Mom & Dad Post

Guess what - we're in Phuket, Thailand - Us? Really? Really!Our last farewell dinner - some of the JB members took us. The couple on the left is the Beard's- our replacements - Australian and very outgoing. Such good friends - took us to the Pekin restaurant. Some of you have been there so you know how nice it is. But they ordered way different food than we'd ever seen before. Some of it good - some of it a little sketchy.

The view from our hotel room here - very tropical. It's beautiful and amazing, but if we hadn't already been in tropical for the last 18 months, we'd be even more awed.
Our room - the least expensive they have - but it's beautiful. Mmm, wonder what the more expensive rooms would be like.
Across from the bed. I'm sure you wanted a 'hotel room tour' The infinity pool is beautiful and I attached it to an e mail. We hear it's even more beautiful when it's lighted at night. We'll post more as we go.

City Creek, Animals & Hives Oh My

This past weekend I went to the new City Creek downtown Salt Lake. It is amazing. I went with Cyndi. We celebrated her birthday by window shopping in stores well beyond the affordable price range and then actually buying a few things at H&M. Check out the lady in gold with behind Cyndi. Also, that outdoor fireplace is huge...and awesome.

















Now for some animals. After I took this picture we opened up the door and the cat and rabbit both came inside.

This part is kind of gross. I'm sorry. I went for an allergy test today. It's actually pretty exciting. We discovered that I'm incredibly allergic to grass and dust. If you notice the big welts towards the middle of my back...yup, that is the grass section. It didn't hurt at all. But man it sure did itch. Oh yeah, I also found out that I'm not allergic to any animals at all. Including guinea pics, cockroaches, and mice.

Quick Pageant Pics

Tonight we watched Ashley in the Miss Saratoga Springs Pageant. She has such amazing poise on stage. She was able to take home 1st Attendant (that 2nd for those that aren't sure what an attendant is.) This year she competed against 13 other girls. We are very proud of her and we love her like crazy.
