I saw this on a blog a few weeks ago and ever since it has been popping up all over the place. It's hilarious! If you haven't seen it you should definitely watch it. I feel bad for the kid but it's just so darn funny!



"Is this real life?"

I bet you're all wondering how this girl, this girl who LOVES Valentines day, spent Feb 14, 2009. Well, I'll show you. Better yet I'll show you my weekend in pictures & clip art. It'll be fun. :)

I spent the entire weekend looking like this...except I was laying down more often then sitting up.

I ate a lot of this..

And even more of these...

I used an entire box of these...And I watched the whole 4th season of this...
Yeah, I had the flu. It was amazing. I say had because, although I still feel quite awful, I feel 100 times better now then I did on Friday Saturday & Sunday. I have to say that even though I spent Valentine's Day in bed it was still a good day/weekend. My family called to check on me many times. My sister brought me soup & otter pops (which I fully believe brought my voice back, thanks Sare!) I got to talk to Chris a lot which was nice to get my mind off of the whole feeling like I'm dying thing and the brightest part of my Valentine's Day (can it get any brighter you ask!?)

Ah, roses! My friend Daniel brought me roses! Thank you so much Daniel. Although it probably didn't show through the hacking and glazed stare they made my day and continue to every time I look at them. I have to say, flowers can make any day better. I have gotten flowers when I was sick, now for Valentine's Day, for my birthday and once, on a random day, just to thank me for being a friend (now that'll make a girl cry). Without fail, every time they make me feel special. I think it's because it is really nice to know that someone thought of me, cares about me and wanted me to know it. Anyway, those pink roses made my hacking/nose blowing/ibuprofen popping Valentine's Day feel exactly like what Valentine's Day is to me.

My life lately

Well, I'm still moving back east. Two weeks and that hasn't changed so I think it is set in stone now. :) Actually my plans are really coming together and I feel really good about my decision. I still have my moments of sadness when I think of leaving people that I love so much and I still have moments of fear but nothing that I can't handle. My plans to drive across the country are pretty set now. The date we are leaving is the only thing we haven't decided yet but I know which week and have it narrowed down to two days. The best part is I know who the other half of my "we" is! It's Corinnie! It just makes so much sense. We wanted to go on another trip this year but didn't think it would happen. We had a blast in Boston and know that we can spend many days together and like each other even more afterward. And on top of it all I think it's just going to be really good for me to leave Utah in Utah. As much as I wanted Chris or Allison to drive with me because I wanted to hang out with them for a few extra days, I think it will be good for me, very symbolic. And Corinne totally gets me. She offered to drive out of Utah for me if I'm too busy crying to do it myself but also totally gets that I may need to do it myself. We are a bunch of crazies but that's why she is one of my best friends. We completely get each other. So there it is. I leave the last week in April and I'm driving with Corinne and we are going to Nauvoo on our way back east. All amazing things!

Besides east coast plans I have just been living life as usual. I've played with Sarah & Austin some which is always a blast. Here are a few pictures, the first ones are of Austin playing with my cell phone. Whenever I walk in the door now the first thing he does is grab my purse. He knows that is where the electronics are. He also knows that the headphones fit in the cell phone and if Auntie Beth is feeling especially nice, there will be music coming out of those headphones. Oh and check out the adorable shirt he is wearing. I bought it from my friend Joanie. Check out her website! http://www.bitsycreations.com/ She is amazing!!

The second set of pictures are of Sarah and I after getting our hair did. We look a little like twins, but we're okay with that. It just means we both have fantastic taste. Sarah hadn't gotten her haircut since a month or so after Austin was born (September 2007) so this was a huge change for her. She looks amazing!

Pictures!!

Okay, I promised pictures a long time ago, so for all of you that have been holding your breath in anticipation, the time has come.

Visiting with my Joanie and her amazing family...this was the best of the bunch and Joshua took a lot. We're not especially photogenic.

Sleepover with Corinnie. We made cookies and peanut butter sundaes. We were sick by the end of the night but we sure had a blast!! Oh and we took these pictures of ourselves, we're getting really good at that.
Bonding time with the former Bishop girls and Laur.

Oh, and we can't forget the ever enjoyable cousin day. I love hanging out with these two.Once my mom and I got to Utah it was family time with the Webb's, which I absolutely loved. A picture of the center of our world. (I let him do whatever he wants, including playing with my brand new cell phone don't worry he's gentle.)

Hey Valentine!

Okay, so I love Valentine's Day.  I love it a lot.  We all know that I'm addicted to chick flicks & cheesy love songs so why wouldn't I love this holiday?!  Today I read my friend Shauna's blog and I just had to link to it.  She described my feelings to the T.  How do you feel about Valentine's Day?  Do you have any special traditions?
