Bummer.

Note to self: be obedient in all things. . .

I did a photo shoot today of these lovely ladies:

And parked where I shouldn't have parked. . .

After paying $75 and meeting a nice gentleman named Rob

the Durango and I were once again free to go. . .

Lesson learned.

I can't be hugely mad at this- it was my own fault.

I knew very well that if I parked here that I could get caught.

It was my choice.

Dang it.

Mission: Eat Food, Feed Hunger

Once upon a time there were four STARVING roommates

who didn't want to cook dinner.

The oldest of the roommates offered to buy HOT-N-READY pizza.

The other three roommates agreed.

So they were off on their quest.

The four of them decided since 

because the last time they got 

HOT-N-READY pizza they down one box that

this time they would buy TWO boxes of pizza

plus (+) CRAZY BREAD!

The plan was made.

The journey was underway.

Hoping in the ever trusty Durango 

D4 quad made their way down 10th and onto main

where traffic was merely bearable 

and even though they were growing weak with hunger 

they made it - all of them. 

No casualties!

While purchasing the worthy pie

the growl of our inner beings started breaking out.

Not much longer and we would have been devoured.

Turned on by the big-ones* who eat the little ones*

The pie was received.

We made a break for it dashing out the door!

FREEDOM.

Then we were faced with a choice:

1. Stop an eat the pizza on the curb of Little Caesar's (my choice)

2. Drive home and eat in the kitchen (it was growing cold again)

After quick decisions making 

We saddled back in to the Durango,

escaping to the solitude of the castle.

10 minutes from walking through the gate of safety

the pizza was all but disposed of.

(Don't worry we prayed.  It was a marvelous blessing experience to say the least.)

Leaving only three pieces of pizza.

Mission: Eat Food, Feed Hunger 

Accomplished!

Thanks for providing the pizza Kellie! 

*Big-ones: the big fishes that eat the little fishes inside your tummy!
- My mom used to tell this to my siblings and I when we would complain about being hungry.




Today I love this song!

and I thought this was bad. . .

I have driven from Logan home 

three times in the past two weeks.

Pretty sure I could do it with my eyes closed

. . . doesn't mean I want to try it.

 I took this picture driving home last night.

I wish the roads had been this good all the way home,

maybe then it would have only taken me four and a half hours.

Surprisingly it wasn't too hard for me to drive slow on the way home.

(background: I like to get places quickly- I speed. . .too much sometimes)

Having my little girls in the car though 

made it really easy to take my time.

I am so thankful we made it home safe.

Even if it did take almost twice as long.

Counting my blessings!

While I was driving this is what I heard going on in the backseat:

Lulu, "yep."
Jades, "Halee, knock knock"
Lu, "Who is there?"
Jades, "Lion"
Lu, "Lion who?"
Jades, "Rawr! because that is what Lions say."
Lu, "Okay" (while texting boys on my phone)

Love these girls.

weather forecast:

 Hey I beat the storm!

I left Logan at noon and hoped and prayed I wouldn't get caught in bad weather.

. . . . 

My cousin Shalysse prayed for us

and looky here - I made it home safe!

My trip consisted of:

 No stress- I didn't text and drive. . . 

. . . when there were other vehicles on the road

(I am trying to be better)

After 3.5 hours in the car

I made it!

I AM HOME!

Blue Skies.

Fifty degree weather.

No snow in the valley.

. . . . 

yep- defiantly not in Logan anymore.






(can you tell that I got bored after I dropped off Shalysse?  I may or may not have got a little bit distracted with the camera while driving- what is more of a distraction. . . the phone vs. Oscar?)

bueno.

Yes, this is another food post.

Yes, I did take this picture with my phone.

Yes, I might have eaten grilled cheese more than once this week (I didn't want to buy groceries).

Yes, I sold my books back for $120.

Yes, I had a nap.

Yes, it is almost three in the morning.

Is it weird that I often take pictures of myself eating?

What if eating was done in private like going to the bathroom is?

Yep, I really need to go to bed now.
