I am sorry I have not written in my blog for a while. It has been super busy lately. To fill you in on everything. Eric and I went to Newport Beach, with his fam. It was awesome… They had the best thing at the beach. All the deli’s and snack stands had “Frozen Banana’s”. Yup, they would dip them in chocolate and put sprinkles or nuts on it. It was the most beautiful thing I have tasted.
The second day, Eric and I went out to the beach to lay out, and read. I have to admit Eric and I have had bad luck on beaches… When we got out there, we noticed a crowd of people circling the waters. It felt like that Seinfeld episode, where George says he is a marine biologist. Eric and I look closer and there is a dead seal washed up on shore. It was awful, the worst part about it, is that it had no head, and no tail. It happen to get washed up about 15 feet in front of us. That was kind of a downer…
Aside from the dead seal incident, we manage to get our spirits up to go to Disneyland. When Eric and I walked into to Disneyland, we looked up at the castle, and turned to each other and said, “That’s it?” When you’re younger, Disneyland seems a little bigger. But hey, it was so much fun. First thing we did, is go on Space Mountain. I was so excited to go on Space Mountain, UNTIL I was actually ON Space Mountain. I thought in my head, “why in the H E double hockey stick, and want to go on that ride, for fun?) I finally understood why my mom hated that ride. After Space Mountain, Eric turned to me and said that we might need to get some Dramamine… which we did.
It was a fun trip! But I am really glad to be home. I love my bed, and my pillow, and my own bathroom. I am sounding more and more like my mom.

Bumper Sticker
I just wanted to share w/ you all a bumper sticker I saw... I was driving home, and saw this van that had all these liberal stickers on it. I rolled my eyes, until I saw this one sticker that made me laugh so hard, it read: "Peace on earth begins at birth, use a midwife!" After that bumper sticker, I really couldn't take that car seriously...
Anyway have a good one!

Who am I?
Hey everyone! Sorry I have been busy, or maybe I was turning into "two crazy ladies". Anyway, either way, I was totally slacking on the blog. Ok, so a lot has happened since I last updated. I will try to fill everyone in...another time. I was thinking of what to write, and a funny story came to mind.
A few nights ago, Eric was getting ready for bed, and I was already laying on the bed. I crossed my arms on my chest, and closed my eyes (kind of like the way vampires do). As I did this, I yelled to Eric, "WHO am I?" Eric seemed puzzled as I continued to stay in that position. He thought for a moment, and said, " Dixie?" I said, "NO!" with kind of pursed lips. I was frustrated that he was not seeing what I had in mind. I tried the second time, and he said, "Are you my grandpa?" ( His grandpa recently passed, and he thought I looked like I was dead in coffin). I got a little frustrated, and told him " I am SLEEPING BEAUTY!!! And I also would have accepted SNOW WHITE!" Eric laughed and said, "Well, you look more like my grandpa". It was a funny story, but not at the time.
I am so happy that the earth is back in its axis, and that the crazy ladies are writing again. I look so forward to blogs.
It is Eric's bday today, and he is officially 24 years old. He is officially older than me, by 1 month. He is watching the discovery channel right now, so im guessing that it was a good bday. He loves his discovery and history channels.
Well everyone have a great day, and im going to get some sleep.. like eric's grandpa

No talk about it!!!
Today was a great day until Eric and I decided to go take Dixie on a walk. I hate to say this, but I think Eric saw a different side of me. We went to crestwood park by our house, and took dixie.
I love going and walking in the park, its the best. Eric, Dix and I starting our walk, when all of a sudden I noticed a stink bug. I hate stink bugs, actually I hate every beetle! But I noticed that one was walking across the trail, I was just grateful Dixie didn't eat it ( she has a tendency to eat random things). Eric and I walked about two more feet, and there was another stink bug!
I looked around, and I kid you not, that There was stink bugs every two feet on the trail. I suddenly felt like I was in an Indiana Jones Movie, and didn't know what the heck to do. The thing was, is that ERIC was not too concerned. I have never seen so many big stinkbugs in bulk! Eric told me that they probably just hatched, and thats why we hadn't seen them on Saturday, when we went last. I was scared that a stink bug was going to land on my head, because maybe they hatch in the tree's. Trust me, my mind was going out of control. after seeing more and more, I kind of flipped out. I started walking really fast, and jumping a lot too.
The funny part about it, is that Dixie is always ahead of us to show us the way on the trail... So all of the stink bugs that we passed, were already had their bums in the air for defense. Dixie was probably so confused... All I have to say is that Im happy I am alive to tell the story.

