{20 Random Things About Me}

When I was younger and I used to keep a Dead Journal and then a Live Journal, I used to LOVE filling out these surveys about myself.  I saw a blogger fill out this random survey and I thought I would fill it out too.

Random Summer Phone Pictures!

Here are a bunch of cell phone pictures from the past month or so.  I still don't have a digital camera so I have to make do with my cell phone!  Again, blogger uploaded these in random order and I don't know any easy way to rearrange them that doesn't take forever (if you know, please tell me!) so the order is all over the place!

Playing basketball in our driveway!

I had Brandon and Charity's girls over for a sleepover.  Cousin time!

Ayla and our bearded dragon, Luna.

Ayla and grandma Deb's dog, Gabbi.

I love them :)

Packed up and ready to board a plane to HAWAII!

Family in Hawaii!

Hopefully I will be able to post about our week long trip to Maui with my family before the wedding.  We had so much fun and I have so many pictures!  Stay tuned!

Lacking.

I, like I sometimes do, have been lacking in blog creativity.

So I will share some random thoughts and maybe a random picture or two.

1.  Snow.  With this being my 4th year in Utah I should be used to snow in March/April/June.  But I'm not.  I'm not happy with it.  I am cold and fed up with it.  I am sick of coats and sweatshirts and boots.  It's time to move on to t-shirts and open-toed shoes.

2.  Let me start by saying I AM NOT JUDGMENTAL.  To each their own.  Really.  I just wonder why it is that LDS girls, ones that make it very clear what they believe and that they are firm in their beliefs, find it ok to wear the very smallest of bikinis.  This is not me throwing any stones, believe you me, I am in no place to be throwing stones.  I just wonder.  Why is it that on Sunday skirts are down past the knee, necklines are up to the chin, sleeves to the wrist, scriptures open in laps... but any other day of the week there are boobs and butts and shoulders galore.  Is there some sort of unspoken rule that makes it ok to not follow this guidance from The Church?  Just wondering.

3.  At work you can earn a pair of shoes of your choice up to $100 if you can get 3 accounts installed the very same day that they are sold.  The sales rep gets a pair of shoes and the scheduler who can get those three scheduled also gets a pair of shoes.  This is going on until the 31st.  I FINALLY (after days of missing it by 1!) earned a pair of shoes.  Or any number of pairs equalling $100.  I am leaning towards some cute Sperry's or some open-toed flowery numbers.  I just can't decide.

4.  I am going to do a product review in my next update.

That's all.

Ayla couldn't let the tongue thing go...
