The Polar Express!

P.S. I didn't take this picture, and some notable figures are missing from the shot.

Nothing much...

So, I'm here at work and decided to do a blog entry. Mainly cause I'm bored, and also because no one else posts on this one anymore (Heather!). I haven't been posting myself because my computer died and I don't know how to download pictures anymore. Yes, I am very sad about that!

Well, I hope everyone is having fun preparing for Christmas. I haven't even gone Christmas shopping yet. I'm hoping tonight is quiet here at work so that I can get some sleep and then have a productive post-call day tomorrow. Which includes car registration, shopping, picking up yummy cookies from Mom and Dad, and mailing a test registration thing. Good times!

Merry Christmas everyone :o)

love,
Shelley

oh mama...

....me sleepy.

Haunted House

So, we're starting a haunted house. Everyone is invited!!! I think I can't take any pictures of what it looks like inside, because we're asking others not to, but you are all welcome to come check it out. The website is scaryclownz.com and this is what we're using in the handouts and stuff.

It opens mid-september through November 1st. And basically every spare minute we spend at the warehouse working on this lovely project. So, hopefully it opens!!! Tell everyone you know. Maybe a good young men, young women activity :o)

Anyway, other than that, not much is going on here. We still have our dog (surprising as it may be) and Spencer (the oldest son) just moved out to BYU for the year. I'm still working on trying to make good exercise and nutrition habits (and failing miserably) and working as a pretend doctor. It's so weird to actually have patients of my own!

Hope everyone is doing well (at least all of those who read this . . . Heather and fam). Take care!

Almost...

It's almost time for me to go home from work! 1.5 hours left until report! Kent has physical therapy today and then a doctor's appointment for x-rays later today. As it turns out, he was rear-ended (yes, again) while coming home from work. He was doing physical therapy to help with his last car accident (hit and run people, grrr) when he got a wallop again. Poor kid can't catch a break. So his car is in the shop. The bumper got messed up pretty bad. It was jutting into the exhaust and the car repair people said it was unsafe to drive since it could catch on fire (not good) so I had to pick him up before rushing off to work tonight. Thank goodness it wasn't a more injurious (is that a word...at 5:50 am it is) accident.

Our Little Vacation

First, I'd like to welcome the Bowers family to blogging!!!! So exciting :o)

Our vacation/honeymoon/anniversary/graduation present was a lot of fun! We went to the Atlantis Hotel in Nassau, Bahamas (actually it was on an island called Paradise Island attached to Nassau by a bridge). The plan for the vacation was to have a vacation where we didn't need another vacation to rest from it after we were done. And it worked! Heather loaned me her Twilight series books and I read 2 of them while there as well as 2 mysteries/international intrigue books that James brought.


This place was amazing. It had tons of salt water aquariums throughout with thousands of fish in them inclucing hammerhead sharks and sawtooth sharks. They also had 20 or so waterslides, one of which actually went through the shark tank so you could see sharks swimming over and around you as you went through it. There were multiple pools around the park for just relaxing, and of course the beach. The water there is clearer than bathtub water and the sand was white and fine. Completely gorgeous.

I just realized that I can't get the pictures to go with what I am saying. So, these will be out of order. Anyway, we went on a boat ride out to another island called the Exuma Cays where we went swimming, snorkeling, feeding sharks (our leftover lunch), and then we went to another island where they have indigenous iguanas and we fed them grapes on a stick. Overall a great vacation!
