Whole Family is Together!

Jay finally made it home from Korea (with us for a little while) and we were able to have the Farish family get together all in the same place for the first time in about five years! We were so lucky to have the whole family come up from California this past weekend for Ryan's graduation and my cousin, Whitney's wedding. We had a great time together and just wish the time didn't go by as fast as it did!!

Here is some useless information about me....

What Were You Doing 10 Years Ago?
1998- I was a high school junior. We’ll leave it at that.

5 Things on My To-Do List:
1. Decide which townhouse to buy! Aaargh!
2. Finish reading New Moon
3. Work on my personal history project
4. Clean the house because my family and B&T are coming in 2 weeks…yeah!
5. Work-out (that conveniently gets left out most days)

5 Snacks I Enjoy:
1. Carmel Apples (Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory…..woot woot!)
2. Parmesan Goldfish crackers
3. Popcorn (all kinds)
4. Swedish fish
5. Pepsi with pebble ice

5 Places I've Lived:
1. Torrance, CA (birth to age 17)
2. Provo, UT (BYU years, excluding summers)
3. Austin, TX (for 6 months after getting married)
4. Orem, UT (Oct'06-present)
5. That’s it….

5 Jobs I've Had:
1. Tomassito’s Pizza Supervisor at BYU (tossed the dough and everything!)
2. Data entry at Beemak Plastics (during summer break from BYU)
3. Reading Tutor / First Grade Aide at Canyon Crest Elementary
4. Director of Kids Connection Daycare
5. Radiology Billing Clerk (thanks Tiff!)

5 Things You May Not Know About Me:
1. I was a cheerleader in 8th grade….I can do a “near perfect” herkie.
2. My favorite type of music is hip-hop (James calls it “ghetto slam”)
3. I really, really hate ants
4. I have a secret crush on Matt Damon…. :) (j/k)
5. I signed up to run a half marathon in August (we’ll see how that goes…yikes)


I tag….Tiffany, Katie, and Brittney. Have fun!!

It wasn't me...

James punched himself in the eye while playing volleyball....it wasn't me. He now has a suspicious scratch on his forehead...that wasn't me either.

Maybe I should cancel my subscription...

I signed up to get the Daily Herald newspaper. I read it the first month. The picture tells what happened the second month. I guess I'll have to wait until I have more time to read the paper or just sign up for the Sunday paper.

The first win I've seen in SLC!

Every Laker game that I actually get to go to in Salt Lake ends up in a loss for the Lakers. But not this time!! Lakers were in the lead throughout the entire game, but I didn't want to get too excited early on and jinx it! Although I wasn't feeling well (what else is new?) we still had a lot of fun. If it weren't for the annoying 12-year-old who sat right behind us yelling in his high-pitched voice "My grandma shoots better than that!" every time the Lakers shot the ball (regardless of if it went in), it would have been a perfect game.

Vegas!!

Our trip to Vegas wasn’t exactly as relaxing as I had planned, but we had a great time!

Things I learned during this trip to Vegas:

1. When you’ve seen one casino, you’ve seen them all.

2. Don’t wear BYU gear around Las Vegas after losing to UNLV (unless you feel especially feisty).

3. There are some rare instances when BYU fans cheer for Utah (…only when you really want Utah to beat UNLV).

4. Hard Rock Café is really LOUD…but you can still have your wedding there.

5. If you don’t feel like smelling like smoke, well, you probably shouldn’t go to Vegas.

6. The waitress at Olive Garden treats you like royalty….but the IHOP waitress doesn’t exactly remember you exist.

7. Driving around during rush hour is entirely stupid. You can watch almost all of Transformers and still have only crawled 3 blocks.

8. The zoo in Las Vegas is more like a…well, words really can’t describe it.

9. Parking garages can actually fill up.

10. It’s utterly pointless to argue with drunk people.


Some of my favorite sayings from the local yocals:

“They wouldn’t hold a conference tournament in Provo….who would come?”

“BYU?!? Are you kidding me? Go Rebels!”

“Are you here for the BYU v. UNLV game?”

“What does B-Y-U stand for?”

“Are any of you 21? Oh, nevermind…BYU”

March is going to be fun!
