A Lot of Sweet Stuff...

Ok, I'm the worst at posting...but I've been having way too much fun to sit down and look at these boring blogs! Just kiddin, I totally blog stalk, and I love love love to read everyone else's, I've just been too lazy to write anything.

First things first, biggest news EVER! Some of you know this, but some of you don't....drum roll....my sweet family is MOVING TO UTAH!!!! That's right, for good. My sisters and mom are flying out June 5th. My dad will be going back into the rehab place that we love in Missouri while my mom looks for a house and a job. Speaking of that, if any of you know of any job openings around here, let me know. Then, once they find a place and get somewhat settled then I think the plan is to have my bro Curtis fly out here with my dad (Curt's not moving out here, he'll be staying in MO to go to school). How fun is that?!?! I am really excited to have them out here, and be able to feel like I can physically contribute more to help em out.

Next, I got to go to Disneyland FOR THE FIRST TIME!! And shame on me for not going before. I loved every second of it. It was a total girly trip which was so fun. I hate to say it, but California Adventure rides were sweeter. But, you're right, the atmosphere at DL was WAY better. I think my favorite ride was the rollercoaster at CA, then Tower of Terror, and the Indiana Jones ride. Oh so fun. I'm sure you've all seen pics on Lydia's blog, so I won't post any. Oh, and those of you going this week...HAVE SOO MUCH FUN!

Now, onto some more sweet things, I GRADUATED!! Took all my finals (which were freakin easy this time--which is a first!), and aced my classes. I graduated in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (say that 5 times fast--without getting a speech impediment:) ). Now what you may ask?? GREAT question. Someone tell me! I'm applying for some jobs in the school systems, and some jobs through BYU (I'm a little hesitant to post it, because chances are I won't get any, but who cares!). If nothing pans out, secretary for Got Crap it is!!:) Seriously, if nothing works out I may think the Lord is trying to tell me something, I dunno! Anyway, Cheney did a great job speaking, in fact, all the speakers were excellent. President Hinckley, Elder Scott, and Elder Bednar were there as well. Thursday's comencement was sooo good. I'm really glad I went, even though we got there at 1, and it didn't start till 4!!! It was a long day. Friday's graduation where I actually walked was pretty good too, although I didn't enjoy it as much as Thursday's. But, it was so fun to see all my buddies again! So, here are a couple pictures, one of me (obviously), and the other of a Cheney protestor (so gay). THANK YOU everyone who were able to come, and THANK YOU to those of you who I know would have been there if you could (KJ and Sue:) ).

Another cool thing...Eric's parents got us a 2 night stay and the Grand America in Salt Lake. It was soo beautiful. We just relaxed. Slept in, went to lunch, went shopping, watched TV, worked on my Sunday School lesson, went to dinner, and watched a movie--fabulous!! I'll put a pic of that too.


What else....Eric and I are leaving Wednesday for Nauvoo for my brother's wedding--how cool is that?!?! I'll update you on that when I get back. Oh yes, and another cool thing I have to brag about...I ran 3 miles on the treadmill the other day in 28 minutes! I was so dang proud of myself--but I remembered that I HATE running. Why did I do it?? Just to say I did.

That's it for now--have a great week all'yall.

America's Next Top "Lame Show"

So I’m watching the show America’s Next Top Model the other day; what a freekin joke! I bet you anything this all started with some producer guy who told his friend, “Man models are so lame, they’ll do anything just to get the job no matter how stupid, and what’s even worse, they’ll be totally serious!” BAM … new show!

The whole point of the show I think is to make these girls look as stupid as they can, then slam em down when they don’t pull it off (if such a thing can realistically be pulled off). Take for example the “Drowned Rat” photo shoot. “I’m sorry Cassandra, I just don’t know what to tell you! When you were trying to portray that drowning rat I just… (breathing in through teeth) didn’t feel it. I didn’t believe you were actually drowning in the sewer… I’m sorry, you won’t be America’s Next Top Model. (sad music) Take your things and leave please.” (Somber music, girl exits while sobbing).

I guarantee Tyra Banks is busting up laughing as the girls are going all out on these retarded shoots. I think the comments from the girls are just as ridiculous. “Well Brittany, you’ve just finished your “Birthing Rhino” shoot…” “Uh huh.” “And Brittney I have to be honest…. (long pause with tense music) … You Nailed It!!!!” (girl screams for joy) “So how did you do it?” “Well I was just thinking to myself if I was a rhinoceros in labor, like how would I feel, or more importantly… how would I look? So I just acted like it was real and I guess I pulled it off! Yeeee! Sorry, ha, ha. I’m just soooo happy!”

Gay! Gay! Gay!

One thing I have to admit though, this Jaslene girl knocked the “Laser Beam” shoot right out of the park! Is she a girl or is she a green lasar? I can’t tell! Dang she’s good! Pffft.

The World's Greatest Fraud "Copernicus the Liar"

There once was a guy who everyone thought was smart, his name was Copernicus. For those who don't know who I'm talking about perhaps this will refresh your memory.

Remember now?

Lookin a little fishy there Coperno, got some lies cookin behind those shifty eyes?

