Holly is a flake.

Holly has:

Incurred three different library fines in the past few days.
Went to a bridal shower on the wrong day.
Completely missed another bridal shower because she didn't check her mail often enough.
Didn't buy bread at the grocery store so she doesn't know what Bryan has been making his sandwiches on.
Made a disgusting dinner.
Forgot to make dinner the next day.
Has procrastinated memorizing marching band music.
Forgot to go to a presidency meeting.
Went home sick from work.
Managed to stay in one piece anyway.

Zoooo!

The company Bryan is doing his internship rented the zoo for a night (apparently that's possible) and gave all their employees two free admission tickets, free dinner, and free rides on the carousel and train. Awesome, right?

I wonder who the first snake was who figured this out. "Oh my gosh! If I lay like this, I won't fall off the branch! Yes!"



And this little guy. He looked so sad!





mmm... pickles and ice cream...

10 points for Bryan

I came home from work the other night, to the following gem. It was written on toilet paper:

"Honey, thanks for doing so much. Working late, shopping, laundry... you must feel pooped. I must say, you are on a roll. I'm so happy urine my life. If you ever feel unraveled, know that I love you and I hope you stick with me forever. No ifs, ands, or butts. :)"

He may be a potty-mouth, but he's my potty-mouth.

February 19

Heidi updated her blog, and since I want to be Heidi, I will update mine too.

I'm going to summer school to hurry graduation along, and it’s kind of like, “Ha! It’s summer and everyone else is outside playing! And you are in the library.”

But my classes are not bad at all. I have Music for Elementary School Teachers, Art for Elementary School Teachers, and Children’s Literature. They’re fun.

People who lived in Edgemont: Julie Anderson Clark taught my children’s literature class! Do you remember her? Mom said she did. Julie reminded me so much of Mom! They both have many similar mannerisms. I noticed new ones every day. It was fun to have a little piece of Mom here.

Ooh! I had all of Mom here, the other day. Dad too. They brought my sewing machine! I’ve made two things: A baby blanket and an art project. (The assignment was to make a collection. So I sewed a collection of flannel scraps together. I was more impressed with myself than my classmates were with me. Isn't that always how it is?)

Why am I taking up sewing? And hurrying along graduation? It’s a small reason. At least it’s small right now! Bryan and I will be welcoming a little one into our house next February.

See?

Yeah, me neither.

I think its Bryan who we should keep an eye on.

I'm still obsessed with the Nauvoo Brass Band, by the way.

yay for Youtube. If you're not as obsessed as I am, scroll to the bottom for pictures and such.

Jessie's Wedding

You recall that Jessie a.k.a. Best Friend, Larsen... goodness, what is her new last name? Jessie Macy. Go Facebook. Anyway, she drove down from Idaho for my wedding. That's her, on the left.
Well, I was not about to let her wedding go by without me in attendance. It was my first road trip by myself!

Such a beautiful ceremony. Being there filled my little cup of happiness.


I also got to see Natalie Blanchard!

Go me.

Whenever I'm proud of something I make for dinner, I take a picture. Notice that there are two photos here, out of seven months of marriage. Usually, my dinners kind of remind us of Experiment 627. Bryan doesn't mind, though, because we have lots of Otter Pops.



But these worked! Baby hamburgers and mini pizzas.



Yes, that's a sliced hot dog. It works, okay?

I got me a good one.

Bryan continues to be great.

This is us having treats for family night. Fine art. There’s mine, just a blob. But Bryan over there, he made an arch. Apparently a not very stable one…

He’s a good sport. For Bryan’s 23^rd birthday, I made him a party hat and a wand and cake. See that cardboard thing on the table? Those were the candles. Yes, I lit them. No, I didn’t burn the house down.

I wonder what he is thinking about in this picture...

A family night activity we did was Truth or Dare Battleship. If you sink a ship, you get to give a truth or dare. The dares were most fun. He made me shout, “I love you, *State First Crush’s Name Here*!” outside. I made him run to that tree and back with some whitey-tighties on his head. Heh heh.

No explanation for this one.

Bryan and I went camping. This is our new tent.

He started making my lunch when we got married, (and he did up until this semester, when I'm usually at home for lunch.) Anyway, he does a great job. Apparently this day, though, he forgot something important…

I did, indeed, accept the sincere apology along with the peace offering.

He makes a difference. See?

That's him after he donated some blood. One pint lighter, one cool sticker heavier.

His buddy is starting a restaurant, and Bryan did their website. I think it looks great.

He also made an online resume. This is also pretty stinkin’ cool to me, but I’m in love with the guy.

Look!

It's us.
