CHANGE AHEAD

Well there is a big change happening for Hank and I....and before you all jump to conclusions I am not pregnant! We are really excited about this change and although some of you already know I thought I would have a little fun with it on my blog. Hank and I will be moving at the end of July so I thought I would give some clues as to where we are ending up and you can guess in the comment section below. After I get some guesses I will post all about our adventure, the what, why's, and where's. If you already know you can comment but try not to give it away.

CLUE #1
The average temperature in January is -2.8 Degrees Celsius (note to self: need to start studying the metric system because I will be using it from here on out)

CLUE #2
I will have to learn the rules to hockey, so I can conversate with the locals....

CLUE #3
If Hilary Clinton becomes president I won't have to freak. I will no longer be a resident of the U. S. of A.

CLUE #4
I will not have to learn a foreign language, however they may think I speak a foreign language with my Utah accent.

CLUE #5
If I choose to stay in the football industry I will be working for a team called the _________ Stampeders!

CLUE #6
They call a trash compacter a garburator. (Ok maybe I take back Clue #3)

CLUE #7
Hank will now be cheering for the CFL and not the NFL

CLUE #8
This place is also referred to as a type of Bacon

CLUE #9
Within an hour's drive I will be to Banff National Park, putting 6 Ski Resorts in my reach (My plan to become a snowboarding bum may come true, if it is going to be -2.8degrees C. I think I deserve to do so.)

CLUE #10


Good Luck and I can't wait to share our adventure with you all.

GIRLS WEEKEND

St. George, Old Friends, New Friends, Laying by the Pool, Golden Spoon Frozen Yogurt, Gossip Magazines, Sunburns, more Golden Spoon, Chick Flick, Late Night Hot Tubbing, Bad Kareoke, Memories!
Sometimes you just need to get away which is exactly what we did this weekend. I was able to make some new friends and really relax, not to mention get a little of that St. George Sun.

Dear: Tahiti White Lady Six Speed

You don't know this yet but we are meant to be together! In fact I think that if I drop enough hints I may have you by my side for my birthday. Since I first laid eyes on you I have loved you and dreamed about riding you each night. I know that I don't live anywhere near a beach so I have no need for a beach cruiser, but I think the thought of having you makes my love for the ocean breeze seem real! Your crisp white frame and cute pink wheels would be perfect for nightly bike rides along the Provo River Trail with the wind blowing in my face. I love summer and I know that you would be the perfect fit to make this summer the best ever! I love you Tahiti White Lady Six Speed and I hope to have you real soon! If not then I guess I will dream of better days when we can be together.

Sincerely,

Your admirer Emily

Dance, Dance, and more DANCE!

Its that time of year, spandex, fake eyelashes, freakishly orange tan, and some great bonding time with good girlfriends. In fact that last reason is why I keep doing this to myself. Yes its true... I am a grown adult and yes just had five dance concerts. Its seems wierd but I have danced since I was three and just can't stop. I love it! When Gina, the studio owner found me and told me she had an adult dance class four years ago I was hooked and have been doing it ever since. Of course the performing is fun but really the amazing women I meet and become closer with through the process make all the late nights and stress worth it! This year was especially fun because both my high school best friend Kellee and my college best friend Lynlee did it with me and became good friends in the process. We can never have enough good girlfriends and I love how close we have all become. I have included some dressing room pictures since that is the only place we had our cameras..so enjoy the overly hairsprayed, overly tanned, and overly energetic pics! And if any of you miss dancing give me a call!

SISTERS, ST. LOUIS, AND ONE LUCKY BROTHER!

This past weekend my sisters and I took off to visit our favorite sister in law, smartest brother, and two cutest nephews in St. Louis. Although a short weekend we had an amazing time and fell in love with St. Louis. Christopher got spoiled by his aunts and we loved every minute of it. I already miss the boys and can't wait for summer to be here so that they can come visit us. Here are a few pictures to document the trip! Thanks Judd and Jackie for an amazing weekend, you were the best hosts ever!

5K ALL THE WAY!

My cute friend Lynlee asked me if I wanted to run the SLC 5k and I was like sure why not. I had a game the night before which means I get no sleep but I still had a great time. I had to succor my pride a little bit that I was only running the 5k but although short it really got me back into the racing spirit and I hope to be doing more soon. I didn't have an IPOD or watch so I was completely clueless and running to the beat of my feet. I kept leaning over to the person next to me and asking how fast they were running because I was trying to find someone that I could get paced by. Apparently everyone I asked thought I was really wierd so I would run faster and pass them all. I ended up finding my friend Ali from work and ran with her and her friend that made me run even faster. I don't know maybe I will just ditch the Garmin's and the ipods and do it all natural from here on out. Thanks Lynlee for the invite, I can't wait until the next one.


THE GROUP, LYNLEE, HER HUSBAND NATE, HER LITTLE BRO TAYLOR AND ME. WE ROCK!


PASSING THE FINISH LINE!

The big TRICYCLE debut!

Ok so yes it is true we own a tricycle, and I must admit it is Hank's pride and joy. He still has plans for what he is going to do with it and can't wait! We happened upon this beautiful joy just before winter started so Hank has been so anxious to get it out for a spin. He occasionaly has taken it just around our circle to test it out, but finally SUNDAY CAME and the gorgeous weather was calling the TRICYCLYE out. So right after church we threw on our clothes (yes matching, don't ask) and took it out. We are so lucky to live right next to the Provo River trail and between the TRICYCLE and Hank's sisters trusty pink bike we had a blast. I must admit I am still a little shaky but I am hoping by the end of the summer I will have mastered the TRICYCLE.
