Our "Mock-aversary"

Our 3rd Anniversary....which we spent mini golfing....
My new favorite picture of Aubrey!
Daddy and Aubrey
Aubrey gave us lots of putting tips from her stroller.

Steve is thinking of going pro for mini-golf later this year...
What a pretty tree!
Pretty in pink
Aubrey was a little tuckered out after our "mock-aversary" outings
So we had a fun time today celebrating our third anniversary, although a day late. Steve had to work yesterday so we decided to do a day-date today instead. We went and played mini-golf with Aubrey at Boondocks in Draper. It was fun and hot outside. We broke out the summer clothes box today and it was fun to wear shorts and flip flops again! We went to eat at Cafe Rio afterwards and by then Miss Aubrey had had about enough of our little activities so she preceded to fall soundly asleep on the way home. Little did we know that those 10 minutes would end up being her only afternoon nap....oh well. We had a great day, enjoyed the beautiful weather, and were happy to spend another wonderful anniversary together.

Glee for a Gee

Ok ladies so some of you know...I have a crush on many a boys and I make it known to them, regularly. Don't judge me, I'm 27, I don't have time to play games! There is one boy in particular that I just love teasing - I pretty much live for it. Recently our ward had a Poetry Slam and so I whipped up this little gem in honor of my favorite victim. I totally came with another guy so that was hilarious and the subject didn't even end up showing which was very sad and even more hilarious that I performed it anyway. So basically, the poem left its mark and I thought ya'll might enjoy it. (yeah it would probably be a lot more funny if you knew him, so just imagine)

(originally performed 4/11/08 at the CW poetry slam)

Those golden locks catch my eye
Every time that Gee walks by

Spend some time and you’ll see
He can go on and on of fiscal policy

His hearty laugh makes me giggle
But touch him not for he'll just wiggle

True, his sandals are completely worn
And his pants, ridiculously torn

But that Gavin Gee is quite a man
Ladies, catch him if you can

I know, Dan Jones, we are on a date
And that kiss, you remember, was something great

But in my heart there will always be
A soft squishy spot for that Gavin Gee

And so my thoughts I just had to share
All because of that curly blond hair

THE END!

WE GOT IT!!!

This has been quite the week for us...we are now practically homeowners.:) As of yesterday we are under contract with the home I fell in love with last weekend in Utah. So in just about a month we should be permanent residents of South Jordan. It was a bit stressful since there were two other offers on the house the same day, but I am so relieved that we got it. The house is 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, about 2600 sq.ft. (including the unfinished basement), and has all the upgrades I've been dreaming about as I watch House Hunters on HGTV! In my last post I showed you pictures of the Oquirrh mountain temple view from the front yard, and mountain view from the back of the house. We really think this will be a great neighborhood to start our family in. I made a slideshow of some pictures I took. Keep in mind it still needs carpet, landscaping, and finishing work, but that will all be done by the time we move in. I'm so excited! Now comes the daunting task of picking out (and paying for) all of those appliances and extras that come with owning a new home. Fun, fun. You are all invited to visit!

Aunt Kari comes to visit!

We loved having Aunt Kari (my sister) come to visit on Friday of last week while Kari and  Brett were in town to finalize his job details and to house-shop. 

It was so funny because when I showed up to get Kari at her in-law's house we were "twinners." She and I were both wearing navy shirts with khakis...not to mention that they were the EXACT same pair of khakis bought at the same store, in the same week, in the same size! I guess we really are sisters....and it reminded me how much I miss sharing Kari's wardrobe!

Aubrey was just a sweetheart all day and we had a great time together having a "girl's day". We just spent the day at the apartment hanging out, playing with Aubrey, discovering our mutual mini obsessions of the Hills and Gilmore Girls (even though the husbands hate those shows...), and eating Cafe Rio for lunch. I just realized how much I miss seeing Kari all the time and hope we'll get to get together again soon.
