visiting with Nana

eating yummy home cooked meals
going to the symphony
enjoying the So Cal weather

Come Once, Date Thrice
Last night I attended "Come Once, Date Thrice" {an ultimate speed dating experience}.
I got picked up by my first date and we went to the church and ate salad. He is a professional surgery-getter. He has had 13 surgeries on his leg in the last 3 years due to a motorcycle crash. He was popping a wheely around a corner and gravity won! Ouch!
We ate dinner with our second date. My date recently got back from teaching English in China so he brought some chop sticks...so we ate spaghetti with chopsticks. Pretty creative. He's definitely a cute 22 year old Mormon boy {Peter Priesthood style}.
We had dessert witht the third date. After the date, he took me home and he had some yellow roses {conveniently} sitting in the front seat. He told me he got them for his grandma's grave for the next day, but that she woudn't mind as he handed me a rose {a yellow one aka the universal "friendship" rose}.
Even thought I didn't meet my {soul mate} and won't be married in 6 weeks as promised, it was a fun night and a good way to get to know more people in the ward. The funniest part was that throughout the night they kept telling the boys what to do like "you're going to find your date, introduce yourself, ask her if she'd like a brownie and ice cream, just a brownie, or just ice cream and then your gonna get her that item..." It's like they were trying to educate them. I think i got gyped though 'cuz they told them that they were "going to take us home, walk us up to the porch, give us a hug and a kiss." {Neither of which happened}.
It was fun being a player. Now if only I could get my own three dates all in one day!
Good night!

Bry Guy Came to Town
Hungry for a midnight snack...
Our hillbilly toes...maybe even Shrek style.
Watch out! Bryan got to go {real} shooting with the cousins one morning.
Sure glad he survived the jumping cactus attack!
My hand is the one on the left and Bry's is on the right...Pretty much the same size. He's growing up!

Don't really know...
Ah, for cute!Mom and Bry Guy came to town this weekend. So fun to have them!
Bry and I had a lot of fun taking these silly pix at midnight...some of which are not be pictured here! {We still have SOME pride!}
Joys of Being a Homeowner
My first {joy} of being a homeowner...REPAIRS!Last week I was putting some stuff away in the laundry room and I came upon a not so happy sight! The closet was being inundated by mold. Yuck! Who woulda thought? The house isn't all that OLD! The area by the water heater on the other side of the wall was completely dry. The ceiling was dry...the leak HAD to be coming from inside the wall!
I contacted the home builder and they came to the rescue. Come to find out, when they put in the shelf one of the nails pierced the pipe and slowly, but surely the pipe leaked leaving perfect conditions for mold! Lucky for me the home builder stepped up to the plate and the repairs didn't come out of my pocket book! Whew!
So glad I found it when I did!

I believe in Angels
Around noon today there was a big, loud bang, bash...the sound of a crash. Oddly, most of us didn't think much of it 'cause there's crashes at that intersection all the time...people driving too fast and no left turn arrow...often not a good combination....This time it was much worse!
Several of my coworkers were on their way to get a burger and were at the corner waiting for the "white man" to flash signaling that it was safe to cross. Well, someone made an unsafe left turn and bam two cars collided. One of the cars lost control, hit a large electrical box and pinned one of my pedestrian coworkers between the car, the electrical box and a bush! She couldn't move. All we could see was her blonde head poking out. The cops and fire department arrived shortly. The paramedics couldn't get her out! They ended up mangling the bush and eventually got her free. They placed her on a stretcher, neck brace and all, and the ambulance took her...we didn't know what her condition was...
She was released a few hours later! Seriously it was a miracle! She's complaining of hip pain and I'm sure she'll be quite sore, but she's ok! No blood! No broken bones! She seriously had to have an angel watching over her! There had to be other angels watching my other coworkers who escaped unscathed! It could have and should have been much worse!
The crazy thing is that about five minutes before the crash, I mentioned to another coworker that I wanted to go to Neds Krazy Subs for lunch, but I decided against it 'cause I, for once, brought my lunch. A restaurant sandwich sounded so much better though! I was so grateful I opted to eat my {not so exciting} lunch instead! I very easily could have been walking over with my coworkers to get lunch! It very easily could have been me! Crazy! {Sigh!/Deep breath!}
We were all quite shaken up, but quite relieved to hear that she has minimal injuries considering!
