Damsel in Shining Armor...

...Clumsily rescuing my Knight in Distress!

Today while I was sitting at work, I received a phone call that I never thought I'd EVER get. Marcel called me to tell me that he had run out of gas on the freeway! Yes you read that right, Marcel.Ran.Out.Of.Gas!!! So, being the heroine that I am, I rushed to his rescue! I ran home, got an empty gas can, hustled to get it filled at the Maverik in Santaquin, then went in search of my Knight! When I stopped at the light to get back on the freeway I got a strong whiff of gasoline but didn't think much of it considering where I had just come from. I drove down the freeway and saw Marcel's car pulled to the side of the road to which I pulled in behind him.

Marcel saw me in his rear view mirror, got out of the car, and walked towards the truck with a big smirk on his face that said "I know, I know"! I watched him walk around to the back of the truck where the gas can lay and saw his shoulders slump. I instantly knew what he was seeing, which he confirmed when he came around to the window to tell me it had spilled all over the truck bed. *sigh*, just my luck.

He took the can and made a feeble attempt to pour the remaining drops into his tank, which actually worked.....a little! The Mustang started after a minute of persuading and I followed him to the next exit, where the car ran out of gas for a 2nd time at the bottom of the off-ramp, a mear 100-200yrds away from the gas station!! FOR.THE.LOVE!!!!

We each pulled off of the road and I sat with the car, head held in shame, while Marcel took the truck to fill up the gas can, again, and bring it back to the poor Mustang.

This time it didn't spill, because he put the cap on the correct way, and he was able to fill up the Mustang enough to make the long 1 block journey to the gas station!

Yeah....I'm not the greatest rescuer, but I sure do try! We're already laughing about this and I now know how to put the cap back on a gas tank!!!

Look who's all grown up! **tear**

Austen's Freshman picture came today. My mom went to put it in his frame and took a little trip down memory lane. She decided to invite me along via text!

And finally:

I honestly teared up a bit looking back at these! What a handsome boy! I just love this little guy (who is now WAY taller than me....)!

Also, he already has girls chasing after him! Just look at him though! These girls are swooning! Haha! I really am not sure how I feel about this at this time.....I'll get back to you in like 6 more years....!

One of Austen's notebooks, obviously! ;)

I now pronounce you....

Today a very dear friend of ours got married! It was a beautiful ceremony and we couldn't be happier for these two! They are so perfect for each other and it is so cute to see them both so happy and in love!

On our way to the ceremony! So beautiful!
"I Love to see the Temple, I'm going there someday......"

Beautiful Ceremony!

On a completely separate subject, today was also my 5 year class reunion. I wasn't able to go because of reasons above but I was totally fine with that because how much do you really change in 5 years?!

Okay so some people and life change quite a bit, and it would've been fun to see everyone again all in the same place. I'll make a bigger effort to get the the 10 year Reunion!

Go NS Hawks - Class of 2007!!! ;)

We stopped in Moroni on our way home from the wedding and upon remenicing of old school days I decided to bust out my clarinet to see if I "still got it"! The answer to that is......not so much!  Haha! But it was fun anyway! I think everyone was glad when I finally decided I was done trying (much like when I was first learning how to play it!)!

Picture taken with a phone so it isn't a very clear one....but maybe that is for the best! ;)

Welcome Back.....

Maybe vacations are a little overrated when you come back to a scan pile like this....

Nah! I'd do it again (and I will)! :)

Dinner Date

Yesterday Uli invited me to go to "Linner" at The Happy Sumo! We haven't seen each other in quite a while so we had a good time catching up on everything and laughing while enjoying some delicious food!

We had a great time! I'm so glad I'm so lucky to have such an awesome mother-in-law! :)

I just had to include some neat pictures I took on the way home (well I think they're neat, and since this is my blog.....here they are!)!

Just because....

....I love him so much! :)

Visit from a Cutie Pie!

Suzanna and her mom were headed to St. George with this little cutie for the weekend. Since it was on the way, they stopped for a bit so we could visit! At first Berlin didn't recognize us so she was fussy but after a quick diaper change and a bit to eat she was all smiles! We can't believe how much she has grown since the last time we spent time with her! She can already feed herself! 

Now she pulls herself up with no problems and she can crawl like nobody's business! And her two bottom teeth?! So cute! We took some cute video of her being chatty and crawling around everywhere so we can remember when she's older!

I know I've said it a lot but we sure do miss seeing this little cutie! :)

We love you Berliny!

(Marcel's little nickname for her!)
