donny and marie

Jill and I got last minute tickets to see The Donny and Marie Show. It sounded like a good excuse to have a "girls trip".
We had a ticket for you Collette, we saved you a seat...:( {sigh}

Mom was the most excited about seeing Donny's Dancing with the Stars trophey! :)

I was excited to see the fashion selections. I don't know too many Donny and Marie songs, but I've heard the show is great.

Jill knew more than me. Unfortunately, Donny lost his voice about half way into the show. :(
They did the best improv they could. Good to know they definitely don't lip sync!
So, I think the Donny and Marie show is still on my list to see. The part we saw was good!
And it's always fun to have girl time!

Dear Collette #1

Dear Collette,

I got the message.
I guess I can't be demanding if I am not willing to do some work myself.

For Halloween this year, Josh and I went to Arizona.
Josh had the exciting opportunity to meet all the Arizona girls (except Michelle).
They didn't disappoint. But such information shouldn't be blogged about.
I guess you'll have to call, even though I know you don't like talking on the phone. hehe

We, eh hem, I had several ideas, we had decided on this but at the last minute I wasn't sure. Josh got the experience of seeing me in "project mode", indecision "project mode" at that...not pretty. He offered several suggestions...several! But finally we both agreed on this...

Ugly School Pictures in a frame.

I feel the need to explain to you, because I'm sure you have already had the thought...while it might look as though Josh had a mullet in 1992, he did not. It was purely for humor purposes.

I personally think I got pretty darn close.

I thought you would appreciate the big hair comeback. I know it took me several years to come out of it...and I don't know if I am completely healed, but I appreciate your patience and unconditional love. Even with my big hair on your wedding day...oh sigh!

Here's what some of the girls and their men came as:

I forgot to get a picture of the host family, Jen and Rebuen. That's kinda rude. And I also didn't get a pic of Rob and Aly, they were Peace and Quiet....haha!

I am amazed that these ladies were my friends when my hair was like that everyday. And not only were they my friends....they made me feel like I was pretty AND cool. Heaven, BLESS these women!!
(Sorry Kanani about completely covering you in the picture...sigh)

I hope you are amazed that I blogged, because I am. And I even have some more drafts that I haven't posted...so exciting!!

Thanks for making me do it! :)
Love, your lil' sis

The Office...

Remember my humble beginnings?
Well, a year later, after
3 "waterfalls" in my office (aka leaks)
53 comments all along the lines of "Is that a dead bird on your window"
and another
24 comments along the lines of "Girl, what is up with your office??"

I finally got enough clout to move down the hall into BHS 438!
Right next to the bathroom...which for some might be a disappointment, but I was overjoyed!

So over-joyed I decorated!
The theme was a place of refuge. Somewhere the students would like to come and hang out...

The perfect doorstop!

The quote board...

My windowsill flower garden.

Colorful but calming wall...

My thank you tree...

I love it!!
Really I do.
But now I can't get these guys out of it!!

SLC to LV

Josh moved to Las Vegas!
The anticipation was a little too much for me.
So, I thought this was in order!
It helped me center my energy!!

...I am loving every minute of seeing him everyday...
