Really great poem!

My aunt sent me this poem and I really enjoyed it, so I wanted to share, hope you like it too!

Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.
And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.
And he rang mine but we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
"Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on Jim
Just to show that I'm thinking of him.
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner, yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram sir," "Jim died today."
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
Remember to always say what you mean.
If you love someone, tell them.
Don't be afraid to express yourself.
Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you.
Because when you decide that it is the right time it might
be too late.
Seize the day. Never have regrets..
And most importantly, stay close to your friends
and family, for they have helped
make you the person that you are today.

Happy 28th Birthday Mike!

Mike's birthday was Friday June 19th! I decided to surprise him when he got home from the gym before he went into work on Friday by decorating our bedroom door with differnt sayings and reasons why I love him! After which I made him breakfast! Later that afternoon we went out to Daybreak Lake and had a picnic and went a rubber raft around the lake. It was so much fun! I would totally recommend doing it, we had a blast! But keep in mind that the lake is a lot bigger then we had anticipated. At one point we got tired of rowing against the wind...well when I say "WE" I mean "Mike" got tired of rowing so we took the boat out and carried it along the path for a bit. But after getting rocks jabbed into our feet we decided to put the boat back in and Mike rowed us back to our car! Yay! Overall, it was a fabulous experience and can't wait to go out there again! That night we went out to dinner and saw the movie Year One. Lamest movie I have ever seen. I would not recommend going to see it. Happy 28th Birthday Mike...sure do love you! :)

On Saturday morning my brother decided he wanted to take out my parents boat. Crazy idea with the way that the weather has been, but fortunatly the weather was great! We headed up to Echo and went wake boarding and water skiing, we had a great time!

Happy One Year!!!!

Yesterday was our ONE year anniversary! I can't believe that it has already been one year! Where has the time gone?! Seriously, it seems just like yesterday that we got engaged. But now it has been one year and we are having a baby too! Life just goes by way too fast!
Mike and I decided that each year we are going to switch off and plan what we do for our anniversary. This year I voluntered to plan it since Mike planned our honeymoon. I planned it all and kept it a secret until the night of! I can't believe that I was able to pull it off because I tend to have a hard time keeping surprises! :)But on Tuesday when Mike got home from work I blind folded him and drove up to Solitude where we stayed a night in the resort up there. I made enchiladas,rice, and a raspberry jello salad one of his favorite meals. For dessert I ordered cookies just like the ones we had at our wedding. Wednesday morning we ate breakfast at Silver Fork Lodege. Neither one of us had been there before so it was a fun time! We went back to our condo and Mike got in the hot tub while I dangled my feet in the water since it is a little to hot for little Junior. To top off our day we did ceilings at the Salt Lake Temple, since that was the temple we got married in and then had dinner at the Garden. Im grateful that we got married a year ago and not yesterday do to the rain and the cold. Not that our day was that much warmer, but hey atleast we didnt have rain.
I am so thankful for the past year and for the opportunities Mike and I have been able to share with one another. I am so grateful for him and for the loving, kind, patient, thoughtful person that he is. I truly am so blessed to have him for Eternity..."Eternity Baby....Eternity"! Happy One Year Mike....with many, many, many more to come! :)I love you more today than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow! I love you Mike!

Happy 30th Birthday BB!

Happy Birthday BB! Today is my brother Brandon's 30th birhtday! On Sunday my sister in law Lauren threw him a surprise party! It was so much fun! We had about 100 people there. She had it my parents and they rented a HUGE blow up slide! It literally took up their whole side yard. The kids had fun going up and down up and down the slide the entire night...and some adults joined in on the fun as well! Happy 30th BB...we LOVE you!

A must try...

I can't tell you how many times I have driven by Yogurt Stop on Highland Drive, but just let me tell you that I will be stopping by there more often now! Yesterday my mom, grandma, cousin and myself got pedicures. After, we decided to stop in at Yogurt Stop. My mom and grandma had been there before but it was a first for me and my cousin. It was delicious and so much fun! You can choose between 2 different sizes of cups. Then you help yourself with whatever yogurt you want...they have 8 to choose from! Then, to top it all of they have rows of toppings that you can choose from that you put on all by yourself! It is so much fun! They weigh it by the ounce and its only 35 cents an ounce! This is a definate must try if you haven't already! :)
