Ernie's birthday!

Happy birthday to my big sissy Ernie! I wish i could be there to celebrate with you but some year we will be together on your birthday!!! I can't believe what you have accomplished in your short 25 years.. i mean you're a freakin' lawyer. I love sporting my UoChicago law shirt and i love being able to brag about our family. esp my lawyer sister..no big deal or anything.. well even if you weren't a lawyer (which you are) i would love you still the same and would brag about your beauty or your mad writing skills, or enormous love for your family. I wish i could see you more, but i know you are loving life in Chicago. I am so happy for you in your life and LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!

birthday fun!

My Jason took me up to Park City for my 22nd Birthday! We had so much fun. It was such a beautiful drive up there. seriously so many colors on the mountains! We listened to my new Disney greatest hits the whole way up there, singing along..(okay well maybe just me...) checked into our hotel, and off to get our shop on! Park city outlets are pretty close to being as great as Napa's outlets.. maybe better.. once we were shopped out we headed to the hotel and we got ready to go out for dinner.. once i finished my hair i walked out of the bathroom and there was the sweetest card and most beautiful earrings, he is oh so very thoughtful. We then went to dinner at Squatters and had so much fun. we left early and made it back for church on sunday. i got several of my favorite yearly voicemails from my family and bestie Heather. We had family and friends over for a delicious dinner and overall had such the best birthday. Thank you everyone who made it such a great 22nd!

Apple dumplings

Jason and I made these delicious apple dumplings together this evening. (not weight watcher approved..oops:)

Badge!

It's official- I picked up my student badge for my clinicals at the hospital. 10 days until my first one :)

Weight Watchers.

Yes, thats right weight watchers. i love it. i just started my 6th week of it. i am down 10.5 lbs. My mom, dad and I all joined the 3 month online program. It is very motivating seeing the weight come off. I am not a fan of diets because i usually eat like a rabbit for a week, lose some weight then eat everything i couldn't eat the day i stop my diet. Well, on WW i am able to eat whatever i want, it just costs me my points. a doughnut, sure! it's 6 points though. so is it worth it? I started with 24 points a day and am now at 21 points a day. It is so fun. I love fitting into my clothes better. thanks mom and dad for the support, oh yeah and my dad has lost 12.6 pounds, and my mom has lost a bunch too! yay.

Cosmo.

Yesterday while in attendance at the BYU v. UoW football game, where BYU of course WON; while we were sitting 4 rows back, holding freezing water in each hand trying to cool off from the million degree heat, eating nasty boiled peanuts (i thought i would try something healthier at a football game), sitting next to hundreds of squished in students, cheering loud, watching my husbands reactions to every play, making comments to my hubs on the cheerleaders massive makeup, wishing they had real diet coke in the stadium, all while watching COSMO, Byu's mascot. This is when it dawned on me, Zach should be in that suit. Cosmo was break dancing, jumping around, crowd surfing, doing backflips, being super crazy, all while NO ONE will ever know who he is. Zach would do all of this without the Cosmo costume, but he would be a fantastic Cosmo.. i think i will sign him up for tryouts when he returns. :) miss you E.Z.W.
