My parents bought new chicks on Friday (9 hens and 1 rooster) and the pictures were too adorable to not give them a spot on the blog :)
It makes me miss the country!

My new love for Hoops & Yoyo...
I've seen them before, I've seen them a bunch of times... but suddenly they've taken on new meaning as I've started surfing through their many ecards and have discovered just how HILARIOUS they are! I think they are now my official pick-me-up. Check out a few examples to see what I mean...

Craig Morgan II
Thanks (once again!) to Jason for hooking us up with some sweet tickets! Matt had never gotten over his jealousy that I got to see Craig Morgan in concert without him last summer, so this concert was much anticipated for our household :)
After admiring the salt flats for a few hours (aka: nothing - see picture), we finally made it into town and had 
a fast but fun night (minus when we all didn't feel too hot after eating at a buffet). Matt got to meet Craig and try to creep him out by knowing the area he lives in- however, I guess Matt wasn't as creepy as me (?) bc their conversation seemed to flow a lot better than my previous attempt and basically ended with Craig inviting us to gamble with them after the concert (too bad we don't gamble)! Although we only ran into Craig once after the concert, I think Matt is slyly implying we hung out with him :)

One more note... Matt ended up voluntarily hopping behind the counter with Jason and helping him sell merchandise after the concert... I found it pretty funny! Particularly because Matt looked like he fit in with the country crowd more than Jason. :) I guess there is always room for one more.

I've been tagged twice... and I realized I could only avoid it for so long! So, without further delay, here we go!
First...
Non-essential things about me:
1. I like to do pots and pans by hand... even if they are dishwasher safe (much to Matt's dismay).
2. My toes are ALWAYS painted.
3. I only recently found out I wasn't a "mistake" baby, but only a surprise! (and a good one, if I do say so myself *wink*).
4. I quickly forget most of the story of any book I read... even if I loved it.
5. I have a blanket fetish... Matt always has to pry me away from them in stores!
6. I google anything and everything... and I'm good at it! Need to know how many gallons of gas a car takes, what country an animal originates, how to fix a refrigerator?... there are no limits!
Something most people don't know about me: I absolutely love efficiency (particularly in things I am invested in)... some people may know that already :)

10 years ago I was: Finishing up 8th grade, getting over my 3 year crush on John Herring, and looking forward to High School and Seminary (big girl stuff)!
5 things on my 'to do' list today
1. Go to work - try to appear competent to the patients.
2. Make a to-do list for tomorrow (my day off!).
3. Figure out how to spend my time tonight while Matt holds two meetings at our house (Elder's quorum and HOA - yipee!).
4. Attempt to work out
5. Return phone calls!
5 Things I would do if I became a billionaire:
1. Pay off our debts (house, car)
2. Pay off our family's debt - everyone!
3. Set up some awesome investments, funds, etc. I would make a fund like my friend's family - they have a trust that is strictly to fund family vacations every few years (and it pays everything for everyone). How cool is that?
4. TRAVEL! Everywhere.
5. Buy lots of land and build a home - with our wrap around porch, horses, a pond (or maybe I should opt for LAKE), and a four-wheeler for Matt for cruising around the property, etc!
3 of my bad habits:
1. Wasting time in the morning
2. Touching my face
3. Being grumpy to Matt
5 places I've lived:
1. Ohio
2. Florida
3. Tennessee - a rental house for a year
4. Tennessee - our house!
5. Utah
6 jobs I've had
1. Sonic Car Hop
2. Custodial in the library on campus
3. Secretary for the English Comp office
4. Taught Social Skills to Elementary School kids
5. Financial Aid Office
