New Friend...



Last night Tyler and I headed to St. George for out date night. We had a wonderful night of the Temple and all you can eat shrimp (Thanks Blake and Annie, it was delicious). However the best part of the night came when I went to the bathroom to wash my hands after dinner...I made a new friend.
This little girl was probably six years old, with an Ariel shirt on and the least "STRANGER DANGER" kid I had ever met. We walked into the bathroom at the same time and she looked at me and the conversation is as follows:

New Friend: Are you just getting here?
Laura: No, I am leaving, what about you?
NF: I am leaving too.
L: Oh really what did you have for dinner?
NF: Cheese Fries
L: Wow,
NF: Cheese fries are the best food out there! I'll betcha.
L: You don't even have to because I love cheese fries too. Do you not like seafood?
NF: Ewwwww, not at all, not even sushi, (many giggles followed)
L: I just ate so much shrimp my tummy is going to explode! You are like Ariel though, you don't like to eat them.
NF: No, and I wouldn't eat the Lobster either because of Sebastian.
L: I like the part where he runs across the table to get away from being eaten.
NF: I have seen the new Little Mermaid called Ariels Beginning, it has her mom and her sisters, but her mom dies. It's really sad.
L: I haven't seen it, I will have to!

Then we said good night and parted our ways. Tyler looked at me when I walked by with her like what are you doing? Making little kids scared? I seriously wanted a picture of this girl because it was one of those priceless moments, but I figured her mom would be really freaked out if I opened with the line, "Hey can I get a picture with your daughter? We just met in the bathroom."

Cheesy Husband


I came home last Friday after a long week of school and work and I found this with the following note which read, "You are my red rose in a world of yellow daisies". I don't really know what that means, but my husband is such a ham. I laughed so hard which is just what I needed. I guess he really does know me.

Tyler Shouldn't Have Raised the Bar So High!


So last week was my birthday and seriously Tyler out did himself. I always expect surprises from my husband because he loves to see me in suspense, but from Wednesday to Friday there was a constant string of them.
Wednesday was my actual birthday and Tyler started the morning by letting me know there was a lot of excitement to come. He told me that we were going to have friends over at nine that night for cake and that was when I could open presents. I went to work and some really nice people made cakes for me and brought them in. We went to dinner later and Tyler was doing all of these things that I should have seen as stalling, but since I am so dense to the world, I was just annoyed. Then all of my friends walked into Chili's with balloons, smiles and the whole works. It was so fun and I got the most wonderful presents including, The Complete Works of Jane Austin, a massage, a beautiful picture of the temple and many more. Needless to say, it was a very impressive display of love from my husband...little did I know, it wasn't over.
Friday afternoon Tyler came home with some unexpected guests. Holly, Mandi, My Mom, My sister Joy, and Andrea drove to Cedar City to celebrate my birthday! I couldn't believe all the planning that had gone into surprising me. We headed to St. George and had a delicious dinner and then saw "Big River" at Tuachan.
So basically Tyler spent the weekend with seven hormonal women talking, going to dinner, seeing a musical, shopping, and having just good old girl time. Like I said...He shouldn't have set the bar so high because it was the best birthday ever! Love you all, thanks for making the effort to make my day special.
