Lucky's 5th Birthday!

As many of you know, I am a big fan of birthdays, particularly my own. I try to convince Tom that we should celebrate it on the 15th of each month, and although I have been successful a few times, we generally only celebrate for real in October on my actual birthday. So it comes as no surprise that I would celebrate my dog's birthday. Well, at least the day that I decided was her birthday after we adopted her~ July 17th. Tom and I bought her a stuffed dragon (with reinforced stitching, no stuffing and special tough material) for her birthday, and then took some pictures of her "opening" her gift (artfully wrapped in a Petsmart bag).

Lucky and I on her special day. Yes, we are wearing princess crowns for our little party, which I decorated with jewel stickers. Lucky is also trying to get me to give her a treat in her Kong.

Tom and Lucky. Tom would not wear a crown at th e party. Lucky was not really psyched either, but we made her keep it on for the pictures.

Family Camping Trip '09

Yay! It's time for another blog post by me. This time, the camping trip Tom and I went on with my family. No, this was not some deer hunting trip- this happened waaay back in July.

We had a fun camping trip in American Fork Canyon with my family the second weekend in July. My parents and brother Ryan slept in my parents trailer, Blake slept by himself in a tent, and Tom and I slept in our Trailblazer (because we did not want to be eaten by a bear, of course!). We had a really fun time, and let's face it, since we did this months ago I don't remember many of the details, so let's just move on to the pictures, which is what we all care about anyways, right?

This is Tom and I at Cascade Springs~ trying to take a picture of ourselves~ something that I am not skilled at. This is not surprising based on the fact that I take about 10 total pictures per year.

Then there is me at Cascade Springs~ much less weird since Tom took the picture.

This is my Mom hanging out at camp with her dog, Bax. He decided that he was a lap dog that weekend.

Tom and I rocking some hot chocolate at camp Saturday morning.

Blake and I on Saturday morning. Blake had suffered a basketball injury (to his lip and chin) about 36 hours before this, so his face is a bit roughed up.

My mom and other brother, Ryan. Isn't he handsome? He is single AND gainfully employed, so send your awesome sisters/friends/cousins this way...

Here is my dad cooking us a delicious breakfast. He is the best.

My brothers again...we are obviously having a wild and crazy time on this trip.


And finally, Tom and I on the last morning of the trip~ yeah, we aren't doing anything exciting, but admit it, you are reading this just to see pictures of my cute face. Ha. Just kidding...maybe ;)

Posting is Hard

Well everbody, I was going to actually post something real, but getting it all together is more effort than I am willing to spend tonight...so, to get you by until I get that handled, here is a picture of me at the happiest place on earth...SEPHORA!



This is me in front of the Sephora in Boston’s Prudential Center. See that big smile? I love Sephora.

Let's Get It Started...

That's right, folks- the official Jordan blog actually has a post- after only 5 short months! The reason being that I actually took some pictures so I can actually post about something! Tom and I spent all weekend painting and putting wainscotting in our kitchen and dining room (alright- Tom spent all weekend...I helped a little the first day).

Here is the old kitchen

And old dining room

Here we are in the middle of the project

And here is the end result

Yay for our kitchen and for taking pictures! Now don't get too excited, we are still not great with the camera, but I will try and post every once in a while.
