The Little Things...

Tonight as I was getting out of my car to go into my house I happened to glance up at the sky just in time to see a shooting star streak past. I have always loved the night sky. I could stare at the stars and moon for hours. It's such a little thing, a shooting star. Just a piece of a meteorite falling into our atmosphere, but I get so giddy when I see one. This weekend marks the beginning of the Geminids annual meteor shower. While it's not as impressive as the Perseids, which are in August, I truly hope to see many more "falling stars" like the one I saw tonight.

And Yes... I did make a wish. :)

So Amazing On So Many Levels!

Another video that totally amazed me today (obviously I am hard at work). I saw this and almost cried! Not only does the little guy make it after fleeing valiently from a pod of hunting orcas, but they come right up to the little boat looking for him. What an amazing experience for the whalewatchers. When I saw Killer Whales in Seward, Alaska in August, I was so excited! They weren't even half as close as the ones in this video. I think I would have lost my mind had I been close enough to just reach out and touch them!

Good Times on the High Seas

Ventsislav has worked two summers for Princess, so he is eligible for really awesome discounts on their cruises. Hopefully come September '09 he and I will be sailing the Mediterranean! However, I found this clip online and it scared the crap out of me. It starts off just funny (as evidenced by the table of ladies in the lower right corner laughing about it). Quickly though, it just turns frightening! Hopefully nothing even close to this happens to us, although, it would make for a great story! It is a bit long, but worth watching. It gets really intense around minute 5. Enjoy!

Hangin' with Em.

Friday night Emily came up from Cedar. We went to see Twilight at Jordan Commons. It was awesome because one entire screen had been rented out by a friend of Emily's mom, so no lines! I spent the night at Em's house, just catching up with "the fam." I love hanging out with the Strong/Williams clan, it's mass chaos, but I LOVE it! I totally forgot that I had to work on Saturday, the BYU vs. UTAH game no less, so that sucked 'cause I couldn't hang out with Emily more. I intended on taking photos of she and I to post here, but forgot. So... a Twilight picture will have to do. On that note... I like the books, they aren't near as good as Harry Potter, but they are alright. The movie was ok. I liked a lot of parts but some parts were laughable. Overall I just had a great time because I got to hang out with Emily, it had been waaaay too long (like 6 months!!!).

Purley Sober Fun... (wink wink)

Just another Friday night at the Chasetopher Casa.

The result of the infamous "Chris vs. Chase Punching Match"

I hear Chase once tried to put his foot into that boot.

Awww. Cuteness.

WE LOVE KISSY FACE!

Again with the kissy face. Also, Amy and I have really similar eye color, just noticed that!

The Big 2-3

My 23rd birthday was this past Wednesday. I have to say that with each passing year, my birthday becomes more and more underwhelming (is that a word?). Nevertheless, looking back on this past year in my life, I realize how blessed I truly am. I just want to thank everyone who made this birthday so memorable. I hope 23 has much more in store for me!


Vince gave me THE most amazing perfume for my birthday. It smells so good! Thanks, babe!

My dearest pal Amy brought this cake for me at work, too bad I forgot to take a picture until it was already cut! Oh well, it was still delicious! Thanks Searlesy!

Katy Pughes gave me the cutest earrings (she knows I have a fetish).

Also, thanks to Laura and Sherie for the delicious cookies, the rest o' my fam who supplied much needed fundage for the big trip to Bulgaria, and the rest of you who were so kind to wish me a Happy Birthday.

THANKS GUYS!

Here I Go Again...

So... Thought I would try, yet again, to get a blog up and running. I have tried multiple times (especially before going on long trips such as Alaska this past summer), but always failed due to lack of time, slow internet connection speeds, etc. Keep your fingers crossed that I can actually keep it up this time!
