Thankful Thursdee

It's been so long, that I suppose it's time for a little gratitude!

Today I am grateful for a sweetie pie who won't just take a normal picture.

And that'll be the extent of my mush.

It has been surprising to me because I always thought I'd be the opposite of this, but I've kind of discovered that I prefer that our mush be kept just between the two of us.  Obviously we got married because we love each other and think that the other is great, so I don't feel the need to enumerate why he is awesome.  Besides, I've started feeling like it's more special when it's just ours.  But he is a sweetie.

I'm also grateful for the TWO (count 'em, baby!) close friends who are coming to visit this weekend from out of state, and especially for the extended time I get to spend with each of them individually.  I haven't seen this lovely lady in almost 3 years:



Hey, Jen! Is that picture of us not embarrassing enough?  Well how about....


THIS ONE!


Okay, this one is actually just more embarrassing for me.  Seriously what is wrong with my face? It's like that banana has already caused some constipation. (It's my blog and I can say "constipation" if I want to.)  Well, at least no one can say I don't emote when I perform!

And this one I last saw at my wedding so couldn't spend a lot of time with her, and hadn't seen her for like a year before that:


She has learned Chinese, served a mission, gotten married, and had two babies since then.  She doesn't mess around, folks.

I am bummed that I don't have the picture of Jewel-io that I was looking for right now, and only have this cute one of her singin' her pretty little heart out.  You got off lucky, Jewel!  (You may want to avoid me holding a camera this weekend, because I probably cannot be trusted. Just ask Jen.)

I'll be honest, I don't really have friends in Utah, so the opportunity to spend girl time with such lovely women is about to blow my mind.  They are both awwwwesome. Don't be jeal.  (And if you are in Utah, then we are probably friends, but not the type of friends who ever talk or do anything. And if you are offended, then maybe you should call me and we will be the other type of friends!)

Aaaaaand, that is all I've got for now.  I hope you have awesome people in YOUR life for whom to be grateful.  And also that they don't post embarrassing pictures of you on teh internets.  (Maybe that is why I have no Utah friends?)

And my thankful Thursday comments: 1)I'm grateful the only picture you have of me is one where I look GOOOOOD...seriously. I was so skinny back then! :)
(And don't let Steve know your nefarious plans to put embarrassing pictures of me on the 'net. He has them by the dozens.)
2) I'm SUPER-dee-DOOPER grateful that I get to see you for the first time in years! (I agree--your wedding doesn't count)
3) I'm grateful that you're blogging about me. It's seriously so flattering that you're blogging about me! Can't tell you how good that makes me feel!

I'm so excited you're blogging again. I just laugh and laugh when I read your blog. Probably because I'm picturing what the expression on your face is while I'm reading it. Love those facial expressions. The banana picture is proof of that:)

ok, love the blog, and you, glad you really ARE back, blablabla. lets talk about me...

try not to pee your pants when you burst into histerics with excitement, but I may be coming to visit you in July. OK, technically matt has a family reunion, which I will make an appearence at, but mostly I will just want to spend all my time with you. OK? I am glad that you will get to spend some time with the fabulous ladies though. I bet you'll have buckets o' fun!

And yes, I am a horrible friend for not answering your text earlier this week, or commenting on these blogs sooner, but know that I have been re-donk-ulously sick this week and haven't been using any technology besides the good ole kleenex. BUT I LOVE YOU!!! And miss you. more than I can say. XOXOX!!
