BBQ...

Kellen and I

My brothers

Last night my parents had our family over for a BBQ, to say goodbye to my brother Kyle. Kyle has been away at school for a month and a half and came home just for my birthday. It was great seeing him! I have missed him, since I am use to seeing him often. But I am glad that he is enjoying school and doing well.

MacCools...

Last night my parents took my two brothers and I out to dinner for my birthday. We ate at a cool Irish restaurant called MacCools, in the District. We watched the football games and had some great food! Thanks mom and dad for the money and dinner and Kellen and Kyle for the Utah Utes sweatshirt and football party tray.

I am 27!!

Today is my birthday and I can't believe that I am 27 years old! Where has the time gone!? I guess with all of the hustle and bustle of life...work...marriage...family and friends time flies by. It seems that this has been a never ending birthday since I have been celebrating it since Saturday. I am so excited because my little brother is coming home from school this weekend for my birthday and we have plans with my family. Thanks to everyone for the birthday comments, cards, texts, phone calls, and gifts. I really appreciate it. I have such awesome family and friends!

Bombay House...

Last night a couple of my friends from work took Renel and I out to dinner for our birthday's. We went to the Bombay House and had some great Indian food. Thanks everyone for the gifts and thanks Dave for paying for our meal.

Early Birthday Part 2...

Tonight my mom, dad, and brother Kellen came over to our house to watch football and the Yankee's game. My mom made homemade chili in bread bowls and brought it over for dinner. She also brought me an early birthday cake. The chili was awesome, like usual and the cake was delicious too! Thanks everyone.

Congrats to the New York Yankees on their final home game win at this Yankee Stadium, they will be moving across the street next year.

Body World's 3...

couldn't take my camera inside, so this is the best I could do.

Today Jake and I went downtown to The Leonardo at Library Square to see Body World's 3 and the story of the heart. This was one of the most fascinating things I have ever seen! It took about a hour to walk through the entire museum. We saw human bodies and organs that were real and belonged to living people at one time. All of the people and organs were donated to science. Everything went through what is called plastination, a 1,500 hour process to preserve the bodies and organs. All of the bodies were in poses to show the different muscles that were used in that particular pose and they had normal organs and organs with tumors. It was very educational and amazing, even to myself, who is in the medical field. Jake also thought it was awesome.

Early Birthday...

Last night Jake took me to the Oyster Bar-Market Street Grill for my birthday dinner. My birthday isn't until Thursday but Jake is going to be gone Friday until Sunday hunting. The Oyster Bar is one of our favorite places to eat. The food is always delicious! After dinner we came home to finish watching the football games and he gave me my present early also. He got me a black Roxy hooded zip up jacket that is lined with wool and has the Roxy sign on the front of it in bright colors. It is so comfy and warm! Thanks babe for an awesome early birthday!

Dining Table...

This is my new dining table that we bought over Labor Day weekend. I have had my eye on this table for quite some time now. My old table was glass, only seated four, and was very small. So we needed a table that was bigger and seated more people. We just happened to go into RC Willey and they had the exact same table for $300 less than the other place that we had been looking. It came with the table and four chairs, but I wanted eight. So when we went to check out they gave us the chairs for $88 a piece instead of $129. We figured that we saved almost $500 buying it at RC Willey during the Labor Day sale!

Greek Festival.....Opa!

Danny, Kellen, and Jake.

My mom and her friend Bonnie.

On Saturday, September 6, 2008, my dad, mom, brother Kellen, his roommates Trevor and Danny, Jake, and I went to the Greek Festival. My mom and dad's good friends are Greek and help run the festival every year. We ate some great food, drank some beer, and watched some dancing. My parent's friends daughters dance in the festival every year too. We were there for a couple of hours and then headed home to watch the Utes and the Florida Gators play football and the UFC. Go Utes and Gators!! I was very disappointed that Chuck Liddell lost, he is my favorite. I think this is the end of the road for Chuck. We all had such an awesome time.
