happy birthday jenn

It's been a long time. 7 years? 10 years? I dunno. I was wearing nail polish in that picture. i think the first one is 7th grade. I wore that TECH VEST from old navy so so much. I loved those things! The next picture has got to be 10th grade. I've got my warped tour shirt on....with the cut off sleves.....and the excessive punk rocker eye-liner. Hiking picture - that was after graduation, when we found the mountains.

Remember when we had hottie bodies and nice nice tans? Oh man, that was the life. Working-out - doing homework - eating lots of food - whining about our curfews - day dreaming about boys - laying out and getting tan.

Things aren't too different now though. Going to work - getting the motivation to work out - eating lots more food - whining about getting to bed late - day dreaming about our sweet hubbies.....being scared of skin cancer and not being tan.....yeah....things change.....but then again some things always remain. Thanks for being my friend (: luv you!

10 random things (:

okay okay I'll do it.



here's my ten random things for the day



#1 I am sitting in my cubicle at work right now looking at the heart people my sister made for me - which are rock'n awesome by the way. cutey little niece and nephews patooties.


#2 I love buying myself treats. i would rather have a candy bar than a new shirt anyday. I buy these granola bars at work everday they are homemade here at the hospital and are really good. i guess that's why i've got a little pudge and dress so crappy.



#3 My favorite BOM story is about alma and amulek - how the lord prepared amulek for alma. i love that - way cool- our prayers are answered.



#4 My husband is the greatest. He made me dinner last night since I had to work. i love getting ready for bed and snuggling with him. hes got a nice beard.

#5 I need to learn more about history/politics. I had to ask richard what happened at tienemen square- i think that should be common knowledge. also i dont know how to spell that.

#6 fall is my favorite season, but i do luv spring (but not allergies ACHOO)

#7 my grandpa could have been a millionare. he was out with his friend doing some geology and they took two different paths (literally). his friend struck gold or something. my g-pa got the shaft. i dont know the complete story, its just something like that. family history is cool.

#8 i had a cat named snowball. it was our only pet. it got run over my neighbor after ~1week of being our pet

#9 i drive a 91 subaru legacy. it is missing the front turn signal. oregon lets you drive cars that are not safe

#10 my mom tells me she named me nicole because my hair was black like coal. i think that is a lie. she just liked the name. i want to name my kid olive or oliver depending on the sex. that wont be for a while though. richard thinks thats a nerdy name.

Indian Sweets

Our sweet neighbors from India made us some sweet treats. These were like awesome little dounuts in a sweet sauce - served hot. Way cool. I think they are called Jalebi. We made some valentines cookies for them....I wonder if they thought they were weird just like at first sight we thought these looked weird.

willing to pay for a time share?

This house is only $ 348,700 !!! If you help us pay our mortgage you would have a nice place to stay when you come visit!

sea slug, tall tall tower, blown away, cute baby, friends

And for some reason we didn't take picutres of the 6 racoons that fought over crumbs near the yurt we slept at.........

Oregon is fun, come visit us (:

Looks like crazy hippi bus people got their wish.......

The crazy hippi bus people.

Their dream come true in NY times.

I think I could be one of these people. Except that I am starting my first real garden this summer - I guess I'm not hippi enough to qualify yet.

Richard the Handy Man

Not only is richard a nice hairy companion/man of my dreams.....he also fishes.....hunts.....bikes....follows sports voraciously.....and makes bird houses in his spare time (ie when I am not home nagging him to clean up his messes from fishing/biking/and eating tortillas and cheese).
