Toby's Haircut

Toby had his hair cut yesterday. I love his hair long, but it is so hard to take care of, not to mention the poor guy can't even play outside because the long hair makes him so hot.

Back In Utah

So I moved back home. It was a hard decision, but nesssacary to make. My life has been in Limbo for so long I decided to stop waiting for things to happen and make them happen. I missed my family so much and it is so fun to see my mom and dad everyday. For those of you who do not know my parents they are the most generous two people in the world and they are so in love with each other. Seeing them together gives me hope ;-). Anyway...sorrry about that little tangent... Utah is great and I missed all of you. I hope I get to catch up with everyone soon.

Twilight

Wow.... I know I know you have all been telling me how amazing the Twilight book series are, but I could not get into it. I read the first two chapters about four times in hopes of getting "hooked". It never happened, so I read Chasing Harry Winston.. then I moved on to the Pretty Little Liars series and read all four of those. Still everywhere I turned people were talking about Twilight, so I relentlessly picked it up for one last try. Luckily I was in a situation where I could read for an hour or stare at the wall for an hour. Now I am so incredibly "hooked". I cannot get enough. I just started on New Moon and I am sure I will get through it by the end of the weekend. Now I hear a fourth book is coming... I can't wait to read them all. I highly recommend these books to everyone!!!!

Earthquake

So the "big" earthquake happened a couple days ago. Toby knew something was up about 20 min. before I did. He started barking uncontrollably...then the entire house started shaking. I only lasted for about 20-30 seconds. We are fine and everyone I know is fine. The extent of the damage was a broken glass that I found in the cabinet. It just reconfirmed for me how exaggerated our news programs have gotten. I go a text from so many people asking if I was okay (thank you to all of you for thinking of me), but really it sounded so much worse than it really was. Maybe when we hear something on the news we should try to divided the trauma by say...10....that should make it closer to accurate.

It go me thinking... obviously it is important for us to watch the news...learn about what is going on in not just our wonderful country but the world...but are some of the reporting styles doing more harm than good?

(I kind of feel a little like Carrie from Sex and the City...lol)

First Blog

Well I decided to jump on the bandwagon and start blogging. Me and Toby are still out in California. I think we are still deciding if we like it.

Pros:
-Weather!
-Beach
-Shopping
-Sprinkles Cupcakes... mmmm

Cons:
-Away from family
-Fleas... dogs get fleas in California, we learned that the hard way.
-No good movie theaters...can you believe it I have only found one movie theater with stadium seating
- Gas prices... I know its a lot everywhere, but I am pay $5 per gallon... ouch!

So many decisions to make, but I have had a wonderful summer waking up and eating my cookie crisp cereal while I watch the waves crash.

Toby and I miss you all very much! I am enjoying looking at every one's blogs, it feels like the only way I know what is going on in your lives.
