Kim and Kristy Graduated!

Believe it or not, 3 out of 4 of the Anderson sisters are graduated from college. Holy cow. Haley will be starting Utah State this fall, so she's not too far behind!

The best part of Kim and Kristy graduating was of course mom, dad, and Haley coming out to Utah from Dubai! ;)

There was bowling...ANTM style thanks to the blower...

Crazy bowling by Kristy and "Mother Faulker"

And there was some graduating and picture taking:

And there was eating. A LOT of eating...

And game playing (gone are the days now where Kim let us play games for free in the BYU bowling alley)...

I can't believe my little sisters are all grown up! They're only a year and four days younger than me (although two grades younger) but they've always seemed so dang little. Well, they're all grown up. Kim is in Dubai right now with my parents and Kristy is living in SLC doing an awesome internship at the hospital. Not only are they grown up, but...I hate to say it...they're pretty dang cool. Now don't quote me on that! :)

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...
