Events, hella clean teeth and bff's at 9:22 AM




Dental visit success! Not a single tear and no Epic meltdows, Hunter is the best. Afterward i anticipated a 'David after the dentist' type of hilarity but trying to understand what a toddler is saying when their mouth ISN'T numb is hard enough. Don't fret my daughter was plenty entertaining for the 2 minutes she was awake and here is what i was able to decipher-

HUNTER-' I WANT JUICE! I CANT CHEW! WHERES MY CUPCAKE! THERE'S A CAT ON THE PORCH!'
ME- 'huh?'
HUNTER- 'zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
zzzzz'

It's the simple things in life...why didn't i get out the camcorder?

So enough about toddlers at the dentist; i have a serious issue to talk to you about. My sweetie and i have been trying to get married for 5 years, 5 flipping' years! We both refuse to go to a courthouse and just get it over with because we both want our families to be able to come together and celebrate our love for each other. We want the whole shebang - dress and tux, cake and intoxicated loved ones dancing crazily. We know it will happen but every time we seem to save enough something happens and all our savings goes to something terribly un-fun...like surgery. SO i entered us in the Southern Utah bride magazines wedding giveaway! yay! I know our chances of winning the big ticket are about slim to none but a girl can dream and I'd love if you could dream with me so cross yer fingers!

Now let's get on with show! Wednesdays are no joke and there a ton of events to enjoy so limber up with some YOGA and head out to one of these-

WSU’s Center for Diversity & Unity will host a presentation on American Heart Month with WSU wellness coordinator Rachel Smith, 12:30 p.m., Shepherd Union Building Room 232, free, 801-626-7243 or adriennegillespie@weber.edu.
