If we had a baby

So I was inspired (after viewing Shannon's blog) to see what Mike and I would produce if we had a baby. The curly hair is right (Mike has really curly hair). The dark hair also would be right. I am not sure about the rest of it. Mike thought she was very ugly but I didnt think she was too bad. I guess we will see what everyone else thinks. So here it goes... our future daughter.....



She really doesn't look like either of us...but oh well.

Making Utah's streets safer by taking one scary driver off the road at a time...

I thought you would all like to know that I have so far helped get three scary drivers off the road in the last 4 months. The first one was the guy that rear ended Mike and I when we were stopped at a light. He (come to find out) was driving on a suspended license. That was the guy that totaled my car (which turned out to be a blessing in disguise).

The 2nd guy was the one who backed into my car the next day at the collision center and then took off. Luckily they caught it all on surveillance. I am actually scheduled to go to court on October 21st as a witness against that guy. I am not too excited about that, but at least that guy will get what he deserves.

The latest victim was about 20 minutes ago. Mike and I had done some late night Halloween shopping and were putting together a cemetery in the front yard (it turned out wayyy cute!!) Well I was on the front porch and heard screeching tires. I looked up in time to watch a car down the street run into the gutter (its a deep gutter, almost like a small ditch)and then turn down a neighborhood street. Mike and I started walking down there to make sure everything was ok. Well before we were even within sight of the car we could hear yelling. It was a male and female. It sounded to me like the guy was beating the crap out of the car while yelling at the girl. We were a bit nervous to go over there since it was sounding so violent and we didn't know what kind of weapons the guy may have had.

Mike, being the smart man that he is, pulled out his cell phone and called 911. While he was on the phone with the dispatcher, we watched the girl take off walking down the street and the guy yelling at her. He then gets in the car, turns around and heads towards the girl and purposely drives the car into the gutter. Once again, its about a 2 feet deep gutter with straight vertical walls. So as you can imagine, a car going into that would not be pretty. Well He purposely drove the car into the gutter and backed up to cause more damage. All the while he was yelling at the girl (which he had caught up to with the car).

Well then the car somehow got out of the gutter and took off down the street towards 9th east with no tail lights. They must had gotten jared in the all the commotion because the headlights still worked.. just not the tail lights (and they had been working before he hit the gutter the first time). So Mike is still on the phone with the dispatcher explaining what is happening but not getting close enough for the guy to run him over. The car drove out of sight but Mike was able to tell them it was a white neon with no taillights. Two seconds later the dispatcher told him that the cop had pulled them over. I think they got pulled over just on the other side of 9th east by Sports Authority (Formally Gart Bros.) We were able to see the flashing lights from our house. I counted three cops drive in that direction.

The dispatcher had asked if we would give a statement and Mike told them yes... but they never came and got it. I wish they would have, because that was just a scary driver. At least they got him pulled over though. He was driving very erratic and it made me nervous seeing him purposely driving the car into things. I was scared he was going to try to crash into our yard or something.

It was rather exciting tonight. I love when exciting things happen even though I was scared to death at the time. My favorite part is telling other people about exciting things like tonight. Hence why I was so quick to write this in my blog.. Aren't blogs great?!?

Back to Reality...

Well I am now home from the Honeymoon. Now I have to somehow get back to normal life. We had a very much needed vacation. We went to Yellowstone and the surrounding areas. It was really fun. Sadly it had to come to an end.

We came home and had the fun of going thru all the mail. Lucky me received a court summonds. I had no idea who the guy was i was suppose to testify against. Well after calling the attorney, I was informed it is the hit and run guy. I really dont want to go to court, but what can ya do?

Laundry is what we are focusing on right now. We have tons of loads. We finally got a chance to open all our presents. I am surprised how many we received. Now starts the fun of sending out Thank You Cards.

Anyways... I dont have much time to write tonight. I will be posting pictures as soon as I get a chance! I will also put some more details about the fun we had on our honeymoon and will posts pictures from some awesome Ghost Towns.

The countdown begins...

So I had to do one last post before I am Legally Married. Life has been crazy with all this wedding stuff. We are pretty well ready for it now. I just have to survive tomorrow. I am really looking forward to the Honeymoon... but we have to survive the wedding first. It will be fun. I am rather nervous about walking down the isle with everyone watching me. I hate being the center of attention, but it will be worth it.

I am not nervous about marrying Mike. I don't have cold feet in the least. I know he is the one I want to marry. I can honestly say I am marrying my best friend. I know we will have a great life together!

Well this is rather short, but I need to get packed for the honeymoon and then go to bed. I have to be up bright and early to get the celebration started :-)

Lights, Camera, Action!

Mike's 1965 Mustang Fastback was filmed today. We drove to Spanish Fork to a storage place where they are filming a low budget film called 95ers: Echoes. It was rather insteresting. We got paid $80 bucks for use of his Mustang. They filmed it on the freeway first. They had the actors driving the car down the freeway. Mike got to ride in a Mini Van driving along side it that they were filming out of. Mikes stipulation was he had to be with the car the whole time. I didnt get to go on that part though because there was not enough room for me. Oh well. Apparently everything went well. The car came back in one piece. I did get to see them play back their footage.
Next they had Mike park it in a storage unit. We got to watch them film some scenes. It was cool. I am excited to see the finished product. Like I said, it is a low budget film so I am sure not many will see it. It was fun being a part of it though. We didnt have a camera with us (of course) so here are some pictures we got on the cell phone.
