The Dentist

I hate the dentist.  Wait let me rephrase that, I love what dentists do but I hate how it has to be done.  I just have never been comfortable sitting in that chair with the bright light shining in my mouth and up my nose, feeling paranoid that there might be something they can see up there!  I always wear black.  I learned in High School, when I used to sweat from being nervous, that black is the best color to wear to hide your sweat.  It is disgusting, but true.  I bet Jennifer Anniston got the 411 on that.  Anyways, the gum check is the worst part of the appointment, I always wonder how annoyed the assistant must get with me ever time my body flinches and I make a face that says, "That hurt."  I guess the point I am trying to get across is that I do not enjoy going to the dentist at all, but I truly do appreciate all that they do for my mouth.  

Birthday Confession

I am officially a year older now!! Hooray! The BIG 23. I was thinking that 23 is a good number to be, that is until I saw the picture of me blowing out my candles... Look at my cheeks! How do they expand like that?!  I am seriously scared to see what next year will bring.  I gave that my all, blew out every candle! I remember how I used pose for the "Blowing out the candles picture" and barely blew enough air out to get one candle, just so I wouldn't look like a monkey.  Guess I forgot that this year!  Am I the only one who did that?  

I love family traditions! Icing shortbread nuggets has been in our family since before I was born.  I remember introducing them to Danny last year, and was so offended because he didn't think they were "amazing" like I said they were.  What is his problem?... absolutely nothing because since then I have come to learn that any person outside our family doesn't think anything special about these delicious cookies!  It is the fun memories and yearly tradition of icing them that makes them so tasty and something we all look forward to every year!!... so now, a year later, Danny is part of the family and thinks they are amazing :)

Lagoon Day

We went to Lagoon the last day it was open for the season, which we now know is the best day to go! The weather was perfect, lines were 5 minutes long, and we got to do Frightmares at night. Half way through the day we went our to our car watched The Office and took a nap... so pretty much the best day ever!

We just thought these were hilarious

California

I went to Cali for a work seminar with my favorite coworkers, Brooke and Jill...  

...and yes the highlight was a nice bike ride on the boardwalk, those huge seats were awesome! It was my first trip away from Danny, so pretty big deal!  Everyone keeps telling me that this honeymoon stage will pass, does it have to?!

Halloween

 

Danny just didn't understand why none of the kids wanted to go to him?

We also dressed up for work, I wasn't too stoked for it but it turned out way fun.  My favorite costumes were tweedle dee and tweedle dum...  Brooke and Jill were such good sports!  

Seriously, I know I graduated forever ago but I still have cavemen pride!  I know Danny will have it one day too...  Anyways my little sisters and I went to Payson to watch my brother, Devin, compete for first in the marching band.  Devin is in the drum line and they are amazing!  They took everything in Payson, and just got back from Vegas and took everything from there as well. I have never really appreciated the marching band thing until my brother became apart of it, but let me tell you it takes great talent to do what these kids do!  Marching, counting, playing their instrument, moving around the field in different places, all at the same time, it really is so cool to watch!  Devin has dedicated so much of his time and sacrificed a lot to do what he does, and for how good they are it pays off!  I am so proud of my brother!  They are going to nationals in a couple of weeks and things are looking really good for them, I have to say it... GO AF!!
