March 25th, 2010.... Girls Day Out

Okay so I know this is a little late getting on here, but please give me a break already!!

I had computer issues, but now that most of the issues have been worked out, I want to share with you
my girls day out pictures.

It was such a FUN DAY!!!  And so here my pictures begin.  Just remember I am a DORK, and I like to have my camera, which is just a lousy point and shoot at the moment,  with me ALL the time.  Because I like to REMEMBER my experiences through pictures. 

So on the "DAY" we met up at 7:45am in Provo, Utah and then 

headed up to Salt Lake area to meet up with one of Cluttered Brain's

other friends, who would meet us at the studio.  Yes, I said studio. 

We were going to a taping of "Good Things Utah" (and it was fun.)

We got there a little early and were just hanging out in the van waiting for

the other friend. So here I am with Steph.

 Random Picture ... of Cluttered Brain.

 So we're both dorky!!  We were taking pictures of

each other while taking a picture.

 Playing around with my camera and she just happens to be the 

SUBJECT.  And a gorgeous one at that!!! 

 Here is the SET.  It really was fun to see the way they operate 

for shows like this, it really was fascinating.

 (See here Alexes.... I told you I had a good one of you and Debbie)

So obviously this is Alexes with her friend Debbie.

 Trying to get a group shot, self portrait style...

  Okay and I'm a really big dork... I think the camera was running 

funky.  It took a while to finally take the picture, so I started to 

goof off, and then, of course, it decided to take the picture, when 

I put on the goofy face.

 A group picture of us with the Good Things Utah ladies.

And of course, we were thinking the same thing at the same time. 

We both ordered the same thing for dessert and both turned to get

our cameras out to take pictures of the scrumptious stuff. 

And now that it has been so long since I had it, I can't remember 

what it is called, but it was GOOD!! 

But this picture was taken because just then we realized what each other

was doing and then we both started laughing.

 And after a very fun time of visiting and being together, the day drew 

to a close. But it wouldn't be complete until I had taken a picture 

of the two of us together.

 These kinds of days don't happen often, but when they do, 

they are definately memorable. 

Thanks for a great day out ladies. And to my husband, Chris, thanks

for holding down the fort at home while I was away. 

I can feel the love ... tonight.

You know it's got to be heaven sent when everything just works out. So earlier today I was just saying how I really needed to find a babysitter, because I NEED a date with my husband. Then not much later when I was back at home I got a phone call from a friend saying that she had extra tickets to a dinner theatre place, and wanted to know if we could find a sitter and wanted to go. I of course, got instantly excited!! But I can't make such a decision without my husband, because , what if he didn't like this sort of thing. Or worse, what if he doesn't like the people that were offering the tickets? hmmm...


Luckily I knew that he was fine with seeing plays and such and secondly I knew he's good friends with these people too. So the problem and only hesitation being a babysitter for our five little people. Seriously who really wants to be with 5 kids for about 5 hours on such short notice? Well, I proceeded to call a few of my friends that don't have kids yet that would be able to come over and watch the kids on Saturday.

Called the first few ... just got voice mail. So I left messages, and still haven't heard back from them. But I called the 4th person and finally got someone home that answered. And she and her husband were more than delighted to help us out. And the other great thing is, they used to be my 7 year old's primary teachers at church, and they loved her and she really loved them. So apparently I've felt some of those blessing coming from the Lord when all else around us seems to be difficult to deal with and hard to know what to do.

This will be just the kind of night that I need. Because this other couple are just hilarious to be around. I'm glad that we have people like this in our lives, and for whatever reason that they thought of us to invite, because they had a few extra tickets. Thanks guys.

Days like today when it just starts out with a bang of a headache sure make me feel better knowing that someone is looking out and thinking about us. And thankfully the headache dissipated throughout the day. So now it's time to make sure that the house is cleaned for the sitters, so it's easier for them to watch the kids.
