New Years Resolution

Always replace the gase nozzle

before driving away from the pump.

I will always "check for paper" when leaving the restroom.

 I will no longer park in front of fire hydrants.

I will try to drive closer to the speed limit.

I will keep an extra safe distance when driving behind police cars.

I will avoid taking a bath whenever possible to conserve more water.

I will do less laundry by using more deodorant.

I will think of a password other than "password"

I will spend less than one hour on the internet a day. (This of course, will be hard to estimate since I am not a clock watcher)

I will cut my hair.

I will take up a new habit, like spend more time at work. =)

I will work on catching up on all of the TV shows I missed in 2009.

Happy New Year!!!

Awesome Gift Giving Ideas

Here are some awesome gift giving ideas I found:

{This is perfect gift for those geeky friends/brother-in-law that are hard to shop for}

{Salt & pepper shakers for those special NRA hicks in your life}

{Because sometimes a wolf tank top just isn't enough}

{I know it's always hard to buy for your furry friend, so here you go, the ever-so-classy mustache ball.}

{Brandon and Caleb are going to be fighting over this one!}

 {You can never be too sure of your co-workers. (Michelle you should ask Justin about this.)}

{Could someone tell Dr. Earl that I am going to need one of these?}

Last Christmas

This was last Christmas when time was much less complicated. Can't we just go back to that time?


The whole family stayed in an amazing condo in Southern Utah it was beautiful. We had such a great time with the family, swimming, and playing games. It was here that Eric gave Derek his nickname D-stain! hahaha

I was trying to remember where Caleb and I slept and remembered we stayed with Adam and Cara. I lost my phone at their neighbors house. Pretty lame but not as frustrating as losing my wedding ring the next day. I think it was at the St. G-eorge Rec. Center, the good 'ole rec center. We had some good memories there. I think everyone lost in raquetball to Big Mike that day.

Caleb's little sister had these 3D glasses that made the Christmas lights looks like snowmen. We were showing her how cool they were. =)

Creepy Co-worker

My Co-worker hides her ugly little doll in my office and it always scares me when I find it. I told her that her doll was creepy from the beginning and I think that's where her silly idea to freak me out with it came from.

Finally after MANY different times of gasping when I found "it" I decided it was time to finish her off. I tied our wonderful Weber State ribbon around her neck and hung her from the ceiling over my co-worker's desk.
It was pretty funny until she left it up there for everyone to see, now I'm sure most of the office is afraid of me. =)

So that's why I LOVE my job!!! It's pretty much the coolest place ever.

Mario and Luigi

We won for best costumes at our Ward Party woot woot!! I admit our costumes were the coolest, but I have to give credit to Amber and Andy who we stole the idea from. Thanks guys =) Everyone had to try on our mustache. Here's Hayden the Great.

Miss Ind-i-licous

Saint Gabby

Michael looks so ridiculous! But the mustache wouldn't stay on with his facial hair. =)

Brookie was a princess.

I love her crazy grin!

and Ashy was a chunky pumpkin. We went to Hollie's ward Halloween party with them to help with the kids and Tayson.

Stitches & Contact Dermatitis? Lame!

**Warning** this is a little graphic. If you have a light stomach probably just skip to the next post. =)

Last week I went to the doctor to get my keloids shot. (Sounds fun right?) Anyway, I showed the doctor this bump on my arm that I had had for a while and he said it is a granuloma and that he should remove it. I've had a mole removed before so I wasn't too worried. But this one was different. It honestly didn't hurt (besides the little numbing shot) then he took an instrument that looked an orange peeler with a metal circle on the end and put it right over the granuloma. He pushed down a tiny bit and pulled it up and the skin/granuloma came with it, except a tiny string of skin/tissues (I'm not sure what it was). I was pretty okay with everything that was going on up until this point.

Then he pulled out the stitches and started stitching the hole up. That is when I lost it. It still didn't hurt but I could feel it tugging a bit on my skin while he was stitching it up but it was too interesting not to look. I started getting tunnel vision and I could tell all the blood had rushed out of my head. The doctor had me lay down for a while. Awkward! Luckily, the only thing that hurt was my pride.

