Quirks

Okay, I've been tagged (a few days ago)by Brandy, Jimmy's cousin.
The Rules:
1. Link the person(s) who tagged you
2. Mention the rules on your blog
3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours
4. Tag 6 fellow bloggers by linking them
My Quirks:
(I've been thinking hard about these)
1. I don't feel put together if I don't have ear rings in and my hair curled or straightened. Only exception is pony tail days. Even then I don't like scraggly ends.
2.I like to talk on the phone while doing dishes-unloading/loading the dish washer.
3. I like to iron. I don't mind it, but I only iron when I need to-I'll pull it out of the closet and iron it and wear it. I have ironed my kids clothes, and yes, of course, my hubby's.
4. I find my fingers moving to music as if they were playing notes on an instrument-not for all songs I hear, mainly songs I have or can see the sheet music on, or songs I used to play (from my band days).
5. While my garage is full of other junk, my surburban is parked outside. I have to make sure the vehicle is locked before I go to bed at night. I'll get out of bed to make sure its locked.
6. I love checking the mail! I try not to race out the second the mail man goes past, but I love getting the mail! I'll let my kids get the mail, but I have to be there so I don't miss anything!

Who(m?) to tag.....My two debbie's-burns & jorgensen, trisha, cassie, sadie, my two amy's-lund and miller, oh, and yes, crystal....and anyone else that can think of their fav quirks they would love to share with the blog world or anyone else that checks my blog!

Legacy Race

Saturday, Sept 13th I ran a 5K on the Legacy Parkway. The road was not offically open, so it was okay to run down the middle of the road. Two of my uncles ran the race, and Jimmy, my dad, my brother Lee, and friend Carl volunteered, and I knew a person doing the 10K and bike ride. Overall, it was a fun event. I didn't improve my 5K time much, but still took 7th out of the women, and 2nd for my age division in women. My uncle on the left in the picture took 3rd place overall. I hope to get more pictures from other people to add, but here is one before the race.

September Fun

Utah Womens Football Clinic

I got heard of a Womens Football Clinic at the U. I wanted to do it, and recruited a neighbor to come with me. My first class was Wednesday. LOVED IT!

We met in the Smith Athletic Center. We were introduced to the complete coaching staff, toured the weight room, and locker room. Here are a few pictures from the event. We had a slide show explaing positions, and how the Defense and Offense line up. I loved seeing all the goals posted, the team spirit and pride displayed everywhere, and on everything. I have two more clinics the weeks of home football saturday games. I love it! Coach Whittingham also came in and talked to us. He reviewed some tape from the Michigan game, explained some things, and even took questions from the ladies. There were about 60+ women there, all ages. It was great~Can't wait for the next one! GO UTES! Game day tomorrow! GO UTES!

Good Times

We've been busy. Lots of good times! Let's see how brief I can make the last couple of weeks.

For our anniversary, we were able to go out while Jimmy's parents watched the kids. We rode the FrontRunner train to downtown. We ate at Olive Garden, then went to the Gateway for some shopping. It was nice! Having no kids around for the evening is a treat!

Another Saturday, we rode the FrontRunner train into Salt Lake. We rode the train and the Trax up to the University of Utah to attend the Ute Fan Fest. We got a few pictures, and saw a few U athletes. It was hot, but I think the kids had fun. Then we rode Trax back downtown so I could watch Mamma Mia with Jimmys' mom and sister. Jimmy took the kids home, but came back in after we were done with the movie. It was a fun day using mass transit.

Everyone but Jimmy got sick in a week period. I am watching some kids a few days of the week, and getting use to that. Ashley has been off track, but is back in school now, and LOVES IT.

Jimmy is still playing hockey. We all attended a game a few weeks ago. Charlie and Sarah watched a lot of the game, almost half, and had so much fun cheering for daddy!

Football season is starting up, and we had a few people over to watch the Utah vs. Michigan game. We went out to dinner with some friends, yummy, and fun time.

So life is good and full of good things. Jimmy is still in school! Passing classes and trying to keep up with his two fantasy football teams.

We went to Layton Surf-n-Swim a Friday night. It was cool after the sun went down. I went in the water with the kids. Charlie didn't hang out long. He got out and sat with Grandpa Jack. Ashley didn't like being in the waves, but Sarah went out to the 6 ft. deep part with me and floated with the waves. Tough girl! It was fun, even if we were there about an hour or so.

We lost power at our house the Sunday of Labor Day. A nasty storm blew in, and our neighborhood lost power. Crazy storm. Labor Day we attended the Labor Day Car Show in Magna. The labor unions have a big party and we went out. My dad entered a car in the car show, and Jimmy's parents help run the car show, registration, and some Tshirt sales. It was a cold, wet morning, but it cleared up.

8 is Great

Jimmy & I have been married for 8 years! 8=great
I wanted to scan in some of our wedding photos, but that hasn't happened yet! We were married August 18, 2000 in the Salt Lake Temple. We met in December 1999 on a blind date. The date went okay, and we began hanging out/dating in January. (It was easy for him-I stopped by his house after work. I lived in Kaysville, and went to school at the U and worked downtown!) We were engaged in May, and married in August.
Our 8 years together has been filled with many trips to California, camping around Utah, hockey games, a few movies, spending time with both families, work, school, kids, other sporting events, and many other great memories!
We are very happy to have each other. We are each others best friends. We've laughed, cried, and been angry at each other, but we are GREAT!
I am looking forward to anniversary #10-a trip somewhere-maybe Hawaii! :)
