I love my crazy dreams

This morning I had a dream about my friend Bethany. I went to visit her and her family (I actually haven't got to see her since he wedding). I road this contraption that looked like a cross between a bicycle and a skate board all the way from Thatcher to Mesa (roughly 147 miles) with my dog on my lap. I visited with Bethany and her family and then headed home. Her husband Daryl gave me a whole roasted suckling pig to take home.

I love that I can entertain myself with my dreams after I am awake.

Movies/TV and Real Life

Since I don't have a washer and dryer, nor anyplace to put them, my mom graciously volunteers to do our laundry every week. So yes, my mom still does my laundry. I know it's sad.

Anyway, when we were going home from picking up our laundry at my parent's house on Monday, Austin saw a car accident (we were in separate cars). A truck hit a motorcycle and the cyclist went skidding across the road. He had road rash and some other scrapes, but he was wearing a helmet, and he got up and walked back across the street. Austin stuck around until the police came and filled out a witness statement, like a good citizen, he was the only one of the three witnesses who did.

After we went home he said, "that was different from seeing that on TV." Having witnessed car accidents before, I knew what he was saying. Austin likes watching shows/movies that have to do with cars. 99% of his video games are car related. He had never witnessed a real accident before. The feelings and emotions that happen when something like that happen are completely different, than watching a wreck on TV.

I have never been one to like watching things blow up or crash, for the main reason that I have witnessed my share of accidents and had enough close calls for myself to know the anxiety that crashes cause. I asked Austin if he now kinda understood my point of view and he nodded in a noncommittal fashion.

I doubt it will change the fact that we have been watching the Dukes of Hazzard (old school) every night until we finish the season, but at least he kinda sorta knows what is going through my head when I see Rosco and Cletus collide.

Catch Up

Let's see...what has happened since the last post. Lots!

1. The GILA VALLEY TEMPLE was dedicated. I love it. I have only gone once, I can't wait to go back. Beautiful!

2. We got a little Ford Focus. I can't choose betweennaming it Foci or Forsyth, but Austin doesn't like either of the names. He wants to name it Fred, Focus Fred. Even though it is just a Focus, I think it is more exciting than Fred.

3. I love Austin more every day.

I think that is it for now. Oh, and Jarom, my baby brother, comes home from his mission on June 28th. I am so excited.

I am obsessed

I have Internet at work so I check the blogs I follow constantly. However, I give nothing back. I don't ever update mine nor do I leave comments on other's blogs. I am such a hypocrite. I am sorry.

Hamilton Hand Blender

Because I am selfish and have coveted my mom"s Hamilton since I moved back for Utah, I am posting this to refer you to Pots and Pins, a delightful website with cooks and crafters at heart. Please go check it out. She is having a contest for a Hamilton Hand Blender. If you win, I want the spoons...for referring you, of course.

Finally!

I have finally gotten to a computer with my pictures on it, the internet, and time altogether. The result is that you now can look at what are my favorite pictures.

For some reason I love this picture. I am not fond of the tilt effect as a general rule, but with this picture, it just works. As a side note, I love kissing Austin, but I hat being told to kiss. It is really kind of annoying. It makes it awkward for me. A kiss is something special that I don't share with others, which makes kissing on demand so weird for me.

I think this picture does two things. One, it captures the joy we are feeling. Two, it shows a level of comfort that I have never experienced. Living with Austin has be an adjustment in someways, yet it feels so natural that it feels like we have always been that way. I think this picture captures that.

I am so proud of my flowers. I almost threw them through the window a couple of times while I was arranging them, but I finally got them to work out well enough to my liking. I also really like the pink band around my dress. It is very me.

This kid, was my ring bearer. He is my nephew and I am sure that Velika will not appreciate having his picture up on the web, but he was too cute to leave out. Every time the photographer would ask us to say cheese, he say it right after the click of the camera. This is one of my most favorite pictures, he really is as mischievous as that smile says he is.

Sadly, that is all for now. I have to get back to my primary lesson and laundry.

Dearest Blog

I would like to apologize for neglecting you for so long. I am tempted everyday to write on you at work. I want you to know that I will post some wedding pictures on you. I hope we can breach the gap that has come between us and once again be the best of friends.

Love,
Kelsi Rose