Anyway, he had a lot of fanciful theorys and wore fanciful tights. His lies about the universe sounded really good but were nothing more than a little fuzzy puffy ball with perfume smells and little litter things. Something about the Earth revolving around a big ball of fire that he so conveniently called the sun. Yackity Shmackity blah blah blah... looked something like this;

His daughter thought it looked better like this;

I agree.

"Oooh the center has to be HOT the center has to be HOT and I run around with wimpy tights like a skinny little fairy boy!" -Copernicus-

That's only because back in his day he'd never experienced one of these guys;

"Brain Freeze!"

This guy will stimulate your mind to a whole new reality and mental awareness. You can literally feel your brain thinking about the coldness; hurts like hell frozen over! Where's the heat now Copernicus? Maybe it wasn't his fault he never had the opportunity, because for a thousand years or so the Polish lost the recipe for ice. This was known as the dark ages and consequently everyone was mad as heck. Check it out;

"Cut this cursed warm brain out PLEASE"! -Knight-

We are more fortunate thank goodness. So the next time you enjoy a "Brain Freeze" few in the world's history have ever enjoyed; ponder the truth that I have come to know and join with me as I say;

The Truth. The End.

A lil update...

Well, here they are, a little before and after haircut fun. Now that I look at these, I think I like the long hair better...but, I think we always want what we don't have.

Ok, sorry about the depressing picture with my dad, but it's the first long-hair picture that I saw. But, since he's up there, I'll give you a little update. He was in this awesome rehab facility, but for some lame $$ reason they only keep patients for 30 days, then they send them home for 30 days before they can reapply to come back into the rehab place. So, he had to leave Rusk Rehab the middle of this month. But, he can't come home yet, because he still needs like 16 hours of nursing care, plus our house isn't handicap equipped, so he couldn't even get around. So lucky him, he's at a nursing home:(. But, last Monday he did get to come home for 3 hours...the first time home since October!

He's been learning how to get himself around on his powered wheelchair. They basically strap his arm to the chair, and he kinda flings his wrist till he can get himself to where he wants to go. When I went home in February he was getting pretty good at it. I have a little video clip of him wheelin in his wheelchair that I'll put on here soon. Anyway, his attitude is great...he's just sooo dang bored.

My mom is working really hard, and trying to keep up with everything. She is doing really well though.

As for me...I have one fat paper and two tests left before I graduate!! One month and 2 days. I am so excited. After that, then what?? I think I'll just get pregnant!!:) Just kidding, kind of. No, I'll probably look for a full-time job to stay busy. If you hear of anything, let me know. Oh, and I HATE taxes!!! That's it for now!

Making of The New (old) Dump Truck "Oscar the Grouch"

Well... we finally got our new dump truck done which should save us a butt "load" on dumpster fees (approx $750+ per house). Ry and I decided to paint the truck in a cool black with hot lime green trim/racing stripes in honor of Oscar the Grouch; since the truck's main job is to haul trash! P.S. Let us know if any of you see a cool metal Oscar mineature we can weld on as a hood ornament. Here is a timeline of our progress so you can enjoy the bloody, sweaty journey with us.

Making of the Box.


Ry grinding.


Still grinding.


Ry welding, and my sweet comments.


Box almost complete.


Box on the truck. Yep we lifted the whole frame on the truck ourselves, actually we flipped the truck upside down on top of the box, then welded it, then flipped it back over on the wheels. Did I mention that we carved the box frame from a single block of steel?


On the next blog you'll actually be able to see the truck painted and in action! Also stay tuned to Ry's blog for a cool clip of him grinding his face off with a high speed wire brush that turned his face into hangiburger until we welded his chin back on. Blood, sweat, and tears baby... but could you give less for such a sexy piece of machinery?

A bumb broke in da House!

Don't you hate it when you put a house on the market and some bumb kicks the door in and turns the heat up to 80 degrees and camps out in your house, peeing in your toilet or tub or whatever? Yah... me too.

This video is a little shot of what the sucker did to our door... freek'n hoser. It wouldn't have taken too long to fix except my tools were 40 miles away; it looks sweet now though! It looked sweeter before I had to fix it.

Don't worry though cuz I boobie trapped the door so the next time Chester Copperpot opens it he'll get a pound of dog crap chucked on his face with an automatic clay pigeon slinger. Hold on a second my phone's ringing....

#@%?! It was a realtor who just tried to show the house! His fault for not calling first... crazy poop face.

This Fire Station Sucks!

So I'm driving around looking at some properties in Draper and I come up on this firestation that's missing like half of the roof. Turns out it burned down! The secretary said the firefighters were getting sick of always having to answer questions from news reporters at the scene of fires and in a last effort attempt to secure some peace and quiet they came back from a routein run and tortched the place.
To their utter dismay a bunch of news teams swarmed in and they spent the next couple hours answering questions. The thought process that led these firefighters to do the unthinkable seems to stem from a new air born japanese subway virus that makes the brain rationalize in opposites! They suspect this is what let Brittney Spears to shave her head in a desperate effort to turn the paparazzi's attention away from herself.
