One Year

My woman parts are clenched and nervous. Keep me in your thoughts as I have my yearly appointment with the Satan doctor, the Gynocologist and his tool set tomorrow.

What Happens in Vegas

Well, I think we've hit our limit. Bryan & I spent our fifth night apart last weekend as I headed down to Vegas with the girls! Now, some may think we are pathetic, but we think three nights apart in one summer is quite enough! Bryan is the sweetest husband! He left a love note in my makeup bag and had the house spotless when I came home! Thanks, honey! We are now looking forward to our anniversary vacation away together in August!

Back to the weekend - - Of course, most of it was spent having pillow fights in our underwear, but we did have a limited amount of time to do other things.

Jamie the druggie/alcoholic. [Note: Please imagine this picture without the Sprite bottle. Doesn't it look like the light was too bright for her drunk self so she had to put some shades on to pop her pills with some sort of alcoholic beverage?]

"I hate getting scared!" [Note: We were not talking about anything scary and Kenzie said that right out of the blue, so she assumed this position for the next three minutes as she was too embarrassed to sit back up.]

Thanks, girls! I had a blast this weekend! Especially when Kenzie got Tobasco sauce on her finger and gagged all the way to the lobby and our elevator wasn't moving from floor 19 because no one had pushed the button and we laughed so hard that tears were streaming and a big scene was being made about nothing all with other people in the elevator. It was fun to have a "sleepover" again!

Weekend Adventures

What a fun-filled weekend we had with our friends/family, the Wrights! Thank you, Jon, Becca, and Caleb for spending your weekend with us! We had so much fun!

Cutest Caleb dragging his "suitcase" around with miscellaneous items and dragging his blankie between his legs.

Becca's abnormally long string of cheese coming from within her calzone! It got long enough that she couldn't reach it any longer, but I didn't get a picture in time.

Happy Birthday, Becca!

Thank you, Wrights, for making our weekend full of fun! We were sad to see you go, but we'll be up to visit you soon! Hugs!

Business Trip Time

**Warning: This post contains only ONE picture.

Last Monday, Bryan & I spent our FOURTH night apart as a betrothed couple, which we are quickly learning that we hate.

I left on Monday morning at 7 AM to train a new agency management system in one of the Leavitt agencies in California. Here's the fun part: I got to ride on Leavitt's private plane! I arrived at the hanger (yes, they also have a private hanger) that morning only to find the pilot cooking french toast casserole, hash browns, bacon, sliced strawberries, and orange juice. It was at that point that I realized the next 48 hours might not be so bad.

When we were ready to leave, we skipped security checks and baggage check-in and simply loaded our suitcases on as if we were loading them into the trunk of our own car and took off. We landed at the airport in California in the private driveway, took our own suitcases off, and went to the private glass suite for rich people to check our plane in where our rental cars were waiting for us with the trunks popped. After I stomped the red carpet back up, we arrived at our hotel.

My room had a king sized bed with six, count them, six memory foam pillows. After spending a fun birthday eve night with Ben, Kirsten, Lady, and Zzyyxx Intertia Snowball Squirts Tyrrel who were, like, seven miles away, I came back to the hotel and zonked out. Thank you, Tyrrel's for chauffering me around and letting me play! It was a blast! When I woke up on Tuesday morning, I realized that I had slept in about 1/8 of the king sized bed and used two pillows. I missed Bryan.

The training at the agency went well on both Monday and Tuesday. We finished working a little earlier than planned on Tuesday, so we simply alerted our pilot that we were ready to go. No waiting for a commercial flight for us. We drove to the secret private roadway/entrance at the airport, pulled our suitcases on, and flew away. Again, after the red carpet was rolled back up, I took my seat on the plane. This time, I was the co-pilot! I got to sit in the cockpit and wear the headphones with the microphone (to talk to the pilot) and push and pull some buttons! I even got to hear him get clearance for take off and all other pilot language that I didn't understand. "Niner, niner, 26, 34, Delta, V36, sixty eight, niner."

While my first business trip was a fun experience, I was very happy to see the Red Dragon (my car) and Bryan! I miss him even when I'm only gone for 36 hours.

Sensational Summer Games

Bryan, Mandy, and myself had the spectacular opportunity of helping with the 2008 Summer Games Opening Ceremonies this year (thank you, Mindy)! Our job was to host Collin Raye. In other words, we were supposed to keep him and his band happy. Our day started at 11:00 AM and ended around midnight. Phew! What a day!

Bryan & Chandi with our passes tryin' to remember that there are still two more hours to go and that attitude is everything!

As you can see, we got a little tired and grouchy around about 10, but we trudged on and actually had a ton of fun laughing and giggling! Thank you, Mandy, for accidentally brushing your hair with an unknown blonde brush in the dressing room and acting as a Disney line guard with your flashligh! Thank you, Mindy, for smirking about the "special musical number" and suggesting other ridiculous solutions! Thank you, Bryan, for being such a tough security guard and kicking everyone out of everywhere and for ALWAYS making me smile!

Motorcycle Mania

Bryan and I spent our third night apart as a betrothed couple on June 06 while Bryan and his Daddy-O went on a motorcycle ride up to Torrey, UT and back where they were able to see and capture the beautiful scenery!

Luckily, Bryan and Dad returned home safe and sound (thanks to my million finger points and lectures I'm sure) with smashed yellow bugs all over their clothes to prove their "man ride" was successful! They had a wonderful time (except when Bryan went to bed and I wasn't. . ."sleeping" with him) and enjoyed breathtaking views right outside our back door(as you can see)!

And, if you're worried about how my night went, don't because I spent it playing with Mandy! I tried to sleep at my parent's house as to avoid the lurking boogie men in our house, but I couldn't sleep so I ended up driving home around 2:30 AM, turning the hall light on, and sleeping in our bed with the TV on all night! Yes, I am a night time wuss. I love you, Bryan, and I'm thankful I have you to "sleep" and sleep with every single night!

Memorial Day

We spent Memorial Day weekend in Panaca this year where we enjoyed lots of time with our wonderful family, and some delicious breakfast at Cindy Sooz! We were also able to enjoy an old car show as we ate breakfast where Bryan took some neat pictures of the old cars and their old owners!
Count it as another fun weekend in Panaca! It's so nice to be over there in the nice weather and play and stay up all night with family! We love you, Allen fam!!
