This post is mostly for my mom, but i guess i figured posting the pics is better than emailing them to her. My little bro is currently just past half way through serving his mission in (right now) Cloverdale CA!! He sent me this pics a while back so I thought I'd share them.

Highway 1 AMAZING Coastal Views

Well, I hope you enjoy!! The last letter I received he sounded good, saying he's had more people to teach lately- so that's good. Love you bro!!

Its about that time of the year!!!!!

Yes, you all know it! Its when the air starts to be crisp and the leaves start to fall. It's when men start to day dream about how other men will do on Sunday. Its when men start to yell at TV's and demand that their player get the football. A time when husbands are so intensely looking at their teams stats that they drown out any other distractions even though their wives ask if he would like to go antique shopping next weekend and he is so out of it that all he says yes. Yes, it is true, it is fantasy football time. Oh such a glorius time!

This year is no exception. Michael Phelps just finished competing for 8 Olympic gold medals. Well with his glory in mind I plan to achieve such fantasy glory it will marvel the world, or those who play fantasy football. I know there are a lot of nea-sayers out there. I feel confident though with all the leagues I'm in, that I will leave with a gold medal! How many you may ask?

ESPN.com - two leagues (Los Hermanos Group from Utah, Friends I grew up with in Wisconsin)

Yahoo.com - three leagues (Two leagues with friends I grew up with in Wisconsin and finally another with brothers and brother-in laws and friends)

Oh, also if you need anyone else just let me know. I think I can squeeze a few more in! Sorry Trish I'm going to busy for the next couple of monts, see you then!

my latest quilt

This was a project i did for work a few weeks ago. It's displayed in the store and online until the fabric sells then i get to keep it. It's not my best work but in order to get the fabric for free i do the pattern my boss asks, no complaints here. She even quilted it for me (which was very nice of her). too bad they didn't take a pic of the border it's a really cute stripe and I must say I did an excellent job for my first project mitering the corners of a border- matching stripes on a 45 deg angle is not the easiest job in the world.

done and DONE

Well I finished last night. Now I might be able to get to bed before 3am. I know, kidof lame that i stayed up that late and it still took me almost a week to read it- I really liked it. It has been a really fun book/series to read and its really hard for me to NOT obsess about something I like. now i'll just have to wait for the movie :)

my new form of transportation

So, this morning I woke up as usual. got ready, as usual. and started a little online work. . . . as usual. (here comes the not-so-usual part) knock knock knock. Let's be honest. No one knocks on our door. The two visitors we've ever had, a. we knew were coming over or b. were close enough friends that they didn't knock. I jump of my all to comfy rocking chair (which had been coveted for years now and my husband was sweet enough to order it as my birthday present and hide it in the spare bathroom until my day) and find a police officer at my door.

He was given our name and address to follow up a possible police report. *insert look of confusion* He then gives me a number to call dispatch and talk to them. Apparently there was a vehicle recovered this morning in my name, with utah liscense plates, a white honda civic. Now would be the time where I run down the stairs and lo and behold: no car in the parking lot. Yes, our car was stolen last night from our apartment complex, driven about 4 miles away from our place and stripped of it's valuables, which apparently consits of the car's computer, cata- somthing converter, stereo, a few cd's, Michaels baseball card collection and who knows what else. There also may have been some damage to the steering column, we won't know the extent for sure until later this week and it gets to a shop. The car was deemed "undrivable" so, it had to be towed to a yard where we pay per-day until its released. To spare you some details: this sucks.

So, from now til who knows when these little piggy's are my new form of transportation. (do you love my tan lines?)

Moral of the story: Don't get your car stolen.

Note to person who stole our car: I hate you.

Yes, this is the second time this particular car has been stolen. GGRRRRRRR!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to, well . . . . ME!!! So, can I just tell you I love birthday's !?! Particularly my own, but you know. Some thing about them. just fabulous. See, its four am and instead of sleeping, i am smiling (and blogging) about how great the next twenty hours will be. crazy you say, well you wouldn't be the first and thank you. I kindof like the label crazy. I'm very excited to play the 'birthday' card. I, opossed to others, really enjoy sunday birthday's because it really becomes a birthday weekend - almost like two birthdays in one. :) I possibly am rambling now, but thanks to all who already have, and will yet wish me a happy birthday. I feel very blessed to have such a fabulous family and friends. I have a feeling 25 is going to be a good year!!
