No such thing as Luck

Today I drove from Salt Lake to Rexburg... no big deal, except when the weather isn't so great. Before I left I said my usual safety prayer and went on my way. Did great until the last 30 minutes of my drive when I hit some black ice and spun out of control. My car fish tailed across 3 lanes (luckily with no cars on either side of me) and then did a 360 and stopped facing the opposite direction and just short of the large ditch. I looked and there weren't any cars around until after I turned back around and pulled off the road. I sat there for a few minutes trying to calm myself and thanking Heavenly Father for watching out for me. I then proceeded to drive. About 10 minutes later I saw a police car on the side of the road with flares indicated that I should get in the left lane. I did this and hit some more black ice... my car spun out of control again fish tailing across the highway spinning around and stopping just in time for me not to land in a ditch. This time it took me a little longer to refocus and calm down. Let's just say that praying for safety before you hit the road is a good idea!! I'm so very very very grateful that my Heavenly Father is watching out for me and I'm glad I'm alive!!!

First day of Spring and a great one at that!

Brittney and I had a wonderful idea to have a Latin themed birthday party. So we bought decorations, food, and invited people to come. We also made a chili pepper pinata, which I have to say turned out quite well!

This is me trying to dry the paper mache on our chili pepper

This day just kept getting better...

Around 11:30 we kicked everyone out and went to the Twilight premiere party. We waited in line and bought the movie at about 12:04 am.

Some people had been there so long that their kids were asleep on the floor!!

It's not easy being green

St. Patty's day was a hit! I love this holiday for several reasons: 1. everyone is wearing green, which is my favorite color. 2. I get to be creative and use food coloring in everything I make. 3. I have an excuse to invite all of my friends over for dinner. 4. It's a holiday for people of all ages.

This year, being on a low budget, I made cinnamon rolls, which were green, butt crack rolls which were green, and chicken enchiladas also green. I invited a few friends over and required them to wear green. We ate, played the wii and then later on made music videos. (I'll post those when they are finished) Over all it was a great day!

I like it
