New family member!


On Friday Jon and I picked up our cute little puppy Milo! He's almost 8 weeks old and definitely has a lot of energy! I love him to death however the peeing and pooping inside is not a plus. He was going outside pretty good until it snowed and now it is just way too cold for him to go outside. But he knows he shouldn't go inside so he's just miserable. Any suggestions? At least he doesn't have dagger claws anymore. We filled them =) But I'm definitely thinking no babies for a long time. This puppy is exhausting! Jon and I hardly have any time for eachother because we are running around after Milo. I just wanna snuggle :( Then he just cries all night and we get no sleep. I've been sleeping in the laundry room for him for a couple hours each night with him and then Jon will get up in the middle of the night too. Last night he only slept for an hour! It will get better right?

Celebrate? or Obliterate

Last night had to have been one of the craziest/awkward eating experiences ever! I decided it was time to celebrate after I was put under new management yesterday, something I was praying for for 9 months! Anyways I call up my cousins and see if they would like to go to my favorite restaurant, Chilies, for a little celebration for muah. We ended up going to the one in Bounitful because it was closer to them. We were seated right away so it started off good. Then things got a little crazy. Don't know if it was our waiters first day on the job or what but everything just started to go wrong. He took our drink orders ( I requested a Strawberry lemonade, pretty much the only reason I went to Chilies; Lemonade and Chips and Salsa) and after 2 minutes had to come back and ask us again what we were having. A little later he came by with 4 waters and no lemons, which Ashley had requested. We said uh can we have some lemons? oo yeah. Sorry we only have 3 left in the whole resturant. wow its only 9 oclock and no more lemons??? this is going to be a long dinner! by then things just went down hill. They forgot my Lemonade and I had to constantly remind them. Then when I did get it the cup was dirty! I'm not a picky person but yuck! Then Jon tells us we have to be nice to the waiters becuase if you're mean to them they'll do something to your food. Well the night went out and each thing that went wrong we were getting more and more nervous to bring it up in fear of our food being contaminated. Then Dan got his chicken and it was crispy. Not just a little crisp. More like this chicken dipped itself in charcol. Nervous he asked the waiter for a new sandwhich because it was burnt. "Burnt? really?" the waiter said. you'd have to be blind and not smelling right if you argued. The manager came out and apologized and offered the dinner for free and also a free salad; which we ultimatly didn't receive that either. Not to mention Dan not wanting to eat his newly made chicken sandwhich in fear of contamination.

Overall this was a night of adventure that we were not planning on. Needless to say I am a die hard chilies chips and salsa fan so this will not deter me from going to a chilis again; but I guess the lesson is.... Nothing is good in Bountiful.

It's the Little Things

Its always the little things in life that make you happy; or at least I think so.

  • Last night I made dinner for Jon and our cousins (Dan and Ashley) and it made me feel so good that there were no leftovers.. which means they liked my food!

  • On Sunday we were over at Jon's parents house for dinner and his 1 1/2 year old nephew says my name now! He only says about 15 words and "Bre Bre" is one of them! I guess that makes me his favorite Aunt!

  • Thankful for cars that work. Yesterday our neighbor came over asking for a jump; but we couldn't get his car started. How wonderful is it not having to cross my fingers every time I get in my car hoping it will start!

  • Yesterday I went to Circuit City hoping for some good deals (just to save you gas there isn't many) but... I did find the movie Annie for $7! I love that movie! Nothing like old clean movies. But it's been so long it its like a new movie that you just know the words to! Best thing ever!