A walk in the park....
Today has been quite a day! I got home from work today, and saw that maybe we got our tax return from the IRS. I opened up the letter, and basically it said, that we forgot to sign our tax returns, how clueless is that? We were so good about getting it out early, it was lame, but at the same time was totally hilarious.
Also today, Eric and I (and Dixie) went on a walk. We always go to crestwood park by our house, and Dixie is off leash. Now, Dixie loves this park. There is a whole field of birds that she just goes crazy for. As me and Eric were walking, we saw 6 (yes 6) baby foxes. It was crazy, and the mom was near by. Eric and I just watched them for a while. In that same area, while we were standing, there is a fence w/ some horses. Dixie, being a highly over confident dog, went up to the fence and was trying to get the horse to play. I was a little worried that Dixie would get kicked by the horse...(Dixie can be a little over bearing at times). I think Dixie was confused that the horse didn't want to play w/ her.
It was a fun and exciting walk. I do have to say Dixie is pretty worn out...Good puppy. I also want to say that Two crazy ladies needs to be updated. Come on guys, lets get on top of it :)

I have grown...
Hey everyone, well my mom and jensen's. Hey so last friday I had the opportunity to go on a "field trip" at work. We were given a chance to go to visit a lab, because it was lab week. So I went with four other girls in client services, and we got to go to the Huntsman, where there is an ARUP "surgical pathology gross lab"in the hospital. We went into the room, and I think Marne' would have died w/ the smell walking in. I walked in and saw some guy in a lab coat, rinsing what looked like a piece of steak. I had faith that I wouldn't faint.
I think watching Fringe, and see all the body parts on that TV show, has prepared me for this moment. There was a lady that took us around, and she explained that they get all the specimens from surgery. She reached into a bucket, and pulled out a uterus, that had HUGE tumor/cysts on it. It was crazy, surprisingly I did not pass out. Then she pulled out a heart that was 3 times bigger than it should (kind of like the grinch, Eric told me), and it was crazy. She showed us some intenstines, and then she said that she had something crazy in the "fridge". Ya, she pulled out this white garbage bag, with blood all inside... (keep this in mind, I passed out when a nurse drew blood from me).. she then said that this was a foot (basically from the knee down) that had gangrene. She told us that this was probably an elderly person that had a leg amputated and didn't notice it had gangrene, and that his toes were dead. She said anyone feeling "hot" should sit on the floor of the lab. I told her that I was okay( because I did not want to sit down on THAT floor). Anyway, turns out I was okay, did NOT faint. As one of the ladies in the lab walked by us, and she said, "Oh, that is what is stinkin up the fridge... That is a RIPE foot!" What a different world! When I got back from the lab, I sat down at my desk, and I was never so happy to answer phones.
BUt I was so proud of myself! I figured that if I can see that leg, that I can handle anything in life. The sad part about seeing the foot, I thought to myself, "gosh this would be a good blog post"...

brooks
Eric and I went to park city last night. As we were driving down from Parley's canyon, I could help but think of a story that Brooks told me growing up. I remember back in the days, Brooks was really mean to me.
I know many of the stories of him spitting on me from the balcony, while my parents let him tend, are hard to believe. BUT they happened! Well as we were driving down the canyon, I happened to look at those metal pipes on the mountain that go down the whole canyon. Well, while driving in the car, brooks told me that those water pipes actually are waterslides. And, that you can go down them, but if you get stuck, then you die. I know, this story sounds a little far fetched, but i believed him, and Brooks has a way of making you believe his stories. Well, I remember being terrified of those water pipes forever.
Anyway, I am just updating my blog, because I haven't written in forever. Hope all is well. And Brooks- I will get you back for all those mean stuff u did to me. I dont forget!
