We headed to Salt Lake Dec. 27 to celebrate The New Guy's 27th birthday! We ice-skated at The Gallivan Center and then enjoyed hot chocolate, treats, and chocolate torte at The Avenues Apartment. Good times! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, New Guy!!! You rock and we love you!
ROCKIN' THE NEW YEAR
The Rockband Party was T-O-T-A-L-L-Y A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!! So sorry to those of you who couldn't make it! We missed you! As always, costumes were required and everyone had to come with a sweet rocker name and band. The results were hilarious! We smashed a guitar and popped some bubbly (Martinelli's Sparkling Cider) at midnight. It was crazy wicked fun and jammin'!
HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!!!
UTTER JOY
Isn't it amazing and an absolute blessing to know that we can experience such utter
JOY
HAPPINESS
PURPOSE
EXCITEMENT
despite these hard and trying times!? That our loving Father in Heaven sends an outpouring of His Spirit, motivation, determination, and ability to endure when the challenges seem almost too great for us to face? When something as simple as TIME with or a TOUCH from a loved one is powerful enough to flood your entire being with hope and continued resolve. That through the tumult we can be still and know that He is God. What true Majesty and Power. What an incredible time to be ALIVE.
Well, it's official! Jerky is gone and enjoying a new master. We were very blessed in having him sell so quickly! What a blessing! So thanks to those of you who contributed prayers in our behalf. We love you!
E took a half day yesterday and brought my new sexy beast home. He replaced the brake pads and shoes and helped me scour the entire thing, top to bottom. It was filthy. I used Lysol wipes on every surface imaginable...can't be too careful. :) We drove it around and met some friends for dinner. Everything seemed to be working great, but then we noticed an odd sound... E's pretty sure a wheel bearing has gone bad...whether it just needs to be lubed or replaced entirely will be determined today (he took the rig to work to look at it). But for the most part, we're up, we're running, we're in business! And oh, how I love my Jeep!!!
Suggestions for nicknames are now being accepted. I need something good. Perhaps it will be like Jerky...it will just "come" one day whilst on a road trip or something. :) Either way, it's time to let the good times roll!!!
E's B-DAY BASH
We celebrated E's BIG 28 with a little family (26 or so...???) (and yes, S/S/Z, you're family now!) party yesterday. Good times, tasty food, and the infamous ICE-CREAM CAKE...not to mention 28 sparkler candles that almost lit the house on fire = one totally rockin' shindig!
Who needs a match when you have a creme brulee torch!?
FIRE!!!
Oh, sweet icy cold, mint heaven.
The jolly goods
