blizzards make me happy

In case the rest of you cursed the snowstorm that is still going on outside...

Just wanted you to know, spring snow makes me smile.

{really, blizzards of any sort make me happy, including the kind from Dairy Queen. Yes please.}

I completely forgot about St. Patrick's Day. Not until I just googled something at work and I saw this little reminder did I realize.

Suffice it to say I did not wear green today. My hope is this: given that I'm not in junior high any more, I will manage to get through the day without getting called out for it. I can't think of anything more annoying than getting pinched.

"Nutmeg sat stoically atop the cushions. Yet her internal dialogue was a cacophony of discordant thoughts, mostly centered on the absurdity of the double Nelson clocks."

sometimes

Sometimes my sense of humor offends people.
And sometimes I'm sorry.
This is one of those times.

My baby brother Josh just had his 19th birthday last week... a baby no more, I guess. We took him to Mikado because he was feeling brave and wanted to try sushi. We showered him with sweet gifts like a six-pack of Kraft Mac n' Cheese, Toaster Strudels, candy, and four super soft t-shirts.
And of course we didn't forget the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles bandanna.
Donatello.
Thanks for asking.

And in belated news - Josh also got his mission call, albeit on Christmas Eve. So without further ado, I'd like to announce that Josh is going on his mission to
CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA!







That kid is going to be so amazing down there. He is so excited, and we are all very excited for him. My dad is already getting sad about losing his little buddy, and I'm sure we will all miss him a ton. Josh is such a great kid and I know he'll do so great.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEED!
Love you brother.
{{His farewell will be on March 21 at 11am at the Fairfield Chapel, in case you're interested.}}

the best time to check the expiration date on the milk

... is before you take a massive thirst-quenching gulp. Turns out, it expired a week ago.

Well well wellllllll..... so much to say, so little time. First off, sorry I haven't updated on which job I chose. I accepted the job at the Davis Conference Center. The trouble is a third job offer rolled in at the last minute, and things got complicated quickly.

So I'll update on all that some other time. But in short, I just accepted a job working for Tom Stuart in Bountiful, and I'm so excited about it. It will be a wonderful job and Mr. Stuart was very generous offering it to me. From what I know, I will be doing a little bit of everything and will most certainly be utilizing my experience, my education, and my brain. So I'm looking forward to it!

And to celebrate the new job, Rhett called me with a surprise - we're going to the Jazz game tonight! He found crazy tickets online for a crazy price. All I can say is - - -

Guys. Watch for me on TV tonight! 3rd row baby, somewhere I think towards the basket on the Cav's side. I've never been so close. Tickets? Great tickets. You can smell the sweat. (name that movie) The game is on TNT at 8:30pm.

Oh heavens. What will I wear? Gotta run.



P.S. Dear Kody, Thanks for the great job! I owe it all to you. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate it. You're the best!
