maybe its because I grew up to bethany singing me this song/making me tape music videos of her singing it. Whatever the reason..i like it. watch it!

Great News!

The 5-year-old version of Dwight Shrute is in one of my swim classes!

Not only does he look exactly like Dwight, he knows everything about all sorts of creatures. I am so happy!

Unfortunately, I don't think i'm allowed to take pictures of the kids, so this will have to suffice..use your imagination.

how i spend my time

I was in Hobby Lobby when I recognized the tune of "As Zions Youth in Latter Days" playing throughout the store, followed by various fancy instrumental arrangments of LDS hymns.. interesting. It actually made walking down endless isles of beads and paint kinda peacful.

On a less happy note, I really dislike sunburns, night lessons, and the smell of chlorine... oh and when kids clubs come to the pool (4598 kids with 4 adults)
I do, however, love my tadpoles!

We Got More BOunCe in California

For the past three years, it has been tradition to take a little roadtrip to cali with my girls. It's always a blast.. and this may be my last one :(

A few of my favorite moments from each trip:

Trip #1-

-building sandcastles

-fun checks (became a trip tradition)

-the AMAZING continental breakfast consisting of stale pastries and tang

-being car-stalked by some young cowboys.. i believe the bumper sticker read "rednecks always come out on top"

Trip # 2

-staying with a lady who made incredible animal noises and had many funny stories

- photo shoots

-nearly running out of gas in the middle of nowhere

-exile island/skinny driving

Trip # 3

-stank faces

-crazy man who posed a very thought-provoking question: "Is there such thing as college? or is it just a bunch of guys wanting to ya??"

-the parking garage of death

I love music.

My new favorite musics right now are as follows:

Beyonce

After listening to Sasha Fierce and seeing her special guest appearance on Wow Wow Wubbzy (don't ask), I'm a fan.

Adam Lambert

Beautiful! Thanks for introducing me to your bff Amy.

Perry Como

old people music. love it! its..charming.

Music from the Slumdog Millionaire Soundtrack

i just like it!

the news!

So I'm officially engaged to Jacob Ellsworth, and I'm soo excited!

This guy is the best! (and i'm not just saying that...even ask my mom or anyone else who knows him)

Answers to FAQ:

1. How'd he do it?

We were in Tempe on the lake in pedal boats. We were just talking and pedaling when he suddenly was turning towards me and getting down on one knee (or attempting to...it's NOT easy in a pedal boat). He asked and I said yes. Then I made fun of him for trying to kneel in the boat.

sidenote--I knew it was coming since a. he was leaving the next day to be in Texas ALL summer :( and b. he's bad at lying. But I was still a little surprised tha he did it right THEN.

2. When?

August 15. Don't make plans!

3. What does the ring look like?!
