What we've been up to lately

We went to the body world exhibit in Salt lake, it was very interesting and wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The body's didn't even look real that was the main thing I was worried about. I really enjoyed looking at all the organs, I love to learn about the body and how everything works. i always wanted to be a nurse but i cant do the whole blood thing, so that shot down that job lol One of my favorite parts of the exhibit was the baby section where you got to see each step of how the grow in the womb, it was sad at the same time to see the babies that had died. If you ever go to Vegas I would suggest going to the exhibit there it is supposed to be bigger and better.



This weekend I had my brothers and sister over for a slumber party. Kena (little sis) has been asking me for so long when we get to have a sleepover again. So we finally found a day that would work. My mom told me that she had been counting down everyday and couldn't wait to stay the night. We made orange Julius, popcorn, watched "Mama Mia", played guitar hero.

In the morning I made them french toast, hash browns, and bacon. It was Delicious. I gained ten pounds but it was so worth it. After we got ready we took the kids home and it was off to Salt Lake for the auto expo (Jeff wants to write about this so I'll leave the details for him), we made a pit stop to pick up our wedding album and negatives lol it's almost been a year. After that we went looking at houses. It was pretty depressing seeing some of the houses, most of them were short sale homes which means that the owners own the bank more than the house is worth and the bank pretty much has kicked them out so you have to deal with the banks to get the house. Out of the eight we went to only two didn't really need any work done on it. The rest were in pretty bad shape, I think this is going to be a long process, but when the time is right we will find the place that is right for us and where we are supposed to be. I can't wait till we have our own home it will be so nice :)

My sister and her husband got a short sale house, it was a TON of work. But they are so glad they did it because it was cheaper, also it was so messed up that they HAD to get new carpet, hardwood, paint and tile. lol That was so exciting for her, they got to pick out stuff according to their style and taste. And that really made it "Theirs". Good luck!! Let me know how it goes, that is SOO Exciting!!

My Mom went to the Bodyworld exhibit in Vegas and she said it's WAY better than the one here. (She went to the one here a couple weeks ago with Devanee) Anyways, I was gonna go here too but decided if my Mom said it wasn't worth it, I didn't want to waste the money.. Oh well. I'm excited for you guys to find a house! It's so great to be able to do what you want with your home! We miss you guys! We need to hang out soon!
