Outdoor Fun!

Our backyard isn't 100% done but it's done enough to BBQ and enjoy the pool and hot tub! We've had a great time. We grill every night!

Funny Universal Truths

1. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

10. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this - ever.

21. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

22. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

23. There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

Concert

Trav and I had a great weekend. On Friday night we went to the Minority Council Annual Awards where his company won the "Construction Company of the Year" award. Saturday night we went to the Muse concert at Mandalay Bay. I took some pics of Trav because I thought he looked hot! :)

New Car!

So I walked into Carmax yesterday thinking I was going to just trade in my old BMW for a newer version. The warantee on mine had expired and it had a few minor problems. I was heart set on getting another BMW. Then I saw this beauty! It's so pretty and I love it! I hardly got any sleep last night thinking about driving it this morning! It's silly but one of my favorite features is it has heated seats which I used last night on the way home. Can't wait to drive it to work!

Funny

Quote of the day:

Me: It's cool that General Conference is on Easter Sunday this year.

Travis: Yeah, I hope someone dresses up like the Easter Bunny.

:) He makes me laugh every day.

Christmas 2009

Trav and I had a great Christmas holiday. We spent a week in Hawaii (pics to come later) then came home and spent time with both our families. It was a great break from work and we had such a nice relaxing time the whole week! It was one of the best Christmases in a while! I told Trav that I just wanted to go shopping for clothes this year for my gift so I hit all the after Christmas sales and got tons of cute stuff. But Travis did buy some cute little stocking stuffers for Christmas morning. My absolute favorite gift of all, including all the clothes I got, was this:

It was $1.99 but hands down the best thing I got! For those of you who aren't familiar, the slang term for this is a "Jesus fish." It's a metal ornament people put on that back of their cars. The history is that during the time when Christians had to worship in secret they created this symbol that they would draw in the dirt with their foot to signal to other Christians that they were planning to meet that day. Also, sometimes people would draw half of the symbol in the dirt and wait to see if someone drew the other half. That's how they identified themselves as Christians to other people. So in a state where there isn't a majority population of Christians, this is how I'm identifying myself to others. :)