Now that you know the story behind the stitches... The doctor had put Band-Aids over the keloid shots as well as over the stitches. Later that day at work, I was in so much pain, but it was from where the Band-Aids were. I have always noticed that my skin gets agitated beneath Band-Aids but I thought everybody did.

Well I developed these nasty rashes and blisters everywhere that the Band-Aids were. It was so sensitive and hurt. One of the doctors I work with explained what it was "contact dermatitis" I am allergic to the adhesive in Band-Aids. Who is allergic to Band-Aids? Honestly?

Dodgeball Tournament & Costume ideas

Caleb's work had a dodgeball tournament last week and the uniforms were crazy. These are three of my favorite teams. This first one was Team "Entourage" I don't really get the shirts but it was a cool idea. :) This team was "On A Mission," pretty hilarious if you ask me. The cute gal in the middle is Caleb's new assistant Ashley. She's been such a help with getting Caleb all caught up on his work, which means we get more time together.

Lastly, here is Caleb's team. Team "Rock Stars" The guy on the far right is Troy, he's over store operations for every store so he's kind of a big deal. And I love that he totally got into character. He's the one that came up with the team name.

My sweet procrastinating husband remembered about the tournament the night before so we had to search our home for appropriate rock star wear. His jacket was an old jean jacket of mine that we cut the sleeves off of to make him look like a street tough. His heart mom tattoo was pretty awesome, on his right arm there was a skull and crossbones. His "bandana" is a scarf I had from a couple years ago when I went as Foxy Cleopatra. We were content with his outfit but we could have come up with something way better if we had the time. Either way his team won "Best Uniform" and everyone got free movie tickets.

Caleb has been begging me to cook him a turkey so I finally gave in (after he bought it and brought it home). I don't mind eating turkey I'm just not a fan of handling any raw meat. This thing was particularly disgusting to me. The picture looks like a huge gaping wound. Sick! Anyway, Caleb was very sweet in helping me with everything until he was pulling the gravy packet out of the inside of this thing and accidentally hit me in the FACE! Right next to my mouth! Naturally I freaked out and washed my face but I don't think I'll ever be the same again. He didn't understand why I was making such a big deal out of it.

He had me leave the room so he could sever the breast bone after it was cooked but I could still hear everything. I think we'll stick to bringing the mashed potatoes or rolls to Thanksgiving. Caleb said this was the best turkey he's ever had, I was too distraught over the whole ordeal to even try it. It looked normal, except I'm pretty sure I saw an aorta on the plate of "good meat"

Caleb and I went to Halloween USA to look for ideas for our costumes this year and we found some pretty good ones.

Caleb looks so creepy here. The joker freaks me out as it is, but Caleb was making scary eyes too. :)

I really wanted my niece Brooklyn to be a Jazz cheerleader for Halloween but she only wants to be a princess.... go figure.

Some might consider this child abuse, but I find it hilarious! My mom had these little masks to try on but Ashton was not having it. I think he was just upset because he wanted to be a princess too.

Running makes me crazy!

Here are some of the pictures after our 5K last month. It was so fun having Caleb, Brandon, Marci, Jenny, Keirsten, Neil, Lael, Lindy, and David Fonnesbeck run it too.

This is me expressing how I felt when I got to the monster hill after the 2nd mile.

Here is Marci's interpretation of her feelings.

I always get a little self conscience that people might think I'm dying when I'm running but Aynna told me that she couldn't even tell that I just ran so that made me feel like a million bucks!

My best friend Jen came all the way down from Logan to spend the night and come support us. It was great to see her after the race. Momma Rigby and Indee were at the finish line waiting but must have missed me when I sprinted by because I had to find them. My sweet mom wrote "Go Becky" on her car windows and drove by (she probably did it just in case I wanted a ride)

Funny story: So Caleb ran with me the entire race, which was very sweet, but when the end was in sight I turned on the turbo and sprinted passed the finish line so I would have a better time than him. =)
