Big Al's...

Last week Thomas and I went to Big Al's to hang out with some friends and watch the Poinsettia Bowl (okay, only I was there to watch the Poinsettia Bowl which Utah State won!) While we were there we were finally reunited with Maddy! 

After we had dinner we went to the arcade. 

Adam won the Jackpot! 250 tickets!

This game let Thomas play without paying!

He definitely got his money's worth!

The day Thomas made a young girl cry...

Last week Thomas and I went to his work Christmas party. During the party they had a gift exchange where people could steal presents...you know...the one that everyone does at all parties. Before the gift exchange even started Thomas' co-worker said that she brought a lava lamp because everyone should have one when marijuana becomes legal. Thomas said that he was going to get it. I didn't know if he was joking or not, but I really hoped that he wasn't! I've wanted a lava lamp ever since the one I had died when I was a teenager! I was STOKED to get a lava lamp and didn't think that anyone would steal it from us.

Someone opened it and was very disappointed. She was super happy when Thomas stole it from her. Shortly after that another person opened a present and it was another lava lamp! The woman who opened it had a young daughter that didn't seem too interested in the lamp.

When there were only a few people left and I thought I was home free, SOMEONE STOLE THE LAMP FROM US! Rude! Thomas then went and stole the other lamp from the girl (who didn't look that interested in it). Apparently she liked it WAY more than she showed because she started crying. It was so sad! A woman came up to Thomas and shook her finger in his face and said, "Shame, Shame, Shame. Shame on you. Shame, shame, shame!"

The little girl opened another present but she was still crying, so Thomas gave her back the lamp, which led to the guy giving us back our lamp. The little girl gave Thomas a huge hug and said, "Thanks. Thanks for giving me back the avalanche."

I feel slightly guilty, but not guilty enough to not LOVE having it!

Wife...

My sister LOVES to pretend to be animals. She is constantly acting like some animal. She even has a jump rope that she uses as a monkey tail. One day she was playing with her friend and he wanted to play house but she wanted to play dogs. My mom said that he could play house and have a pet dog. Then he said, "I DON'T WANT A DOG! I WANT A WIFE!" Hopefully she will want to be a wife more than an animal some day!

Quotes...

Enjoy the following quotes brought to you by my family and friends!

While listening to a song from the 70's...

"We listened to this song and danced when you were high."

"You were high?"

"I pretended to be..."

After watching a VHS movie and seeing the static at the end...

Makayla: "What's it going to do now?"

Brenna: "I don't know. It's just black and white dots."

"Hollister is a sex shop and you shouldn't go there."

When Brenna found out that I was moving but it wasn't to Nyssa.

Brenna: "She's moving already?"

Mom: "Yeah, just to another apartment in Boise."

Brenna: "Oh...they should move over here already."

After my cousin (who was in bed) heard my dad eating cereal at night...

"I heard you eating that bowl of cereal and I needed one so bad. That milk and crunch. Mmmm."

27 years old...

My birthday started off with Thomas surprising me at work with beautiful flowers and chocolate roasted almonds! My coworker came in and said, "A guy named Thomas is here for you." I said, "Why is my husband here?!" I was super excited! She said, "He never told me that he was your husband. He's in trouble!" After I went out to see him she walked by and said, "Don't kiss him until I get by. That's gross!" Haha!

My coworkers took me out to lunch! They are awesome! We went to Olive Garden! After lunch I worked with one of my favorite kids. He makes me super happy! The highlight of my hour and a half with him was when I opened my water bottle and it made a popping sound. He started laughing and asked to do it again. Love it!

I worked with my music therapy clients that afternoon and it was amazing! They make me happy!

When I got home Thomas greeted me at the door with a kiss! Then he told me that my cake was in the kitchen but he didn't know how to make frosting. He said that he tried but he didn't know what went wrong. I saw the frosting...he just forgot to put milk in it! He started to put the frosting on the cake, but he looked distressed, so I offered to help him. 

When we were done we went to my friend's house. My friend's decorated the house and made me lasagna! They didn't have candles so they put a sparkler in the cake. Good times! We also had a mini photo shoot :) Thomas passed out on the couch soon after the cake. Night shifts are getting to him...

Salsa, Onion Harvest, and Denver the Last Dinosaur...

Today Thomas and I went to my parents' house today and made more salsa!!!!!!!!!! We also went on an onion harvest adventure while the salsa was cooking.

My sister, her friend, Thomas, and I rode in the semi with my dad. It had a bunk bed!

I was super impressed with my dad's driving skills when he drove between these things.

The onion shed.

They loved the tiny window at the top of the truck.

My dad!

We took pictures to pass the time while waiting to unload!

My dad backed the trailer into the shed using the flashlights that the guys inside had to guide him. 

I've never seen so many onions in one place! 

It was fun seeing everything and hanging out with my dad! I haven't seen him much since harvest started. It will be done on Monday though!

Tonight I watched Denver the Last Dinosaur with my sisters.

I LOVED THIS MOVIE as a kid. I even had a shirt that my mom eventually threw away (while I cried) because there was barely anything left of it. It's super exciting that my sisters love it too!

Salsa...

Last Saturday Thomas and I went to my parents' house to make salsa! Before I got married my mom always let me have salsa. Now she expects me to help her make it...what?!? I'm addicted to my mom's salsa though, so there wasn't a choice. One time I ate half a jar in one sitting and then decided that maybe I should let Thomas have some. It sat in the fridge for 3 days and he didn't even touch it. Of course I ate it after 3 days. He came home and said, "Why did you eat all the salsa? I wanted some." Seriously?!? You can't leave salsa in the fridge for 3 days and expect me not to eat it. 

We started the day out right with donuts from M&W. It must have been donut day or something because we stood in line with three people ahead of us and there were three people behind us. They even ran out of plain donuts!

I forgot to take a picture of the finished project because it got done so late! I forgot that salsa took so long to cook. I'm excited to finally have some again!
