AnoTheR YeAr.....

Another year older....... Obviously. Another year wiser....... Probably not.

Some "isms" for 27:
-Don't sweat the small stuff. Really! We hear it all the time, how often do we follow it
-If you can't change the outcome, don't even open your mouth
-If someone looks cute, tell them. Even random strangers, it will make their day. I know it would make mine.
-Frozen Totinos pizza is never a bad idea. Always keep at least 5 on hand!
-Start every day with good intentions. If you end the day with them, you have accomplished something.
-Don't have road rage, it doesn't make anyone go any faster.
-Tell the people that you love, that you love them.
-My closet will always be filled with clothes that I wear according to my ever changing weight gain and loss and gain.... etc. That is just how it will always be.
-If you get mad, get over it quickly. Why waste your time?
-Go back and look through old pictures whenever you get the chance. It is so fun to remember.
-One chick flick can fix any problem. A marathon however, will make you forget that anything was ever wrong.

Rick's cousin Jared passed away on Sunday. I had the privilege of being friends with Jared a few years before I even knew Rick. What a small world it is. I don't think that I will ever listen to Sublime and not think of Jared. We are so sad for this loss.

He was born Jan. 20, 1982, in Cedar City, Utah, and was a 21-year resident of Nevada.

He was an electrician for 10 years and a talented perfectionist in the construction and mechanical trades. He loved his nieces and nephews, and his dogs, Torque and Ruffie. He was caring, funny, talented and unique. He had many friends and all those who knew him, loved him.

So our friends Nick and Renz drove into town from San Diego for the weekend. Renz has never been to Utah, so we gave him just a little sample. Of course SaNd hOlloW during the day on Saturday and a Ufc FigHt and BBQ at our house that night. My friend Nikki and a bunch of her friends from SLC were down too so we invited them to come along for some volleyball. The boys got crazy and broke out the lawn darts too. (are those even legal?) And what kind of friends would we be if we let Renz come to St George and not see Zions? Im just waiting for Nick to send me some pics of our hike at Angels Landing.

So I am sitting at home alone because Rick is out having a super fun time with all of his family at their fAmiLy ReuNioN this weekend. I couldn't go because I had to work. Yuck. I was scrolling through our pictures and ran across this one. I didn't even know that we had this picture because I had taken it with my camera phone (however many phones ago). I think it is so funny so I will tell you about it in case some of you don't know what this van is. This van was our HonEyMooN. We weren't planning a honeymoon because we closed on our house the day before our wedding so wasn't I surprised when I walked out (panicked that one of our cars would be trashed) and saw this. SuRprIsE! Rick had bought the van a couple months before the wedding and had been hiding it from me. He had a weekend road trip all planned and we drove it up to Salina, where we picked up Stella (another surprise) stayed in Bryce Canyon at Ruby's Inn one night and in Zions at the Desert Pearl another. Good times!
