NUMBER TWENY-TWO

Today is mine and Rick's 22nd anniversary!! I wish I knew how to scan a picture to my blog so you would all be able to see how we looked 22 years ago. Let me help you visualize....I had permed hair and VERY tall bangs. I was wearing a mermaid style dress with huge puffy sleeves and a headband veil with a pearl drop right in the middle of my forehead. Rick was wearing a white tuxedo and looked VERY handsome. I recieved my endowments early in the morning and then after changing into my wedding dress we had a white wedding in the East Sealing room of the St. George temple. After having lunch with the family at Sizzler we headed back to Vegas to get ready for the reception that night. My colors were teal and seafoam with a little bit of peach. My bridesmaids wore seafoam dresses. I had 4 of them. At the reception there were sandwiches and goodies and of coarse the cake which we served. Lemon...my favorite! We had a small program where my brother sang the Mac Davis song "Fall in Love With Your Wife" and then Rick sang a song to me..."So Near the Angels." After our lovely evening we headed out to Imperial Palace for 2 nights. We got to stay in a room called 'The Love Tub' courtesy of one of my bridesmaids who worked there. (and yes, it did have a love tub:) We headed out Sunday morning to northern UT where we had a weeks stay at a condo in East Canyon. The rest, as they say, is history!!
I am very blessed to have married the kindest most selfless man I know (I'm sure some of you wives would have to disagree) but to me it's the truth!! Rick is truly my best friend and we have had these wonderful 22 years together. Life has been very good to us!! I'm ready for the next 30 to 40!!

OOPS!!

Last night Kendra and I were watching a chick flick as Rick had taken Gary snowboarding. I had gotten a call from Rick while he was on the lift and we spoke for just a few minutes. A few minutes later he called back for something else. Well, a few minutes after that the phone rang again and I saw that the caller ID said Superior Asphalt and I assumed it was Rick again so I answered the phone in a sing song voice saying, "Yes, my darling!" The phone clicked like it was getting bad reception and so I said again, "Yes, my darling!!" Then I hear a man's voice say, "I don't think I'm your darling." To which I said, "You're not? Well who is this? To which I hear Brad say, "This is Brad." OH MAN!! I was laughing so hard and trying to explain myself. Brad was good natured though. After I hung up Kenni and I were rolling on the floor laughing. Maybe this is a 'had to be there situation' but it was SO funny! It's a good thing I can laugh at myself....believe me my family laughs at the dumb things I do all the time!!

GARY...ALWAYS GOOD FOR A LAUGH

Gary is needing to find a job so tonight I was helping him with some questions on the applications that he was filling out. One of the apps was for our neighborhood grocery store. One of the lines listed all of the areas that are found in a grocery store and asked of which ones he would be interested in. The first was the bakery and right off he says, "NO!" The second was the Deli and again an emphatic "NO!" The next one was floral and he said, "well, yeah."

To that I said, "You want to work in the floral department???"

He then said, "Yeah.........isn't that cleaning the floors?"

I am still laughing as I type this. He's Silly!! I Love Him=}

WINTER FUN

New Years Day Rick and I went sledding in the West field. No one wanted to go with us so it was just him and I. It was VERY cold but we had a good time. We hooked the sled behind the Ranger and had at it.......

We got movin' pretty fast. Here's Rick after he biffed it. He came out unscathed but as for me I recieved a huge bruise on my leg after hitting either a rock or a frozen cow poopie....I really couldn't tell!!

Happy New Year!!
