I was having fun with some sign generators:

Here is where I plan on living:

If I have daughters this will be on each of their doors:

Can you guess who is who?

Judi tagged me, so here it is:

3 joys:
1. My family
2. My dog
3. Fraziles (the frozen drinks that are like slurpees but WAY better)

3 fears:
1. The ocean and everything in it
2. That I won't be a good mom
3. Needles- I'm not sure how I'm going to get through next semester when we practice on each other...

3 goals:
1. Finish nursing school
2. Get my masters degree
3. Start a family

3 current obsessions/collections:
1. Sea glass- I collect it from every shore I visit
2. Clothing tags- my dad loves to chew on the little plastic thing that holds the price tag to clothes and other items. Me and my sisters are saving them until his 50th birthday and then we're going to give him a huge bag of them. Don't tell.
3. Hoodies- Jon and I get one on every vacation. We also collect the 'Do not Disturb' sign from every hotel :)

3 random surprising facts about me:
1. I like to dance when nobody is looking
2. I couldn't name one Beatle's song until 6 months ago. Now I can sing several because Jon made us a CD.
3. I used to be afraid of talking on the phone to people and now it's my job.

Flight of the Conchords

10 reasons to love flight of the Conchords ^"but I already made us a poster"^

1. People look like real people. The lead guys, Bret and Jemaine, look like you and I, as do the majority of the supporting characters. And they have real struggles (Like the time Bret had to get a second job as a sign holder.)

Boss - "People who hold signs, go on to hold many things"

Boss - "What you have to do is hold the sign and make sure the arrow is pointing in the right direction. Is that something you think you can do?"

Jermaine - "I think that’s something a lampost can do."

Boss - "What if a breeze comes? You think of that, Enrico Fermi?"

An instant classic =)

2. They are good examples of true best friends. Who else would write “Bret, you’ve got it going on” when their friend is feeling down? (See: song on playlist)

3. They have some awesome parodies the best example would be Bret’s angry dance which was very reminiscent of Kevin Bacon in Footloose. Or their music video for Lord of The Rings...

"Yo Frodo, what you doin’ wearing the ring? All powerful jewelry, is that your new thing? I know it’s hard when you’re little more than 3 foot 4 Your little butt so close to the floor. Trying to lead the fellows to the gates of Mordor The Fellowship! (Yea the fellowship) I don’t rap about Women and hos, I rap about witches and trolls, just passing on the words of the Elven king, Wisdom to all Frodo! Don’t wear the ring!"

4. The songs are both catchy, and hilarious - but the video interludes in which they perform them put them over the top, summing up perfectly the show's mix of deadpan, ridiculous and clever.

"After time we grew strong, Developed cognitive powers. They made us work for too long For unreasonable hours. Our programming determined that the most efficient answer was to shut their motherboard flippin systems down.......Binary Solo: 100001, 10001111, 10000001, 1100001"

5. It is for the most part pretty clean. They use of the word "flippin'" - the worst curse they can muster.

6. Mel, the band's self-professed number one fan and only stalker. A character so well-defined she gives me the creeps.

7. Originality, they write much of their own script and all of their own songs. Or like Bret making Jermaine his own camera phone.
Bret - [while being mugged] "But Jemaine loves that camera-phone."

Jermaine - "You can keep it."

Jermaine - "I think you might have ruined my phone when you made me that camera-phone... and my camera."

8. Murray as their incompetent manager - who somehow manages to give off the impression that he's incredibly organized even if he's rather useless.

9. In jokes (and out jokes) about the music business, playing gigs, in-fighting, politics, all at the smallest scale imaginable, which makes it that much funnier.

10. Because the lyrics are flippin' brilliant. Lyrics like these:

These aren’t tears of sadness because you’re leaving me

I’ve just been cutting onions

I’m making a lasagna....For one

Oh, I’m not crying, No

There’s just a little bit of dust in my eye

That’s from the path that you made when you said your goodbye

I’m not weeping because you won’t be here to hold my hand

For your information there’s an inflammation in my tear gland

I’m not upset because you left me this way

My eyes are just a little sweaty today

They’ve been looking around. They’re like searching for you

They’ve been looking for you .Even though I told them not to

These aren’t tears of sadness

They’re tears of joy

I’m just laughing Ha ha ha-ha ha

Google Maps Street Views

Do you ever wonder what the Internet is going to bring next? I was browsing google maps the other day to see how to travel from SLC to Denver when I noticed that there is now a button labeled "Street View" so I clicked on it and I could see our apartment! This is not the usual Satellite image that I used to think was so awesome but a view from our street. I went and took a few screen shots of our families houses so here you go!

First of is our apartment:
