Recently, Brian's oldest sister Andrea came to Utah for a long visit and we (well, mostly I) got to spend a lot of time with her and her family. In fact, Brian talked them into staying an extra day so Brian could play with Rich. They are friends. Brian doesn't have an older brother, and Rich doesn't have a younger brother, so I think they kind of fill that void in each other's lives. Tender with a capital T.
Brian and I have season passes to Lagoon. I love Lagoon. I want to live there. I have been to Lagoon A LOT this season. Brian... not so much.
We have gone to Logan several times for slumber parties with Brian's dad. Our most recent trip consisted of Zoey getting her paw tangled up in the weeds, which got stuck in her paw, and is now infected :-( and she is taking doggy antibiotics. Who knew they made doggy antibiotics?
I was cursed with some sort of the flu last week which had me achy all over the first day, and a belly ache for 4 days after that. It was not awesome. Let's just say that I had to leave work early one day and I'll leave it up to you to figure out why...
I, for the last year that we have been in our ward, have been blessed to be in the nursery teaching the 2 year olds. I was pretty butt-hurt at first when they called us in the nursery because we were new in the neighborhood and I knew that being in the nursery I wouldn't get to know anyone my age. But I really love my calling and I love the kids. They are so cute and fun. I will be sad to see them go in December when they move up to the next nursery. Yes... our ward has not one, not two, not even three, but FOUR nurseries. I'm in the not-quite-youngest class. There are 200+ kids in our ward... Please take a moment to ponder what our sacrament meeting is like...
Last month, Brian sold his rifle to a friend of his, and a few weeks ago, bought a new sniper rifle. Don't ask, I'm still trying to figure it out myself. He's really enjoying it and wants to get more into hunting.
So here's a funny story. I was driving us to Sandy to have dinner at Brian's mom's on Sunday, and as we're turning from I-15 to 215, we drive up to this truck that has a sticker in the back window that says "Got boobs? Show me!" So sure enough, as we drive past this truck, Brian, lifts up his shirt to show his "boobies". Wow, we laughed for a long time about that one!!
The same day as the "boob" incident, we ate dinner at Brian's mom's house. Burgers and corn on the grill, Yum! Later that night, we were watching tv when Brian gets up to get a snack. I saw him come back with a big bite taken out of an even bigger cookie. (Anyone that knows me, and knows my fondness of treats knows where this is going). So I said to Brian
"where did you get that?"
And he replied "get what?"
"cookie... I want a bite"
So Brian starts walking over with his cookie and says "tell me if you can see what kind it is". I go to take a bite out of it, but before I can sink my teeth into this treat I discover what it REALLY is. It was a freakin hamburger patty from dinner!!! GROSS!! Brian for a "snack" was having a cold hamburger patty. Yeah, he and his mom that that was REALLY funny. In my defense, it was dark where I was sitting. I should have known, Brian wouldn't have offered to share a treat with me, he would have told me to get my own.
On Saturday, I participated in the American Heart Association's heart walk. Beneficial Financial Group is a sponsor every year, so we go to Sugar House park and walk a 5K for those who have suffered, or are suffering from some sort of heart condition. My mom, my aunt, and her girls came to the walk with me.
After receiving his Master Tech, Brian has been featured in the Acura professionals 2008 calender. They posted his picture and a little blurb about him for the month of November. Way to go, Brian!
A few upcoming events we have planned:
A party for ourselves for living in our house for one year! Woohoo! You are all invited. Saturday the 20th in the evening. Bring your own meat and we'll throw it on the grill!
A trip to Portland for a baby blessing and a baptism
More fun than we can handle!

200 kids! That is crazy. When we lived in Riverton/Herriman area we had three nurseries too, so must have had like 200 kids. The story about the "boobies" has been the funniest story I've heard in a long time! Loved it!
LOL!f HAHA, the hamburger pattie was the funniest thing! I can see it play over and over in my head and just keep laughing my head off. Your right, you should've known better then Bri sharing a treat with you!
I have to disagree with Jenni, I think Brian showing the trucker his boobies is the funniest thing! I love him and his sense of humor when he's not a freakin grouch! Miss you guys
Oh my freak, I couldn't stop laughing at Brian flashing his boobs to some random trucker!!! I hope that wasn't the same trucker that knocked over the overpass in American Fork, because he was distracted by some guy flashing him :)
Hooray for updates! Funny stories! I am sure that trucker was NOT disappointed! ;) That is too funny. Sorry you were down and out for a few days. The flu is the worst. And I feel ya about the 200 kids in the ward. That is what mine is like. 5 nurseries! It's crazy, during sacrament meeting you have to literally focus really hard to pay attention to the speaker!
I love the "boob" story...I laughed out loud on that one and Trent gave me a weird look! :) I'm glad you've rejoined the blogging world!
