We're here!

Just a quick note to let people know we pulled into town Saturday night as planned. I spent the next two days having a panic attack. Go figure!

Happy, happy...Birthday Baby!!!

My cute husband's 26th birthday is TOMORROW! (How are we still so young, and older than I thought I was at the same time?) He's so dang cute. I learned a good lesson in the two weeks we were apart this month. I am still totally and completely in love with this man! I like to talk to him, be near him, everything is better when he is there. The following is purely for my benefit....

*Sigh*

All Alone in the Moonlight!

Memories

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

My Twin

My friend Stefanie from work and I are both leaving our jobs soon. We feel bad, because we're abandoning our other work friend, Tiffany. So as a goodbye present we decided we needed to leave ourselves in "Barbie" form in her office, so she'll always have us around at work! So at work today we're leaving the dolls we picked out as the one closest to us on her desk. This was the one I thought was the closest:

Christie Part 1

(I'm really not angry in this pic, I just can NOT smile,

or even look normal without showing my teeth,

and I was trying to smile like barbie.)

Christie Part 2

What do you think? Like the same person? I did cut the barbie's hair so it would be the right length. I'd have given her highlights, but I didn't think that would work. I also photoshopped that first picture.... as if you couldn't tell. I didn't actually want to put a lot of make-up on, and there were bags under my eyes and zits on my face. I love you photoshop.

Happy 4th!

A Box Story

So yes, I will be updating everyone with every minute detail of my packing and moving process. Let's call it 'misery loves company'. So as any good girl would in the age of the 'University of Google' I have thoroughly researched packing technique and theory. I am now fully licensed to instruct you all in how it should be done - in case you didn't catch it before, I've looked up articles online. It pretty much makes me an expert in the field. (Why is it so much harder to write sarcasm.)

I have three tips, in picture-list form.

#1
Never leave stacks of boxes precariously in the middle of high traffic areas.

#2
Write instructions for lifting and the care of the contents on the outside of each box.
This will keep you from straining your back, turning the box upside down,
or throwing fragile items into your truck carelessly.

#3
Always, Always, Always label each and every box with the room
it should go in your new house and a brief description of the specific contents.

Packing is not to be taken lightly. You should always take care and be thoughtful.

But seriously, I'm all alone here now. (Oh no! Now the pervs reading my blog will know that! eek.) John is in Logan and started working today. He's hanging out with his friend Reed right now, and I spent most of my evening packing boxes.... Hmmmm, something's fishy about this situation. Ok, the truth is it's my fault I'm alone here packing boxes, because it was my idea to stay longer in Cedar City before I left my job and to give myself more time on the packing issue. I am however having second thoughts about my brilliance. I haven't been away from John for more than an evening or two since we've been married, and to be honest, I liked it that way. Sigh. I'm so whooped.

I'm Done With School...What's With Me and Tests?

You Are Jasmine!

Independent and adventurous. You don't want much; just to break out of the guilded cage society has put you in and experience life to the fullest. Following orders isn't really one of your strong points, and you would rather live a life of poverty than being forced into something that you hate.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

So I guess I'm just glad I'm not Ursula, which for a moment I thought I might turn out to be. If this were a photo compare thing I'm pretty sure that she'd be my match.
