Soul Mates

I wasn't tagged for this but I needed a new post, so I copied this from my SIL's page. However I am tagging some of you! Namely: Cassondra, Kristina, Chantell, Stephanie, and Vanessa. (Whitney, you're off the hook since you're having a baby... right now).

How Well Do I Know My Husband

1. He's sitting in front of the TV, what is on the screen? Hmmm, any of the Bourne movies, an old John Wayne about airplanes, a documentary on fighters, or maybe a chick flick I'm making him watch with me.

2. You're out to eat; what kind of dressing does he get on his salad? We don't go out often enough to know this one, but here at home he prefers Ranch over Italian.

3. What's one food he doesn't like? Black licorice, which I love! On occasion I like to eat a few Good n' Plenties before I give him a big ol' kiss just to see his gag face!

4. You go out to eat and have a drink, what does he order? Rootbeer or water

5. Where did he go to high school? Conway High. Go Wompass Cats... or Wombats? Something like that. I know, so sad.

6. What size shoe does he wear? 10.5

7. If he was to collect anything, what would it be? Aside from all the airplane paperwork that fills the boxes in our closet? He doesn't really have any outstanding hobbies or anything. Oh wait, I thought of one. He wants to have a collection of stuff for taking care of our cars, like a built in car wash in our garage, with all the works inside and out. Does that count?

8. What is his favorite type of sandwich? Wheat bread, mayo and dijon mustard spread all the way to the crust, american, turkey, ham, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, sprouts, italian dressing, salt and pepper.

9. What would this person eat every day if he could? Homemade smoothies or milkshakes. He makes them all the time.

10. What is his favorite cereal? Cheerios. Original. Plain, no sugar.

11. What would he never wear? Are you kidding me? It took me forever to convince him that it was okay to go untucked and without a belt! (Sorry Pat, that's probably years of good training that I've undone!)

12. What is his favorite sports team? My wards volleyball team because he can come and watch me rock the courts! Okay, really, let's talk about this. My man doesn't do sports. Last season I had to petition some friends to PLEASE have a football party for the rival game so I'd have someone to be excited about it with.

13. Who did he vote for? David Cook. Hahaha just kidding. I just youtubed last season of American Idol for that name! Who knows, maybe he would have better than what we had left to vote for.

14. Who is his best friend? He's really lucky that his best friend is smokin' HOT. Talk about friend with benefits!

15. What is something you do that he wishes you wouldn't do? This one's easy. It's breaking rules, whether it be speeding, or trespassing, or dumpster diving. It makes him crazy! Whenever I'm walking out the door for a GNO he tells me to use my one phonecall to call him.

16. What is his heritage? Weird question. I'd say his heritage is... rich. (nerd points!)

17. You bake him a cake for his birthday; what kind of cake? He's very non-traditional about his birthday cake. One year he wanted Apple Crumble Cake, antoher he wanted Cherry Pie. We still stick candles on it though, whatever it is.

18. Did he play sports in high school? If you call running track a sport, which he will defend to his death is one. He says, "If it's in the Olympics, it's a sport." He was pretty fast.

19. What could he spend hours doing? Got bogo on the brain? Um, preaching, teaching, correcting, philosiphying. Take your pick. Even his English Teacher assumed he was a Preacher because of the way he speaks to the class. He loves to bestow his wisdom. Which, he actually has a lot of. Maybe he can't figure out the buttons for playstation, but he could singlehandedly bring about world peace if we'd all listen.

20. What is one unique talent he has? He has the unique talent of being able to bug the fire out of you and win you over in the same conversation. He's really hard to live with sometimes because he is sooooooooo good. Really. Eagle Scout good. ALL THE TIME. Never breaks a rule. Goes the speed limit... exactly. If I had a dime for all the times I've said, "I KNOW you're right, but dang it, can't I be the good one for once?"


Okay, let's get real here. I know I like to joke a lot about why he makes me crazy, but in reality, he is the air I breathe. In nine years he has not once made me feel like I wasn't the most beautiful woman in the world. Never made a sarcastic comment, is always the first to apologize, he's endlessly entertaining, still gets my door, and kisses my lips every night... thrice. you get the picture. His family says that if they are Lehi's family then Danny is Nephi. How true it is.

To My First Love

To the first man to look me in the eyes, to hold my hand and kiss me good-night. The first man to tell me "I Love You".


I love you, Dad. You'll always be my Valentine no matter the distance between us.

And the Love of My Eternities

Here's where it all started, nine years ago. After a night at the Hot Pots (and a scar!) we made it to our first Valentine's day, our first flight, our first kiss.


When we met you were just a cute little student pilot with maybe 100 hours trying to manuever your way into a career and my heart. What an adventure it's been watching you grow professionally over the last 4500+ hours!!! You're the dadgum sexiest Captain I've ever seen!


Thank you for believing that I can be anyone I want to be, but all I ever want to be is your girl, everyday, forever.


You fulfill my every need; from imparting your wisdom, to impromptu raps over lunch, to kisses that melt me. You make me laugh till I cry, and cry till I laugh.


I don't know how I snagged you, but I'm sure not letting you go!


I love you, Danny. You're the man I'll always fight for (and with). Will you be my Valentine one more time?

Why haven't I ever seen this kind of talent in our ward? Let's go, guys!

Take a Break, America

Okay, maybe I went a little overboard with all the emails, texts, and phonecalls, but I was really excited about this free meal. Why? Because it was way more than a free meal... indulge me this. Finally, someone at the top is giving something back. This economy isn't just hurting people who can't and don't pay their bills, it's hurting those of us who go without food to pay our bills. Those of us who understand what it means to fight for a good name and great credit. Does anyone care about that anymore? I'm so tired of seeing the rampant dishonesty and irresponsibilty of our society. Sure, go ahead and give that banana to your child to eat before you get to the check out at Wal-Mart. Way to stick it to the man. You cheated Wal-Mart out of 32 cents... I hope it was worth your SOUL!! Okay, I know that'a a little extreme, but really, what has happened to everyone's sense of integrity? Something seems amiss when your accountant is asking "Just how big of a tax return do you want... I can work the numbers." Really? Is it worth it? I don't know, it all seems black and white to me. So thank you Denny's for taking a hit for the working class American who needed a break.



We got up at 5:30 to beat the sure to come lines. The kids thought it was cool that they were awake before the sun, they even made up a little jingle to sing for the drive, "Wake up the sun... Wake the sun up!"



My boys love a free meal.



And we love having no dishes to clean afterwards.



Mmmmmmmmmm, my tummy is so happy.

Another Daddy's Boy

What'd you say, Daddy? You love me?



Yeah, I know.

This is how we spend Quiet Time...

BREAKING NEWS: MICKEY TAKES TIGGER DOWN!



"M-I-C-K-E-Y...M-I-O-SO-CUTE?!"



"And the most wonderful thing about Tiggers is I'm the only one!"

"What do you mean there's no more milk?"

Thar she blows!

So I tried uploading the video of the eruptions but it didn't work. The kids thought this was the coolest thing ever. Yea for science day!
