Saturday Adventures w/ Kels and Riss




Saturday was the first day that we finally got the fabulous trio together again! Oh what fun times we have! Kelsey, Lorissa, and I drove down to Salt Lake City....for no particular reason....just to do something. We ended up going to the Family Christmas Gift Expo in Sandy, which was actually pretty cool! Lorissa won us some free candy by dropping a quarter into a shot glass at the bottom of fish bowl - She's got some mad quarter dropping skill let me tell ya! I just wish we could have stayed longer! There was so much to look at! After that we went to Fazoli's for dinner. I am so bummed that we don't have one of those in Logan because it is quite delectable!! We tried to decide what to do next....and decided to see if we could find David Archuleta's house. Kels and I are insanely in love with that boy, and it sounded like a good adventure to us! Riss is such a good sport! ha ha So we asked Cha Cha what David's parents names were and then looked them up in the borrowed Fazoli's phone book. They were listed and we used the GPS on my phone to find the address...and we found it! We walked past his house like a dozen times....Lorissa was trying to talk us into ringing the doorbell, but we were too chicken to do it. Plus it was getting kind of late. We ended up taking a fast picture though. Sadly I look awful in the picture because I was cold and nervous we were going to get caught, but ah well. At least I have a picture! After that little adventure we drove back to Logan and went up to Old Main to take some pictures. It was freezing, but fun! And VERY FUNNY! ha ha wow! I just love those two to death! They are seriously the coolest people you will ever meet!

The Big 25


This week was my parents 25'th anniversary....whew! They made it! Who would have ever thought they could last that long?! Not me! ha ha but I am SO glad that they did!! It has been pretty stressful on Cassie and I planning this thing! Oh boy! Trying to come up with what to do, what to give them, and how to make it look nice while being cheap....not any easy thing to do! Luckily it all came together and worked out perfectly! We sent Mom and Dad to eat at The Roof for dinner, with a beautiful corsage and boutonniere I might add, and as soon as they left we went into crazy panic mode and set up everything for a small surprise party for them. We had two chocolate fountains, tons of food, cake, and ice cream. Cassie and I were in charge of the food, Zach and Jess were in charge of the decorations- which looked great guys! The big shocker of the night was that we actually pulled off surprising them! That is a miracle in and of itself because I am THE WORST LIAR in all the world!! And my parents ALWAYS figure it out, or at least suspect something. But we pulled it off superbly! It was a good night and everything went very smoothly! We made them one of those picture slideshows with all the old family pictures. It turned out great. My mom watched it at least five times that night.... I think she cried every time! We have cake and chocolate coming out of ears now, so we will all probably be really fat for a while, but its all good! Cake and chocolate are definitely worth it! Honestly, I am just relieved its over! Good luck on the 50'th Jessica and Zach! Cassie and I are DONE!! Woo Hoo!!!!

It's late. I need to be in bed right now, but the pull to write is stronger than the pull of my night time meds, so .... here I am. T...
