WHO THE HECK IS MURPHY????

I don't know if I want Murphy shot or if I should feel sorry for him. After all, he gets blamed for everything---
Why is it that.....
  1. People don't tell you that the delicious salad you had for lunch, now resides as a hanging orniment on your front tooth?
  2. There is no toilet paper in the only stall you choose, and you find out too late?
  3. You always get asked a question just when you put food in your mouth?
  4. Nobody tells you that your skirt is tucked in your wasteband, and you went to the bathroom over 2 hours ago!?
  5. When your nose starts to run, there is never anything around to wipe it with but the sleeve of your clean shirt?
  6. The root beer you drink makes you burp and since you "don't do that kind of thing", you look curiously at the person sitting next to you so everyone will think they did it?
  7. Your hair only looks great when there is no place to go?
  8. Your mind goes blank when you go to introduce your really good friend to someone?
  9. The guy pulls out in front of you and goes really slow?
  10. They are always out of the only thing you want on the menu?
  11. The grocery line is always faster in the other lane and when you finally decide to switch lines, the lady in front of you needs a price check?
  12. You have the time but no money or the money and no time?
  13. When you go on vacation, your bowels do to!?
  14. You finally decide to throw something away that you have kept around for years only to find that you need it within the week?
  15. You can never find your cell phone until after it's stopped ringing?

IT'S CALLED MURPHY'S LAW! And he has a twisted sense of humor! Ahhhhh!

I'm glad I got that straightened out. I feel much better!! Happy Day!

Thought of the day: Women are angels. And when someone breaks our wings, we simply continue to fly. On a broomstick. We are flexible like that! :)

•Out of my mind. Back in five minutes !

School is---well, let me put it this way; suppose you were a dump truck and a bunch of front end loaders were all line up waiting to dump their loads in the bed of your truck? Hmmm sounding familiar? (Yes, a vision of 1-15 just came to mind...), anyway, they start to dump their loads. No problem right? Ummm, right if they give you a chance to take your load and dump it in the appropriate location before giving you another load. So the problem is that you have all these loads of dirt dumped in your bed, it starts to overflow and soon there is a HUGE pile of dirt where your little dump truck used to be. Poor,poor little dump truck! He is still there but, alas, you cannot see him under all that dirt! Ha Ha Ha I love that story! It is soooooo my life right now! :)
Last Saturday Chris and I went with Cory and his Scout group to hike up Timpanogos to the very top. I got to glacier lake and watched as Cory, Chris and Jeff (Cory's bishop) hiked to the top of the cliff up the glacier. It was a beautiful day! We started hiking at 7:30am and Cory, Chris and I got off the mountain at about 6:00pm. (The rest of the group was off by 7:30pm) Let's just say that I was dying on the way down. And of course Cory had a brilliant idea to shave off some time by going down a ravine that ended up having a cliff at the bottom. We were sure praying on the way out of that one. It's Cory! Why didn't I know better? :) We did survive without any broken bones, twisted ankles or DEATH! It was still a blast! Thanks for letting us go Cory!
Stake conference was this weekend and it was great! Jagger's blessing was at our house on Sunday and it was really nice. It was great to see everyone! I have THE cutest grand kids on the planet(and probably the ones with the most energy!)
I'm going to" LION KING" tomorrow and am so excited! I love the music and my dear friend Kiara and her wonderful husband stood in line months ago to get tickets. I had her get me a couple of tickets and I can't believe it's finally here! yay! Thanks Darwin and Kiara!
Happy day to ya'll and I hope all is going well! Look around you at the gorgeous place we live and enjoy the FALL!

I LOVE THE FALL!

I love the crispness in the air, getting to wear boots and jackets, seeing the intense blue of the sky, seeing the leaves change, knowing that we are on the downhill slide to ALL of the fun holidays to come! YES I am a kid at heart! We are so blessed to live in such a beautiful place!
I know that it's been awhile since I blogged but life has been very busy! I have managed to get up to Sundance and ride the lift (once during the full moon and it was beautiful). Sundance is my sanity lifeline! :) I started my Masters Program at BYU on the 30th. It's going to be intense but worth it! I have so much to do that I feel like I'm spinning my wheels and getting nowhere! I just have to take my own advice that some of you might recognize and eat this huge master elephant one bite at a time and try not to freak out. I have cried more in the last couple of weeks than I have for awhile but I needed it! And remember, fall is in the air--how bad can it be?
I was suppose to go to the first BYU football game but wasn't able to. Jamie, Chris, Hunter, Skyla, Jagger, me and a couple from our ward went over to the Hendrix house and watched the game. Jamie painted all of our faces, we had hot dogs, chips, cookies and a great time! And of course WE WON! Yay! On Labor Day I went to the Sheepdog Trial Championship's at Soldier Hollow. I had no idea what to expect, but it was really fun. It was beautiful and the day ended with a steak dinner at Ruby River. Doesn't get much better than that! Yesterday was back to reality and school. As usual life is crazy but I wouldn't have it any other way. Hope everyone is doing well and I love ya'll! Welcome to Fall! :) Happy Day!
