So, Funny Story

Twas a few days before Christmas and I was about to leave the baren land of the mountains and head to much greener pastures. (seriously, they really are greener). Rushing and Dashing and Thrashing all about... well, perhaps not thrashing... my sister, brother-in-law, and I scrambled about. The minute we began packing the car, swooosh! The wind began. Down came the rain, sleet, snow, and hail. Crack went the thunder as the sky was alighted.

From center street to parkway was a half hour drive on the interstate. From Provo to Salt Lake City was a three hour drive. We made it home 23 hours later. It should have only taken 18.

The way back was even better. We were crusing along. I took over the wheel a quarter to two a.m. I continued to cruise. Then all of the sudden... ICE!!! And they closed the interstate in Wyoming! We were only (in good conditions) five and a half hours away from Provo! So at 4:30 we found a little corner of a parking lot, slightly away from the myriad of semi's piling up all over the town. We tried to sleep- kinda hard and rather cold. At 7 in the morning, the interstates were still closed. We went to go find a breakfast joint to have something to eat and defrost in. We found the local hotspot... seriously, standing room only.

While we were there, they opened the interstate again. So we headed out again, I was at the wheel. We were clipping along at a rather astonishing speed- 70 mph. It got a little icy in parts, but I handled it just fine. Until...



Part two to come...

Uh... No Comment

Me-a, Maria, Dressed In Yella

The Newest, Hippest Jump Roping Game Around

Inspired by the life of well, me:

"Once a girl was so contraire,

She moved down south away from Fargo fair.

Landing in the Utah state,

She totally met a different fate.

Sweet and innocent she came

Now myriad of catastrophes are her blame.

How many laws did she break?

1,2,3,4,…….

1. It is against the law to fish from horseback.

2. It is illegal not to drink milk.

3. It is illegal to detonate any nuclear weapon.

4. Birds have the right of way on all highways.

5. You're not allowed to sell beverages containing more than 3.

6. It is a felony to persistently tread on the cracks between paving stones on the sidewalk

of a state highway.

7. It's legal for restaurants to serve wine with meals, but only if you ask for the wine list.

8. It is considered an offense to hunt whales.

9. Boxing matches that allow biting are not allowed.

10. It is illegal to cause a catastrophe

11. In Provo, Throwing snowballs will result in a $50 fine."

Why, I do believe I owe a whole lot of money….oopps.

A Sailor

My brother graduated from the Navy Boot Camp!

This past weekend, my parents and I headed to Illinois for my brother's graduation from Navy boot camp. It was so good to see him (and if I may say so, he looked quite nice in his Navy uniforms!!). When we were in the graduation hall waiting for the graduation to begin, my mother, father, and I were so excited to see him. Luckily, he was the adjutant of his division which basically meant he shouted out a lot of different commands during the ceremony, so we were able to see him before the actual ceremony began.

I thought it was rather fun how tall he was compared to everybody else and my goodness, he can yell. We had a nice weekend together. We went to Six Flags (and rode on almost every roller coaster and got sunburnt) and played pool and did lots of fun things. But the most important thing was that we were able to spend time with him.

So, I just wanted to let you all know because I am really proud of him!!!
