping around my floor. A FROG. IN MY BEDROOM. I shake Jay awake and tell him that I was having a bad dream and now theres a mean ‘ol frog in our room….well, Jay doesn’t do well with being woken up, so he snaps “Don’t you dare wake me up when I’m sleeping!” (He claims to not remember any of this) So, I am forced to  chase a huge slimy frog around my bedroom in my pajamas, finally managing to catch it with a giant cup and toss it outside. The question that begs to be asked is, just how did the frog end up in my room? Whatever the answer is, all I have to say is- GROSS!!!!
