He made me so proud!

Ok, so Daniel is a wonderful husband. Here is one of the reasons why. Harry Potter Scene It has been sitting on our bookshelf looking very lonely, because I have no one to play it with. Daniel decided that I needed a Scene It partner, so he and I watched all 5 Harry Potter movies together (thank you Netflix!). Finally, all our work paid off. The other day we pulled that lonely game off our shelf and PLAYED! It was seriously fun. Of course, I kind of slaughtered him, BUT he did get several points right. Well, it's true that several of these were the tie-breaker questions such as "Whoever has the largest shoe gets to move one space" and "Whichever player has the greatest number of letters in their first name gets to move one space," BUT he got quite a few legit questions right about the delightful series of Harry Potter. I'm grateful for a husband who makes sacrifices so he can take part in ALL aspects of my life! Not that watching Harry Potter is a sacrifice...

My Birth Story--Riley James Faulk

A warning in advance--this is really long and detailed, so if you don't want to read a detailed birth story (with pictures), then stop now! This was an important record for me to make and I didn't want to spare any details. :) Technically the story of my labor begins on Riley’s due date: July 24, 2013. Because I have to go back to school as a teacher very soon (my first meeting is August 14), I was desperate to see if I could use some “natural” methods to get the labor going. So, on Wednesday, July 24 around ten in the morning I took about 1.5 ounces of castor oil, which is known to get labor kick started occasionally by basically freaking out your bowels so you have the runs—lovely. I waited for a few hours but nothing happened at all. Bummer. My mother and sister came to Salt Lake and we celebrated Pioneer Day by going to temple square and having lunch at the Lion House. After lunch I started to have some horrible pains in m...

So I Was in a Show...

When I got back from Dubai, I was B-O-R-E-D. I was looking for work (since my time at Ecker Hill Middle School ended when the normal teacher came back from sick leave) and nothing was coming up. I was a stay at home wife. Not cool. So, I decided to audition for a musical-- Lucky Stiff . It was my first audition in the Salt Lake Valley. I doubted I would get in the first show I auditioned for since I knew no one in this part of Utah and I assumed it was probably even more competitive than in Provo. Regardless, I went for it...and got the lead female role! I was shocked, not only that I had got cast as a lead but also that I got cast as the ingenue! I tried to think back to all the parts I had previously played and I could not think of one role that would be considered an ingenue role. I'm always the villain or the quirky weird character, which has always been fine because those are great roles to play. For example: My senior year i...

We Bought a Couch...

Well, we've officially made the move from a basement apartment in Midvale to a rented condo on Capitol Hill in Salt Lake City....and we're loving it! The only problem is that our new apartment is pretty unfurnished. We never really liked our old brown sectional, although it was our first "big" purchase as a married couple so I guess it had some sentimental value. Regardless, we decided to try and sell it to people who came through to look at our apartment when it was up for rent. Luckily, someone bought it! This was very exciting to us, but we quickly realized when we moved in to our new place that we now had no where to sit and watch movies or snuggle or just relax after work. Well, it's been almost 3 weeks and we are still only watching movies in bed on a tiny TV. The GOOD news is, we ordered a couch! It should be here in about 4 weeks. Now that we have picked out a couch, we still need to get: 1. Rug 2. Coffee Table 3. Side tables 4...
