I'm missing you...

something fierce right now Betos. I never got food poisoning from you like everyone claimed they got. I miss your big, warm, potatoey, breakfast burrito. I noticed you were opening a restaurant in my very own home town of Pleasant Grove... Of course after I moved far away. Not cool. You have no idea how much I long to be reunited with you.

Until we meet again.

Your girl,
Sharon.

Fun Fact: My best friend Ian once wrapped a warm Betos burrito for me and gave it to me on Christmas morning. What a guy.

Dear Ira Glass:

Thank you for making our very long road trip so much more bearable. 


I love you.


Love always,
Sharon. 

Hubbells visit Utah Part II

Hubbells <3 Thompsons

Our good friends Chris and Jenna got married on December 28th, 2010. They could not have picked a better day to tie the knot because the Hubbells AND Thompsons were both in town :) It was so fun to see the newlyweds, Aubrey and our best friends Cor and Jer. We ate 2300 calories at the reception, which by the way was the nicest reception I've ever been to, then decided to eat ever more at our favorite restaurant Texas Roadhouse. At the reception they had a photo booth instead of a boring, old guest book. Fancy, fancy. We are all so attractive, it's not fair to the rest of you. 


Love you Thompsons.

*Happy New Year*

The first half of 2010 started out really rough for us, but luckily ended on a good note. I hope it continues going well for us! We had such a fun time spending the New Year with my family. My sister-in-law Lauren is mighty talented, especially in the cooking department. Everything was flawless. We ate, played ticket to ride (best.game.ever), laughed, ate, more games, ate, and played with the noise-makers until they were drenched in saliva. Gross, I know. 

Also, we celebrated my Dads birthday on the 1st! Happy Birthday Dad. I know 2011 is your year. 

Snowboarding and Sillies

 Kor and I were able to make it to the slopes once. The weather was perfect and the snow was amazing. I still haven't tried the Washington snow out, but I don't have much hope for it. 


We had a "farewell" party with the family. We snacked and played games. To make sure Cohen always remembers who his favorite Auntie is, I decided to attempt to fit into his play-fridge. He thinks I am the silliest Auntie ever. Also, Holden is the cutest baby alive. Did I mention I love my nephews to pieces?! It's hard to say good-bye. I managed not to bawl my eyes out this time though. 


Thanks you to our family and friends who made this an amazing trip. 

Hubbells visit Utah Part I

Having a little too much fun Christmas shopping :)

Kor and his cute cousin Jess.

Kory's family has a tradition to sing "tip-top" and dance around. It's a Finnish thing. So much fun!

Shar and Jess.

Kor and I photo-bombing.

My adorable Grandma, Nona. She knitted the scarf for me. It is amazing.  

We finally got a new TV. Kor was in heaven. 

Stef and Shar.

Uncle Kory and Holden.

That's talent if I've ever seen it.

Just let it happen Stef.

The Youngers.

Kangaroo Zoo.

We are still here in Utah for a few more days. Secretly I don't want to leave. Ever. Maybe we will get snowed in!

Guest blogger = ME!

I was asked to be a guest on this fabulous blog called the shoeologist.  It is a wonderful blog all about shoes! So blog-hop on over there and check it out! 


Thanksomuch.

Almost a hero.

Last night at about 1:00am I woke up to Kory  frantically yelling. He told me to look out the window. As I was doing this Kory was already out the door in his PJ's. I saw the driver from a car that just smashed into our neighbors cars running away. Kory was behind him and disappeared into the dark. I called 911 and ran outside where my neighbors were gathering and trying to figure out what was going on. As I was on the phone with 911 the car burst into flames. I thought it was going to blow up like in the movies, luckily it didn't. The police showed up and began questioning the passenger in the wrecked car and he was so drunk he could not even finish his sentences.  Kory came back very winded and told the police where he last saw the driver. He wasn't able to catch him. The car was going so fast that it cause three parked cars to crash into each other. It was a crazy night and I hope they catch the douche bag who fled the scene. 

Here are some photos, but it was dark and my ifail doesn't have flash. 

Poor Kor was almost a hero.

Easiest 5lbs I've ever lost.

I got my hair cut... finally. I usually go a year between hair cuts due to sheer laziness and iamsocheapness. This time I decided to get a cut and color. I went to a hair school so it only cost me $37 total. Score! And I actually really like it. I also thinned my hair! For those of you with thick,thick hair you know how great it feels. Please enjoy the 5lbs of hair I so kindly photographed for you. 

This is the darkest my hair has ever been. I think I look a lot like my mom with this color. This is also the shortest it's been in a loooong time. I miss my long hair already.

KASH make sweet,sweet ART!

As you all know Kory is an AMAZING artist. I, on the other hand, am NOT artistic AT ALL. Lately we have been trying to spend more quality time together so we decided to co-paint a picture. I started the painting and Kory worked his magical hands and made it truly beautiful. It was a lot of fun actually! 

For your viewing pleasure.

These crazies I live with...

Well, really only the Mr. is a bit looney at times. The poor pups just get roped into the whirlwind of crazy! 

Just wait until we have real kids... lucky little tikes. 

Sweeter than pie...

After a loooong day of work I was welcomed at the door with this...

Warm totinos pizza (the yummiest), Fresh bouquet of flowers and a big smooch from the most handsome man in the world. I am one lucky girl. Love you Kor Kor.
