I have read the entire Mortal Instruments series in approximately 7 days. To say the least... I love it! I was obsessed. I just want everyone to go out and buy it and read it. And then call me so we can talk about it!

is it cute or awkward?

Does this happen to anyone else? On a couple of occasions, without knowing, we have come home from work and have been practically wearing the same outfit.... i don't even know what to say about it?
Of course, if we go out, i make Abe change.




*on a side note: Why is Wes still on the bachelorette? He is a scumbag. I just want him and his ugly sleeve to get off the show already.

Jodi, Jodi, Jodi...

Did everyone cry as much as i did in this book?! Great book, but i mean seriously... there was sobbing! my shirt was wet from crying so much, its embarrassing. after i had finished the book i went down stairs and Abe was asking me about the book, and so i started telling him about it and I couldn't even finished because i start balling! I cant believe i was still crying over this book! am i so pathetic? And then there is Abe just staring at me, totally bewildered, not know what to say to me or do. I am laughing and crying as Abe tries to hug me. The whole thing was really funny, i had no control over what was happening......Jodi Picoult , why did you do this to me?!

utah circa: two weeks ago.

Do you see this face? This is the face that says, don't wake me up if I'm dreaming, because I'm so happy to be in Utah, i cant believe how green it is and I'm at Ruth's diner. This is the that face says i am wearing a cardigan and not sweating in 105 degree weather, and yes, i will finish the entire mile high biscuit. And if i died, right now, in the parking lot of Ruth's diner, i would probably have this face... of pure joyful bliss.

I really meant mile high biscuits... i wasn't lying.

Oh this? This is when i caught Abe making out with the real salt lake crest... what a tramp.

Carrie, Lissa, Kate and me

Not only are we pumped about the game , but David Archuleta will be preforming a mini concert..with fireworks.
This is our friends, Drew and Jenny's little boy... isn't he the cutest thing you have ever seen!

Over all, it was a great trip. It was nice to see our niece get baptized(that was the whole reason why we were up there) and funny to hear her say," whoa, that was weird" as she came out of the water. It was fun hanging out with family and friends. I love Abes family, I always feel so lucky to have married into such a great family! I wish we could see them more often.(aka the 2014: Denver plan) I am bummed that we didn't take that many pictures. I guess that means we were having too much fun to bother with pictures. one thing i do wish there was a picture /video of: We were visiting our friends family and they had this great backyard with a zip line. Abe tells me to get on it and he pushes me really hard ,so i go flying down this hill on this zip line and crash into a tree! some nice husband he is! my hair was all caught up the bark and i am so awkward. It was really funny and Abe felt really bad. It would of been great though to get it on film!
Seeing all of the green trees and old beautiful houses made us really miss Utah, but we know, right now, Arizona is where we are suppose to be. We will just need to get our Utah fixes every once in a while.
