Shelves

I need shelves for my living room. Sam and I have a million books and we really need a home for all of them. I found exactly what I want on this cute blog www.littlegreennotebook.blogspot.com (see the photo of my future shelves below) but I cannot find anything like it anywhere. I don't dare attempt to make them myself... What's a girl to do?

Photos

I don't have much to say so I will post some fun photos from my trip to San Fran:







I'll post some from our trip to Utah ASAP.

For the Bird

I am a little scared.
I can't leave my house.
I am hearing loud noises.
Why you ask?
This:



What the freak is it you ask? A Black-crowned Night Heron. I looked it up.
It's perched right outside my front door.
I am not kidding, I'm pretty scared.

Sam's reply? At least it isn't this guy:



My biggest bird fear?

Sam and I work in the Nursery at church every Sunday. We both swear this calling is the best kept secret. We get to play with babies for 2 hours, and have snack time. We both LOVE our calling. The little kids are all really smart, very active and entertaining. This Sunday started a little more challenging than usual. One little boy came to nursery wailing and screeching and the nursery leader handed him off to Sam and instructed him to do whatever he had to to make the kid pipe it. Sam had a panic stricken look on his face, as I have never seen. I took the crying baby and held him for a half hour. The kid did not relent. We found his mom and asked her to take over. Phew.
When we rejoined the rest of the group we arrived just before singing time, which I lead. I started with “follow the Prophet”. For this song we have several laminated 5x7 photos of President Monson on tongue depressors the kids waive around as we sing our song. When I began to hand the photos out one little boy yelled “I want a puppet!!” I briefly thought about how a 2.5 year old may think this picture on a stick was a variation of a puppet. I handed one to him and began the song. When we hit the chorus I looked over at the cheerful boy who was happily singing “FOLLOW THE PUPPET! FOLLOW THE PUPPET! HE KNOWS THE WAY!” I started laughing so hard I cried. It more than made up for the rough start.

Wedding Photos

I just received the disc of photos from our wedding. What?

We only got married a year and a half ago...

Here are a few of my favorites:

Where we will be on Saturday

At Stacy and Matt's watching the BYU game.

It's so much fun watching with people who get really into it.

PS. I stole this photo from Brooke's blog

I have to say, Arizona has the best of all worlds when it comes to restaurants.  They have In-n-Out, Cheesecake Factory, Jack in the Box, AND Cafe Rio!

(Me and Sam at Cafe Rio last weekend)

You may be thinking to yourself, Heather doesn't like Mexican food so what's going on here?  No, I am not diluted enough to think people pay attention to my likes and dislikes which is why I used the word MAY and not probably.  Anyway let me just say, I don't know anyone who doesn't love a chicken salad from Cafe Rio, they are delicious.  I'd only change one tiny thing, when I ask for both kinds of cheese all of the workers yell "EEEEEXTRA CHEEEEEESE!!", it's kind of  embarrassing.
