So it's our last night of child-free frolicking. We went to an open house in SLC (free dinner!), meandered for a bit through IKEA (we hadn't been since opening day), and decided to catch a movie. We stopped at the theater at Thanksgiving Point, and they were playing Evan Almighty, but we would have had to wait for 40 minutes. So Aaron suggested we ( Read more... )

So I know it's the best possible solution for everyone. I trust my mom more than anyone else. I know that they will have an absolute ball. But I just kissed my babies good-bye until next Thursday. Gaaaaahhhhh ( Read more... )

Loved Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Keep in mind that I separate the movies from the books entirely, because seriously, a proper cinematic translation would take at least six hours per book. So I actually have quite the respect for any director who undertakes the task. Here he's got 800+ pages of great material, a window of no more ( Read more... )

Nothing deal-breaking came up in the home inspection -- a missing shingle, and a few nail pops that the sellers will fix before closing. Can I just mention how much I love this house? If what we went through with the first one was requisite to find this home, I don't even mind. I like this house THAT much. I'm very excited. Not so much about the ( Read more... )

Obviously, the Powers That Be read my last entry and decided to pick on me ( Read more... )

* Wedding was fabulous. Jen looked gorgeous. Cooper rocked his little tux like nothing else. Now the newlyweds are home and Jen had to go back to work today. That's pretty much all I've got about that ( Read more... )

I have spent the last three days going through stuff we don't want anymore, and deciding how much money I should expect someone else to pay for it during the garage sale tomorrow. Good times. But hey -- if we sell half this stuff, we're going to have a GREAT time at IKEA when it opens on Wednesday! (Hey, you people who have been to an IKEA grand ( Read more... )

So I hear that there are people who post to their live journals like, every day and crap. What's up with that? I'm down with the six week gaps, yeah. And bullets. Bullets are the coolest ( Read more... )

So the mayor of Salt Lake City is an idiot. And on top of being an idiot, he's a rude, foolish, and condescending idiot. Here's the thing -- I like to consider myself a fairly open-minded person. I know, some of you are laughing at the concept of an open-minded Mormon, bet hear me out ( Read more... )

I have come to the simple, yet disturbing conclusion that there are too damn many 12-14 year-old girls voting 673 times each for Sanjaya. Yes, he's kind of pretty. Yes, he has shiny hair (but that curly thing he had going on the other night? Just ick.), but girls... the boy cannot sing. I was kind of meh about Brandon, so I'm not terribly sad at ( Read more... )
