{not our bellies!}

you heard it here first!
there’s a new IN-N-OUT burger approximately one mile from our home.
who would have ever thought that orem, utah would receive such a honor!?!
this is good, and not good.

*****

dusty & danny were such great sports to make special runs to walmart for extra-needed white xmas lights…first they spent about 1 hour getting half the lights on the tree just perfect, then ran out of lights again and made a SECOND trip to wal-mart!

notice their outfits: do you think they coordinated this? xmas-colored gym clothes, with santa hats! they actually went to walmart looking like this!

we were rockstars…

for dusty’s birthday!

first, we ate here. our favorite tex-mex stop.
then we went here, for the dueling pianos show.
then we stayed here. our fave boutique hotel in slc.


dusty and i added a new first to our list
this was the first time for either of us to
stand on a piano…in a public setting…singing and dancing.

.....

happy birthday, husband!

dusty and i were engaged to be married,
and during that time dusty rhodes turned twenty-five.
the first birthday gift i ever chose for him
was a pair of roller blades.
this boy was raised out where there was not a lot of pavement.
mostly gravel, and ranchland.
he did not grow up riding bikes, or roller blades.
so, we started roller blading together.
you should have seen him going across the suu campus
on those roller blades…
you can imagine, leaning waayyy forward,
knock-knee’d, it was sooo funny!
that was only one of our

first adventures together
